DARTHOLlN'S BODY is FOUND
sOrpss Supposed TO Be Chicago Fugitive
Located in Iowa.
HAD DIED BY HIS OWN HAND At LAST
Letters on body Confess Grimes of
which He was Suspected and
serve to Identify Him
as Man Wanted.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The body Of a man
thought TO be William Bartholin, murderer
of his mother and sweetheart in Chlcag go
six weeks ago, was found today in a field
near Lowther, Ia, 200 miles from Chicago.
A bullet hole in the head and a revolver
on the ground beside the body showed how
the hunted fugitive had died. In the
pocket of the mans coat was a letter con-
Tossing to the murder OF the two women in
Chicago.
Letters signed Minnie MITCHELL" the
name OF Bartholin's murdered nancee, also
were found in tho suicides pocket.
The body was found In a FAX field, six
miles from Riceville. The discovery
was at once reported to the town
authorities and the body was removed to
Riceville. There II was recognized as that
Of a man who had been in the locality for
some time. A umber Of persons recalled
that the stranger had been seen around the
town for several days. To some who had
talked with him he gave the name of evil
liam" To others he said he was William
Boscoe. At a hotel he registered as Ed
wards" He disappeared a week ago today
and It is presumed that It was then that he
took his life In despair Of eluding the po-
lice and In terror Of being captured.
The town authorities at once noticed the
resemblance the body bore to the descrip-
ton Of the Chicago fugitive which Inspector
Hunt OF Chicago had sent to every town
within 300 miles of Chicago. II was then
that a more careful examination was made
Of the body and the note confessing to the
murders was found. The town authorities
buried the body. but II will be exhumed to
remove any doubt that may be raised as to
the identity Of the suicide.
Bartholin's note referred to he two MUIR
ders in Chicago and declared hat no one
except himself was concerned in the COM
mission Of the crimes. The note filled
one and a quarter pages Of ordinary letter
paper and was signed william Bartholin."
The letters found on the body were written
two years ago and we're signed IN. W."
The initials are supposed to stand for Min
ME Mitchell.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-07
chicago Police investigate.

When the suicide first appeared at the
Iowa town he registered at the Hotel
Wilkes. He had his breakfast taken up
to his room and remained In bed all the
forenoon. Upon arising he avoided entering
the dining room. He seemed troubled and
was very quiet. Later he went out into
the country in search of work.
The letters and confession found on the
body are in hands Of the coroner. who Is
now at Lime Springs. Ia.
Unable to receive any ofieial information
from Riceville concerning the finding Of
the body supposed to be that Of Bartholin,
Chief Of Police o'Neill decided to send two
officers to the scene of the suicide. The
onhcers selected to go were both personally
acquainted with Bartholin, and in case the
body is that of the murderer will have no
trouble In establishing his identity. The
detectives left Chicago at IL o'clock over
the Chicago Great Western railroad, ac-
companied by Robert Mitchell, brother Of
the murdered girl.
Contents of Confession.
The confession which was found in the
dead mans pocket was dated August 81,
and in II the writer declared that he killed
his mother, Mrs. Anna Bartholin, for her
money. and later murdered his sweetheart.
Miss Minnie Mitchell.
All others who have been arrested in
the case are exonerated in the confession,
although Bartholin accuses Minnie Mitchell
OF being q party to the plot to murder his
mother.
The murder Of Mrs. Bartholin, the con-
fession runs was accomplished according
to a plot arranged between the two lovers,
and later Bartholin killed Miss Mitchell.
The confession explicitly states that
Thompson. Claffy and Counselman. the other
suspects-their names are mentioned in the
order given-are guilty Of no completely
in the murder.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-07
Points of Identification.

