It was 3:10 o'clock when the trial was resumed, and nearly all of the session, which continued until 4:35 o’clock, was taken up by District Attorney Graham in outlining the case to the jury. The opening address of the district attorney was forcible throughout, but his denunciations of Holmes, which at times were particularly severe, had no outward effect upon the accused. Holmes’ composure was wonderful, and during the narrative he busied himself in taking copious notes of the prosecuting of-

In addition to the murder of E’ltezel, the prisoner is also accused of the murder at Toronto, Ont„ of Pttezel's two young daughters, Alice and Nellie, of the murder at Irvington, Ind., of the young son, Howard Fitezel. and also of the murder of various other persons In tho famous Holmes

It was supposed he had been accidentally burned to death, but u claim for $10,000 insurance by Jephtha D. Howe, of St. Louis, started an Investigation which resulted in Holmes being accused of Pltezel's murder for the purpose of obtaining the insurance money. Detective Oeyer went out to visit Toronto, Chicago and other western cities to endeavor to obtain evidence against Holmes which would warrant his being ar raigned for murder. Detective Geyer's success In finding the dead bodies of the children is well known, and other facts which he gleaned satisfied District-Attor-ney Graham that Holmes could be convicted hero of the murder of Pltozel.

BURNED HIS BUILDINGS.

Fennuy 1 vanla»» Object to O^ae Mini Own-

ing 1,400 Acres of Land.

YY'ilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 30.—William Thorpe, a wealthy rnilyoad contractor of New York, recently purchased 1,400 acres of land iu the lower end of Luzerne county. He erected a number of buildings, planted trees and built fences. The buildings have been dc stroyed by incendiaries, the trees torn up and the fences destroyed. Detectives are now at work on the case. It is alleged that people living in the vicinity said after Mr. Thorpe had made his purchase that 1,400 acres of land were too much for one man to own.

captured Tuesday morning about four o’clock, three miles from Kilgore. He offered no resistance. Soon after the officers hud him handcuffed a mob of some 200 men, heavily armed, arrived on the scene and demanded the immediate surrender of the prisoner, which was readily given. The mob then left for the scene of the murder, w here they arrived in the afternoon at three o’clock. The crowd continued to gather until nearly 2,000 citizens of Tyler and vicinity were there. A few minutes liefore the negro was brought to the place a meeting was held nnd a committee was appointed to investigate his identity. Witnesses were summoned and closely interrogated. The result was a

thorough identification.

Oftit’orH Were Overpowered. In a few moments an officer approached from over the hill, followed by 300 determined anil well-armed men. When near the scene the officers were overpowered and disarmed and the negro brought before the committee. He made a full confession. After his confession and thorough identification a vote was taken ns to the mode of punishment. It was unanimously agreed to burn him and it w as agreed that he should suffer the penalty on tho public square. The line of march was taken up toward Tyler and at o’clock the head of the line entered the main plaza,where no less than 7,090 peo

pie were assembled.

Tied Fast and Fire Started. A scaffold was erected in the center of the square. Wagons laden with kindling wood, coal oil and straw were driven to the scene and placed in position. The. negro was given an op]M>rtunity to speak, but his words were inaudible. He was lashed to the iron rail that extended through the platform. Mr. Bell, the husband of the murdered woman, applied the. match and the flames shot upward. It was decided to burn him at once, and us fust as the wood was consumed it was quickly replenished. From the time the match was applied until he was incinerated

was exactly 50 minutes.

The south-bound train was crowded with people from the towns north. Hundreds of negroes witnessed the execution and representative negroes expressed their indorsement of the punishment. The officers were powerless and the sheriff wired the governor, but his message was too late. All business houses and factories were closed and the big Cotton Belt shops were de-

serted.

Predicts a Conflict with England, in Which Kussla Will Aid Is. Concord, N. 1L, Oct. 29.—The following from the pen of Senator YYilliam E. Chandler is printed in his paper, the Monitor, under the caption: “Our Coming War with England. A Predic-

tion:”

“1. War between the United Status and England is Inevitable. “2. It will arise on account of British disregard of our direct Interests. “3. It will also be forced by British encroachments upon other nations all over

the world.

“4. It will be fought by us having Russia as a European ally. ”5. As a war offensive on our part it may not happen within twenty years. As a defensive war it may come sooner and should

be welcomed.

“6. One sure result will be the capture and permanent acquisition of Canada by

fall, if the weather permits. The libel suit of Mrs. Eliza Hazlet, a Quaker minister of Uichmond,against J. E. Wolf, has been dismissed. The settlement of the counties with the state will be made in December, and £2,500,000 will be turned into the

state treasury.
