District Attorney Graham, w ho said:
"'I desire to say to the court, Hint the
lady known as Miss Yohe and Mrs.
Howard was sent for, saw the prisoner
and had nmplo opportunity for an in
terview with him."
Holmes said that lit hud only had a
three minute interview with tho
woman, and asked that It be renewed
during1 tho noon recess. His request
was granted.
Then the prisoner asked that a plan
he produced of the ( alio wh ill street
house where ho Is believed to have
murdered Pietzel. The District At

court and would be produced at tho
proper time.
"I also ask," Holmes continued,

my effort
to exterminate

analysis. I want to prove that while
it contains a small quantity of nitro
glycerine, it Is entirely harmless, aud
is sold in every drugstore"
"Do you mean the liquor yon left
with Mrs. Wetzel in Hiirliiiglon. Vt.'."'
"Yes. That has never been in my
possession."
Then tho prisoner wanted to know,
if during the testimony of one witness

drew a packet of papers from hi
pocket when lie mine to the date, but
Jloliui's objected to his referring to

Coxcono, X. II., Oct. 30. At ed!
torial appeared yesterday in the Kven;
ing Monitor, Senator Chandler's paper,
written by the Senator and headed:
'Our Coming War with England. '' II
Buys in p;.rt: '"War between the
Tinted States and Kngland is inevita
ble. It will arise on account of Urit
ish disregard for our direct interests.
It will also be forced by Hritish en
croachments upon other nations all
over tho world. It will be fought by
us, having Uussia as our European
ully. A a war offensive on our part,
it may not happen in twenty years.
As a defensive war it may come sooner
and should be welcomed.' One sure re
Kult will be the capture and pertna-
nent
acquisition of Cauada by too
United Slates.
"England proposes to seize from tho
United States a portion of Alaska.
Siie is destroying independent govern
ments In all parts of the globe. She
treats American sentiment and re
monstrance wlih insolence and de
fiance. For the vindication of tho
Monroe uoctriuo in the Western Hem
'isphere and tho protection of these in
dependent governments iu the Eastern i
Hemisphere and the lslaudH of the
ocean it is neceitary that the United
States should prepare for war with
England. It had better come now und
be over than twenty years from now.
A million of men and muskets will
overrun Canada and England's com
mercial ship will be swept from tho
ocean. Let England ucarin. We
ought to bt'gin if it is necessary to
have the Venezuelan territory at the
mouth of the Orinoco,"
W'Asin.vcrox, Oct. 31;. Kx-Postmas-tor-deueral
Don M. Dickinson is
quoted as saying that the president
might anticipate his message to con
gress by outlining through tho me
dium of a letter to a personal friend,
or an Interview, the administration's
foreign policy. A cabinet oflicer said
to-day that thltt course was not con
templated. When congress assembles,
all the correspondence between this

that it will prove to be all that the

A HEAVY SHORTAGE.
I' I'rcuaiirrr Jlogij of Turuma, Wit)i.,
Ill 1m lit 1 00,000. ,
Sax FnANctHco, Oct. 3D. A Tacoma
dispatch to the Chronicle says that ex
City Treasurer Hoggs, who held oBico
f rom . two to lfj'Jl, is an embezzler to
the extent of 5lO!i,00() and that the
bherifl is on the road to Jacksonville,
Ore., tourrest him. The recent bank
failures at Tacoma disclosed the fact
that lioggs, while treasurer, deposited
a large number of city warrants in
the banks receiv ng credit as cash.
The warrants so deposited are Mip
posed to aggregate St-'l J.OOa
The (ieriiiaii-Americau and Colum
bian .National bank have brought suit
to have their accounts with the city
offset with these warrants, claiming
them to be Illegal because issued in
excess of legal Indebtedness. Tim
city's deposit in theso banks aggre
gates glO-.'.OOO cash, and if their con
tention is upheld it is claimed the
city would lose that amount, us it
would bo morally bound to validate
and pay these warrants. Thet-e facts
led to a close investigation of Hoggs'
alleged warrant transactions by the
city ollicials and prosecuting attorney
with the result that it was decided
Saturday to put him on trial. Just
bow the sum of $li)'.,(on, the alleged
stolen amount, is arrived at, cannot be
told, as the oHicials w ill not talk until
the arrest is made.
A LATE CONVENTION.
Nrnntor Carter IllnU Thnt the l.nnt of
June My He Sclortnl.
Wasiiinutox, Oct. 2'J. Senator Car
ter, chairman of the Republican Na
tiunal committee, said to-day as to, the
probable time of holding the next
Republican convention, that he had
not conferred with the other mem tiers
of the committee in regard to the date,
but as six months' notice must be
given after the meeting of the com
mittee, the convention could not be
called earlier than about the middle
of June. Ho thought, however, that
it would bo the general desire to have
the convention not meet until after
the adjournment of congress, and he
did not think it probable that conirress
would be ready lo adjourn until about
the iniodlu of June.
A fair inferel'.eo from Senator Car
ter's remarks -is that the convention
would not be railed to meet earlie
than the lust of June.

IsDiAXAi'or.is, Ind., Oct. 30. "For
forty years I have hoped for tlie an
nexation of Cuba to tho United
States," said Colonel Ivan J. Walker,
commander-in-chief of the 0. A. K.,
when asked what he thought of the
proposed mass meeting in this city to
express sympathy with the Cubans.
"Some of the best friends 1 ever ha I
have offered up their lives in attempts
to free Cuba from the yoke of Spain. I
received a letter u few days ago from
a committee at Chicago which desires
to have general Cuban meetings beid
all over the country on October 31.
Tho committee asked tne to issue a
general order to the U. A. It. for the
posts to meet and give expression to
the Cuban movement. I answered
that it was entirely unnecessary, as
the soldiers of thisland are quite capa
ble of expressing- themselves on all
patriotic subjects."

sheriff and deputies have so far failed
to find Wilson, and fear that he has

rinr.AT)i:r.firiA. Oct .'it In tho
flolmes trial this morning after two
unimportant witnesses had testified, O.
Laforest Perry, asssistant to the pres
ident of the Fidelity Mutual Life as
sociation, was then called. This Is the
company that was swindled out of
$10,000, for which I'ietzel's life was
insured, and it was Perry who began
the investigation into the conspiracy,
lie first identified the policy issued, in
which Carrie E. I'ietzel, the widow, is
beneficiary. It was dated November
J'J, I8!)3. Next lie identified a receipt
for $'J,7l").H.ri, the amount of the policy,
less expenses paid to and receipted for
by Jeptha I). Howe, the St. Louis at
torney, who represented Mrs. PietzeL
This was dated September 24,' 1801.
Perry was present when Howe
received the money. When Holmes
came to this city at the re-q-est
of the company to identi
ty tho body, Howe and Alice
Pletzel Jwere in the olllce. Holmes
came in afterwards and was
introduced to them. He and Howe
met as strangers, but ho said that lie
had met Alice beforti anil the remem
bered him. After the payment of the
mon?y the matter wa closed, until a
letter ivas received by President Kousi!
of the. insurance company from Super
intendent of Police Jlarrlgan of St.
Louis. Tlits contained the declaration
of Hedgpeth, the train robber, that
while in jail in St. Lonifj he had over
heard Holmes and Pietzcl talking of
forming a conspiracy to defraud an in
surance company out of 810,000 by the
substitution of a corpse for Pietzcl.
Inspector Cray of the insurance com
pany was sunt to St. Louis and inter
viewed Hmigpcth. On the information
tnus obt-.iined, a warrant was sworn
out for Holmes ou tiie charge of con
spiracy, und upon this he was arrested
in Boston.
The witness said that when he met
Holmes in IJoston, in the presence of
Heputy Superintendent Hanscom,
Chief of Police Watts and John Corn
ish, a private detective, in Chief
Watts' office, the following conversa
tion took place: '! asked him where
Mrs. Pietzel was and he replied that
he did not care to tell. Then I asked
him where Pietzcl was and he said he
was in South America or on his way
there, and the boy, Howard, was with
him. Alice and Nellie, he said, were
in London with Minnie Willitiuis. He
said he had given Howard to his
father in Detroit and had' sent Nellie
and Alice from Toronto on a train on
which he rode a short distance to
meet M nnie Williams either at Iu f
f do or Niagara Falls I forget which."
Inspector William Oray of the in
surance company told of a trip to Sc.
Louis where ho had procured Herig
feth's statement. This was produced
but not yet introduced in evidence. In
consequence of it the fiction against
II dmes was begun, lie
cated in Ogdeusburg, N,
Prescott," Canada, then
points in New Hampshire
was first lo