The body itself furnishes several points
which are similar to those in the amended
police description Of Bartholin, Issued Au-
gust IS. Chief Of these is the upper false
teeth. The undertaken who handled the
body found In Iowa said tonight the upper
teeth were false and ''set in q white
plate" AS to whether there were two
gold-crowned teeth In the row, another
means Of identifying Bartholin, the under
taker could not remember. and the body
was buried today. 1t was apparent death
had occurred several days ago. and it is
due to that fact that some Of the points
of Identification have been obiiterated.
BaYtholin was SO years old. The under
taker could not estimate the age Of the
man whose body was found in the field.
He could not estimate the weight. Bar
tholin weighed 100 pounds. The undertaken
estimated the height at six feet. The
fugitive was five feet ten inches. Bartholin
had brown hair and large nose, mouth and
ears. The undertaken said the hair on the
head Of the body was light" The time
intervening since death had made accurate
statements as to the ears, nose and mouth
impossible. The undertaken could not say
whether the dead man had blue eyes and .
scar on his left cheek, as did Bartholin.
when He First Arrived.
Three weeks ago the suspect arrived at
Riceville. He made his way to the Wilkes
hotel and registered as william Edwards"
The stranger seemed jaded when he ar
rived at the lows hotel and rested for a
few days. To those with whom he talked
he said his name was william and he did
not use the name Edwards except infre-
q~uently. After a week the stranger began
to look for work. He inquired about Rice
vile, but found nothing. Then he made
short excursions into the country and
found work on a farm 1--WE miles south Of
the little town. Out Of the sight Of the
Riceville police, the man almost dropped
out Of their minds until Friday. DR.. Pratt,
the village doctor. in passing along a road
by a fax field. noticed a body. He went to
the body and ascertained that life was ex-
tinct. When he returned to Ricevtlle he
called up the coroner Of Howard county at
Cresco and notified him OF the discovery.
A verdict OF suicide was returned by the
eoroner'a fury.

Considerable complaint is
heard, of late, that the Ameri-
can flag is desecrated by being
put to mere commercial uses.
The complainants aver that the
flag which Cheered the ragge d
hosts of Washington at Valley
Forge, Heated over Grants
army at Vlcl1sburg, and went
with Sherman to the sea; which
marked the van of the khaki
line over the cane fields Of Cuba,
and across the rice glades and
through the tangled jungles
of Oriental A merica. is
now adjoining hams and bacon,
beer and suspeuders, liniments
and mite eXterminators.
When the flag no longer fiut
tiers for greed, rapacity and
special privileges for the favor,
ones; when whining lobby no
longer pleads for laws to boom
the output of an unreasonably
protected industry; then we
may turn our attention to the
hams and bacon, beer and sus
penders. liniments and most
I runs, of which complaint is
made.

GEN. DEWET'SLAST GUN q

THE BRITISH FORCES.
STATEMENT ISSUED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Represent-
ative Crumpacl0er, of Indiana, author
of the resolution presented to the Re
publican caucus Monday night, and to
be further considered next Monday,
for committee investigation of the
suffrage question in the south, and
looking to a bill to reduce southern
representation on account of dis
franchicing of the blacks, authorizes
the following statement to correct any
impression that it is in the nature of
force bill"
The resolution submitted to the
caucus was designed to secure a full
and thorough investigation of the suf-
frage question, not only in the south,
but in all the states that have imposed
restrictions of manhood suffrage.
'Fhere is a general belief that a num-
Der of states have disfranchised a
large portion of their citizens; that
the colored population, by the oper-
alton of state laws, is entirely elimi-
ated as a political quantity, and yet
it counts in apportioning representa-
tion among the states. 1t is the gen
eral belief that the southern states
have at least 35 representatives in the
house and electoral college resting
upon the fictitious basis, If this be
found to be true in fact, and repre-
sentation be reduced accordingly, as
the constitution imperatiyely requires
it would go a long way toward set
tling the race question. Such a method
would have none of the Characters
ties of the force bill The disfranchis-
ing states would suffer reduction
il political power which they could
regain by educating their citizens and
admitting them to the privileges of
the ballot"
