quite possible that he would have remained
at liberty. But Detective Geyer returned
to Philadelphia with enough evidence TO
secure conviction. and Holmes, the master
murderer. who confessed to having com
mitted twenty seven crimes, paid the penalty
for them on the galOwS.
DIFFERING radically from the Holmes
- case in the method by which the mys
terry was solved but resembling it in the
cunning and callousness displayed by the
criminal, was The Mystery OF the Frozen
Death" in Buenos Aires few years ago.
A number of men who were prominent
in the life of the city-bankers aud lawyers
and doctors-dicd within few weeks of each
other. But in every case the attending
physicians had given certificates of death
from natural causes, either cholera or yellow
fever. Autopsies had been performed in
three of the cases, but even these. post
mortem examinations disclosed nothing out
of the ordinary. though many persons won

delpha The details Of the case dovetail
exactly with the scheme that Howard out
lined to me last summer
As soon as this information reached Phila-
delphia the insurance company detailed an
experienced detective named Geyer to arrest
Holmes and investigate his antecedents. for
it was clear that PitezeI had not met his
death through accident, but as the result of
a carefully laid plan. After a months
search Holmes was traced to New England
and finally arrested in Boston.
THIS, however, proved to be virtually the
l. beginning of the case, for the further
Geyer dug back into Holiness history the
more gruesOme details he discovered
1t was in the course of his search through
Indiana and Illinois that Geyer came across
the most startling discovery of the entire
case, the mysterious building in Chicago
known as Holmes Castle
The prisoner had personally superintendent
the erection of this structure and investi-
cation showed that it contained an air
proof, sound proof vault. communicating
with the cellar by means of a secret stair
case. Buried in the cellar floor and half
consumed by quicklime were found the re-
mains of at least five persons who had been
lured to the castle and there murdered.
Inquiry developed that Miss Minnie Will
liamS had entered Holiness employ in 1898
and had lived with him at the castle. In
the latter part of the year she had invited
her sister Mamie to be present at her we'd
ding with Holmes. Mamie had come to
Chicago. but the two sisters had never
again been seen alive

dered at the deaths in the entire absence Of
any epidemic.
Manuel Portcras. one of the detectives
connected with the city police force, made
it his business to dig back into the history
of the fifteen prominent men who had died
during the previous six months. In no case
could he find any reason which would e1-
plain their murder, any motive for re-
moving them. They were all fairly wealthy,
but their property descended to their fam
lies and no single heir appeared to be con-
nected with even two of the cases-much less
all of them.
What Porteras did find, however, was a
rather puzzGng coincidence. Each of the
dead men had been guest at the home of
Dr. Albert Beaurgard. the most prominent
physician in the city, only few days before
his death. Less than twenty four hours
after dining at the Besurigsrd house each
one of them had developed symptoms Of one
of the dread diseases.
Following this line of ressOning-though
1t appeared to be the height of sbsurdity to
suspect Doctor Beaurigard, member of the
Ecole de Medicine, and a scientist who was
mentioned as the logical successor to Koch,
Porteras disguised himself as book agent
and succeeded in worming himself into the
confidence of the servants in the Be8urigsrd
home.
7 ESS than a week later BuenCs Aires was
- startled by the news of the arrest of DR..
Albert Beaurigard, the foremost physician In
South America. on a charge of murder.
During the days which preceded his trial,
the scientist preserved an air of total non
chalance, appearing entirely oblvious of the
fact that he was about to be tried for his
life and contenting himself with issuing
statements that 1.-THE whole matter is too alb
surd to be considered seriously" So nu-
merous were his friends and so secure his
position in the social life of the South Ameri-
can capital that the majority of the people
claimed the affair was a plot on the part of
the police, an attempt to cover their past
failures by sensational prosecution of an
innocent man.
1t was not until the state had laid the
foundation for its case by introducing the
testimony of physicians who had attended
the dead men, followed by proof that each
of them had dined at the Beaurigsrd home
only few hours before they had been taken
i'll. that Porteras played his trump card At
his direction the prosecuting attorney called
Doctor Beaurigard's butler to the stand, and
for the first time the face of the accused
man showed the strain under which he had
been laboring.
