Cuicauo, 111, July 26.- oi so aeosa

Wednesday by the men digging in the
cellar of the Holmes building, but it
was one which m.y go much farther
towards securiug the couvictiou of the
murderer. One of the workmen fouud
in a pile of rubbish a letter signed -II.

The signature is one of the many aliases
used by Holme and ot e of the com
monest cf the lot The letter is iu bis
well-kuown haudwntiug and is ad-
jr eased to au occupant of the building,
to whom the dectectives who took pos
jession of the letter before ihe reporters
sould get bold of it refused to state.
It is believed, however, that the letter
is to C. E. Davis, the jeweller who
jccupiea the building with Druggist
Robinson.
The letter touches particularly as to
the doings of Janitor Qumlan and asks
where he now is. It then goes on in a
jocular manner to discuss the fact ol
the recipient whether be has seeu them
or their goats about the building.
Special inquiry Is made as to the par
titions in the bouse and in conclusion
the writer expresses the believe that he
will not have to stay in jail mucn
longer. It was at erst reported that
two letter had been found, but Detec
tive Norton, who has charge of the
material found in the cellar, denies
hat i h in is so. He declares that the
two supposed letters were only parts
of the same letter. A new accusation
now rests againat Holmes' character,
and that is that be maae away with
Miss Cieirrand, with whom be lives In
the bouse at Sixty-third and Wallace
street, just before be had the Williams
girls there. The neighbors' remember
but little of the girl, not even her first

blonde about tweuty-ftve years of age
and lived with Holmes something less
than six months.

sidered eminently "American" to sneer
at anything emanating from a British

to the memory of a man who In his dip
lomatic relations was actuated by an
"unswerving spirit of honor, justice and
conciliation." That is a fitting summary
of the Secreary's rule of conduct, and

complete ignorance concerning her

with her, and on these occasions he
kept aloof from his acquintance and
introduced her to no one. Mrs. W. L.

more about this girl, it is believed,
than anybody else, but tbe cen'ral

talk about the case.

build it, was told by the building in-
apector tbat all tha was necessary wan
to improve the upper portion. This
will be done at once. An order of fore
closure has already been secured irom
the court and tomorrow or n-xt day an
order will be asked for allowing tbe
improvements to be put on. The pro
