LONDON , July 27. The Tlmea this inorn-
Ing has a leader commenting upon the enor
mous Incrcaro of private deposits In the Bank
of England , and says : This Indicates that
the money formerly put Into foreign Invest
ments has been kept In hand. Good author
ities estimate that up to 1892 English capital
ists were accustomed to Invest 30,000,000
j early In America , chiefly In railroad stocks.
But for the uneasiness Induced by the mone
tary system undoubtedly It would be rein
vested In America now that business Is per
ceptibly improving there , but the defects ot
the system still remaining , cautious people
will retrain until they are remedied. The
positive rush , both In England and In Europe ,
to lend money In China proves the desire for
good Investment.

CHICAGO , July 25 Workmen In Swindler
Holmes' morgue dug up a piece of bone and
doctors say It Is part of human anatomy.
The bone was BO small that the searchers
did not at first attach much significance to
It. The doctor cays It Is certainly a piece
of human bone , but he cannot determine to
what part of the anatomy It belongs.
An old sponge was also found and as It Is
discolored , the police suspect tint possibly
It was once saturated \\tth blood. A chemical
analysis will be made. One of the Important
finds made by the police today In their search
of the "castle" was a bench covered with
stains resembling blood. The bench was
found In a deserted store room next to the
apartment In which Pat Qulnlan slept. The
police were In doubt as to the nature of the
stains and an analysis will bs made.
Chief of Police Dadenoch put Pat Qulnlan
and his wife through another severe examin
ation today. It Is believed that the pair
can she sensational evidence If they can be
made to talk , and Qulnlan will be kept under
police guard.
Dr. Koblson , who was called to examine the
stains on the bench said they were undoubt
edly blood. It Is believed by the police that
Holmes used the bench as on operating table
on which he dismembered his victims before
deposing of their bodies.
Attorney William Capras of Tort Worth ,
Tex. , visited police headquarters today , repre
senting the Texas heirs of ttie Williams
girls. He said he wo-ild endeavor to prove
that deeds to the girls' property held by
Holmes are forgeries. After being closeted
with the chief of police and Mr. and Mr ? .
Qulnlan for nearly five hours. William Ca
pras , the lawyer from Texas for the heirs of
Minnie Williams , stepped from the sweat box
this afternoon.
"I think Qulnlan Is weakening and will
tell the truth now , " ho said , "but Mrs. Quln
Ian Is obdurate. I have come fiom Texas
to follow this matter up. I knew Holmes at
Fort Worth when he came there as Pratt
with Pltzel as B. T. Lymon , and Qulnlan as
their confidential man. You see , Holmes hat'
not recorded the deed he forged after murder
ing Minnie Williams In June.until January of
he next jear. Then , no longer fearing In
quiries , ror ho had made away with Nanp'e '
oo , he had the. propsrty tran f vred to a
fictitious man named Bond , for so Q rnhi
iractlcally admitted todav. The hou 13 thev
( milt was an exact counterpart of the Holmes
ca tle hero and lust as mysterloiu. On th *
property Holmes borrowed $10,0'J ) trim a
iank and raised as much more from private
lartles. "
, IUS. QUINLAN MAKCS ADMISSIONS
Mrs. Tatrlck Qulnlan lost her defiant spirt
n the police Inquisition today. Two days' o ;
'sweat box" experience proved more thai
she could bear with equanimity and she told
he police things which before had not been
acknowledged. It has resulted In making
: he police more than ever suspicious of he
f.usband and the part he took In the myster
ous business of Holmes.
"Our evidence today , 'secured from Mrs
Qulnlan , Is highly Important , " said Chle _
Badenoch tonight. "She has confessed tc
tbettlng Holmes In his swindles , and that I
a step In the right direction. Pat Qulnlan , u ]
to this hour , firmly protests that he was :
mere hireling and did not know Holmes' af-
'airs ' at all. Mrs. Quintan's evidence was tha
after Mrs. Connor disappeared It becam
necessary for Holmes to produce h < r to collec
some Insurance. Mrs. Qulnlan consented t
act In her place. She went to an Insurance ofllc.
n La Sallo street , not yet located , and
swore she was Mrs Conner and signed that
name. I think she was wanted to attest In
ho collection of some Insurance that was to
) e secured by fraud. This opens the way to
other deals which It Is necessary to know to
fasten the guilt of many suppsed murders. '
Inspector Fltzpatrlck located Qu'nlan'E
child today. "Little Cora Quintan Is safe
and sound , " he said , "at the home of the
Johnsons , her grandparents , near Laconta ,
Mich. "
Mrs. Qulnlan Is locked In a cell In the
Harrison street station tonight. A man
named Osmer W. Fay was also brought to
light today , who admitted that he wrote the
policies for the Insurance on the lives of
Holmes and Pitzel. He admits very frankly
that Holmes encouraged him to keep afte-
Pltzel until he got his Insurance written
saying that Pltzel might drop oft at any
time. Mr. Fay also knew Pat Qulnlan , and
also Holmes always assured him that Quln
lan was a man "to be trusted with any k'nd '
of a job , and who would do It well and betray
tray nothing. "

