A R e p o r t Comes F rom Chicago T h a t Fite- zel Is Still A live—T h ree M en D e c lare T h a t They H a v e Seen H im Since His R e p o r ted M u rder. P h il a d e l p h ia , N ov . 19. — The evil spirit th a t presides over the destinies of H. H. Holmes, styled the king of m u rder ers, who eventually destroys all who ally themselves w ith him, has found another victim. William A. Shoemaker, the young at torney, whose first association w ith the case is obscured in the mystery which en velops its every detail, passed through an ordeal as severe as any his client h as been called to face, and the crisis came when he was held under $1,500 bail to answer a charge of subornation of perjury. This means th a t he m a n u factured evidence tending to prove th a t Benjam in F. Pite- zel, of whose m u rder Holmes was convict ed two weeks ago, committed suicide, and th a t he (Shoemaker) paid a woman $20 to sign and swear to this. B u t the common wealth had supplied the woman, although Shoemaker was ignorant of this, and after he had produced this im p o rtant “ a fter discovered evidence” and read it w ith great empressement to the court he asked th a t the argum e n t on the motion for a new trial be postponed, to give him and his associate counsel, Samuel P. Botan, tim e to r u n out this and other clews re cently obtained Then it was th a t Dis trict A ttorney Graham arose and exposed the plot. His declaration came like a thunderbolt. The court stared in wide eyed am a z e m e n t; t h e spectators t u r n e d in their chairs and gasped; the accused law yer sank back in his seat, livid and trem- ‘ ulous, but the prisoner in the dock rested his cold blue eyes on the shrinking figure of his legal representative and smiled w ith scorn. D e ta ils of th e Charge. Briefly told, the details of the charge are these; The trial for the Pitezel m u rder was not two days old when Shoemaker ap proached a private detective nam ed John Schw e ichler an d asked him. to procure a woman who lived around Twelfth or T h irteenth and Callowhill or Vine streets who would swear to certain facts in con nection with the finding of Pitezel’s body at 1316 C a llow h ill street. Schweichler as sented, b u t in s tead of stra ig h t w a y g e tt i n g the woman he told his story to Detective Geyer. Geyer submitted it to District At torney Graham, and a most skillful trap was prepared. U n der instructions Geyer w ent to Mrs. M argaret Reah, m a tron in the Fourth district police station, and she, under the nam e of Blanche A. H annigan, was taken to Shoemaker by Schweichler. M eantime Shoemaker had prepared an affidavit s tat ing th a t the deponent had known Pitezel, and th a t to her he had intim a ted his in tention df c o m m itting suicide. Mrs. Han- nigan readily signed this, and Shoemaker gave her two $10 hills for so doing. On each bill she m a rked the initials “ B. A. H ,,” and she exhibited them in court. Shoemaker w alked into the trap blind folded. When he read the affidaivt to the court, he declared th a t its contents had been dictated to him by the woman. A mom ent afterw a rd irrefutable testim o ny was produced showing th a t he had him self made up the affidavit and dictated it to a stenographer before he had even asked Schweichler to procure a woman to sign it, and th a t Ife had not so much as read or explained its purport to Mrs. Han- Judge Arnold, who was upon the bench during the trial, had called in Judges Thayer and Wilson to hear and decide w ith him on the m e rits of the argum ents for a new trial. As the strange revela tions came the three judges did not hesi tate by their bearing and words to m a n i fest their sense of the gravity of the ac cused lawyer’s situation. Judge Arnold afterward privately stated th a t disbar m e n t proceedings would be considered after the disposition of the pending charge against Shoemaker. S lioem a k e r W a s Stunned. Shoemaker was stunned and shocked beyond measure, but said this was not the tim e for him. to talk. Rotan, his asso ciate, expressed his confidence in his col league’s final exoneration, but he a d m it ted that the evidence of his guilt was overwhelming. Rotan him self was un smirched. The witnesses, the district a t torney and the court were careful to make th a t clear, and the young barrister, who has fought practically single handed a battle against tremendous odds w ith some skill and much fortitude, was visibly affected. A t the oonolusion of the a rgum e n t on the motion for a new trial Judge Thayer, speaking for the court, said they would give the case their gravest consideration. Then, turning to Mr. Shoemaker, the judge said: “ I regret th a t I now have a very disagreeable duty to perform toward you, a member of this bar and an attorney of this court. In view of the developments and the testim o n y of the witnesses whom you have heard concerning the use you attem p ted to make of the affidavit you procured, the court feel i t to be their duty, no other path being left open, to hold you in $1,500 ball to answer the charge of subornation of perjury and in default of bail to stand com m itted.” .fiT-.,., ’' Tt-, vour honor, ” oaki tl'o uccustu attorney. Court was then adjourned, and bail was entered at the side bar, Milton Jack- son, Shoemaker’s father-in-law, becoming the bondsman. Judge A rnold stated pri vately that the court was contem p lating disbarm ent proceedings, but nothing would be done in thac regard u n til a fter the disposition of the charge. Fitezel Said to Be Alive. C hicago , N ov . 19.—A local paper pub lishes the following story; Jam e s McNeary,. conductor on car 676 »f the Sixty-third street electric line, has sprung a new sensation in the Holmes case by s tating th a t Benja-min i>\ Pitezel is alive, and th a t he recently talkwl with ■him on his car. Mr. McJNCary claims there could' be no m istake, as he worked nine m o n ths for Pitezel a n d knows the peculiarities of his voice. According to MoNeary, Pitezel boarded his car a few days previous to Holmes’ trial. P itezel’g beard had grown around the greater part of h is face, so that he was completely disguised. When ad dressed, however, he adm itted his identity and asked as a friend that AIcNeary keep silent, as he was on his way to Philadel phia, b u t )HcNeary called in Motorman Letterm an, and he, too, claims that he had a conversation w ith Pitezel, who took a transfer to the Cottage Grove line. Mr. Robert Corbett, who has been fol lowing the case for months in behalf of the Farm e rs and M echanic’s N ational bank of F o rt Worth, Tex., claims th a t he has also seen Pitezel. “ I never believed th a t Pitezel was dead,” he declared to a reporter, “ for the following reasons: “ F irst, when I was searching the castle m onths ago, the man who resembles the man seen by the conductor and motorman . and who I then thought was P itezel found j me in the building looking over s»me pa- j pers. He asked me if I had seen a tool- j chest. I told him there was one in the front room. He said that one was not his; th a t he had left it in the room where I was engaged. I asked him who he was. He said Mrs, Pitezel sent him there for the toolchest, and when I asked him his nam e he said, after thinking a moment, ‘A n d rew s,’ and left. “ S aturday I learned that Mrs. Pitezel was stopping at 6233 May street w ith Mr. Hayward and sent over to ask her if she ever sent for the toolchest. Both she and her daughter Dessa declared they h ad not, and I also discovered th a t Mrs. Pitezel is wavering in her belief in the identification of Pitezel and begins to hope th a t the chil dren are living, but for her husband she does n o t care whether he is living or dead.- “ I believe that if Holmes is not granted a new trial Pitezel will declare himself to the governor of Pennsylvania when all ither means are exhausted.’ T rying to B e a t t h e H erreshoff*.
