Not Allowed to Talk.

Philadelphia. Pa.. Auj£*l.— Holmes has not admitted anything and every Interview that has been printed as coming from him is false. He has not said that Pietzel committed suicide; he has said nothing whatever concerning the Pietzel children; he has not admitted that Chappel articulated skeletons for him and he has not expressed any dismay at the arrest of Quinlan. Holmes is perfectly willing to talk; will answer, any questions the visitor likes to put to him concerning his castle, but the authorities won’t let anyone talk with him. No newspapers are allowed to reach him until all reference to his case has been cut from them, and he is not aware of the evidence unearthed in Chicago. Experienced criminal lawyers say there is no good case against him.
