After fighting tooth and nail single band- ed against the tremendous machinery of the commonwealth and the apparently complete chain of evidence which has been forged around him. Holmes last night threw up his hands and sent for his law- yers, blesses. Bhoemakerend Betas. Then he told the court what he had done, .11va a reluctant consent to their continuing with the defense was given. There was an impression that thii was but another piece of byplay following Bolmes' per- sonal failure to catch the sympathy of the court and Jury by making himself out a much wronged men. forced to light alone what may prove to be his last battle in spite of his ignorance of the technicalities of the law and his alleged physical infirm- y. The big work of the trial—taking testi- mony—was begun at 10 a. m., and with the exception of brief inter-missions at lunch and supper time was continudd un- til nearly 9 o’clock at night. The star witnesses of the trial—Mrs. Pltezei, Detective Geysr, Agent Perry of the swindled insurance company and the alleged arch criminal himself—yet remain to be heard, as also nearly two score of others. District Attorney Graham re- marked that there was a likelihood of the trial outrivaling the Durant case in point of time, but that if night sessions were held regularly it might beconcluded with- in a month or less. Holmes made a plea asking the court to bold but two sessions a day. in plaintive tones he said that his physical condition was such tbstbhs felt unable to continue the cross examination of the witnesses, and besides hewas sub- ject to sick headaches. Judge Arnold in- sisted, however, on holding an extra scs~ sion last night. Facing the motor. of His Alleged Victim. All day, as Holmes sat in the deck, the eyes of the man he is charged with mur- dering gazed at him from a large crayon portrait placed upright on the district at- teh'nsy's desk in full view of the entire court. Next to this was an equally large sized picture of the daughter Alice, whose death is also laid on his shoulders. But Holmes did not seem to be affected. His etclld demeanor never deserted him for an instant. The announcement that the taking of evidence Would begin drew a still larger crowd to the city ball, but the admirable police arrangements kept everybody out of the courtroom except attorneys and those concerned in the case. The interest manifested in the case is not confined to one class. During the day Judge Arnold had no less than eight vis- itors—all judges from this and other cities in the state. Besides, the head of every municipal department was noticed in the room at different times, including the mayor. The first witness called was Jeannette Pitezol, one of the children of the dead man, who escaped the fate of the bigger part of the family. She was a slim girl, with rather dull features and by no means pretty. She was attired for the (Inclusion and criuscious of it. Miss Pitozel was kept on the stand long enough to identify a crayon portrait of her father as presenting an excellent like. noes of him as he appeared two years ago. Holmes cross oxnminod her for a mo- mentas to whether there hadn't been a change in the appearance of her father, occasioned by tho removal of his board. b‘ho said her father had had a small goateo at one time. llolmes' Photographs Identified. John Townsend, a photographer om- ploycd in the detective service, and Wil- liam ll. Run. a private photographer, then identified photographs of Holmes taken by them after his arrest. Eugene Smith, who found Pitezol's body in the Cailowhill street house on Sept. 4, 1894, then told a detailed story of his discovery, which has been already fully . published. He had become acquainted with the dead man on Aug. 23, 1894, through business concerning patents which Pitescl was supposed to have held. He saw him several times during the fol- ‘ lowing week. The witness drew a packet of papers from his pmket when he came to the dates. Holmes objected to his ro- ferring to them unless they wore in his own handwriting. Smith admitted that the papers had been "prepared, " and the court sustained the objection. Smith said that during his first visit to Pitczol, Holmes conic in and went up- rtaira. A moment later Pifczcl excused himself and followed. He returned short- ly. The witness was present when the corpse of Pitczcl was exhumed from the pottor's «field and was there iirat introduced to Holmes. Lawyer How" of fit. lioula. Alloc Pltcsoi, the young daughter, and the insurance oilloors were there. The body was recognized by tho witness as Plterei's. Holmes offered the to have the corpse cremated and asked llowo shout it. The lawyer nnswored that the widow would first have to be consulted. Dr. Scott was called and told his story. which concerned his having been called in to examine Pitosol's body. after its discovery.

