The situation became so critical yes
terday that John c. Driscoll. secretary

bring about a settlement. He got in
communication with John Sharkey.

STRANGE MURDER MYSTERY.
Body of Woman Found IN Chicago Gel.
la-Another il, the Woods.

Chicago. Aug 11.-The body of Mrs.
Annie Rartholin, who, it is believed,
was murdered by her son, William Bar
tholin, also wanted for killing his
sweetheart, Minnie Mitchell, was found
late Saturday in the basement of her
home at 1910 Calumet avenue.
The remains We're wrapped in quilt
and were in n fair state of preservation.
While no official examination has yet
been made to determine the immediate
cause of death, there is sufficient
number of bruises upon the corpse to
prove that she had received, prior to
her death. beating severe enough to
have killed her.
She evidently had been pounded vi
ciously with heavy club. The concrete
floor of the cellar had been removed and
beneath it a hole deep enough to hold
the body had been dug. