CLEARING UP A
CHICAGO MYSTERY
Important Admissions Secured in
Bartholin-M Mitchell
Case.

Chicago, Aug. 1s.-The develop
ments today in the Bartholin-Mitch-
ell murder mystery led the police to
believe they are nearer solution of
the problem than ever before Ed
ward Counselman, an intimate
friend of William j. Bartholin, who
is held for possible knowledge of
the crimes, was taken before Justice
Quinn today and held for 10 days in
bonds of $4,000, charged as an acces-
sorry after the fact in the double muir
der. Counselman admitted he met
BarthOlin and the latter said he had
gotten into trouble over Minnie
Mitchell. The most damaging testi-
mony- as to Counselman's possible
guilty knowledge of the murders
came from new witness, w. NJ. Al
len, Il fellow workman of Counsel
mans. Allen said COunselman told
him repeatedly he knew great deal
about the trouble of Bartholin. When
Allen suggested that Counselman tell
the police what he knew, the latter
declined, saying that Bartholin was
his friend and that he was too shrewd
for the police. Allen said Counsel
man has even expressed an opinion
that Bartholin easily had time to
reach the seaboard. Allen said Coun-
selman expressed the greatest anXi-
ETY. concerning the case and for
three days was unable to work on ac-
count of nervousness. The police
have the testimony of another wit
ness who is positive he saw Counsel
man and BarthOlin together Aug. z,
the day Miss Mitchell was found.
Counselman will be put through the
sweating" process today by the po-
lice and it is expected there Will be
valuable results.
Chicago, Aug. 1S.-OScar Thompson
was held to the grand jury Oh the

as an accessory after the fact to the
murder of Miss Minnie Mitchell
Thompson was also held Oh this
charge.
Claffy's bond was fixed at $1,000,
but the court declined to fix Il bond
for Thompson, as the murder charge,
on which lie waived examination, does
not permit of accepting surety for the
accused. The two men were taken to
the county Jail. No attempt was made
to give bond, as the primary object of
the attorneys acting for the prisoners
was to get, them out of the hands
of Inspector Hunt and free from his
"sweatboX" methods.
