St. JoriKrii, Mo., Sept 4. A reporter
met Dr. Fraker, the insurance swin
dler captured Sunday in the woods of
Northern Minnesota, and his captors,
Attorney Robert Derrick and Chief of
Police Wilk. rson of Topeka, at Tal
niage, Iowa, on the Chicago Ureat
Western railway at 9 o'clock this
morning, Between Talmag-e and ht.
Joseph, which was readied at 1:50
o'clock this afternoon, the reporter
tnlked wit h Fraker and the others and
obtained the complete story of the
chase and capture, now published for
the first time.
Speaking of the capture, Mr. Her
rick naid: "Wilkcrsou deserves great
credit for his part of the work. For
myself, I am the company's lawyer,
aud it is my duty to protect the com
pany from any injustice through the
courts. Of course, I shall get a good
fee for this work and Wilkerson will
get enough to justify him in making?
mo trip. I here is no stated reward
out. All offers of regard have been
withdrawn."
''The other clues have generally been
fakes and we did not get Fraker until
we found some one who knew him and
Knew where to get hlni. Jt is useless
to ask who that person is, because I
shall never tell."
The man under arrest is Dr. (. W.
Fraker, by his own confession and by
the positive identification of Judge Ml
Y. Sullivan of Excelsior Springs.
Any stranger who had never seen
him before, but had seen his picture,
would be struck with the resemblance
to the pictures, though he now wears
short burnsides with a short mus
tache, a mixture of red and yellow.
His trousers are patched, his brown
wool shirt shows evidences of wear
and his slouched hat has seen long and
rough service, in short, he looks very
much a hermit, who had lived a long
time in the woods,
When asked to tell the story of his
wanderings, Dr. Fraker said t here was
not rnuch to tell.
'I did fall into tiie river the night
we were fishing," he said, "and came
very near being drowned. However,
.there was driftwood floating in the
stream and 1 caught a log and floated
down the river for a considerable dis
tance. Finally 1 found a place where
I could touch bottom and waded out
on the land. I laid there all that night
and all the next day. "
When reminded that the current at
the point where he disappeared formed
k whirlpool where the best of swim
mers would 1 not think of venturing,
he said he knew it was a terribly dan
gerous place and considered his es
cape from drowning a miracle.
No amount of uestioning or argu
ment could mako him change this part
of the story in the least.
"1 don't know jest when it was," ho
continued, "that I left the river, but
with my clothing muddy and hedrag
gled, my hat lost my h:ur full of sand,
1 was in no condition to go back to
the Springs, aud accordingly 1 came
to Kansas City. I had formerly stopped
at first-class hotels, but this time, be
cause of my appearance,! did not wruit
to go to one of them, and so went to a
rooming house on (Irani! avenue s uth
of Fifth street, almost diagonally across
from the t'entropolis. 1 stayed there
four days. On the second day I went
to Twelfth street near Walnut street,
and bought a ruzor, and then I shaved
off all my beard, and if anyone in
Kansas City who knew me had seen me
on the streets he did not recognize me.
'"At the rooming house no one asked
my name, anil I did not volunteer to
tell it. Then I went to Chicago.
While there I think I saw Dr. 1. N.
Love of St. Louis, but he was talking
to some ladies and 1 did not approach
him. From Chicago I went to Milwau
kee and stayed most of the fall of that
year. By that time the name of Fra
ker had been too much advertised, and
1 told a room mate that I was from
Denver and that niy name was William
Schnell. 1 went by the name of
Sehnell from that time on."
'Dow about your being called
Quick'.'"' was asked.
"You don't understand German,
then?" he replied; "Schnell is the
German for Quiek, and a few people
ued the English word for it, that is
all."
"I lived in Wisconsin and Minne
sota ever since."
"Were you iu the timber or the
towns?"
"I stayed most of the time in towns.
There are no big towns outside of Mil
waukee in that country. I went from
one place to another. No, I won't tell
you what towns we visited. You must
excuse me now."
"Wbv did vou conceal your ident
ity?" I didn't."
"Yes, but the assumed name and the
fact that you kept out of sight when
the companies were looking for you
proves the contrary.''
"Well, I had not decided to stay
away until the papers said all kinds of
things about me. Then I kne,v 1 was
in disgrace ami could not make a liv
ing if I came back. It was vou news
paper boys who got me into it."
Then after a long pause he said:
"No, it was my own fault and no "ne
fUc's. I have wanted to conn' buck a
thousand times, and came near com
ing. Int Hie disgrace and what peonle
were saying about me kept me fmn
doing h. This living ih-sii h is b rr b'e
nnd 1 am glad now 1 rhi going back.''
"It was telegraphed from Dulutii
that you expected a share of the iu
ku ranee money."
"That was not true. It was all to
go to my heirs."
"Were you not planning to huv
hoiuc land with springs and spend
S'-'O.UOO making a resort of it?"
