CRIES ACCUMULATE

Holmes' Murders Are Growing in Number.

MRS. PATRICK QUINLAN TALKS.

_. She Confesses to Abetting Holmes in His ly •».••'-/.•• Insurance Swindles—Startling Statement 5 Made About the Death of Mrs. Conne

A Jiloody Bench Fonnd Supposed to

'f Have Been Used by Holuies. CHICAGO, July 27.—Mrs.Patrick QuinUt* lan lost lier defiant spirit in the police inquisition yesterday. Two days of "sweatbox" experience proved more than she could bear with equanimity and she told the police things which before had not been acknowledged. It has resulted in making the police more than ever suspicious of her husband and part he took in the mysterious business of Holmes. "Our evidence of today secured from

Mrs.Quinlan is highly important," said Chief Badenoch last night. "She has confessed to abetting Holmes in his insurance swindles, and that is a step in the right direction. Patrick Quinlan up to this hour protests that he was a mere hireling, and he did not aid Holmes' affairs at all. Mrs. Quinlan's evidence ,. "was that after Mrs. Conner disappeared »*v it became necessary for Holmes to produce her to collect some insurance.

Mrs. Quinlun consented to act in her

v/' place. She went- to an insurance office fuu in La Salle street, not yet located, and f.' swore she was Mrs. Conner, and signed that name. I think she was wanted to ,, account- as attesting in the collection of some lire insurance that was to be se- & cured by fraud. This opens the way to other deals which it is necessary to know to fasten the guilt of many supposed murders.'' „. Inspector Fitzpatrick located Quinlau's child yesterday. "Little Cora

Quinlan is safe and sound," said he,"at -the home of the Johnsons, her grandTr parents, near Lacota, Mich. Justice of the Police Taylor, to whom we tele|,j. graphed, answered that she had been at that place for nearly two weeks."

Mrs. Quinlan is locked in a cell. A man named Osmer W. Fay was also brought to light yesterday, who admitted tlu-t he wrote the policies for the insurance on the lives of Holmes aud Pietzel. He admits very frankly that k. Holmes encouraged him to keep after ,i}V' Pietzel until he got his insurance writteta, saying that Pietzel might "drop off f}- ]f At any time.'' %V Mr. Fay also knew Pat Quinlan, and .'IW: eays Holmes always assured him that ^Quinlan was a man "to be trusted with any kind of a job, and who would do it well and betray nothing."

eft, STARTLING STATEMENT.

Holmes Murdered Mrs. Conner on Christmas Night, 1890. CHICAGO, July 27.—According to the statements of Jonathan L. Belknap, it -was Christmas night, four years and six months ago, that Mrs. Julia L. Conner jp- was killed. He believes she was asphyxiated in her room while she slept. "fj. Her ruom was the small one adjoining the dark bathroom in the Sixty-third street castle. When all was still in the house Holmes turned on the gas.

When the deed was accomplished, Holmes stealthily admitted himself ,' through the secret door of the bathroom. He lifted the inanimate form of

Mrs. Conner from the bed and carried it to the bathroom. Then, placing the body in the bathtub, he proceeded to & cut it into pieces and fed them to a fire in the stove which was filled with fuel until it became a raging furnace. When all was done he took the ashes and parts that had not been entirely burned and buried them in a mass of quicklime in the cellar.

Colonel Belknap is an uncle of the j-., father of the Wilmette wife of Holmes. He resided for many years at Big Foot

Prairie, Ills. He became acquainted with Holmes through his nephew's connection with hiin. When Holmes learned that Uncle Belknap was worth a comfortable fortune he tried to swinj' die him out of it. He endeavored to obtain loans, and. did get $1,000 in this way. ..".. V-v.

After escaping from Holmes' clutches, Mr. Belknap went to New York state, and he now resides at Weston Mills, Cattaugurus county. On reading the. details of the crimes of. which Holmes ri is accused in the newspapers, he wrote several letters to friends in this city, at asking that his information be transI*. mitfced to the police. These letters contain the statements that Mr. Belknap and his wife spent Christmas with

Holmes and Mrs. Conner in the Sixtythird street block that he helped Holmes carry the now famous stove through the seGret trap door to the bathroom adjoining Mrs. Conner's room. That night, he claims, Mrs. Conner disappeared, going to Omaha, it was said.

B..OODY BENCH FOUND.

