ADMITS LEADING A LIEF. OF CRIME.

llow llc Swindled IiiHunmco Companloi Out ot Tbonsandw of l)oibir«— A Ctrl Murdered by Ifor-

JeulnuA Sinter.

PiTU.AUKLiMUA, Nov. 2L —Arch Conspirator II. 11. Holmes, accompanied by Mrs. Pitzel and a pretty woman who calls herself Mrs. Holmes, arrived in this city Tuesday in the custody of Detective Crawford and Special Agent Perrj\ of the Fidelity Mutual Life association.

Detectivo Crawford detailed the story of tho trip, the moat important feature of winch was the relation made to him by Holmes of the story of his whole life. It reads like the most sensational of romances

Swindled Muny Insurance (oinpaiium. Holmes said he was raised in Bur lingt.on, Vt., and so well educated it school there that at 16 he was teacher. For some time afterward h2 went to college there and later in De troit, Mich. Hero he formed the acquaintance of a medical student, who, he said, furnished him in New York the body used in tho present enso. He refused to divulge his name.

Dunn# vacations they worked on farms to raise money to meet then college expenses, but one summer they found themselves without means and It was then that the medical man suggested the idea of petting

a body and beating an insurance company. This was twelve rears ago. The doctor got his life insured for $12,500. They obtained a body in Chicago, took it east, arranged the details of identification, and got the money, with which they continued their studies. He refused to name the company thus swindled. They worked the scheme afterward with success, Holmes continued, obtaining sums ranging froin $1.0,000 to $20,000.

Once Holmes got his own life insured for 520,000. He went to a hotel in Rhode Island. At that time he wore a beard. He secured a corpse in Chicago, cut off the head, and took the body to a lonely spot not far from the hotel. Then he shaved off his beard, returned to the hotel, asked for Holmes, and engaged a room to wait for him. He had brought the head with him and.burned it beyond recognition in the fireplace of the hotel. This scheme, however, fell through, the mother of his wife, when she discovered it, threatening to tell the police, and Holmes tied to the west. .lo.doiiA tiirl Murd«*rs Her sinter.

Resuming his story Holmes said that while living in Chicago, about eighteen mouths ago. he fell in with Minnie Williams, a typewriter girl, and furnished a house on the outskirts, where they lived together. A youuger sister eame to visit them, and the woman grew so jealous of her that in a quarrel one day she struck her over the head with a stool and killed her. To save the woman with whom he was living Holmes said he put the body in a trunk, loaded it with stones and sunk it in the lake. This girl had property in Texas, and he and Pitzel took it oi? her hands and sent her abroad. Tt was worth, he said, £•10,000, and after getting it in their hands they went througu Texas, buj. ing carloads of horses on notes on this property, but as they never had a legal title to the property tho note were worthless, and it is for this affair that they aro wanted in Fort Worth. To save this property Holmes said he and Pitzel formed the scheme ol swindling the Fidelity company. He told the detectives that for the crimes he committed he deserved to be hanged a dozen times.

SavH rit7.fl

Alive.

Holmes is not lacking for money, as he himself admitted that at the present time lie is supporting nearly two dozen persons, including Minnie Williams, her mother and an imbecile brother two orphans in Chicago, who live on one ot li is properties, three separate alleged wives and their children, and his own mother and father in Kankakee. He would not give the names of the women. He firmly maintains that Pitzel is alive in San Salvador and that he will hear from him through the personal column of a cer, tain New York newspaper.

Special Agent Perry said that lie had obtained from Mrs. Pitzel an exact de seription of her husband, agreeing in every respect with that of the corpse found in the Callowhill street house. Mrs. Pitzel, he continued, was perfect, ly innocent of any complicity in the whole affair. She had been forced, through ignorance and pressure of various kinds, to sign certain papers, but she told Perry that she had re ceived only S500 in cash. She said Holmes had taken §5,000 of the money and put it in a land speculation at

Fort -'orth, iu which Pitzel was also interested. Holmes told Perry that this was true.

