Dr. H.H. Holmes was arrested on November 16,1894 in Boston when he was planning to leave the country on a steamboat. He was caught because he was trying another insurance scam. After they had him arrested, they went to the Castle to find more evidence to charge him with. The police officers asked the employers if they had seen anything suspicious and they told the officers that they were not able to clean the upper floors. They became suspicious of that afterwards, so they went to the upper floors to check it out. They then realized what they had discovered, they saw the torture chamber holmes used to kill his victims. Holmes was first charged with insurance scams and then later on he was charged for first degree murder of Benjamin Pitezel.

There appeared to be no murder weapon, very few witnesses, and the house did not show any signs of an intruder (“Lizzie Borden on Trial” 5).

Two axes were found in the home, and neither had a speck of blood (“Lizzie Borden on Trial” 14).
