dag-«flaw Aim Wife causes a
Isnaaticm—Jle ls Deeply loved.
Purumruta. Nov. l.-—li'or about so
minutes y the nerve at which all
soon have marveled Iorsoolr Holmes. and
towed and broken he seek his heart into
his hands and subbed like a child. Ilean-
whiie the woman he persists to calling
his wife and upon whom he had pinned
his highest hope set two yards away re-
lating a story that seemingly tightened
the noose about his neck.
For 1 hour and 40 minutes she whisper-
ed to the court crier the words that told
how Pitssel had come to the Eleventh
street house. where they ware stopping.
the night before the murder. and how
Holmes had been away for five hours of
the next day. coming back flushed and
excited and carrying her hurriedly cfl to
Indianapolis. It was the day after this
that the corpse was found in the Gallow-
hIlI street house. At the close of her ex-
amination In chief Holmes asked to con-
duct the cross examination himself. and
standing In a corner of the dock nervously
wringing his hands he put a few ques-
tions. Then he said he would reserve the
right to call her as a witness for the de-
fense. Throughout her testimony Miss
Georgiana Yoke. for so, she calls herself.
never once bestowed a passing glance
upon the man she once had loved. Dur-
ing the greater part of It she kept her blue
eyes riveted on the floor. and when it be-
came necessary to raise them she was
careful to shift them so that the pale.
shrunken felon in the dock should not
come in their path.
The case progressed so swiftly that but
is witnesses remain to be heard before
the closing of the commonwealth's case.
Then the defense will open, and in spite
of Holmes’ statement that he would him.
self testify and also call Miss Yoko his
counsel privately state that the defense
would offer no evidence, but submit the
case on argument alone. And they ex.
pressed supremo confidence in his acquit-
tal. "Their first victory was gained. and
it disappointed those morbid listeners who
had counted on viewing the bones of the
dead boy Howard.
During the day several witnesses were
sworn and mainly gave testimony corrob-
orative of the evidence already unbmitted
by the prosecution.
Holmea' Alleged Wife Testifies.
The most important witness—at least
the one furnishing the sensation of the
day—was the alleged wife of the accused
man. She gave her testimony in a whis-
per. which was Interpreted by the court
crior.
Georgiana Yoke. for so she gave her
name. Is a tall. slender woman of about 25
years. with Ilnxen hair and blue eyes.
She was stylishly attired in black.
For the first time Holmes broke down.
He gazed stemiily at her for afow seconds.
while his hands twitchcd nervously and
his lips opened and closed. but sho care
fully avoided meeting his eyes. Then he
suddenly bent forward over the little desk
in his dock. and the tears began to tilekle
down his checks. He drew his handker~
chief out and for a moment or two sobbcd.
Then, quickly recovering himself. be dried
his eyes and Imwod his head. busily engag-
ing himself with his notes, but still occa-
sionally giving way to n sob.
Tho witness testified that she know the
prisoner as ii. if. Holmes and H. M.
Howard in St. Louis in Juno. Irvin. and
came to Philadelphia with him in August.
1894.
Mr Graham put a scrlos of questions to
fix llolmcs' \vlrcronbout on the day the
murder is supposed to have been commit-
tcd~—Sundoy. Sept :3. 1894.
“I was In my room on the evening of
Saturday. Sept. 1. I had been Iii. part of
the time In bod. Tire prisoner was at
homo. Some one called during the oven-
lng to see him. and he Wont down stairs.
When he came up. be sold it was a mos-
sengcr from the Pennsylvania railroad.
and he was to see officials of the cmnpnny
at the Inmcngor's house next morning to
close out contracts for copying. After-
ward he said tho caller was If. F. Pitc-
xel. This was the day before we left Phil-
adelphia. "
“Was hc at home the next day?"
“Part of the day. He Went out at about
half past Ill in the morning and came
been between :i and 4 In the afternoon.
He said he had been at Nicotovvn. a sub-
urb of Philadelphia. He had before men—
tioned going away. and said we would go
home to Indianapolis. We wore known
here by the name of Howard."
The witness testified regarding her sub.
sequent wanderings with Holmes and his
final arrest In Boston.
Another sensation was furnished when
Holmes rose to cross question the woman
whom he calls his wife.
She testified to
nothing new, hovrcvor, and the court took
Amuse.
Mrs. l'lteael Recalled.