at varn.us
, Burlington,

Orrington N. Han-.com, deputy su
perintendent of police of Hoiton, di
rected Holmes' arrest on a telegram
from Fort Worth. Texas, saying he
was wanted there for the "larceny of
one horse." Holmes smiled at this.
When arrested Holme said he did not
want to go to Fort Worth, but that he
wouid go without a requisition to
Philadelphia, where he had defrauded
the Fidelity Insurance Company of
SlO.ofiH. This was entirely voluntary.
Shortly alter noon Inspector Hall of
the Toronto police department arrived
with Mr. Ryves, who is expected to
wear that he lent Holmes the .spade
with which he dug the graves fur the
Pietzel girls.

THE MILITIA CALLED OUT.
tiovtrnor Clark Dom Hi War Paint iu
Earnest.
jLrt'TLK Rock, Ark., Oct, 31. Thin
morning Oovernor Clarke said: "I
propose to keep these two bullies
apart in a peaceful, lawful way if pos
sible; but if I am forced to take the
bull by the horns I shall make some
body bellow before I am through with
it. I will stop the fight, no matter
w ho may suffer." ,
Soon after noon, in accordance with
this expressed determination, the gov
ernor called out the first regiment of
militia. The companies at Pine Bluff,
Helena, Cabot and Jacksonville wero
ordered to bo ready to move to Hot
Springs this afternoon, anl he Mc
Carthy Light guard, Fletcher rifles
and Eagle light battery of this city
were notified to be ready to move at 1
o'clock.
Telegrams from the captain of the
Helena company, received shortly
afterward, said that ho had fortv-ebrht
men ready to mtirch, with 1,000 rounds
of ammunition. Forest City has
thirty-eight men, with plenty of cart
ridges and all eager for the trip.
The plan now is to send, about 100
militiamen to Hot Springs from this
city, and mass the other companies in
Little Rock, so that they may be sent
to Hot Springs early to-morrow. The
object in sending the Little Rock com
panies now is to have them on the
ground at once to assist the- civil au
thorities, should they want outside
assistance.
A WALKAXT FOrt SIIKRII'l IIOLM'T.
A warrant has just been issued fo
the arrest of Sheriff Houpt of (Jarland
county, who Is now engaged in an
effort to get Fitzsimmons to Hot
Sprincrs. The warrant was issued bv
Judge Martin of thef Pulaski county
Circuit court. As.Sheriff Houpt is now
in Texas, service will probably not be
had until he reaches Hot Springs. V
Trouble is expected when tho
militia roaches Hot Springs. Their
first duty will be to arrest one of the
pugilists, and, as the Garland county
officers are using every effort to pro
tect them from Governor Clarke, a
conflict of authority 's expected, and
a conflict at arms is not wholly im
probable. x
With Sheriff White of Miller county
and Deputy Heard at Texarkana wait
ing to arrest Fitzsimmons to prevent a
light and Sheriff Houpt of Garland
county in Texas waiting to spirit the
New Zealander into Hot Springs to
make a tight possible, and the Pulaski
county warrant for Corbett at Hot
Springs, together with the approach
of the militia, the situation is a com
plicated one.
"I'lTZ" ON A r.oL'XUABOLX KOLTK.
A dispatch received by the governor
announced that Fitzsimmons would
not puss through Texarhana. He was
met at Marshall, Texas, by Sheriff
Houpt and the party at onei: left on a
special train for Shrevcport, La. The
route from that place will be through
Alexandria to Pine Pluff, thence over
the Cotton Belt to Caiuden, from Cam
den to Gurdon and thence to Malvern.
The sheriffs of Clarke, Lafayette aud
Ouachita counties have been notified
to arret Fitzsimmons and Julian and
hold them for the sheriff of Pulaski
county. As the party are on a special
train, however, it is improbable that
they will bj arrested as the special

