CONFESSION OFOL1V.ES, THE MURDERER OF TWENTY MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Nino l'nlmown :'ietints—Taking IGem:ni Life 'Was I[is /title LEobbr—The I'ai•. pose 81111 flan or the " Castle '—.t. Hu- man Mousier MIA hnerteri MOi',U Snore, H. H. Holmes, the greatest murderer of modern times, now confined in a Philadelphia prison, bas made a con- fession. In it he tells how and why he put to death no less than twenty men, women and children. He gives all the facts: He writes as cahnly and coolly and remorselessly as he murdered. He neglects no details. He even gives an account of six murders which he plane ned but was prevented from carrying out. NINE UNKNOWN VICTIMS. It was well known that he put elev- en persons out of the world. So when his confession is printed there will be accounts of the violent death of nine people whose absence from their homes and their friends has ,hitherto been unexplained. He describes in de- tail the murder of the 'Williams sis- ters, of Quinlan, the janitor of the cas- tle, who "knew too much," of Bon jou min Pietzel—the murder for which - he is to hang—and of the Pietzel children. In fact, Holmes, sitting in 'the shadow, of the gallows„with the last hope gone, with the time and plaoe of his death fixed beyond a ohange, has given way to his vanity es a craftsman, and has written his life. He of course cannot tell the truth, but he has told it ea nearly as possible for a man of his stripe, to tell. He will add something tothe knowledge of his life; but he will add nothing to the knowledge of his character. He is to be hanged in May, and his confession is to be the last work of his extraordinary career of crime. Hie little book will have a shelf all to itself in the library of criminology. He announces himself as professionala murderer. Ecofhis muderswas carefully w planned, and executed with calmness and precision, He has written about' them as a great scientist would write t of a series of valuable experiments. He was a professional murderer. He e had stndled murder as a fine art. He pursued it to.earn a living, but also for its own sake. He used the whole of his very considerable brain power S in planning and carrying forward very 7. subtle 'murder plots, in devising new to means of killing human beings. a Ile w t as simply paver t, s as a m Co a erini a s/ pdegeneratto, with a moral sense exactly inverted, He tried ev- er sort of murder—poisoning, suffo- cating by gases, strangulation with the hare fingers, beating to death with a oiub.-. every sort except the crude, Holey murders, He liked to have plenty of time to think it ell out, to select the •piece and the moment, He Cooke very great pleasure in his work, realize to ton hast©ralwa n lesson not to Ys lasso s pleas- ure, and deliberation always prolan s it.

A GENTLE MURDERER, Lee was good-natured, jovial youth, fond of his fellow -beings, and espeel- ally fond of: women, and than Was his general eharaoter to the end. Lie. was always well liked by those he met, Ea ,•was alwaysagenerous with his =nee, snack love to every woman who came his way, and was so sympathetic and ardent that they often returned his love. Next to murder, his greatest successes were in love -making. He leaves several wives in different parts of the country, He was polite, cour- teous, gentle, even to the very last, The last view bis victim had of. him was as reassuring and agreeable as any, He murdered with a smile on his face, ands if it was a woman or a child who was engaging bbs attention, with a terun of endearment upon bis' lips. To a man whose ,passion was the, killing of his fellow -creatures by plot and stealth, the natural occupation was that of insurance swindler. The pro- fits of that business are large. The op- portunities for clever plotting are un- rivalled. And if that industry is joined with the industry of murder the combination is most attractive. The swindler kills his accomplice, thereby saving the expense and the danger of a substitute corpse, avoiding a division of the profits, and also having the pleasure of indulging a penchant for murder. These many enticements ap- pealed powerfully to Holmes, whose real name, by the ways is Herman Webster Mu d,�ett. He became an in- surance swindler while he was still in the medical college at the Univer- sity of Michigan. It would be of no es- pecial 'interest in a. study of this sort to rehearse the facts of his early car- eer. He made a. good deal of money and spent it freely. IncIcommitted sev- eral murders, but they were not out of the usual. Re was simply serving his apprenticeship, It was not until he es- tablished himself in Chicago that he be- came a real monster,•He had been look- ing aiout for some lime for a definite habitation where he could pursue . his three occupations—swindling, murder- ing and lovemaking—at his ease, He was a. domestic man, with quiet tastes and no great fondness for roving. ME CHICAGO CASTLE. He felt that if he could build him- self a suitable home he could pursue his passion in a most leisurely and agreeable fashion. So he did build hunself a home—the famous "castle” at No, 701 Sixty-third street, Chicago. He selected a site near the World's Fair grounds. The World's Fair was about to open, and with ao many strangers wandering about he could find many with whom to amuse him- self. He mist have thought out the plans of the house carefully. It was built with an eye to future naes,yet in such a way that the workmen would suspect nothing, After they had done, he and an accomplice, who was an ex, - pert meson, easily made the necessary changes. The finished house was an ideal place for doing murder with secrecy and despatch. It bad secret chambers and smothering rooms, a re- sort for burningbodies,* quicklime pti. benches and blocks for chopping corpses up and no sounds could pos- sibly reach the street, Here men and women and children were murdered and' annihilated for the money they' had with them for the insurance on their lives, because they knew ,too much, because Holmes was weary of them; or for no other reason than that he was fond of murder. He killed his friends, he killed his accomplices, he killed his mistresses, he killed child- ren. THE PIETZEL PLOT. After over a year of quiet pleasure he was compelled to give up the "case tie." He was pressed for money, and as money would not Come to him he had to go forth to seek it. Then came the great Pietzel conspiracy. He mar- ried a young and pretty woman and spent the intervals of honeymooning in killing Pietzel, in choking three Pietzel children to death and burning their bodies, in plottingto kill Mrs. Pietzel and her oldest, daughter. He would kiss his wife and leave her for a few hours, strangle a ohild, out it up, burn its body, hide the charred bones, return to his wife, embrace her and lie down beside her to sleep soundly and sweetly. f don't believe in the supernatural," he said to a reporter a few months ago. 'if J: had done .these murders they ac- cuse Inc of 1 am quite certain that I should not be troubled by dreams of anything of that sort. I am a sound sleeper. I have never known what it was not to get a good night's rest." When they arrested him they found in his pockets letters the Pietzel chil- dren had written to their mother—won- derful, innocent, loving letters, with pathetic misspelling and slips in grammar. He had killed the children, but he could not burn .these letters. He liked to read them. They were really very curious and interesting. In prison he made a pet of a chicken and devoted. himself to it with a. solicitude that was most touehing And he was always thinking of his bop up in New Hampshire with his grandparents. He took a great deal of pride in that boy and showed In many ways a genuine affection for him. , Analso, by the vay, he did many extraordinary things for one of the young women he killed; and it hos been shown that all ho time he was doing these things, which were in themselves proofs of gen- rosily, kindliness and affection, he was plotting to kill her.
