The Mystery Solved
Dead Bodies of Pitzel's Missing Children Are Found.
Toronto, Ont., July 16 – The bodies of Alice and Nellie Pitzel, the two missing daughters of Benjamin F. Pitzel, were found yesterday buried under the cellar of the house at No. 16 St. Vincent street. The children are believed to have been suffocated by gas by H. H. Holmes, the man who is supposed to have killed their father in Philadelphia. A third child, Howard, aged 8, is thought to have been murdered similarly in another city by Holmes, the desire being to rid himself of three beings who might rise to convict him of the other crime.
