OASOOO llll’ElCHED. _ Hams Alleged Confe’derate'Tells a Startling Story. MINNIE WILLIAMS Is ALIVE. An Almost/2 Incredible Narrative About OccurrenCes at the “Castle";Even Boys Were Murdered—Was Mrs. Pitezel an Accompllee? LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 28.—J. C. Allen, alias Caldwell, who is serving a ten years’ sentence in the Arkansas penitentiary for horse stealing, is unquestionably familiar with» many of the murderous operations of H. H.,Holmes, now confined in the Phila- delphia jail. Attorneys Capps and Hum- phreys Of Fort Worth and Marshal Rea of the same city have visited Allen, and all identify him as the “mascot” so often re- ferred to by the newspapers of the coun- try. . Warden E. B._Moore has finallysucceed- ed in obtaining-a statement from Allen. Allen’s language, word for word, was re- duced to writing and read to him by the warden, which he says is correct in every particular. Here is in substance what he says: ' “In 1892 Holmes, Lyman and myself met at St. Joe, Mo. Minnie Williams ac- companied Lyman to St. Joe from Chi- ' cage, where she had been for some time living as the wife 'of Holmes. At this meeting was the first knowledge I had of the Fort Worth property deal. The Min- nie Williams property in Fort Worth was then and there deeded to me, in the name of A. E. Bend, from Minnie Williams. The deal we, made with the distinct un- derstanding that it was to be a swindling operation. . , “In a few days the property was trans- ferred by me to Lyman, but I was not present when the ‘deal’ was made, Holmes making the transfer without my knowl- edge or censent. From St. Joe Holmes, Lyman and myself Went to Denver and From Leadville the three of us, with Holmes’ so called wife, Mrs. Howard, went to Fort Worth, to com- mence operations there. The Holmes '(Pratt) transactions at Fort Worth are already familiar to the p ublie. Lyman Becomes Obstreperous. , “Lyman’s drunken conduct at‘ Fort Worth caused Holmes to send him away to Kansas City. While in Kansas City Lyman wrote several threatening letters to Holmes, in which he said that he would turn up all their rascality unless Holmes sent him money. Lyman was furnished money at three difierent times, sent by me at Holines’ request... . “While Lyman was in Kansas City. Holmes, Pat Quinlan, who had joined us at Fort Worth a short time before We left that .1. c. ALLEN (MASGOT). place, and myself had several talks about, putting Lyman out of the way because Holmeshad become afraid of him on no count of his drinking too much and knowing too much. ' “When the proposition was being dis- cussed to dispose of Lyman, Holmes re- marked that about a year before he had planted some pumpkin seed up in ‘God’s country,’ and it was time to'plant more. It was between— Fort Worth and Denisen that Holmes told me that I must have my life insured for $10,000 in favor of my lit- tle niece. Holmes was to collect the in- surance in his peculiar way and I was to get $2,000 of the amount and Holmes $8,- 000 for ’collecting.’- Remembering the large trunk bought for Lyman’s body, and becOming fearful that I might not be alive when Holmes collected the insurance money, I determined to part company with him, 2which I did at Denison, and I have never seen him since, but received as many as thregletters from him. A Den of Horrors. "The building in Chicago known as the ‘castle‘ was erected especially for a ‘death trap, ' and during my association with Holmes I was in it often, and, in fact, ec- cupied a room there. The blood of no one is upon my hands, but I am satisfied mur- der was committed in the house, because I heard Holmes and Quinlan discuss the manner of their ‘taking oif.’ A stranger to the city during the World’s fair was de- coyed into that castle and murdered for his money. He did -not have as much money as ,Holmes thought—only $8, 700. A bright little boy was enticed into the castle during the fair and lield in a room for five days for a reward for his recovery. No reward being offered, they were afraid to turn him out, and the gas was turned into his room at night, and he was suf- fecated. “I could mention other such cases of crime committed in the castle and dis-,3 cussed in my. presence by Holmes and Quinlan,‘but these are sufficient, except one, and that was of Annie Williams. was not in Chicago when she was killed, but wasat the castle two or three days afterward. Holmes and Quinlan coolly discussed the manneref her murder to me. knocked in the head with a stool by Min- ’nie Williams ‘and then given some drug by Holmes to make’her die easy. ' ' . ‘ “Lawyer Capps and others declare that ' Minnie Wfiliams was also murdeged by . ' Hcfimes. I khdw t?) the‘contrary. I know that Minnie Williams was alive when Holmes was arrested for his crimes, and, if dead, she has died since then. .If not dead in the last few months, she can be found if those most interested will pay for the knowledge of her whereabouts. “Quinlan is equally guilty with Holmes in taking human life, Holmes doing the planning and Quinlan the execution, Quinlan’s wife knowing of all of their work of this kind. And I will state here that Pitezel’s wife, I am thoroughly con- vinced, knew of the murder of her hus- band and children. Holmes and she were very confidential, and she knew what was going on. ” RARso'ilk‘EEPs. Ins PLACE. His Commission" as Minister to Mexiod RIailed to Him Today. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. —The White House mail today bore the commission of, Matt W. Ransom to be United States minister to Mexico. The commission was . dated Aug. 24. This ends a legal complicatiOn by which Minister Ransom, after several months’ service at his post at the City of Mexico, was declared ineligible to fill the office to which he had been appointed prior to the expiration of his term as United States senator. It was held by the treasury accounting officers that he fell within a constitution: _.',. -.-..... ._--.».. -—o-'.- ~c;r,-.. MINISTEB BANSOM. a1 inhibition against the appointment of congressmen to efl‘ioes created or whose emoluments had been increased during their services in congress. _ It has been generally understood that Mr. Ransom would be promptly reap- pointed, and the slight delay which has occurred presumably has been for the ur- pose ef'definitely ascertaining that t ere Were no more legal or other obstatles‘in the way of renaming Mr. Ransom to the Mexican mission. The minister was in Washington a few days ago, but is new in North Carolina recuperating from an attack of illness due, in part, to the climate of ' he City of Mexico. \Vhat Our Babies Drink. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-—A review of the processes of ‘changes in milk is made in a bulletin of the agricultural depart-~ ment. It points out that the amount of bacteria in milk supply of cities and towns Varies greatly. Tests so far made show that city milk that contains not more than 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter may be regarded as ex~ ceptionally good. Minnesota to Intervene. ST. PAUL, Aug. 28.-—-When the suit of Thomas W..Pearsall, to prevent the cen- selidation of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, comes up in court here, the state of Minnesota will ask to be made an intervener. The attorney general hopes to save time bytaking this course and get an early decision in favor of the state, which, he says, will oppose the proposed deal. Japs to Build Forts. LONDON, Aug. 28.—A Berlin dispatch to The Standard says that it is reported that Japan will build two new naval forts at Ominato, in Acknori, and at Yeikebay, in the Loo-Choc islands.

Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association at Detroit. THE PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. »Mr. Carter Speaks of the Passion of Law-2 making and Discusses Many Points of Interest to the Average Conscientious Citizen. DETROIT, Aug. 28.—An intellectual looking assembly of 300 leading jurist: and members of the bar was present in Y M. C. A. hall today when President James 0. Carter of New York called to or der the eighteenth annual convention e) the American Bar association. After thanking the Detroit representatives oi the profession for the cordial reception tendered the visitors, the president read a short list of the most noted jurists pres- ent, who were invited to seats upon the platform. President Carter then proceed- ed with tho reading of his address, which was‘ as follows: 2 “If we conceive, as we justly may, ” he continued, “an independent society of men as an individual with a separate and dis S\ .- Al f’ , ‘v ”fl" ’ will 1 , S S, y: \hl-T"; yl‘ l "“k 1' VT», . . a: 4S; ‘ u‘fi’d’llfiahfi 5,; , . \’\"‘W\\Vkififi’/‘ ’ . - ivl‘."\\\\\ \LS\/ I I? b" // JAMES C. CARTER. tinct conception of his 'own interests, the statutory laws of such a. society such as ours become analogous to the voluntary resolutions of a person for self improve- ment. “But are the laws executed? Do they represent resolutions of a wise and self controlled man which are actually carried out, or those abortive reSolves that serve only to indicate a man conscious of error, but incapable of reformation? I am not unaware of the difference in point of ox-= cellence between public and private work. It is not likely that the selection of legis- lators can, ever be made with uniform wisdom, but a great advance will be made when those that aspire to be legislators be- gin te seek the knowledge the office re- quires. The Question of Taxation. “Take the great question of taxation. It is amazing to think that enlightened states, abounding in productive wealth which would easily afford an ample rev- enue if properly tapped, should insist on retaining an intricate system of taxation even after it has proved to be abortive for And yet this is What is everywhere exhibited. "It seems incomprehensible that a peo- ple should deliberately adopt a policy that fosters the increase of crime, contempt for the laws and the debasement of charac- ter. In some communities, notably in the city ef'Now York, the impossibility of a general and equal enforcement of the laws and the revolting injustice of a partial ef- fort have had the effect of leading the ex- ecutive officers to wholly abandon any se~ rieus attempt at a rigid enforcement. And yet these worse than useless results of legislative action seem nowhere to lead to any serious inquiry into the real nature of the difficulty. “The condition of what are called sumptuary laws is equally discreditable to our knowledge both of the science of legislation and the teachings of experi- ence. The task of enforcing them against the passions, the beliefs and the interests of multitudes can be accomplished only .by a despot armed with unlimited power. The result is that our statute books are bristling with penal enactments that have little effect in repressing the practices against which they are aimed. A society that has not the moral energy to enforce its will in any particular case should nev- er embedy that will in the form of a stat- ute. ’ The Passion of Lawmaking. “There are large numbers alSo in all free societies with whom lawmaking amounts to a passion. In our easy going legislatures, too much engrossed with party and personal schemes, it is easy to induce acquiescence in proposals for new laws upon subjects not fit for legislation. I attribute these errors in legislation to the two cauSes already mentioned, which are closely allied with each other—first, the common passion, the cacoethes, which afflicts so many, of framing new laws, and, second, the disposition or the Will- ingn’ess, common to all legislatures, of acting upon matters that are not proper subjects of legislation at all. I know of nothing more needed among us than a deepened conviction that the sphere of "legislation, like that of other forms of hu- man activity, has its proper limits which can never be exceeded without mischief, and a sufiicient knowledge of what these limits are. “In urging the increased study by our profession of the science of legislation I mean that science in its broadest extent. It should embrace, as I conceive, two principal branches—first, the just. limits of the province of legislation—that is to say, what subjects are really fit for legis- lative action—as distinguished from those that should be left to the disposition of . courts. “The other/important branch lathe - study of the propermanner in which sub- jects fit for legislative action should be treated—that is to say, the art of framing appropriate and efiective laws." - ‘ Advertise in.
