LET HEATING-PLUMBING.
G. w. Sutherin Gets Contract for New
Boswell Street School.

The heating and plumbing contract
for the new Boswell Street school
building was let to George w. Suth-
erin, local plumber, for $50, S57.70, at
meeting of the city board of educa-
ton held Thursday afternoon.
Sutherin will start his work next
week so water will be available for
the use of the contractors in laying
the foundations.
The excavation for the new struc-
ture has already been made and
actual construction will begin next
week if weather permits. There are
several tons of dirt that was exca-
waited that will be given to persons
who will haul it away.
Charles B. Cuthbert, the architect
for the new building, was authorized
to test every barrel of cement to be
used in the construction of the build
ing. This action was taken for
safety.
The board also decided to elect
teachers during the month of April.
This action has been taken in May
in previous years. This will give the
members of the board more time go
select 4 staff.
A QUESTIONABLE is being issued by
A. J. Stout, superintendent of schools,
asking the teachers where they wish
to be reelected to their positions for
The next term.
There is a feeling on the part of
the board that many teachers are
giving too much of their time to out
side enterprises giving financial re-
turns. The superintendent and a
committee of teachers are drawing up
regulations for the employing nt OF
teachers for next term.

As soon as this Information reached
Philadelphia. the insurance company
detailed an experienced detective
named Geyer 10 arrest Holmes ana

was clear that Pitezel had not met
his death through accident. but had
been deliberately murdered. After Il
months search. Holmes was traced
To New England and finally arrested.
This. however, proved to be practical
ly the beginning of the case for. the
further back Geyer went into Holmes
history, the more gruesome details
he discovered. In endeavoring to tind
out what had become of Mrs. PiteZel
and her five children. Geyer found in
the cellar of Il house in Toronto-a
house rented by Holmes under the
name of Canning-the bodies OF two
children later ldent ltiei as Alice and
Eta Pitezel. From Toronto the trail
led To indianapolis, hy way of Detroit
and Cincinnati. and It was in Indian
apolis that Geyer discovered the body
OF Howard Pitezel. aged ten. jammed
into the chimney of the furnace in a
house which had been rented some
time before by man who answered
To the description of Holmes.
II was in the course OF his search
through Indiana and Illinois that Geyer
came upon the most startling dis
covery of the entire case-the
mysterious building in Chicago known
aS Holmes Castle" or "HOlmehurst."
The prisoner had personally superin-
tended the erection of this structure
and investigation proved that 1t con
tained an air-proof. sound-proof vault
communicating win the cellar by
means of Il secret staircase. Buried
by quicklime were found the remains
OF at least five persons who had been
mred to Holmehurst and there muir
dered.
All Of these crimes had been commit
ted some time before the Pitezel ar
fair. and had it not been for the fact
that Holmes overlooked the promise
which he had made to a convict in
the 81. Louis prison, It is quite pos
Sible that he would have remained al
liberty, constant and deadly peril
TO everyone with whom he came in
contact.
But Detective Geyer returned to

Holmes paid the penalty for his crime

any sensation ut the time, for the
coroner's jury gave speedy verdicI
OF death from accidental causes.
There was clear evidence that some
sort of an explosion had taken place.
A shattered bottle which had manifest
ly contained some sort of infiammable
material, broken pipe filled with
partly burned tobacco and charred
match, lay beside the body.
An autopsy showed that Perry had
died from congestion OF the lungs
caused by the inhaling of flames or
chloroforn, the latter having pre-
sumably formed the contents OF the
broken bottle. So, as there were no
claimants for the body and no estate.

Potter's field. There they would have
remained undisturbed II it had not
been for the evidence of convict in

Shortly after Perry's death, the
Philadelphia branch OF the Fidelity

from Jephtha D. Howe, an attorney in