Mr. Perry said that Holmes is said to have oiio wife in New Hampshire, from whom he claims to have been di vorced and by whom he has a child 13 years old another in Illinois whom Mr. Perry himself saw and by whom there is a li-year-old child, audthe wife who is at present in this city.

Added to tlie con fession of Holmes as telegraphed from Philadelphia Tuesday is a dispatch from Fort Worth, Tex., intimating thai Holmes made away with both of the ill ams sisters for their property, worth probably S75.0U0. Then there also was discovered in Chicago late Tuesday night a witness, one PatQuin lan, who tells a story strnnjrely corrob orating many of the details of tho news from Philadelphia arid Fort Worth There seems to be little doubt that Anna Williams, who was a Texas tfirl disappeared in Chicago.

RUBINSTEIN IS DEAD.

The Famnnn Musician I'amrw Awny Ruaftiu—111M Career. LONDON. NOV. 21.—Anton Cregor Rubinstein, the world's greatest pianist and musician, is dead, lie passed away Tuesday at Peterhof, near St. Petersburg. The cause of his death I was heart disease. There is no musician to take the place of Rubinstein. For ears he has stood alone on a great height, unapproached and unapproachable. Noti since Liszt has he been equaled. His death is to be all the moro regretted because he was in tho very prime of life. At his recent appearances in public people have been amazed at his apparent vigor and comparative vouthtulness.

For it must bo remembered that Rubinstein's had been a familiar name for more than one-half a century. Yet he was not aged. (Rubinstein was born at Weichwotyu'M*. on the frontier of Eoumaula, November SO, l&W As a child ho was taken to Moscow and studied the piano under Alexis Villoma His tlrst appearance In public was made \vhen lie whs onlv years of age. At 10 years of aire Rublnsvoir went with his teacher to Paris, where ho remalned two years, his performance ot 6evn.ru.: concerts winning for him the advice and encouragement of Liszt.

Rubinstein next visited Enrclaud. Sweden and Germany and In Uerlln he studied composition under Dehn. Having completed his course of instruction Rubinstein devoted hira-

Belt

for Romo time to teaching In Berlin and later to teaching In Vienna. JJo returned, tc Russia later on and was appointed pianist Grand Duchess Helena. Subsequently be became director of the musical concerts of lh Russian Musical society.

Rubinstein vtslted tho t'nited states

Among the dead composer's operas are "Dimitri Donskoi." "Los Chasseurs Slberiens," "Tom Le Fou." "Les Knfants des Prutccrs," "Lalln Roohb." "Nero" and "Jvut Kalashorlkoff."

Tho jubilee of Rubinstein's public sorvlec was celebrated in St. Petersburg on Noveinbci 18, 1889. Since 1

HOT Rubias'.ein has held no of

fice. spending his time in traveling and in composing. In 18'W Alexander li. ennobled the composer and in 1277 Prance decorated hhr with the cross of the I.egio" of Honor.

CHINA MUST SPEAK.

Japan Ueplie* to the President'H Offer to Act HA Mediator. TOKIO, NOV. 21. —It is learned that the Japanese government has sent its reply to the note of United States Minister Dun asking whether a tender by the presideut of the nited States of his good offices in tho interest of restoring peace in the east would be agreeable to Japan. Before reaching a conclusion the min istry gave the matter consideration for several days and finally stated tc Mr. Dun that although the friendly sentiments which prompted the govern* raent and people of the United States were deeply appreciated the sue cess of the Japanese arms had been such that China should approach Japan directly on the sub ject. In view of tho absence of Japanese and Chinese diplomatic representatives at Pekin and Tokio re spectively, this would imply that any communication between the two gov ernments would be made through Un-

American ministers to China and Japan, who, since the outbreak of the war, have had in charge the interests of the countries.
