out of their houses into the streets in
multitudes to escape the impending de-
struction of their homes. as they feared.
The buildings horned were filled with
sweatshopaand several watchmen and oth-
ers slept there. How many cannot be told
as yet. Two of these were Dirsohaucr,
who died in Gouvcrneur hospital. and
Samuel Isohowits. janitor of No. 7. who
jumped from windows to save them-
selves. Ischowltz is still in the hospital,
with both legs broken.
Removing the Charred Bodies.
After the flames had been extinguished.
because there was little more to burn. a
search was begun for the dead, for it was
believed that many might be in the ruins.
The first body, a totally unrecognizable
mass of charred flesh and bones, found
in the doorway of No. 7, was so burned
that it was at first supposed to have been
a Newfoundland dog which was kept
about the place. but a doctor from (louver-
neur hospital declared ltto be the remains
of a man.
A. second body was discovered on the
third floor of No. 7. This, too, was prac-
tically unrecognizable. but was identified
as that of Jacob Shapiro by relatives. Lat-
er still another charred form. of immense
stature. was found. This proved to he the
remains of Isaac Penson. who was 6 feet 4
inches tall in life. and was identified by
his son. Jacob Psnsou, of 849 Cherry
street.
The burned buildings were owned by
Wall & Meyer and Morris Levy. and were
used wholly as sweatshops. each room or
set of rooms being leased to different in.
dividunls or concerns. The loss on each
building is estimated at 016,000. while the
loss to the different tenants is thought to
be about $500 each. making a total of
about 875. 000.
Several of the buildings in the immedi-
ate vicinity were somewhat damaged by
the bent of the flames. but the losses in
no case were serious. It is said that Levy's
shop has taken fire twice within the past
two years.

HOLMES FOUND EUILTY.
no Verdict of the Jury Was ”order In
the First Degree.
Pmunrmu. Nov. 4.-—'i‘he verdict of
the jury in the Holmes case was prompt
and not unexpected, though the prosecu-
tion had not made as strong a case as was
anticipated It the opening of the trial. H.
B. Holmes was convicted of murder in
the first degree for the killing of Benja»
min F. Pitezel.
The jury retired from the courtroom for
the jurors returned with their verdict.
The man who was now about to hear
his doom pronounced stood erect in the
deck. the same deathllke pallor. which
could grow no deeper, on his face. He
stared at the jury blonkly, his hands
clasped behind his back. Once or twice
he moistened his ’lips with his tongue.
There was no other sign of agitation.
Then from the deep voiced court clerk
came the awful words:
“Jurors. look upon the prisoner. Pris-
oner. icolr upon the jurors Now. say
you gentlemen of the jury, do you find
the prisoner at the bar, Herman W. Mud-
gett, alias H. H. Holmes, guilty of the
murder of Benjamin F. Pltezel or not
guilty?”
The condemning syllables crime prompt-
ly from the foreman:
"Guilty of murder in the first degree."
"Hem!" muttered Holmes, clearing his
throat. but his shrunken form never trem-
bled; his lips betrayed noquiver; his mar-
velous nerve bed not forsaken him. There
was only a tighter clasp of the hands fold-
ed behind him.
Then he slowly sat down. and at the
request of counsel the jury was polled—
that is. each of the iii men separately lis-
tened to the clerk's query and responded
with the finding. As each name was
called Holmes wrote it on the margin of
a newspaper in his band, and the fingers
holding the pencil never shook. The vor-
dict was formally recciVed by the court.
A motion was made by his attorneys
for a new trial.
District attorney Graham did not op-
pose the motion. and Judge Arnold fixed
the lath of this month for a hearing.
