CHICAGO , Nov. 20. A sixty-foot stee
smoke stack was torn from ths Unlverslt ;
club building by the wind today , and , crash
ng Into the skylight of the Handy Abstrac
julldlng on Washington strct , drove a showe :
of two-Inch glass Into the offices below , dan
gerously Injuring two men and cutting am
jrulslng almost every one of the 125 peopl
n the offices. The dangerously hurt are

Ex-United States District Attorney Thoma
Mllchrlst , Taylor H. Snow , a real estati
lealer ; Q. A. Tallman , clerk ; J. 0. Connor
clerk , and M. H. Brown , an attorney.
It Is not thought that either Hamly's o
riostrlct's Injuries will prove fatal , althougl
both suffered severely from loss of blood.
The accident occurred Just before noon
when every desk In the abstract offices wai
occupied and while a large number of at
torneys and clients were transacting busl
ness there. The big skylight , covering i
laigo portion of the building , was protectei
t > y a strong and heavy steel netting am
that alone prevented the heavy smokestacl
from going- through the roof. Had It doiu
so large loss of life would have resulted , a :
twenty-live or thirty clerks were bunche <
close together below when It struck. Ex
United States District Attorney Mllchrls
narrowly escaped death. A large piece o
glass struck him on the shoulder , cuttlnj
through his clothing and leaving a long , ugl ;
gash. As It struck ho leaped to one bide , Jus
as a piece of the skylight three feet smian
crashed down edgewise on the spot when
he had stood. H. H. Handy , the mllllonaln
president of the company , was cut In i
dozen places. A large fragment o
glass grazed his head , t arlng a large wouni
In the side of his face , both hands am
arms , were cut , and his right shoulder wa
cut to the bone. The noise of the crashlm
glass and the cries of the alarmed clerk
caused a small panic in the building , th
tenants Jamming the corridors and stair
ways In their rush for the street. Severn
young women clerks and stenographer
fainted and were painfully crushed In th
crowd , but none were dangerously hurt , i
force of physicians was called to dress ih
wounds and carriages and ambulances wer
called out to carry away the Injured. 1
vas rumored that a portion ot Ihbulldln
had collapsed , but examination showcU IN
the building was uninjured nail'- ' ; from 111
biouklng ot the skylight.
A portion of the falling smokestack struc
the roof ot the restaurant of Wllllnm Boyli
creating a panic among the p'ople at lur
cheon there , but no one was Injured.
The Handy building Is a handsome ttruc
lure with a sixteen-story front on Washing
ton street , diagonally across from the clt
hall. The offices ot the abstract compan
are situated In a broad , one-story addttio
running back to the alley In the rear. Th

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 20. Archconspl-
rater II. H. Holmes , accompanied by Mrs.
Pltzcl and u pretty woman who called herself
Mrs. Holmes , arrived In this city today In
the custody of Detective Crawford and Spe
cial Agent Perry of the Fidelity Mutual Life
association Mrs. Pltzcl's ear-old
IC-j - daugh
ter , Meda , and her 1-year-old boy were also
with the party. Mrs. Holmes disappeared
soon after her arrival and no clew to her
whereabouts could bo obtained. It Is thought
she la stopping at a hotel In the neighbor
hood ot police headquarters. After the ar
rival the party was closeted with Superin
tendent of Police Linden until late In the
afternoon. When the conference was over
Detective Crawford detailed the story of the
trip , the most Important feature of which
was the relation made to him by Holmes of
the story of his whole life. It reads like the
most sensational of romances. Holmes sat
fosslrto the detective , with handcuffs on. The
train had scarcely emerged from Iho Boston
ikpot before the prisoner tried to brlbo hla
captor. Ho offered the detective $500 If ho
would allow him to hypnotize him so he could
escape. Ho talcl ho had frequently hypnotized
people , having acquired the art from a college
piofesHor in the west. Ho said ho could get
the money from his wife nnd Mrs. Pltzcl.
MADE HIS COLLEGE EXPENSES.
