CORA QUIJ^ IS ALIVE One Murder at Least of Which Holmes Is Guiltless. HIS OOHFEDEEATES OH THE EAOE:. Lawyer Shoemaker Declares That Holmes Has No rurther Gonfe.ssions tcHMake, and That He Is Guilty of Nothing hut Insur ance Swindles. C hicago , July 27 .—Holmes is at least guiltless of the murder of little 11-year- old Cora Quinlan, whatever his other crimes may be. Cora is the daughter of Patrick Quinlan, one of Holmes’ hench men, and the police feared for her safety. The following telegram, which sets at rest the entire matter, was received by Inspect or Fitzpatrick from Lakota, Mich.: “ Cora Quinlan is at Johnson’s and has been for about two weekf. ’ ’ Mrs. Quinlan, who has all along main tained an air of crafty reserve, was forced to admit that she had lied to the officers on at least one point, and this had the ef fect of weakening her considerably. Her husband also spent a large part of the day in the “ sweatbox, ” and as a result of the day’s development Chief Badenoch decid ed to hold them for trial on the charge of being implicated in various insurance swindles. He also believes they are guilty of the crime of assisting Holmes, if not directly, at least indirectly, in making away with some of his victims. Joe Owens was brought in to refute one of Mrs. Quinlan’s statements, and he told her flatly that she had lied. Owens will probably be released today. Mrs. Quinlan was forced to admit during the course of the examination that she had impersonat ed a dead ■woman, representing herself as the beneficiary of an instnance policy in order to gain the money which went into Holmes’ pocket. ECoiine.s’ C o u n sel T a lks. P h i l a d e l p h i a , July 37.—Lawyer Wil liam A. Shoemaker, who represents H. H. Holmes, has made a suggestion. ‘ ‘ Did it ever occur to you, ’ ’ he asked a reiiorter, “that the Minnie Williams who was mur dered by Theodore Durant in San Fran cisco last April was about the same age as the Minnie Williams of this case—that she was not kn<-*wn in that city and had no relatives? Who knows but that the Frisco Minnie might be the missing girl? It is true that when the Williams girl left Holmes she said she was going to Europe, but there is no positive knowledge even to him that she did go.” Mr. Shoemaker was shown the story from Chicago to the effect that .Janitor Quinlan was implicated in the case almost as deeply as the arch conspirator; that Quinlan had kept a woman whose first name was Lizzie in the “ castle,” and who had a sister working in the restaurant in the building; that a child was born and mysteriously disappeared, and that Quin lan’s wife suddenly appearing on the scene, the girl Lizzie was hurried away and is now thought to be in Omaha. The story said besides that under instructions from Hobnes in this city Quinlan had de stroyed all of the letters, papers, clothing and other articles which might aid the authorities in tracing his career, and that a confession was expected from Holmes involving Quinlan. Mr. Shoemaker declared that the story was entirely new to him. So far as send ing instructions to Quinlan was concerned, he said, Holmes, while in the city hall here, had been permitted to send and re ceive mail, but since his confinement in prison he cannot do so without the sanc tion of the prison officials, who read all letters. “The public mind had better be dis abused of the idea that Holmes will make a confession,” continued the attorney. “He has told all he has to tell and has nothing more to confess. He feels confi dent that he cannot be convicted of mur der, and just as confident that when the time comes it will be proved that the bod ies found were used in insurance schemes only. The Chicago people have no case at all and have merely been cutting a ridicu lous figure before the public. “ I know nothing of Holmes being tried here. The first official notice I could get would be an indictment, and so far as I know no steps in that direction have been taken. ’ ’ H o lm e s N o t Broken Dortm. District Attorney Graham also said that no decision had been reached regarding the place of trial. “ The only diary I know of,” Mr. Shoe maker went on, “ is in Holmes’ possession. It was kept by his wife, Mrs. Howard, in her own handwriting, and she is mistaken when she say.s that 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 single night. “There is absolutely no truth in the story that Holmes in broken down. He is in very good spirits and is busy at present settling np his business affairs—turning his real estate ihto cash. Two weeks ago George B. Chamberlain, a Chicago lawyer, spent several flours here on behalf of par ties in that city who desire to ptu’chase. ‘ ‘ These prox)erties consist of farmlands, town lots and other properties in various parts of the country. He controls the ‘cas tle’ block in Chicago, besides the $40,000 property in Fort Worth, Tex. I saw this block last fall when I was down there on this case. Holmes built this block, he having obtained the ground by a trade of a Chicago property with Minnie Williams, who had inherited it from her father. “Holmes did know a Miss or Mrs. Con nor in Chicago—I don’t know which, be cause I never talked with him much about this. Quinlan, I think, was janitor in the ‘castle’ pretty much all the time Holmes was there. Quinlan’s wife lived there in winter and went to a farm in srimmer. “Holmes is anxious that Quinlan as well as everybody else should tell the truth in the case and conceal nothing. Wo ex pect Mrs. Hoivard to testify to the truth regardles.s 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 ho desires everybody to tell the truth.” “ Is he setting the example?” wasa.sked. “ Well, I have never known him to de ceive me in anything. He thinks, and so do I, that a true statement of all tho facts at the trial will be of great assistance in pronng his innocence.” 