PHILADELPHIA , July 2C Lawyer Wil
liam A. Shoemaker , who represents II. II
Holmes , made a suggestion today : "Did It
ever occur to you , " he asked an Associate. !
press reporter , "that the Minnie Willlami
who was murdered by Theodora Durrani In
San Pranclsco last April was of about the
same age as the Minnie Williams of tills
case ; that t > ho was not known In that city
and had no relatives ? Who knows but that
the 'Frisco Minnie might be the missing
girl ? U is true that when the Williams
girl left Holmes she said she was going to
Europe , but there Is no positive knowledge
that she did go. "
Mr. Shoemaker was shown the story from
Chicago to the effect that Janitor Qulnlan
was Implicated In the case almost as deepl )
as the arch-conspirator ; that Qulnlan had
kept a woman whose first name was Ll/zle
in the castle , and who had a sister working
In the restaurnat In the building , and that
a child wis born and mysteriously disap
peared ; and that Quintan's wife suddenly
appeared on the scene and the gitl , Lizzie ,
was hurried away , and is now thought to bo
In Omaha. The story eald , besides , that
under Instructions from Holmes in this city ,
Qulnlan bad destroyed all of the letters ,
papers , clothing and other articles which
might aid In the tracing of his career , and
the confession was extracted from Holmes
Involving Qulnlan. Mr. Shoemaker declared
the story was entirely new to him. So
far as sending Instructions to Qulnlan was
concerned , Holmes , while In the city hall
, here , had been permitted to send and re
ceive mall , but since hl confinement In
prison be cannot do so without the sanction
of the prison officials , who read'all letters.
"The public mind had better be disabused
of the Idea that Holmes will make a con
fession , " continued the attorney. "He hat
told all he has to tell and has nothing more
to confess. He feels confident that he can
not be convicted of murder and just as con
fident that when the time comes It will be
proved that the bodies found were used In
Insurance schemes only. The police of Chicago
cage have no case at all , and have merely
been cutting a ridiculous figure before the
public. I know nothing of Holmes being
tried hcie. The first olllclal notice I would
get would be an Indictment , and so far as I
know , no steps have been taken In that di
rection. "
District Attorney Oraham also said today
that no decision had been reached regarding
the place of trial.
"The only diary I know of , " ta'd Mr. Shoemaker -
maker "Is on Holmes' person. U was kept
by his wife , Mrs. Howard , In her own hand
writing , and she Is mistaken when she say
he left her for two days during the time
the Journal was kept In Toronto , He was
never away from her a whole day or a
whole night. "
"There Is absolutely no truth In thli story
that Holmes Is broken down. He Is In very
good spirits and li busy at present settling
up his business affairs turning his real
estate Into cash. Two weeks ago George U.
Chamberlain , a Chicago lawyer , spent several
hours here on behalf of parties ! in that city
who desire to purchase.
' ' 'The securities consist of farm lands , town
lots and other properties In vattous parts of
the country. He control * the "castle" block
In Chicago , besides the $40,000 worth of prop
erty In Fort Worth , Tex. I saw this block
In t fall , when I was down thereon this
case. Holmes built this block , he having ob
tained the ground by a trade of a Chicago
property with Miss Williams , who had In
herited It from her father. "
"Holmes did not know a Mlsi or Mrs.
Connor In Chicago I do not know which , be
cause I never talked with him much about
this. Qulnlan , I think , was Janitor In the
'castle' pretty much all the time Holmes
was there. Quintan's wife lived there In
winter and went to a farm In summer.
"Holmes Is anxious that Qulnlan , as well as
ever ) body else , should tell the truth. In the
case and conceal nothing.
"We expect Mrs. Howard to testify to the
truth regardless of where It lights , and If
she does It will be In Holmes' favor. We are
anxious to have her testify rather than to
throw obstacles In the way , as has been said.
I want It understood that he desires every
body to tell the truth. "
"Is he setting the example ? " was asked.
"Well , I have never known him to de
ceive me In anything. He thinks , and so do
I , that a true statement of all the facts at the
trial will be of the greatest assistance In
proving hs ! Innocence. "

