Without encountering any serious
objection, the mob started with
their victims for a point half mile
south of town. There Salyers was
granted permission to make state
ment. He said that Gates had shot
johnson after firing three times,
and that when the last shot was
fired Gates had hold -of Johnson.

exchanged shots with the men, and
Gates was found to have been shot
in the right bip.

men were quickly strung up to a
tree. There they were left hanging
and the mob dispersed quietly at 2
o'clock, after an hours work. Only
one shot was fired, and that was to

An attempt to wiring a confession
from Thompson by putting him in

ed, result in a statement that this
horse and wagon were used to con-
vey the body of Minnie Mitchell to
the lonely field at Seventy-fourth
and State streets.
For several hours this morning
Inspector Hunt took every possible
device to induce the prisoner to
throw some light on the mystery.
All night "stool pigeon" had been
in Thompson's cell, but nothing
was learned. The prisoner paced
his cell in a nervous frenzy. In.
answer to the inspectors queries
today he said that he had no recol'
lection Of what he did the supposed
night of the Mitchell murder. He
remembered having eaten his sup
per and of feeding the dog the next
morning, The interval, however,
was blank. Thompson said that
Edwards, one of Mrs. Barthoiin's
roomers, was doctor, and might
have ''doped" him. Thompson will
be put through the ''sweating' pro-

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The mystery
surrounding the Bartholln murder
case battles the Chicago police. To-
day the feeling grew stronger that
the body of the young woman found
last Thursday in the field at Sew
enty-fourth and State streets and
buried as Minnie Mitchell was not
that of the woman. Coroner Trae-
ger today was asked to exhume the
body, but inasmuch as the family
of the girl did not join in the re-
quest he declined. He said the body
was SO decomposed that such action
would be of little avail. The coro-
ner's physician and other we'll
known medical men, however, state
in positive terms that eight days.
exposure could not have effected
such a change in the body.
Working on this theory the po-
lice have sent out tracers to find
William J. Bartholin and his fan
Gee together alive. Efforts are also
being made to identify the suppos-
ed Mitchell body as some one of the
numerous other women who have
been mysteriously missing. The
Mitchell family has taken no steps
to clear up the mystery thereabout,
