fiitri VOL.'IX THE DALLES, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23. 1896 NO. 13 HOLMES IS INNOCENT The Claim Advanced by a Detective. HE SAYS PITZEL IS STILL ALIVE OTHER BEPOKTED VICTIMS ALIVE Be Claims to Rare Fall Proof of Bis Assertions Nannie Williams Was Killed by Ber ., " Sister. Chicago, Jan. 22. A local paper says : If the story told by Robert Corbett, a private detective who has been in this city for a few weeks working on the Holmes case, is true, H. H. Holmes is not guilty of committing a single murder in Chicago. Tne Pitzel murder case is now pend ing in the Biipreme court of Pennsylva nia, and will come up for a hearing with in a few days, and the defense is making a determined effort to secure the re versal of the finding of the jury and lower court on technical grounds. If these fail, then the information gath ered by the defense will be restored to, and it is expected that they will be able to prove beyond a doubt that the alleged victim, Benjamin Pitzel, is alive and living within a radius of 100 miles of the city of Chicago, at the present time. Corbett, who has been running down the various stories charging Holmes with murder in Chicago, claims to have evidence showing that H. H. Holmes did not commit a single murder in the of Chicago, and that Holmes' confession regarding the dearti of Nannie Williams is substantially correct. The girl was beyond a doubt, killed on July 6, at the flat occupied by Holmes -and Minnie Williams, at 1220 Wright wood ayenue. The body was taken to the Castle and burned. The skull found by the police at the Castle was that of Nannie Williams, aB the mark and frac tures show. Corbett also makes the following state ment: "That Minnie Williams is alive and has been seen on streets of this city within the past two weeks; that Eniiline Cigrande is alive and is now living in Iowa; that Julia Connors and her daughter Pearl are alive and at present living in Michigan, and that Holmes will be able to prove a complete alibi in regard to the murder of Howard Pitzel. "Holmes waB a peculiar man, and his relations witft various young women was the cause of his present predicament" the' pacific cousiy bar. Steps Taken by it to Prevent Oregon Lawyers Practicing; In the District. South Bend, Jan. 22. The Pacific county bar has taken steps to prevent Oregon lawyers from practicing in the su perior court in this district, which com prises Pacific, Wahkiakum and Lewis counties. The last legislature passed a law allowing only those lawyers from other states to pratice in Washington courts whose states granted the same privileges to Washington lawyers. It appears that Oregon laws do not permit lawyers resident in this state to practice there. Astoria lawyers particularly have a large number of clients in this and Wahkiakum counties, and the enforce- , ment of the law will affect their business seriously. There is no market here for steel heads at present. Sturgeon, however brings 4 cents per pound at Nahcotta dock.; The Result of Disease. San' Joss, Jan. 23.

Two hundred tourists, who had booked to visit Turkey and the east on a special excursion aboard the French liner La Touraine, scheduled to sail from New York, Feb ruary 4, were notified today that the trip is off : The acute condition of affairs in Tur key and the uncertainty of affording ade quate protection to . travelers in the domain of the sultan, caused the aband onment of the tour.