It Is Believed That Holmes Used It as an Operating Table. g§. CHICAGO, July 27.—One of the important finds made by the police in t,- their search of the Holmes castle was a bench covered with stains resembling blood. The bench was found in a degerted storeroom next to the apartment in which Pat Quinlan slept. The police were in doubt as to the nature of the stains and an analysis will be made, ev Dr. Robinson, who was called to examine the stains on the bench, said that they were undoubtedly blood. It is believed by the police that Holmes used the bench as an operating table 011 which he dismembered his victims be'f fore disposing of their bodies, r,

TARRED" AND FEATHERED HIM. Baptist Minister Brutally Treated by Four Masked Men.

LEAVENWORTH,

Kan., July 27.—Aspe-

cial to The Times from West Moreland, the county seat of Pottowatomie county, -«ays that at 11 o'clock Thursday night four masked men took Rev. T. S. Rooks,

the Baptist minister at that place, from his home to a place five miles in the conn try and tarred and feathered him.

They kicked and beat him in a brutal manner and he is now lying at a farmer'* house outside the town in a critical condition. Mrs. Rooks went along with -v Ji«r husband and says she knows the

White Cappers. She will swear out 'Warrants for them. Incitement over 4he affair runs high at. West Moreland ?, surrounding country. He is accused j»f trying to assault a young woman.

INSANE ASYLUM BURNED.

Communications Are Cut Off and Details Are Unobtainable. MADISON, Wis., July 27.—Just before midnight fire was discovered in the county asylum for the incurably insane at Verona, 10 miles from the city. The fire started in the hall between two main buildings and soon spread through the hall and into the water tower between both halls and main building.

The fire was quickly beyond control. Help was telephoned for and Madison sent an engine on a special train. The asylum and poorhouse will be a total loss. The only communication with the city was by telephone, and that is now cut off by the flames.

It is lenown that Superintendent L. H. Edwards, while fighting the fire soon after it was discovered, fell 25 feet from the roof and is seriously, perhaps fatally injured.

It is supposed the inmates were gotten out of the building, but there are rumors that some were burned.

Nothing definite can be learned until a messenger gets in from the scene. There were more than a hundred inmates in the institution.

HOBOS ON A TRAIN.

Passenger Tra'n Boarded by Thirty Men Who Kef'Jse to Pay Their Fare. ERIE, Pa.. July 27.—Late Thursday night at Ashtabula, O., a gang of 30 tramps boarded eastbound passenger train No. 2 on the Lake Shore road. They refused to pay their fare and as fast as they were ejected from one car they jumped into another. The passengers became intensely excited and the conductor telegraphed to Erie for a force of police to meet the train. When it arrived here a number of officers surrounded th train, but the hobos rnaae a dash for .berty on seeing the police and only eifeiit out of the 30 were captured.

Julian Mullen, an Erie brakeman, has been found near State Line with his skull crushed. It is believed he was robbed and thrown from his train by hobos.

Motorman Shot and Robbed. SPRINGFIELD, O., July 27.—Last night as Motorman Dennis Lawrence was coming toward the center of the city with no passengers on the car two masked men jumped on the front of the car and another one at the back. One of the men said, "Give me that money box." Lawrence said, "I want it myself." He was knocked down. While attempting to rise one of the villains shot him, the ball entering his head and seriously wounding him. This all occurred within half a block of an electric light, with houses all around. No one has yet been arrested.

Difficulty in Getting a Jury. SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.—On the fourth day of the trial of Theodore Durant for the murder of Blanche Lamont the work of choosing a jury began in earnest. Slow progress was made. Of 15 examined only one was passed, and he may be challenged by the defense later on. The number of well dressed women at the trial increases every session of the court. Continual efforts are made by girls to lionize the defendant.

Two Colored Girls Killed by an Engine. MEMPHIS, July 27.—Lulu Stifft, aged 20, and Willie Irving, aged 18, colored girls, were killed by an engine in the Yazoo and Mississippi yards while crossing the track yesterday evening.

W1L1) "DESERT SHIPS'

SOLEMNLY STALKING ON THE SANDY PLAINS OF ARIZONA.

Camels Which the Government Imported at Great Expense Wandering About the Desert Wastes—Edith Sessions Tapper

Discusses the Experiment.'

[Special Correspondence.

4 7

KlNGMAST, A. T., July 23.—I wonder how many people in this country have ever heard that there are camels running wild in it—camels which the government imported at great expense and with no end of fuss and feathors, and which, after using awhile, it turned out to die on the plains of Arizona. Crossing the Colorado desert, the passengers on the Atlantic and Pacific railroad occasionally catch a glimpse of some strange, weird creatures, neither fish, flesh nor fowl, stalking solemnly in the hot sandy distance—a boding apparition, enough to scare a timid tourist into fits. And on asking what this terrible beast, which looks as if it might have dropped straight out of the Apocalypse, may be you are told that it is a camel, a descendant of the herd transported from the orient during Jefferson Davis' term as secretary of war under Pierce's administration to do the work of horses and mules in the great west.