This is only more bypley.” "That is your opinion," said Holmes, with the scarce subdued scorn which has marked all his intercourse with the dis trict attorney since the trial began. ”That is my opinion.” Holmes suppressed a sigh and sat down, , and the district attorney embed slightly, with the thought which he has made evi- dent throughout that Holmes is playing the role of a weak, helpless unfortunate, oppressed and crushed by the mighty ma- chinery of the state, in order to get the sympathy of the jury. Testimony of Coroner’s Physician. Dr. Mattorn's examination was then begun. ‘ The witness said he had made the post mortem examination at the morgue on Sept. 4, and the conditions were the some as described by Dr. Scott. There had been paralysis of the heart, causing and don death, and evidence of chloroform in the stomach. He dilated - on the ghastly scene at the potter‘s field, when, in the presence of a half dozen other persons, in- eluding the oilicsrs of the swindlod insur- ’r ancc company and the young daughter of the dead man, Holmes took a lancct and coldly and ruthlessly cut and backed ofl portions of the corpse of the man he is charged with having murdered. The girl Alice had then ,posltlvcly identified the body, and Holmes himself, the witness said, did not hesitate to declare that it was Pitezel's body. ‘ Holmes begun the cross examination of Dr. Mattcrn by requesting him to read his notes of the result of the autopsy in their entirety, This was permitted, and after it had been done the physician was put under a long series of technical ques- tions. touching the yiossiblo cause of death, the chest of chloroform poisoning and kindred subjects. The doctor unqual- iiledly declared that death had been caused by chloroform poisoning. Dr. Henry Lampoon, the well known analytical chemist, was the next witness. ’ He sold it was impossible for a man to fix himself in an attitude as reposeful as that in which Pltezel’s body was discovered after having administered chloroform to himself. Holmes merely asked a few questions ' on cross examination. but reserved the right to call Dr. Lcifrnann as a witness for the defense after his (Holmes’) tostl' runny had been taken. . Coroner Samuel ll. Ashhridge produced two affidavits identifying the body of Pltczcl, made respectively by Alice Pits: sol and Holmes. They ware read to -thc jury and offered in evidence. llolmes Asks For Ilia Attorneys. The evening session began a few mo- ments after 7 o'clock. 'l‘ho taking of tea- timony was about to be resumed when Holmes, who could probably be more apt- ly called the “arch actor" than anything also, brought out u new piece of liyplny. Ho arose in the dock, and addressing the court said: “if your honor please. I have a request to make. in consequence of the severe physical strain to which I have been subjected and also because of the criticism leveled against my former counsel, lilossrs. Shrmrnnkor and Rotten, I . have within the past half hour sent for thorn and asked them to again assume chorgoof my defense. I should like to ask ii the court will permit this?" “Let thorn come in. " sold the judge. A moment. later the two counsellors. looking pole and worried, entered the courtroom. and Mr. liotan, going up to the bar, was about to enter upon a lengthy explanation when Judge Arnold curtly interrupted with: "No apology is neces- sary. Go on with the cum." y The dock. with its occupant. was then i niovod back to its former place, and iloimcs' counsel took scouts ot the desk. William Moeblns and Frederick Rich- ards, saloon keepers, testified as to Pitc- scl's drinking habits. . Mrs. Adoin Alcoru. a physician who! lives on Eleventh street, was called. ' Holmes had been at her house from Aug. 6 to Sept. El, lflill. under the name of Howell. He had hired rooms there. The witness was not sure that his wife was with him, but he brought her later. He said she was very tired, as she had come from Chicago, and he would rather have her at the house than at a hotel. The wit- nose again saw him on the afternoon of Sept. iii in her parlor. lie wont out and came back in the evening. He said his wife and little sister would be there later; that they" were then in Atlantic City. Holmes told her he was himself going there Saturday and would bring them back with hiru the following Monday for the winter. (in the 10th a man called to see Holmes, or lloWull. as he was there known, and was shown to his room, uc~ mnllug to instructions. She identified Pltezol's picture as that of the caller.