tar.ily Crime.
Tvi.Kn. Texas. Oct.: at Mm. Lvm.
aid Hell, the 1'J-year-old wife of a
farmer living four miles from here,
.las assaulted and murdered Monday
night, by Henry Hilliard, a negro, ,
Mrs. Hell had been visiting 1vr
mother andabout dunk started to walk
home, a distance of half a mile.
Shortly afterward her mutilated body
was found a quarter of a milo from
her home, at the side of the publiu
road. There were evidences of a
terrible struggle, as the body was al
most nude. The fiend, after assault
ing her, cut her throat from ear to
car aud completely disemboweled her.
A posse was quickly organized, led'
by Deputy Smitn of Tyler, who with
lanterns in hand dnd aided by a hound,
tt sicked the negro to within four inilci
of the spot, where, at 4 a. m., they
found him fast asleep in a cotton pen.
Soon nfler the officers had him hand
cuffed a mob of some L'OO men, heavily
armed, arrived on tho scene and de
manded tho immediate surrender of
the prisoner, which was reluctantly
given. The mob started for the scenu
of the murder, where they arrived
yesterday afternoon ut 3 o'clock. Tho
crowd continued to gather at the
scene of the horrible crime until
nearlv a.Ooo citizens of Tyler and vi
cinity were there. '
A few moments before the fiend w:is
brought to the place, a meeting was
held and a committee was appointed
to investigate his identity. -Witnesses
were summoned nnd closely ques
tioned. The result was a thorough
ideiitilieation. In a few minutes au
ollicer approached from over the hill,
followed by HO') determined and well
armed men. When near the scene tho
officers were overpowered and dis
armed, and the negro, Henry Hilliard,
was brought before the committee.
He made a full confession, end wroto
a note to his wife as follows:
"1 am arrested by 'Wig' Smith. Yon
know what they will do with mo. If
I don't sec vou any more, good by.
"IlK.Mty."
After his confession and thorough
identification a vote was taken as to
the mode of punishment It wasunan
imonsly agreed to burn him alive, and
that he should suffer the penalty on
the public square. The line of march
was taken up toward Tyler and ut 4
o'clock the head line entered the main
street, where no lefcs than 7,0(10 people
were assembled. Largo crowds of
women and children were congregated
on tlm awnintrs surrounding the pub
lic plaza. Wagois, carriages, tresa
and buildings weiii converted Into
errand stands' and were thronged at
4:110.
A scaffold was creeled in the center
of the square. Wagons laden with
kindling wood, coal oil and straw worn
driven to the t-cenc and placed in
positiou. The negro was then given
(in opportunity to speak, but bis words
were inaudible. AVhen he offered up
his last prayer, however, he could bo
heard for several blocks, lie was then
lashed to the iron rail that extended
through tho platform.
Mr. P.cll, the husband of tho mur
dered lady, applied the match and tho
llames shot upward, enveloping the
brute in a sheet of fire. He begged
for mercy und it was meted out to
him in the measure ho gave his vic
tim. It was determined to burn hiui .
at once, but the fire was quenched
after the lask piece of wood was
burned. In a few minutes the fire
was started again. From the time tho
match was applied until his death wa.
exactly fifty minutes.
Tho I. &. G. S. train wtis crowded
with the people from towns north.
Hundreds of negroes witnessed the ex
ecution and representative negro,-8
expressed their indorsement of tho
punishment. The officers were power
less and the sheriff wired the Governor I
but his message was too late. All bos-
iness houses closed and the big Cotton I
licit shops were deserted. i
IinliaiiH Want More ICIghln.
Pkhky, Ok., Oct. 31. The Pottawat
omie Indians, in council, passed reso
lutions declaring: "We believe the
stringent rules of the interior de
partment regarding leases are noH
conducive to our interests. It would
be better for the Indian, better for the
w hite tniin and better for the com
munity that the Indian should havo
greater control over his land in tho
way of leasing at least for limited
periods of say five years. Give iia
more autonomy and less red taneism.
The excessive potentialism of the gov
ernment tends to dwarf the develop
ment which is necessary to make ui
self-supporting and which can be at
tained only by imposing upon the In
dian greater -nonal resnonsibility."
