She was Mrs. Carrie Alice Pitezel. With bravery and fortitude she stood the test. in spite of the fact that her physical ocu- dltion has been so shattered by the bet- talion of woes, under which she has all but succumbed. that slap was obliged to interrupt her pitiful narrative at frequent intervals to accept spoonfuls of medicine from the trained nurse who attended her. In a voice broken with grief she told the whole distressing story, and so affecting was the recital that even District Attor- ney Graham, long used to tales of misery and distress, paused in the examination to wipe away a furtive tear. nae Day's Will-la. The first witness of the day was s plump. black eyed woman, Miss Susan Hurley of 1002-4 Rm street. She keeps a boarding house there. She was called to show that Pltezcl had boarded at her house.

Deforest Perry. assistant treasurer of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance com— pany. was called to establish the fact that a policy of insurance had been issued to Pltezel. The policy was taken out in 1898 for $10,000. It was paid Sept. 24. 1894- 88 days after Pltesel's body was found. After the payment of the money the matter was closed until a letter was re ceived by President Folios of the insurance company from Superintendent of Police Herrigan of St. Louis. This contained the declaration of Hedspoth. the train rob her. that while in jail in St. Louis he had overheard Holmes and Pitezel talking of forming a conspiracy to defraud en insur- ance company out of $10,000 by the sub stitution of a corpse for Pitesel.

Mrs. Pitezel said: "I knew Howe through Homes: By his advice I employed Howe and gave him the power of attorney to collect the mon- ey. I don't know who prepared it, but Howo brought it to be signed. I saw in a paper that a man named Perry had been killed by an explosion. but Holmes told me my husband was all right." “In whose care did Alice leave St. Louis?" "In Hovve‘s. She went at iiolmes' sug- gestion to Philadelphia to identify the body because I was sick. I asked flows to take care of Alice. and Holmes said he would. Minnie Williams, Holmes' cousin. he said, would take care of her. and if I grew very sick he would send Bonny to take care of me. I next saw Holmes on Sept. 27. when he came to our house and said he had brought Alice back to Cincin- nati. He said he would take Howard and Nellie to Alice, so she would not be alone. and had made arrangements in Alice to meet them in Indianapolis "I took Nellie and Howard to the depot.

I never saw Howard except what belonged to him in Indianapolis in the coroner’s office." ‘ This ended the examination in chief. In answer to questions from Mr. Rotan the witness said she was married to Pitc- sel in Galvs. Illa, in 1878. She did not know where he and Holmes had first met. She thought it was in 1889. She first met Holmes in the restaurant at Sixty‘third and Wallace streets. Chicago (the castle) when she was with her husband there in 1803. She did not seemuch of Holmes un- til this insurance matter came up. A long line of questions were put to Mrs. Pitezel, many of which were ruled ‘ out on the ground of irrelevance. The cross examination lasted nearly two hours. but developed nothing to controvert her evidence in chief. District Attorney Graham then showed her the crayon portrait of Pltezel. and she said, "Yes. that is augood picture of my husband as he left home." She gave way for her daughter Jean- nette (Dense) whose testimony was large- ly corroborative of that given by her mother concerning the departure of the children and the subsequent travels of Dessa and her mother under Holmes' guidance to the various cities named. Mrs. Pitcsel was recalled, and the dis- trict attorney questioned her further rc- gardlng the stay in Burlington. attempt- ing to show that Holmes had dug a hole in the cellar there. as he had done in every other case where he had rented a house.
