Miss Yoke, Holmes’ One Time Wife, Put on the Stand by the Defense—Remark- able Story of the Prisoner’s Nu- merous Prevarications. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.‘—In one reSpect Holmes today found himself in a better position than he has occupied since the trial began, on Monday last. After four days. when the issue had been raised be- fore him squarely, Judge Arnold decided not to admit evidence concerning the death of the Pitezei children. That was a ‘big victory for the defense in a legal way, because the district attorney fought hard to get on the record the finding of the bones of the Pitczcls in cellars hero and there. But it is not likely that the decision of the court will in the end he of any partic~ ular benefit to the defendant. The dis- trict attorney seemed to be under the im- pression that Lawyer Rotan would object to the introduction of any such evidence, and with propriety. -. Holmes is not on trial for having killed the children, and the killing of them shows no motive for the murder of Pitezel. But the district attorney got a good part of the testimony he wanted about the death of tho’children before he was finally shut off. In his opening, and time and again during the trial, he spoke of the children, and how they had been butchered and quicklimed. lo caught the attention of the jury by filling how the children had been separated from the “loving mother, who had yearned for them when they had been slaughtered, and she was never to see any more of, them than afew bleached bones. . All that had its effect, of course, and the picture of the murdered innocents was held up so often to the jury that itmust have made an indelible impression on the minds of the 12 good men and true. Holmes had no counsel when that was done; knew not enough of his rights to insist on that right which was his. A Tilt Betweeh Counsel. So it seems as if excluding that testi- mony now was about as effective as nail- ing the barn door after the disappearance of the horse. It was too late, it seemed, to be of any practical benefit. Still Holmes felt better for it, as was seen when he walked into court today to listen to a lively tilt between counsel at the very opening. Mrs. Pitezel had been recalled for a moment to tell that she, too, had been in jail on a charge of conspiracy and had been discharged. In cross examination the defense said it would show that it was Mrs. Pitezel who had led Holmes about the country, and not the defendant who had moved her from town to town. The district attorney snecred at that and spoke of subjecting the “poor woman on the stand” to a still greater strain. Mr. Rotan, who is a hearty, honest and rather impulsive young man, blurted out that the prosecuting officer was under- stood; thot he was simply talking for ef- fect on the jury. The black gowned Judge Arnold want- ed to know if the defense was going to show that Mrs. Pitezel was the Svengali. Edward H. Cass, Chicago agent for the insurance company, told of having receiv- ed letters from Holmes, as has already been told. Cass said he had received a message from Pitozol, invwhioh Pitezel told him who Holmes was and where he could be found. The testimony of Cass was more in the nature of corroborative detail than any- thing clsc. . Bolmes’ Book. A dapper young man, wearing alight suit, red necktie, and with curly black hair, came forward when the name of John 'King was called. Mr. King was more diflldent than his appearance indi- cated. ‘ He hesitated along time when asked his business and seemed to be quite un- certain for a time what his calling was. Then he concluded that he wasn’t doing , anything at present. The last thing he did was to road the manuscript of a book entitled “Holmes’ Own Story,” or something of that kind. The'manuscript, the witness said, he had received from Lawyer Shoemaker, who assists Mr. Rotan some in the defense. The witness couldn’t say that Holmes had written the manuscript. It was type- written when he received it. The type- writer who made the copy was in court. She was a pale faced, solemn visaged and spectacled young woman. The young woman, whose name is Amy Long, was called upon as the next witness. She acted as if she thought a dire fate was about to overtake her at any moment, or that she had-committed some awful crime in making a copy of the manuscript. A copy of the book was handed to her, and she was asked if she had typewritten it. She thought she had. “I didn’t read the book,” she said earnestly. She said the manuscript had been in pencil and didn’t know if she cculd.reoognize the some writing again. Some writing was shown to her, and she said it looked like the some writing. She had secured the original manuscript from Shoemaker. A great deal of time was wasted over the young woman, who clearly didn’t rel- lsh the position she was in. Holmes and his counsel pored over a copy of the book, which had been put forward by the prose- cution. Mr. Rotan made a couple of marks in it at points where he wished the witness to read. The district attorney objected to the marks in his book. “It isn’t your book; it is my book," rc- marked Judge Arnold. The spectators laughed loudly, and the court attendants, scowling at the audi- ence, cried "-‘Silcncel” so fiercely as to cause several timid‘women, whose nerves had hardly recovered from the shock of beholding a real live murderer, to hep up and down on their seats like corn in the pan (IV/Era hem. "‘ Did Pitezel Commit Suicide? When every one had recovered, Miss Long was asked if there had. been any changes in the book since she had made the copy of it. She thought there had been. Dr. Lefi'man came back to tell about deaths from chloroform. According to his own statement, he has never seems. death produced by chloroform. He Was called as an expert by the prosecution. Mr. Rotan wanted to know from the, witness if it were possible for a. person to take chloroform without outside assist- ance; that the defense wanted later on for the contention that Pitezel had com- ' mitted suicide. fensc. That much was made plain by Holmes and his counsel. If chloroform was intro— duced into the stomach a few seconds, or even a few minutes, before death, Dr. Leffman told Mr. Rotau, it was possible that the stomach would show no irritation. Chloroform, he thought, invariably pro- duced inflammation of the membrane of the stomach. No inflammation was dis- covered in the stomach of Pitezel, though