When the court reconvened. Mrs. Pite«
sol was recalled and identified a necktie.
a piece of shirt and a portion of a pair of
trousers which had belonged to her hus-
band.
The daugbtcr Doses also identified them
and pictures of Howard. Nollie and Alicc.
Coroner‘s Physician Hidcbothant testi-
fiod that ho had procured those articles
of clothing from the body of Benjamin F.
Pitczel when it was exhumed from tho
Mechanic's ccmctcry bydircctlon of the
commonwealth.
William F. issuer, ecrgoant of police.
was one of the policemen called into the
Cailowhlli street house. He identified
Pitcsel's picture as thodcrrd man found
lying on the floor.
Detective Thomas G. Crawford, who
was sent to Boston to bring ilolmcs here.
said he also brought his papers and effects
In two tin lxrxes.
Detective Frank P. Guyor, who traced
Hoimes’ mo'mrents throughout the coun-
try. Identified o number of papers taken
from these boxes. They Were the letters
written by the children to their mother
and never mailed by Holmes.
Detective chcr said he had an inter.
view with Holmes In the cellrecm of the
city hall on Nov. so. 1894, about the body
found In the Callowblll street house.
Holmes said to him that it was not Pitc-
sel's body. but a substitute. "He told me
he left. he Eleventh street house on tion.

before he, and, lures swindled an lifebo-
aucs compare out of up, 000. Besides
the accent wan prosperous man of fam-
ily. II. would only give his name in the
event of being brought up for murder.
Be said he had told Pitcsel how to pre-
pare the substituted body—~to place it on
the door. with the arm on the breast. put
the liquidrin the mouth and set fire to it.
The liquid had been used for cleaning
clothes. He also told him how toforce
the liquid into the stomach by working
the arms. He said Pitcsci had told him
that after he left the Callowhill street
house hooves walking through the city
hall and throw away the but he had been
wearing and put on a silk one.
(layer lees Holmes In Prison.
"A few days before his arraignment for
conspiracy. to which he pleaded guilty, I
saw him In the csllroom. and he said the
story he had told me about the substitu-
tion of a body was not true. and that the
corpse found in the house was that of
Pitezel. I said, ‘Well. Holmes. If that's
the case. then you murdered Pitczel and
the children.’ He said: ‘Nc, I didn’t.
When I left the Eleventh street house at
if o’clock on Sunday morning, Sept. ii, I
took the Tenth street car and went to the
Callowhlll, street house. I opened the
door with a key I had. and not finding
Pitesei there I went up stairs. 0n the
third floor I found him. He was lying on
the floor. his arms across his breast and a
cloth over his face. Near by there was a
bottle of chloroform. with a thin hose in
it so placed that the drops of chloroform
would fall on the cloth. I put my head
to his heart and found that he was dead.
Then I went down stalrsund found a note
telling me to look inside a bottle in the
closet. I did so and found a note in it.
In which Pltczel said I should take his
body and do just what I had wanted him
to ”do with the substitute corpse. I went
up stairs again and dragged his body down
to the second floor. where it was found,
placing the broken bottle and the pipe in
position and burning the face just as I
had told him to do.’ " -
Gsycr further testified regarding the
statements of Holmes as to the where-
about of the I’ltozei children.
District Attorney Graham offered to
prove the finding of the bones of Howard
Pitczel in the housein Irvington. asuburb
of Indianapolis. and the bodies of the girls
in the collar of the house at ti St. Vincent
street. Tomato.
The defense objected. and the jury were
taken to their room, while a lengthy argu-
ment on the admissibility of tho testimo-
ny was made on both sides.
District Attorney Graham contended
that the murder of the children was so in-
timately connected with the killing of
their father that It was part of the same
transaction. and that it was Holmes' pur~
pose to exterminate the entire family. in-
cluding Mrs. Pitczol. Dcssa and the baby.
Killing of Piteael Children Immaterial.
Judge Arnold caused a mild sensation
by duckling that the killing of the chil-
dren had no connection with the trial of
Holmes for the murder of the father. and
that no such cvidoncecouid be introduced.
This was the first turn in favor of
Holmes eincctho beginning of the trial

Mr. Graham here said that with the
exception of two or three witnesses the
commonwealth was ready to close. and It
would perhaps be better to go on in the
morning.
The court then adjourned until 10 a. in.
today.