3tlimie 'Vl'illiamfj’ Life In Denver. D enver , July 37 —Tho unfortunate Minnie Williuttis and her sister, Whom Holmes is ace used of having murdered, came to I).*uvo;* early in 1893 with their brother, who was in poor health. They took rooms at the Devonshire, an apart ment hodso lit 1425 Logan avenue, and soon became very popular with tho other guests. Minnie was about 35 or 26 years of age, and besides being apparently well educated was an accomplished elocution ist. She studied elocution in Boston. She appeared for three weeks on the stage of the old Fifteenth Street theater as a member of a stock company. Those who knew her affirm that her feeling for Holmes, whom she knew as Harry Gordon at that time, whatever it was, was no headlong infatuation for a romantic hero. The brother died in the latter part of the winter, and the sisters took the body home to Texas. The impression prevails among those here who knew the girl that she met Holmes in Chicago. He appeared in Denver some time afte'r the World’s fair and told various friends of the girl that she had married and had gone to India with her husband. Whether this was before or after the murder of the girl cannot be learned. MONEY piling UP. Bsiglisli Capitalists Are at a Loss to Find Safe Investments. L ondon , July 37. — The Times this morning has a leader commenting upon the enormous increase of private deposits in the Bank of England, and says: “ This indicates that the money former ly put into foreign investments has been kept in hand. Good authorities estimate that up to 1893 English capitalists w e r e accustomed to invest £30,000,000 yearly in America, chiefly in railroad stocks. If this estimate errs, it is on the side of modera tion. But for the uneasiness induced by the American monetary system undoubt edly much would be reinvested in Amer ica, now that business is perceptibly im proving there, but the defects of the sys te m S till rem a in , a n d cautious p e o p le w i l l refrain until they are rem e d ied . The posi tive rush, both in England and in Eu rope, to lend money to China proves tha d e s ire for good in v e s t m e n t s . ” The Daily News also editorially com ments upon the accumulation of money in the London market, and says: “ The most hopeful outlook for trade is ini connection with the opening of China to further development. The markets oi South Africa and the prospect of improve ment in America are also questions of in terest, for it is certain that we must look beyoud our shores for a stimulus to any noteworthy industrial revival. ’ ’ CAPTURED BY TRAMPS. A Gang of Hoboes Seize a Train and Take F u ll Possession. W ilmington , Del., July 37.-—A gang of 35 tramps boarded, a ffiw miles from Philadelphia, a train that left that place over the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railway. When the train, which was a freight, stopped at Gray’s Ferry, the tramps swarmed into the cab of the en gine and compelled the engineer to go on. They then attacked the crew with clubs, coupling pins and other weapons, and drove them to the rear end of the train, after which they assumed complete con trol. Meanwhile the police of this city had been notified, and when the train reached here 36 of the tramps were arrest ed and locked np on a charge of trespass. MISS ANTHONY FAINTED. Heat and Not Paralysis Caused Her Tempo rary Illness. C incinnati , July 37’.— A special from Lakeside says: The story that Miss Susan B. Anthony was stricken by paralysis here Friday is wholly false. The fact is that after her address she was overcome with heat and had a short fainting spell. Last night she was able to be about, and today she will take a train for the east. S andusky , O., July 37.—Upon taking her seat after delivering an address at the Lakeside assembly yesterday afternoon Susan B. Anthony was seized with a f ainting fit. She quickly recovered and to day is in good health and spirits. Her ef forts on the platform and the heat were alone the cause of her temporary illness. BASEBALL. NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES.

C hicago , July 37.—City Collector Mata has found an old ordinance ■which has never been enforced, and which he thinks could be used to compel the banks to sup port the city government. This ordinance requires payment of license fees to the city for the privilege of doing business, by “ banks, brokers, commission merchants, grain and produce dealers, real estate and insurance agents.” TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.

Richard Vaux’s WilL P hiladelphia , July 37.—It has been generally supposed that Richard Vaux, ex congressman, ex-mayor and distinguished jurist, who died last March, left no will, bub such a document has been found. Aft er making a number of minor bequests it leaves the residue of the estate, which is valued at about $150,000, to the widow. The document concludes with the words: ‘ ‘ I direct that no inventory be made of my estate. It is nobody’s business but those who are interested in it.” To Teach Policemen to Shoot. N ew Y oke , July 37.—The police are to be taught to use their pistols. Oommfs- sioner Andrews said at the board paeeting today that he had been considering the necessity for pistol instruction and prac tice for some time.
