THE BAR1HOLIN CASE
The Chicago Police Obtained Their
First Clew Last Night.
1Aompson and ClafPy both Under Arrest
4 Belief That the Former Will Make
Confesaion To. Day-The Hunt
After BaFth0lin.

Chicago, Aug. l4-Ihe police OBJ
tanned their first clew in the
Bartholin case last night and
developments that will go far
toward solving the mystery are
expected within "a hours. In
spector Hunt late last night found
. woman who declared that at day
break on the morning following the
night in which Miss Mitchell disap-
pcared in company with William
Bartholin, she saw Oscar Thompson,
driver for o laundry company, and
who is now held In custody by the
police; John Claffy, the barn boss
for the same concern, and q man
wearing Panama hat and dark
sack coat, in front Of the laundry at
daybreak. They were standing be-
meath a bright arc light and she saw
them plainly. She resides in the
neighborhood and knows both men
well. They were going back and
forth in the weeds and acting in q
suspicious manner.
The woman last night was con-
Rronted with Thompson, and while
he was forced to admit that he
knew her and she knew him, he de-
MED her story. The woman declared
That a light colored cap, which
Thompson had attempted to throw
away, was one that he wore at the
Time she saw him under the electric
light.
When asked why he threw that cap
sway to wear the one he had on
when he was arrested, he hesitated,
and then said: "Give me until to-
morrow. will talk with you then"
This plea was taken as an indi-
eation that Thompson's wall Of
stolidity was broken down at last
BY the strong evidence he had been
confronted with, and the police
think he will tell all he knows to-
day. They expect he will confess to
. share in the murders.
Officers were at once sent In search
u Claffy and he was taken into Gus
tody without difficulty. He was con-
fronted with the woman In black.
and at first said he did not know
her, but Immediately admitted he
did when she called him by name.
Claffy ia a man about As years old
The woman repeated the story in
exactly the same way she told 1t at
arst. He denied being with Thomp-
son and Bartholin at the time and
was Immediately locked up again.