Derelicts of the Desert.

A military man, an officer from Fort Wingate, who chanced to be a fellow traveler crossing this desert, gave me an interesting history of these "desert ships," which have become mere derelicts on this vast sandy sea. Back in 1850, when California was an El Dorado and when the plains were dotted with emigrant trains, General Beale, who was stationed at Fort Yuma and who marked the frightful sufferings and tremendous death rate of mules and horses, conceived the idea of importing camels from the east to carry stores across this awful waste of country. General Beale, then a young man, wrote to Jefferson Davis, secretary of war, and advanced his arguments in favor of buying camels for this purpose. The secretary was pleased with the novel idea, and soon after a commission was sent out to Arizona to discover the various uses to which these animals might be put in military service. A favorable report was made, and when the secretary made his next report to congress he asked for an appropriation to buy camels In Egypt and Arabia for the use of the war department.

Mason of Mason and Slidell fame was one of the stanchest advocates of this measure, and in 1853 a bill was passed ap-

WHERE THE CAMELS ROAM,

propriating 830,000 for this purpose. Major Henry Wayne was selected to go to the east to buy the camels and to bring them to New York on a naval stores ship. Major Wayne first visited London and Paris in order to get all possible information upon the subject of camels from military men who had served in eastern campaigns. He consulted with camel experts and visited zoological gardens where the animals were kept in order to thoroughly acquaint himself with their habits, diet and

earn.

Then

he went on to Tunis, where the lx», learning his errand, presented the United States government with two dromedaries that its agent might have an object lesson as quickly as possible.

From Tunis the camel embassador went to Constantinople. In Egypt tho camel question became a burning issue in tho khedive's cabinet. As it was against tho law to sell camels out of Egypt, a present of several fine creatures was made by the Egyptian government to that of the United States. This number was augmented at Smyrna, Asia Minor, and shipped to Indianola, Tex., thence taken to Gamp Yerde, where they were kept several years. Then they were taken overland to various Texan points, each carrying government Ktorcs of about 1,500 pounds. From 1857 to 1861 some of these camels were kept at the United States forts at Bowie and El Paso. When tho civil war broke out, these forts were deserted and the camels allowed to roam away. They wandered into the mountains and deserts, making their way to the region of tho Colorado river, and even into southern California and tho Gila country. Some got down into Mexico at least 50 miles below the territorial limits, whero the Indians killed and feasted on a number during their fete days.

Camel Diplomacy.

All of this history, my military friend told me, is set forth in tho government reports at Washington and forms the most amusing reading. The officials concerned in the great camel deal appear to liave had a very important conception of their parts and to have given most laborious and minute reports of all their movements. Jefferson Davis himself in his reports and instructions applied his mind to the consideration of the camel question with tho 6amo seriousness which would have characterized a diplomatic discussion.

He gave very particular instructions to the government agent when and where to buy, recommending Damascus and Palmyra as tho best shopping districts for camels and stating that bargains in dromedaries undoubtedly could be obtained in Kurdistan. He directed Major Wayne to can upon Minister Buchanan in London and explain the Importance of his mission. In addition to all this voluminous instruction the secretary of war wrote a valuable treatise on the subject of camels in relation to military employment. Was ,there ever anything funnier? The secretary of war of this great republic engaged In writing a pamphlet, "What I Enow About Dromedaries," and gravely submitting it to be placed among the archives of the government I

Major Wayne took himself quite as seriously as did the secretary. He. called upon Minister Buchanan in Lopdon and

Minister Mason in Paris, and these, two famous diplomats lent their grave and reverend consideration to the mighty subject of dromedaries, giving advice and introductory letters galore to the agent of the United States government on his quest for camels. All these attentions were duly chronicled and reported to the secretary of war at Washington, together with a great mass of correspondence which the major held with various missionaries in the east on the nature, manners, food, care and breeding of the camel. He paid from $50 to $1,000 for the beast and engaged Arabs to care for them on the voyage to this country. The great pains, the enormous expense and above all the amusing interest taken by these government officials seem to the practical, matter of fact Yankee of today extremely absurd, and when one considers that all this fuss was to the end that a few bony old beasts might wander across the wilds of Arizona chewing the bitter end of the cactus and alarming the transcontinental tourist the whole affair grows absolutely ridiculous.

