MRS. BARrHoLlN's MURDER.
Ceroasr's jury Iadicts William Bartholia
- Principal In the Crime and Thomp.
son and CounselmAu ~ Accessories.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The coroner's
jury at the inquest yesterday over
the body Of Mrs. Anne Bartholin
brought in q verdict recommending
that her son, William Bartholin, be
arrested and held as principal for
her murder, and that Oscar Thomp-
son and Edward Counselman, who
are under arrest, accused Of compile
ity In the murder Of Minnie Mitchell,
be held to the grand jury as access
series to the crime. The jury found
that Mrs. Bartholin came to her
death on or about July I, death be-
Ing due to strangulation.
During the inquest Mrs. Mary
Brown, former neighbor Of Mrs.
Bartholin, testified that the old lady
was suspicious and lived in deadly
fear Of her son. According to Mrs.
Browns testimony Mrs. Bartholin,
In conversation few days before
her death, had told the witness that
young Bartholin was nothing but a
beast and that the Mitchell family
would regret the day they allowed
Minnie Mitchell to have anything to
DO with him. Mrs. Bartholin in re-
lating her troubles declared that
Bartholin was dissipated ne'er-do-
well, and that she believed him capa-
BILE of almost any crime.
Robert Mitchell, brother Of the
supposed murdered girl, Minnie
Mitchell, said yesterday that he
firmly believed that neither Oscar
Thompson nor "Old Dad" Claffey was
responsible for his sisters death.
Efforts to have him disinter the body
met with only partial success. He
said while he had not seen the face
Of the dead body, he still felt it was
that of his sister. He said, however,
that to relieve all doubts he may ex-
hume the body.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
There are few words that are so fire.
Quently or incorrectly used as the word
passion
There is hardly day when we do not
hear OF some crime committed sin the heat
OF passion" and the responsibility Of the
people who have committed crime under
these circumstances has been widely dis
cussed.
A serious analysis will show that they are
at least partly responsible for such crimes.
The word passion comprises many diff
ferent feelings and emotions. such as love.
hate. Jealousy ard ambition.
1t shall be my object 10 show the common
elements to be found in all these different
feelings.
l think 1t is safe to say that We may
consider passion sickness. though not nec-
essarily grave.
At least every one must admit that 1t IS
an abnormal con1ition the normal being
equanimity. harmony and self-control.
Let us. then. study It as a disease; let
LIS examine the symptoms the causes, the
danger and the treatment.
What are. then. the symptoms OF this
state of mind which are the characteristic
features OF passion?
The passionate man is always haunted by
an image: he always carries with him a
fixed idea. that he. in spite of all his ef-
forts, cannot get rid of.
The passionate being is at all hours con-
tTolied by one tyrannc thought: he lives
and breathss for days, weeks and years for
one idea only.
The miser thinks only of his money, the
ambitious only of the coveted office the pas
sionate mother only of her child
As result of this you will find that al
most all pass onate persons are absentmind-
cd: you think they are listening to you,
while in reality they have their minds oc-
cupied with their own IDEAS.
They hardly hear or see the world around
them: they literally live in state of semi
somnambui!sm. fascinated and hypnotiZed
by the shining objects of their passion.
You Will meet them in the street looking
straight ahead. seeing nothing. sometimes
talking aioud to themselves.
The second symptom Is very active and
very inteEse ina agination. Their mind is al
ways creating.
What they love or what they hate pas
sicnately is rot the real object, but an i'm
age that t.:cy have formed themselves.
II they love they can never limit them
selves TO ordinary expressions.
They are always looking for words strong
enough to express their ardent admiration,
though its object be most commonplace.
II they hate ii is exactly the same
The language does not contain words
strong enough to describe how disgusting.
