Part 4, Moyamensing Prison Summary

While in prison, Holmes wrote and read all the time. He wrote his memoirs and a prison journal. However, he wrote what other people wanted to hear, not was necessarily the truth. He also wrote a letter to Carrie Pitezel, telling her where her children were and asking how she could believe he would hurt her children or her husband. He gained satisfaction from believing Geyer was never going to prove anything. He watched the papers and watched Geyer stumble through the investigation.