Finally Became Elephants. When the camels were finally distributed among various western army posts, the owners found they had "an elephant on their hands.'' The creatures were afflicted with strange and incomprehensible diseases with which the western horse doctor could not westle. Horses did not like them and became restive when stabled with the ugly eastern visitors. Even the hostlers took violent dislike to the poor beasts, as the labor of harnessing and packing them was onerous, and they were everywhere unwelcome and gradually fell into disuse.

In 1861 the herd numbered nearly 50 head. Some of these were in 1862 taken to the Comstock mines for use in the desert, and a train of 15 of these beasts was employed In packing salt from Sand Springs, in a desert of salt and alkali about 100 miles east of Virginia City. Wagons, too, were used in the transportation of salt from those springs, and soon with the aid of prairie schooners crowded out the business of the camels. They were then sold to Mexicans, who used them in packing wood down the mountains. Knooking about among the mountains, the wretched beasts soon became gaunt skeletons. They were finally sold to a ranchman on the Carson river, who turned them out to roam at their fancy and to feed on the prickly shrubs of the desert, upon which, as they were somewhat like those of their native country, the animals thrived and increased.

Next they were used by miners for packing ore from the mountains to the mills in the valleys. But soon the burro, the slow footed, easy going "canary bird" of the Rockies, superseded them, and the entire drove was sent adrift in the wilderness. Today the camels are wild, hoary with years, and their hides have, assumed a leathery appearance. There axe only a few left now in the extreme southern portion of Arizona, and members of a recent boundary commission reported that they saw two oamels on the line between Arizona and Mexico near Sonora.

In the Gila country, where these animals roamed at one time, is the greatest souvenir left by the aboriginal races of North America—an immense network of. prehistoric irrigating canals. Their age is entirely a matter of conjecture. Only one tradition exists among the present Indian tribes concerning them, and that is of their destruction.

Indian Traditions.

In 1543Coronado came from Spain seeking the seven cities of Cibola, expecting to wrest glory and riches from their conquest, as had Pizarro in Peru and Cortez in Mexico. He found these ruins of canals, but could learn nothing of their age or builders. The Indian tradition tells that once these great valleys of the Salt and Gila rivers were peopled by a dense and prosperous nation that excelled all others in the building of vast palaces and the manufacture of stone implements, but mostly by changing tho terrible desort into a mighty garden by pntting into it the waters of great rivers.

This people grew and multiplied so that all other tribes envied and feared them, and tho dwellers on tho mountains began to plot how they could seize this paradise in the valleys for themselves. So the warriors of the hills descended upon tho peaceful inhabitants of these valleys, and those who were not killed fled southward.

Soon after great storms came, and the rivers burst through and destroyed tho vast canals. No longer could tho conquerors water their fields. Their grain burned and died, and the trees grew parched and withered until their leaves crumbled in the hand. Then they sent their swiftest runners to the south to find the people they had drivon out and bring them back that the secret of repairing these great irrigating ditches might be learned.

A Few Dead Bodies.

But of all tho host that had been driven from tho valley tho runners could only find a few dead bodies on the arid plains where the unfortunate victims had perished from hunger and thirst. Then tho tribes from tho hills knew they had done wrong and that the anger of the Great Spirit burned against them, and they endeavored to return to tho mountains, but cmly a few succoeded, as those who were sick and faint perished by tho way.

This is the only legend of these prehistoric ruins. Curious fact it is that the poor dumb brutes brought from the oldest countries of the orient by the youngest government should drift to the oldest rogii::i of this country and perish amid its ruins. EDITH SESSIONS TUPPER.

The European's Economy.

Rich Kuvopeans put as much money and moro than wo do into certain things—pictures. books, curios, antiques, stained glass, thoronghbsed horses, pampered menials, wii: s, "collections" of all sorts, establishments and great houses. Tho show placos, tho great libraries, the winners of tho Derby and Prix do Paris, tho armies of powdered flunkies, the galleries of paintings and .statuary, tho cellars of fino wines, the collections of fans, laces, old books, old shoes, old silver, old coins, old armor, musical instruments, snuffboxes, pipes, seaweed, butterflies, drinking flagons, costumes of all times and nations—all thoso show that the European is not niggardly, but spends his money with liborality and intelligonco. And some Americans do tho same—an evor increasing number of them, in fact.

But, as a rulo, the American wastes as much as he spends wisely, and the European never does this. He understands exactly how each sou should go in order to get out of every franc its utmost value. He accurately calculates what his expenses1 will be, apportions his inebme or salary with the nicest care, graduating his scale of expenditure with the wisdom born of a thousand years' experience of life in an overpopulated country—so much for rent, taxes, food, dress, accidentals, journeys, dootors' bills, the eduoatlon and establishment of children, the improvement or repairs of property, all in due proportion.— Llppincott'a.