"The way that came to be told wn,
that I said the springs bad good medi
cinal qualities and it would take S.'O,
to tlx them up right. I never said I
Imd that much money, or would de
velop the Hpring. I stayed in thi
woods in that part of the country for
the last nix months to get the benetit
of the springs, because my health has
been bad. 1 have been sick nearly
three years now mid no'hlng did me
any good until 1 reuchcJ thoe
springs."
! Dr. I" raker carefully avoidc answer
ing ijuestions intended to reveal his
means of subsistence. Finally, when
the question, "Who gave you away to
tho insurance companies and furnished
the information that led to your
arrest?" was bluntly asked, tho doe
tor started suddenly and 6aid: "I
think it was George llarry, one of the
men who went fishing with me. 1
wrote hiin from Wisconsin last win
ter. He was in New Mexico then. He
answered my letter and I wrote again,
but never heard from him."
"In my second letter I told him
about' a young man, whose name I
won't mention, who was very kind to
to me when I was sick. I told him
the young man's name and I think ho
wrote to hiin and got my address after
I moved into Minnesota. I am
satisfied that llarry gave me away.
He is in New Mexico now under ar
rest, lie was arrested at Moberly two
weeks ago for burglary. 1 don't know
of any one else w ho had the means of
knowing just where I wasvvho wonld
give ine away.
Dr. Fraker denies that he has seen
Johnnie Edmunds, his former office
boy, since he left home. He also says
he knows nothing of Menendez, the
Spaniard, who was fishing With him.
lie says be has not seen a Kansas City
paper or any of his Kansas
City acquaintances since he went away
more than two years ago. He went
smooth shaven most of the time, but
grew a beard in Minnesota because of
the mosquitos. He says his main ob
jection to coming back is that his pri
vate history has all been raked up and
scattered broadcast by the newspapers.
BLACKMAIL FROM PRISON.
Holme's Scheme to Secure Needed Defcime
Money.
Philadelphia, Sept. 4. II. II.
Holmes, who is charged with whole
sale insurance swindlingand with sev
eral murders, and is now awaiting
trial for the killing of B. F. Pietzel,
although deprived of writing material
and in spite of every precaution taken
to prevent his communication with
anyone outside, has written what pur
ports to be a sketch of his career on
the margins of books in the solitude of
his cell, and has succeeded in getting
it Miniggled outside, and sent to print
ers. This is part of a deep-laid
scheme of Holmes.
During his travels throughout the
count ry he has had business and social
relations with many persons of un
doubted respectability. He has with
unusual cunning kept a record of all
these transactions. The major por
tion of these friendships were un
doubtedly free from any suspicion of
wrong-doing, but they are to be made
the vehicle for securing bufficient
funds for his defense.
Th') opening chapters of Holmes's
book, published in one of the local
papers, rehearse the earlier doings of
a New Hampshire lad. whose subse
quent career is not foreshadowed in
any way. Innocent enough as the
reminiscences may be, they are the
groundwork of Holmes's bold stroke.
Thi'se papers are to be mailed to all
unfortunate enough to have been
classed among Holmes's friends. These
people will be informed that they are
to be part and parcel of the book.
Intimations will be given that it will
be unpleasant to be known in con
nection with its author and that all
mention of names will be omitted for
a money consideration.
One of the chapters is devoted to the
Boston experiences of Holmes and
Minnie Williams. The woman, under
the guidance of Holmes, entrapped a
wealthy man of family. For a time,
being led to believe that he had deeply
wronged the girl, he made such occa
sional financial reparation as he
deemed proper, aud the "conscience''
fund found its way into Holmes'
pocket. When Minnie Williams
dropped out of sight the Bostpn man
breathed freer, but proof sheets of
Holmes' book are now being printed
in a printing otlicc near Sixth and
Market streets to be forwarded to the
Boston man and this proposition made:
If he will purchase $l,O0ii copies of the
book, accompanying the order with
SI, ouo in cash, his name will bo
omitted. ; s well as all matter that
would in any way point to htm. No
doubt the Boston man- who can well
afford it will very promptly order tho
book and inchi.su remittance for the
baiiu .
STONE SILVER WORK.
The tiovcrnor Confer With Ithmil Com
mitteemen for Four States.
Sr. Loi;ih, Mo., Sept. 4. Governor
Stone, who had a conference last night
with ex-Congressmau 11. P. Iilaud on
the silver question, said to-day: "We
merely talked over in an informal way
the work of organization of the
friends of silver iu accordance with
the general plan adopted by the
recent conference at Washington.
At that conference I was appointed a
member of the provisional committee,
with instructions to confer with the
leading free silver Democrats in Mis
souri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa
with regard to the selection of a com
mitteeman in each of those stages to
take executive charge of the work. I
have opened correspondence in pur
suance of that idea and as soon as the
free silver Democrats in the states
named indicate to me the men for the
work I will report the names to chair
man H in isof the national committee,
who. I suppose will issue a call for
another meeting nf the friends of sil

I CAUSED BY VACCINATION.
(From the Journal, Detroit, Mich.)