Oct. lid—Thelatssi moves made on the pugiiistle checker board are of, greater interest than has do velopcd it " any time since Hot Springs was selected as a battleground by the managers of the blg‘iight. As the time for the meeting of the two gladiators had drawn so near that nothing short of strut tigers and extreme measures would pre- vent it Governor Clark and Attorney Gen eral Kinsworthy put their heads together and decided tomes both by virtually “kid- naping" Fitzaimmons before he reached Hot Springs and carrying him to Little Rock, where he would be so tlsllliy bound by bonds to keep the peace that he would be glad to get out of the state without ever seeing Corbett. Their plans have been thwarted at every move, bowaver. Corbett, Brady, Joe Vendlg and Score— tary Wheolock of the Florida Athletic club 5 are all under arrest here and in the hands of the local authorities; hence the attor- ney general cannot get service on them now and take them from this county for trial, as he contemplated doing. He was too slow. He ”tipped" his hand when he was here and lost his game. Officers from this county armed with warrants for Ju~ lion's and Fitzsimrnons’ arrest are now doubtless with that twain somewhere in Texas piloting them toward Arkansas. As soon as the train crosses the line into Arkansas the warrants will be served upon them, and they will be prisoners of Garland county officers, and when Govern- or Clark's sherld at Texarkana proceeds to serve his papers he will 'flnd that his warrants are no good. The arrest of Brady, Vendig ct al. by the local authorities was simply for the purpose of forestalilng the move made by the attorney general and prevent the re moval of the men from this city to "show cause why they should not give bond to keep the peace.” The governor has been tripped, and the only thing that remains now for him to do to stop the fight is by military interference, and lets not believ- ed he will do that, as he is somewhat handicapped on that score. The only thing that will prevent the fight now, it seems, is the failure of Fltzsimmons to get here and make satisfactory his stake money, which, it is said, he will do if he gets here, and he can get here if he wants to come. All Depends on l'itlainsmons. Everything now depends on Fitzsim- mons’ getting here. He is expected to ar- rive today in charge of Sheriff Houpt un- less a serious clash of authority should ; occur between the officers who are after him—~thuso holding the warrants issued at Little Rock and the sherifl of this county. But it will very likely result in the first officer getting service holding the prisoner. That the fight will take place between now and Nov. 2 seems to be a certainty. - The main interest centers in the move- ment to get Fltzslmmons here. lie left San Antonio yesterday. and unless inter- cepted and detained he will arrive here this evening. There is some uneasiness, for fear the governor may yet capture him. There is liable to be a clash of au- thority when the sheriff of Miller county attempts to take Fifzslmmons on the war- rant. in his possession in the event that he has been taken in row by Sheriff floupt of this county. it is given out that the light would not take place on Nov. 1, as previously an- nounced, but on some day next week, to be agreed upon and named after the or- rival of Fitzslmmons and Julian. A large circus tout has been secured for the occasion. which can be put up in two hours, and will accommodate 15,000 peo- pie. The feeling is that the fight will surely take place if h‘ifzsimmons arrives, as the govcrnor's only chance of preventing it is to prevent Fltzsimmons from getting here. As Viewed From Little Book. LITTLE ltocu, Oct. fro—Governor Clark was notified by the Texas authorities that Fitzsimmons and Julian had left Corpus Christi. Deputy Sheriff Heard of this county is still at that point. however, to assist the sheriff of Miller county in making the or- rests. A story comes from Toxarkana that arrangements have been made by which Julian and Fitzsimmons will leave the train at the first station beyond Tex~ arkana and come overland by hack to a point this side, and that a similar plan will be adopted in pressing Malvern Junction, but this moms improbable. Sheriff Houpt and a deputy from Gor- iand musty are also after Fltzsinwions. These officers. as stated, intend to take the pugilist to llot Springs and carry him before a moglstrato and ask for a peace bond. A large number of newspaper men have passed through horn on route to Hot Hprings, and ovary south bound train is loaded to tire'srlm with sporting men, all bound for the exported scene of the battle. , it developer] that the agents of the club are selling tickets here for the light. They an acting on Instructions received in cipher telegrams and are said to have sold 700 tickets in Little Rock up to the pres- ent time. Other regents are working all the larger cities in the country. Governor (.liark expressed no surprise when lnforniod that corbott had been ar- rested at Hot springs. This arrest was made. he said, in order to prevent the serving of a warrant from Newton county in accrirdancc with the governor's scheme. The governor said that Corbett would be liberated on the charge some time today, and then his warrant would be served. mole recess Back llay Residents.
