The Devil In The White City (79-152)

Summary
Burnham met a with a lot of architects to build the fair. He had to work with a lot of people from different area to get the job done. Root was exhausted from all the work that was required to make the fair. Holmes contributed to the fair by offering his building to make an hotel. Holmes had his own plan which to burn down his hotel after the fair. He also intended to kill people in the building as well because if the fire would destroy evidence. Many people were suspecious of Holmes but had no evidence. The fact that he was charming scared people because so much hospitality made people wonder about his true characteristic. Holmes was an intelligent man and as the fair went on many people had died, men and women. Even though people were missing the police did not question Holmes because of how easy it was for people to disappear in Chicago. When Julia got pregnant, Holmes told her to get an abortion because it was an ignominy to have a child before marriage. When Julia went to have the abortion, Holmes killed her and her neighbors knew that something was wrong with her but had no clue.

Quote
"I'm afraid of height" (Larson 90).

Reaction
This quote shows that if it was not someone's day to die, he/she would not die even if death passed near. The fact that the man's weakness saved him from being kill by Holmes, i think that was a miracle. I think that his purpose for surviving was to tell how Holmes tricked his victims.