CHICAGO , July 26. Pat Qulhlan , the Jani
tor of the Holmes "castle , " Is in serious
danger. He carried the thirty-seven keys
which opened the various doors , secret and
otherwise , to the chambers of Hlomes' castle.
He was the factotum of Holmes. Qulnlan
Is between two fires. If Holmes confesses ,
as It Is expected he will , ho may implicate
Qulnlan , and It Qulnhn confesses he must
apparently Implicate himself.
Damaging evidence agalpst Qulnlan has ac
cumulated more rapidly In- the past twenty
four hours than that against Holmes. De
tective Norton was Informed that early In
the career of Qulnlan with Holmes the
former kept at the castle a girl whose first
name was Lizzie. She had a Bister working
In the restaurant connected with the castle
This Lizzie gave birth to a child , which
Holmes took care of. What became of It Is
unknown save to Holmes and Qulnlan. The
report spread about Sixty-third street that
Qulnlan was about to marry the girl. Sud
denly his wife , who had not been living at
the castle , appeared on , the tcene. Lizzie
was hurried out of the city and It Is E
she Is now In Omaha. An effort will be
made to find her.
To Qulnlan It appears were seih the-orders
from Philadelphia to destroy all of Holmes'
papers , clothing and other articles which
might aid the detectives In tracing his ca
reer. How faithfully Qulnlan did this Is to
be seen In the little of Holmes' effects to be
found In the castle.

The Impression prevails qmong those here

she Knew only as Gordon , In Chicago. He ap-

PEN'DEJl , Neb. , July 2C. ( Special Tele
gram. ) At the session of the congressional
committee last evening United States Attor
ney Sawyer was placed on the stand. He
claimed that Sheriff Mullin v"s arrested for
Irterferlng with the officers of the govern
ment white discharging their duties on an
Indian reservation , over which the United
States has exclusive Jurisdiction.
Senator Thurston asked him how It could
be that Justice of the Peace Londro p , before
whom the sheriff was brought for tilal , could
claim any jurisdiction In view of the fact
that he was merely an officer of the state.
That was a pofnt which Mr. Sawver did not
teem able to answer.
Wnen he was asked why he did not get out
a writ of habeas corpus for the Indian police
who were arrested and placed In the Thtirtn
county jail he said their sentence was to
short that he did not have tlmn.
A laige delegation of Omaha Indians were
present and stated that the ) did not want
the agent to transact their business for them ,
and requested that that power be taken away
from him.
Senator Thurston and Congressmen MMMo-
John , Strode and Andrews left this morning

CAPTAIN BECK SUSTAINED.
WASHINGTON , July 26 ( Special Tele
gram ) It does not seem possible that the
Interior department will comply with the re
quest of five members of the Nebraska con
gressional delegation that approval of leases
made by Captain Beck be suspended and
evictions be discontinued until the senators
and congressmen have had time to Investi
gate and report to the department. Their
telegram was referreJ Immediately to the
Indian office. An official of the Indian
bureau today said that he did not think the
Interior department would suspend the ap
proval of leases and order evictions stopped.
flio Indian office Is still determined to sus
tain Captain Beck , and It Is believed that
the agent Is only carrying out ordeis and
has done nothing for which he should bo
reprimanded. Ills alleged action , however ,
In speaking to senators In a discourteous
manner has not proven pleasing to Interior
department officials. They have heretofore
been very well satisfied with Agent Beck's
course They are determined that the leases
with the Flournoy company are Illegal , and
hence the only way for settlers to protect
themselves Is to come forward and take thtlr
leases through the agent. No olllclal action
will be taken until the arrival of the secre
tary of the Interior , who Is In Georgia , and
will not return before the last ot next week.
A communication will be sent , acknowledging
the receipt of the telegram from members
of the delegation , and advising settlers to
take out new leases. Interior department
Official * are not Inclined to plaae credence
In 'the statement made thatsettlors will BUB
on.
WASHINGTON , July 20. The acting sec
retary of the Interior has sent a dispatch
to the Nebraska congressmen In answer to
heir protest on the subject of the leasing
if the Wlnnebago lanJs. The acting sec
retary says the procceilngs of Cnptaln Beck.
under the decision of the United Slates court
it St. Louis , have baen formally approved
ind that the settlers can easily protect them
selves by taking out leases through Captain
Beck. ' The dispatch ends : "Why not ad-
\EO ! the settlers to take this course ? "

