HOLMES MYSTERY UNsoLVED.
Chicago Police Have Theory That
Murder Was Not Premeditated

Chicago, Ill.-Though several sus-
poets have been locked up, the po-
lice Friday admitted that they are net
near a solution of the mystery sur
rounding the murder of r. C. p.
Holmes of the Edison Commonwealth
Lighting Co., whose body was found in
downtown alley early Thursday.
Two negroes and white man were
locked up early Friday on suspicion.
What connection they may have with
the case the police will not divulge.
TIE police believe that while
Holmes was murdered, the killing was
probably not intentional. They believe
he was followed from the Auditorium
hotel, where he attended a conven
ton. His physical condition was so
poor, the police think, that he was
unable to Withstand the shock of the
blow and died in the alley.
Maj. J. H. Griffin of Schnectady,
N. Y, was the last man to see him
alive. Griffin left for SchnectaIy

Three Missourians Said to Have
Been Victims of Ex-Convict-
One Body Is Lately
Found.

South Bend, Ind-The South
Bend police authorities we're in
formed Friday of the arrest of James
Bremmingstall, accused Of the murder
of six persons near Dowagiac, Mich.
The arrest was brought about by
Bremmingstalls wife, who told the po-
lice she feared she was to be muir
dered.
The list of Bremmingstall's victims,
according to the officials, is:
Man in Kansas (name not given),
killed by Bremmingstall 16 years ago.
Railroad man in Missouri, name un
known, killed seven years ago.
Two men sleeping in tent in Mis-
souri,, names unknown to officers.
David Huff, Dowagiac, June, 1907.
Smith Hortium, Dowagiac, Febru-
ary, 1908.
Bees for Protection.
Mrs. Bremmings,all, apparently dis
tracted, appealed to Prosecuting Attor-
ney T. j. Bresnahan for protection.
She said that Jim was going to kill
her; she could not sleep for tear he
would break into the house and mur-
der her.
Jealousy is one of the causes as
cribed.
David HUFF, an aged citizen of Dow
agiac, went to the Bremmingstall
home to live year and half ago.
He decided them his property. One
night last June a scuffle was heard
in an upper room of the home. Huff
was found dead in bed. Bremmins-
stall said HUFF choked himself to death
with the bed clothes.
In February of this year Smith HoI-
tium disappeared. There are several
circumstances tending to connect
Bremmingstall with his disappearance.
Hortium's body was found frozen into
the ice of nearby stream this spring.
His money had disappeared.

Heirs to Contest Request Of Million

Boston, Mass.-President Roose-

tate of Benjamin F. Hadley, an eccen-
trio millionaire of Somerville, unless
the courts decide that a new will of
Hadleys is a forgery.
When Hadley died last December he
left will bequeathing his large prop
erty to his immediate family. The
document, unexpectedly discovered,
leaves the estate, with the exception
of the bequest to the president, to
distant relatives in England. 1t will
be contested by American heirs on the
ground that it is forgery.
During his long lifetime Hadley
never spent more than 81 for carfare,
seldom wore collar and tie, never
paid to have his shoes shined and
never attended theater.

HARDEN WINS POINT
SUPREME COURT SENDS CASE
BACK FOR REHEARiNG.
COUNT Won MoLTKE SUED FOR LIBEL
German Journalist Attacked Kitchen
Cabinet" Long In kaiser's
Favor.

Leipsic-The supreme court of
the empire decided Saturday that
the trial ending in the sch
fencing of Editor Maximilian Harden
of Die Zukunft to prison for libeling
Gen. Count Cuno Won Moltke was un-
fair 1t sent the casea back for re-
hearing.
Harden, one of the most radical Of
German editors, began fierce attack
many months ago on a kind of kitch-
en- cabinet, long in high favor with the
kaiser, and known among its members
at the Knights of the Round Table.
He accused the knights not only of
political intrigues, but of the grossest
forms of immortality. The kaiser con.
sidered the showing so strong that he
deprived all of the accused men Of
their military and civil posts-nearly
all being in high government positions
and banished them from his court.
Moltke, nephew of the famous gen.
eral of that name, and commander OF
the Berlin garrison, sued Harden, lost
his case, appealed, secured convic-
tion and was considered to have won
a kind of vindication, though he was
not restored to the kaisers favor.
! The reversal of the last verdict is
heavy blow to the entire. group of ac-
,cused officials.
Prince Zu Gutenberg, a former am.
bassador to Rome and foreign minis
ter is awaiting trial at present on a
charge of perjury. in connection with

which dismissed him from the army