Every one In the vicinity of Meldrum
avenue and Champlaln street, Detroit,
knows Mrs. McDonald, and many a
neighbor has reason to feel crateful to
her for the kind and friendly Interest
she has manifested In cases of Illness.
She Is a kind-hearted friend, a natural
nurse, and an Intelligent and refined
lady.
To a reporter she recently talked at
some length about Dr. William's Pink
Pills, giving some very Interesting In
stances In her own Immediate knowl
edge of marvelous cures, and the uni
versal beneficence of the remedy to
those who had used it.
" I have reason to know," said Mrs.
McDonald, "something of the worth of
this medicine, for It has been demon
strated In my own immediate family.
My daughter ICittie is attending high
school, and has never ISeen very strong
since she began. I suppose she studies
hard, and Bhe has quite a distance to go
every day. When the small-pox broke
out all of the school children had to be
vaccinated. I took: her over to Dr. Jame
son and he vaccinated her. I never saw
such an arm In my life and the doctor
said he never did. She was broken out
on her shoulders and back and was Just
as sick as she could be. To add to It
all neuralgia set In and the poor child
was In misery. She is naturally of a
nervous temperament and she suffered
most awfully. Even after she recovered
the neuralgia did not leave her. Stormy
days or days that were damp r pre
ceded a storm, she could not go out at
all. She was pale and thin and had no
appetite.
"I have forgotten Just who told me
about the Pink Pills, but I got some for
her and they cured her right up. She
has a nice color in her face, eats and
sleeps well, goes to school every day,
and Is well and strong In every partic
ular. I have never heard of anything to
build up the bloed to compare with
Pink Pills. I shall always keep tV"m In
the house and recommend them to my
neighbors."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are considered an unfailing specific
in such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after-effects of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sal
low complexions, that tired feeling re
sulting from nervous prostration; all
diseases resulting from vitiated humors
in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic
erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific
for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excesses of
whatever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price (50
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 they
are never sold In bulk or by the 100) by
addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y.

THE DURANT TRIAL.
nrrntlQi Atirnf Huron Make tha
Opoinif Appeal.
Sas Fkaxchio, Sept. 4. The trial
of the Durrant case began this morn
ing. District Attorney Barnes in his
opening statement for the prosecution
said:
'We wijl show you that in the
month of September, 1$'J4, Blanche
Lamont, a young girl of about 20
years of age, came to San Francisco
from her home at Dillon, Mont,, in the
hope that the mild climate of Califor
nia might benefit her health. Shu
went to reside with her aunt and un
cle, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Noble, an J
from the time of her arrival here until
April 3 she was engaged in attending
school. She was not a society girl in
any sense of the word. She was
of a quiet disposition, hotnekeep
ing and religious. She never at
tended parties nor theaters or other
places of amusement except in com
pany with her relatives. We will show
that Blanche Lamont in her lifetime
was well, too well, and yet not well
enougn acquainted wit h the prisoner,
Durrant; that he was iu the habit of
acompaiiying her home from church
and prayer-meeting; that he was a
caller upon her at tier aunt's house;
that upon the only occasion upon
which sho ever went any where . wit li
any young man as far as we arc in
formed, she vi.iited the park one after
noon iu company with Durrant We
will give you a history of her life and
of her movements as far as we are
able up to the ud of April, 1895, in or
der that you may form a just appreci
ation of the character aud habits of
this unfortunate young girl.
"We will show you her connection
with the defendant and we will show
you the reason why, when the mur
dered body of Blanche Lamont was
found iu the darkened belfryj of the
church and the question sprang from
the lips of every resident of this city
and of this country. 'Who is the mur
derer?' why it is that the state answers
that he who was responsible for the
slaughter of this young life is William
Henry Theodore Durrant; Durrant,
once the friend of Blanche Lamont;
Durrant, once in charge of the Sunday
school library; Durrant. once assistant
superintendent of Emanuel Sunday
school; Durrant, once the electrician
who knew the ins and outs of the
great building; Durrant, once the
handy man and lack-of-all trades of
the church, and now Durrant, the
prisoner now on trial for his life. We
shall show Dnrrant's connection with
the crime and shall demonstrate by
irrefutable and unanswerable evi
dence that he, and he alone, commit
ted, the murder.
"If we show you these facts; if we
show you that Durrant met this ill-
fated girl on the day of her death;
that he accompanied her to the church;
that he was .seen to enter the church
with her; that he was seen afterwards
in the church alone; that Blanche La
mont was never again seen by human
eyes, from the moment she entered the
portals of Emanuel Baptist church
with the defendant; that in the church
was found her dead body; her clothes,
her school books showing that sho
had never been home, and that she
had gone straight from her school to
her death; if we show you as we con
fidently expect that no one but the
prisoner could have committed this
outrageous and horrible crime, we
shall look to you as citizens of this
great state, whose reputation for just
ice and for enforcement of tho laws,
we, as its otlicers are trying' to uphold,
to render your verdict that the pris
oner at the bar is guilty of murder in
the first degree. "