When ho say his words had no effect ho
enteied Into general conversation and told
the story of his life. Ho said he was raised
In Burlington , Vt. , and was so well educated
In the school there that at 15 he was a
teacher. For some tlmo afterwards ho went
to college there and In Detroit , Mich. Hero
he formed the acquaintance of a medical
student , who , ho said , furnished the body In
Now York in the present case. Ho refused
to divulge his name. During vacations they
worked on farms to raise their college ex
penses , but one summer they found them
selves without means , nnd then the medical
inn suggested the Idea of getting a body
nd beating an Insurance company. This
as twelve years ago. The doctor got his
fe Insured for $12,000 They obtained a
oJy In Chicago , took It east , arranged the
etalls of identification nnd successfully got
lie money , with which they continued their
Indies. He lefused to name the company
hits swindled They worked the scheme
forwards with success , Holmes obtaining
urns ranging from $10,000 to $20,000. Once
lolines got his Ilfo insured for $20,000. Ho
vent to n hotel In Rhode Island At that
Imo ho wore a beard. He secured a corpse
i Chicago , cut off the head and took the
jody to a lonely spat not far from the hotel ,
" "hen he shaved off his beaid , returned to the
utel , asked for Holmes nnd engaged n room
o wall for him. Ho had brought the head
Ulh him and burned It beyond recognition In
ho lire places of the hotel. This scheme
pwevor , fell through , the mother of Ids wife ,
vhen she discovered It , threatening to tell
ho police , and Holmes fled to the west.
MURDERED THROUGH JEALOUSY.
Resuming his story. Holmes said that
while living In Chicago , about eighteen
nonths ago ho fell In with n IVDPWliter
girl , and furnished a house on the outskirts ,
Nheio they lived together. A younger sister
: ameto visit them , and the woman ; rew
o jealous of her that In a quarrel ono day
lie struck her over the head with a stool
and killed her. To save the woman with
whom ho was living. Holmes said he put
he body In n trunk , loaded It with itouus
ind sunk It In the lake. The girl had prnp-
orty In Texas , nnd he and Pllzel took It
off her hands and sent her abroad. It was
worth , he sold , $40,000 , and after getting
t in ihelr hands they went throui.h Texas ,
Jijlag rar loads of horses on no'vy on tlitd
iroperty , but as they never hod a legal
Illc to the property , the notes were worth-
ess , and It Is for this affair that they are
vr.nted In Fort Worth To save this prop- ,
crtv. Holmes said he and Pltel formed tha
cheme ol swindling the Fidelity company.
Ic told the. detectives that far the Crimea
ummlttcd ho deserved to he hiug d a
'p/eu times.
Hclmes Is not tacking for money , as ho
ilmsilf admitted that at the piexont tlmo
10 Is supporting nearly two dozen persons ,
nclu 'tig the girl murderess , her mother
and nn Imbecile brother ; two orphans In
"ihjc.iKO. who llvo In ono ct his properties ;
hico spare wives and their chlldrt.ii , and hla
own mother and father. In Kank.iliee. Ho
would not give the names of the women.
Ho firmly maintained that Pltzcl la alive
n Snn Salvador , and that he will hear from
lilm through the personal column of a cor
al n New York newspaper. Mr. Perry said
that as a result of the Interview It had been
lectilpd to ancsl a number of other persons ,
whose names would not yet bo given out.
Mr Peiry related In detail the story of
lolines' at rest In Boston and the manner
n which Mrs. Pltzel was decoyed from Bur-
Ingtou. Ho .said that In the secret con
ference today nothing had been said that
would In the slIghleHt degree refute his
: heory that Pltzel had been murdered. When
In the west ho saw the parents of Mrs. Plt
zel , and they told him that their daughter
lail complained of the exorbitant fee charged
by the St Louis lawyer $2,500 In corrob-
uratlun of his murder theory , Mr. Perry said
that he had from Mrs , Pitzel an exact de
scription of her husband , agreeing In every
respect with that of the corpse found In
the Callow Hill sticct house. Mrs. Pitzol , ho
continued , was perfectly Innocent of any
complicity In the whole affair. She told Perry
last night that she had received only $500
In cash. She said Holmes had taken $5,000
of the money and put It In a land speclula-
tlon In Fort Worth , In which Pltzcl was also
Interested Holmes told Perry today that
Interested. In Texas , Perry said , Holmes
operated under the name of II H Pratt.
Ho added tl.at II. F. Perry. I ) . T. Pltzel and
B. T. Lyman are ono and the same man.
