CELLAR SEARCHED AGAIN.
Chicago Police Looking for More
Bodies in the B%arthoIin House.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Police officials were
in consultation again to-day trying TO
formulate new theories which may tend to
solve the mystery surrounding the muir
ders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Annie
Bartholin. Spurred on by offers of re-
ward for the arrest of William Bartholin,
the son of one of the murdered women and
the finance of the other, the police in
n~eighboring towns made several arrests to-
day. but in each case the prisoners identity
with that of the suspected murderer
could not be proved.
Working on the hypothesis that the
murderer had a mania for killing, officers
to-day began systematically to dig up
every inch OF the basement in the Barth-
olin house in Calument avenue. The
cement floor is being broken up and the
ground turned over to the depth of one
foot. Curious crowds throng the neigh
borhood of the now notorious death house
and officers have been compelled to keep
everybody off the premises save those who
have written permission from the cOron-
er.
The idea that Bartholin, the supposed
murderer OF his mother and his sweetheart,
Is being aided by a fraternal society in his
escape, was shattered tonight. Bartholin
has been a member of the Mutual Protec-
ton Association, but was expelled July /.
The officers of the organization emphatic
ally denied that they had had anything to
do with Bartholin and declared they would
not protect him under any circumstances
were he a member.
Thompson, the bOarder at the Bartholin
house was again put through the sweat
ing" process to-day but nothing additional
was learned of him. He maintained that
the story told by him when first asserted
was the truth and that he knew nothing
about the crime. The police do not credit
Thompson's tale and he is still under ar
rest.
At midnight the police declared that they
had not a single reliable clew to the
whereabouts of William Bartholin, who is
wanted for the killing Of his mother and
of Minnie Mitchell. During the day Bar
thOlin was reported from the following
places, and in nearly every instance the
identification was positive: st. Joseph,
Mich; Kenosha. Wis; Elkhart, Ind; Doris.
Ia; Guthrie, o. t. The police are of opin-
ion that Bartholin is still in Chicago, and
that If he has left he has gone to Indian
Territory. where he has friends.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY
ARREST OF A WITNESS IN THE KAN
KAKEE ASYLUM INQUIRY CASE.
Accused of Giving False Testimony,
but Was Acquitted and Rearrested
$4,000 Damage Suit.

KANKAKEE. ILL.,. Aug. 12.-Arrested at
happened this morning to Harry II. Ball,
of Chicago. one of the witnesses who testi-
fed here last night before the State Board
Of Charities In the investigation Of the
State Hospital for the Insane. Ball, who
was a former attendant and nurse at the
hospital, had made a sworn charge that
he had seen Trustee w E. Murphy stagger-
ing drunk from whisky taken in the drug
room of the administration building late
one night, and that on another occasion
the same trustee had gone to a bedroom
with a nurse late at night, causing the
night clerk to awaken the nurse for the
purpose. The charge, which was dramat-
ically made by Ball at the Investigation
last night. was Immediately contradicted
under oath in every particular by Trustee
Murphy, who was corroborated by the tes-
timony of Night Clerk william Croxen and
another witness, to the effect that Murphy
had never been in the asylum at night
during the time mentioned.
After the adjournment of the hearing
last night an effort was made to take out
a warrant for Balls arrest, but the States
attorney was stranded five miles down the
river and difficulty was found in locating
Ball. 1T was not until q a. m. IndI his
whereabouts was learned and he was sud
denly aroused from sleep at his hotel and
hurried to jail. Ball is at present an en-
pioye of the Chicago City Railway. His
alleged motive for the false testimony
charged was a desire to be revenged for
his suspension from the hospital for fight
ing, the suspension having been made by
the asylum board of trustees, Of whom
Trustee Murphy is enc.
DIR. r. S. Dewey, former superintendent
Of the Kankakee Insane Asylum, was not
allowed TO testify at to-day's session of
the State Board of Charities, because he
came In the interest Of the Civil-service
Reform Association rather than in the in
terest of the inquiry into alleged misman-
agement and abuses.
Former employees ]. G. Mckee and James
Hill presented eighteen written charges
which occupied the attention of the board
this afternoon.
Mr.. Ball, who was arrested this morning,
was tried this afternoon and acquitted
"for lack Of evidence In the afternoon he
was again arrested on the same charge
before another police Justice. In the mean
time Ball has begun a suit claiming 500, 900
damages from Trustees Small, Murphy and
Powell and Col. Buckingham, the attorney.
for alleged conspiracy for false arrest. He
asks $50, 600 damages.

SENTENCE REVOKED.
Report of n Court-MartiaI Disap-
proved by Major General Hughes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1~2.-Corporal
Thornton, who kept accounts for Second
Lieut.. J. S. Davis. quartermaster of Nc
Kinley Camp, Hawaiian islands, was re-
Gently court-martialed and tried on the
charge of classifying reports. The court
which heard the case decided that Thorn
ton was not guilty of the crime, but 1t ad-
judged him guilty of conduct unbecoming
his position and prejudicial to discipline.
He was ordered to be discharged from the
army; to forfeit all pay or fees due him,
and to be confined at hard labor for two
years.
The counsel for the defense declared that
the testimony in the case showed a condi-
ton of affairs that permitted of lax, care
less, if not dishonest, methods. Major Gen
eral Hughes, to whom the court-martials
final report and recommendation were for
warded for approval. has reversed their
decision. He declares that a condition of
affairs which permits such criticism as the
counsel for the defense made to pass un-
challenged deserves grave reproof. He
also orders Thornton's sentence revoked
and the corporal to be re-enlisted in the
service.