Attempt to INeni > e.
FORT SMITH , Ark. , July 26 Cherokee
Bill got his hands on another revolver today
and iifed It In an attempt to liberate prisoners
ccnfined In munleier's row of the "United
States jail. His attempt was a bold one and
resulted In the death of Larry Keating , the
oldest guard on the force. Night Guard
Tom Parker and Larry Keating had Just
gone on duty. Turnkevs Eoff and McConnel
were engaged In locking up On account of
the hot weather and the long days the
prisoners are allowed to remain In the corridors
riders until 7 o'clock When running In tin
prisoners , all retired to their -cells and the
two upper floors were run In without Inci
dent on murderer's row.
After the break had been thrown , Eoff
went In to lock the calls , whllo McConnel
remained at tbe door. When Eoff reached
the cell ne\t to Cherokee Bill's he found the
key hole pluggul and while be was trying to
clean It out , Cherokee BUI came to the door
and fired , shooting Keating through the
stomach. He ran to tbe end of tbe corrldoi
and fell dead. Eoff ran back to tha corrldoi
on the east side of the cells and McConnel ,
Parker and several -deputy marshals tan In
and opened fire on Cherokes Bill , whenever
be tried to leave his cell His ammunition
was nearly exhausted and he agreed to : ur-
rcnder his pistol to Henry Starr , which was
done.
The pistol with which he did the sbcotlng
was a new pearl handled , foity-four calibre
How he got It Is a mystery , but Josle
Brown , his sister , who has been hero for rev-
era ! days and visited him twice , has been
ariested for It , and Is now In the county jail
The murdered guard was very popular and
many threats of lynching his nuudoicr bave
been made , though the citizens , who were
terribly excited , are now becoming cooled
None of the prisoners left their cells c\cept
Bill and he Immediately jumped back , nto It
and the guards have everything In erder
though there was much confusion anyone the
prisoners.
Crawford Gcldsby , alias Cherokee Bill
alias Gorilla , Is onlylO , but has been con
victed of train robbery and murder. One
murder case Is pending In the supreme court
of the UnlUd States and the charge of killing

SAN FRANCISCO , July 26 On this , the
fourth day of the trial of Theodore Durrani
for the murder ot Blancha Lament , the wort
of choking a Jury began In earnest. Slow
progress was made. Of the ten examined
only one wag passed , and he may be chal
lenged by the defense later on. The malr
question of the prosecution to jurors Is
"Would you convict a man and Inflict tin
death penalty on circumstantial evidence ? '
The defendant's questions are bale ] upor
the familiarity with the newspaper com
ments upon Durrant and the crime of whlcl
he Is accused. Almost all the Jurors sum
moned have formed Impressions which wil
require strong evidence to remove. It Ii
apparent that the defense will make a hare .
flgbt on technicalities , and will ta-Ue ad
vantage of every loophole. Counsel for th <
prisoner lay traps for the judge , with tin
apparent purpose of leading him Into a wroni
ruling- , which may form the basis of an ap
peal to a higher court.
The number ot well dressed women at tin
trial Increases at every session of the court
Continual efforts are made by girls to llonlzi

POCATELLO , Idaho. July 26. ( Special Tel.
cgnxm. ) The report was brought to Market
Lake , sixty-five miles north of here , tonight
that sixteen families In Jackson's Hole had
been massacred by the Indians. James Pe
terson , a ranchman , brought the news after
n hard ride of over fifty miles. Superintend
ent Hopkins of the St Anthony ditch line told
Peterson that ho got the startling Information
direct from Mr. Ross of the banking firm ot
Gray , Ross & Wyatt of St , Anthony , who
started on a fishing trip last Wednesday with
Thomas Hamcr , county attorney of St. An
thony , General Hamcr , state senator of Il
linois , nnd L. M. Carle of Salt Lake. The
party Intended to go to Jackson's lake , but
were burred out by the hostile Indians , and
j they heard the report that a number ot white
settlers had been killed.
Rlley Howard , a ranchman ot Wllford ,
Idaho , who arrived at Market Lake today ,
says he heard the report both at IJexbarg , on
the direct trail to Jackson's park , and St. An
thony that sixteen entire families In Jack
son's Hole had been killed.
Adjutant General Stltzcr sent a messenger
to the besieged district ear'.y yesterday morn-
Ing. The general says he should be back here
I early Saturday morning to give more detailed
and direct Information.
I The two special trains bearing the four
I troops of colored cavalry from Fort Robinson ,
Neb , have not been able to ketp up with tbu
time scheduled for them yesterday , nnd , In
stead of arriving here this evening , It will be
daylight tomorrow morning before they get
In. It will be well along towards noon to
morrow before the troops reach Market Lake.
Considerable time will necessarily bo con
sumed In getting started on the Journey over
land , and then there are before them 120
miles of travel , the last of the Journey being
over the Teton mountains. This means that
It will at least be Monday night before tha
settlers , If any remain In the Jackson's Hole
valley , receive assistance.
INDIANS SET SIGNAL FIRES.
After a trip to this place to Investi
gate the latest news of the Indian up-
vestlgate the latest now a of the Indian up
rising , a party consisting of half a dozen
young army officers from Fort Omaha , has
decided to abandon a contemplated hunting
trip into tbe mountains as unsafe. They
are now camped at Cokevllle , about 100
miles east of heie , but will not Ventura
fuiher ( north at present.
Mr. Hoyt Sherman , Jr , one of the most
prominent cltl/.ena of Salt Lake , was In tbe
city last night , having left his family at a.
big ranch twenty-five miles north of Soda
Springs. On learning the serious condition
of aflulrs north of them he returned on the
next train to take them home to Salt Lako.
There Is a party of twenty-five Salt L ka
people at the same place , and upon Mr.
Sherman's return this morning they will all
undoubtedly decide to leave that part of the ,
country also.
G. H. Nlckerson , a civil engineer , arrlved-
In Pocatello this morning , having Just coma
from the Big Caribou mine , which I * located
south of the Teton basin , and not far froth
the scene of the present hostilities' .
He said that for many nights
Indian signal fires have been
burning on the highest mountain peaks In
the state. Yesterday the stage met four
Indians driving seventy-five horses toward
this reservation. They said they were re
turning to stay , as there was no hunting ,
but the frontlersmrn saw a very different
Intent behind their Journey. In all the
drove of horses there was not one pack
horse and only one colt There were no
sqaws along and not one rlfie had been
brought from the troublesome district. The
explanation of the move Is that before an
other sun sets these swift ponies will beheaded
headed the o.lier way again and each one
will carry on Indian wnrrlo1- .
RUMORED INDIAN DEPREDATION.
Reports from Market Lake say that
the Rexburg , Idaho piper of today
reports fifty-nine white people killed
by the Bannocks near Jackson's Hole ,
but there Is no way to confirm the. report
and It Is aot believed here. A courier Is ex
pected from the vicinity of Jackson's IIolo
with the latest news. There has been no
news received at Market Lake for five days
of an authentic nature.
Several parties ot tourists are In Pocatello
awaiting the result before making their de
parture for Hie Yellowstone park.
A special to the Times from Market Like ,
Idaho , says : The Indians are camped In
Hoback canon. No Information has been re
ceived and none Is expected before midnight ,
when Sargents will retdrn If iiltve. He went
there last night. It Is the belief usre that
the passes to the Ifolu ate guarded by tha
Indians and that no one has come out from
Jack'on's Hole for several dajs. The troops
will reach here tomorrow and leave at once
for the Hole Many Indians have been golnu
In the direction of tbe trouble , but they
will not talk.
Fifteen Indians and 100 sail ill o horses
passed through Beaver canjon yesterday
. from the Lemhl agency , going In the direc
tion ot the National park , supposedly to join
the Bannocks In their massacre of settlers.
Excitement In Pocatello Is growing hourly.
)
The citizens are agitating the question ot
arming themselves tonight and leaving Imme
diately to rescue the people In Jackson's
Hole. There are several Pocatello people lo
cated there , Including Veteran Tom Ball , and
It Is feared they are among the unfortunates.
