BARTH0LIN's CORPSE FOUND.
The Man Who Murdered Hts Mother and
Sweetheart at Chicago Shielded
at Riceviile, Ia.

Riceville, Ia, Sept. s.-The. body
which was buried here Saturday
morning and which was believed to
be that of William Bartholin was ex-
humed yesterday afternoon and posi-
lively identified as that of the Chi
cago double murderer. The identifi-
cation was made by William Mitchell,
a brother of one Of Bartholin's VIC
tins, and Detective Andrew Rohan,
Of Chicago, who arrived here yester-
day morning from Chicago.
The text of confession left by
the murderer, who had shot himself,
as made public by DR.. T. S. Carpen-
ter, coroner of Howard county, is as
follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern: I
want to- state am the Bartholin the
police are looking for. Also wish to
certify l had no assistance of any
kind from anyone. Thompson, Claffy
and Counselman are all as innocent
as an unborn child and should be
freed at once. i cannot go into de-
tails in regard to the crimes. They
were not planned. 1t was all Minnie
and l could do. My mind is wander
ing. Such n drop in life in short
time. Two months ago travelling in
the best of company; to-day living
the life of hoboes; murderer. I
intended to go into details and tell
all, but / can't get my mind centered.
Even my handwriting is disgraceful.
But above all things, 1 ask to clear
everybody from under suspicion.
There is no second party; I am the
last. w. j. Bartholin."
