Trail Of Holmes

Foet Worth, T6x., Aug. 1.- Willlam Capps, who is now in Chicago on the Holmes case, belongs to the firm oí Capps & Cantey, of this oity, who sorae time ' ago instituted suit against present hold' ers of property owned by the Williams sister3. The suic is brought at the Instance of the heirs of the girls, and it is claimed that the deeds were forged by Holmes. Allen, the Arkansas convict who is so anxious to teil his connection wich the murdeis, was at ona time in the employ of Holmes in this city. Allen went by the name of "Mascot" in this city, and it Is believed hure that he can teil a great deal about Holmes and his transactions if he wants to. Allen was an ex-convict trom the prison at Joliet. Htarted to Put Up Fire-Tiap. While Holmes, or Pratt, as he waa known here, was living in this oity he started to put up a large building. It was objected to on the ground that it was a regular flre-trap and the authorities forced him to remodel it gomewhat. In view of the recent development in Chicago the authorities have made an Invetigation of the building, which leaves no room tor doubting Holmes had planned It for a death trap. One room at the top of the house has twelve exits by whioh a person can escape, from which an enclosed chuce runs down to the basement of the building, in which a body could be transferred without, any one being the wiser. In this basement a large archway had been built over the sewor in such a way that he could easily put in a trap door opening into the st-wer.