more than an ounce of chloroform was found there. Mr. Rotan tried to pin the witness down to the statement that if the Iholoform had been taken half an hour before death it would not have produced Inflammation, but the witness wouldn’t say that positively. Mr. Rotan did get from the witness, however, that chloroform might have been taken 15 minutes before death and not produce inflammation. Mr. Rotan got him to say also, and to Holmes it was worth more than all the rest to the de- fense, that the difference between the in- flammation caused by alcohol and chloro- form could not be determined with any certainty. ' The physicians had all testified that in- flammation, supposed to have been caused by alcohol, was found in the stomach of Pietzel. . This was to be the de- Tlie Prosecution Closed. A few letters were introduced, and then District Attorney Graham startled the au~ dience with the announcement, “Our case is closed.” . It had been expected, but even then the fact that the prosecution had closed its case created a sensation and disappoint- ment also, for it was thought the prose- cution had more of a case than that. The windup of the prosecution had not shown anything in particular against Holmes, more than that he had committed per- jury, and was guilty of trying to defraud an insurance company—that is, according to evidence. There had been a great deal of matter before the jury that would create feeling against Holmes, and give an insight into his general bad character, though not too much of that had been shown. As the case stood then, it seemed that Holmes might be convicted because of his general bad character. At the request of Mr. Rotan Miss Yoko was called to the stand again, this time to help save the man whom yesterday she forced closer to tho gallows. To Mr. Botan she said she had been married in ' Denver, in December, 1894, by the Rev. Dr. Wilcox. ”At the time of the marriage did you know of the existence of this Willamette woman?” “I believe I did.” An Iridescent Provzricator. She had heard what Holmes told his sister about her and how he came to marry her. “His sister told me he told them he had been injured in a wreck and had been in a hospital a. long time, and I was a patroness of the hospital, and that I had influenced the physicians to perform an operation that saved his mind, and that I married him before he realized who he was; that he had gone to meet his father and mother. When repeated the story to him,” she wont_c-, “he evaded it by saying he had recicved word that the woman in Willamette was dead. “I do not know that he ever explained to me why he told me that strange story. He had never been in a wreck that I know of. I had never been the patroncss of a. hospital. No part of it was true so far as I was concerned.” Tile district attorney then pressed her to tell of the deception that Holmes had practiced on her in order to get her to marry him. “He to‘d my mother that property in the south' would come to him if he took the name of his uncle, which he did, as H. M. Howard. He said the property was in the south and West and in Fort Worth, Tex. He told me he had only one relative living, and that was an aunt in Africa. ” She said that when she and Holmes were in Fort Worth, Tex., he had assumed the name of Pratt, after telling her that because squatters had taken possession of his propertyit was necessary for him to pass under an assumed name in order to avoid trouble with the squatters. .3- @~_c::_-"_‘ illGlSllllilliilllllllsl'i‘dlllillttlJallISZlililtllililili.

The Mussulmans as ‘Vell as the Armeni- ans Are Plotting For Revolt—An Attempt to Burn the big Amer- ican College In Marsovan. VARNA, Bulgaria, Nov. 2 —According to advices received here from Constanti- topic, a very serious state of afiairs exists lhere. There seems ,to be no doubt that the report of the disoOvery of a plot against the palace on Monday evening is correct, and three Mussulmans are said to have been arrested at Stamboul in connection with it. Several houses have been searched and a quantity of arms have been seized. Much along is reported to exist at the Yildiz kiosk, the sultan’s residence, be. cause the Albanian guards refuse to do duty there any longer. It is supposed that the guards were suborned by the Mus- sulmau committees, and there seems to be little doubt that eight of the soldiers were executed and 24 others were sent to differ- ent prisons. In Anatolia the feeling of discontent against the rule of the sultan is becoming so marked that important events are looked for very soon. The fusion of the Mussulman and Armenian committees is believed to be imminent, and it is said upon good authority that a joint revolu- tionary manifesto will soon be issued. The Turkish government is aware of the seri- ous aspect which affairs are taking, and desperate odorts are making at Constanti- no le to raise money with which to pro- vi. 0 for the calling out of the army re~ serves. The Agitation Against Americans. Consranrmortn, Nov. 2.—Advioes re- ceived here from Marsovan, Asia Minor, say that the trouble which was anticipated by United States Embassador Terrell in a dispatch to, Washington in last August has culminated in an attempt to burn the American college there. The would be lnccndiarics have not been discovered. The agitation against the Americans at I‘alarsovan began about a year ago, when a. number of pupils of the American col- lege were expelled because their fathers were suspected of being implicated in the Armenian movement. This caused sus— pioion to fall upon the professors of the college, five in number, two of whom are Americans: Mr. Terrell notified the au- thorities at Washington that Garabed, r. naturalized American cgl‘fiizen. one of the students, had been assaSs’inated at Marse- van as he was going to attend a religious service. He was the chief member of the Protestant community at Marsovan and chairman of the council of thirty, which was held responsible for the peace of the city. He is said to have been murdered by the revolutionists because he had given the government information regarding their plans. At the same time Mr. Ter- rell notified the state department that the revolutionists had marked the professors at Marscvan for slaughter long before the Sassoun atrocities were committed. Even- tually a Turkish guard was furnished to the college at the request of Mr. Terrell. Found Dead In the IVoods. Oswnco, N.
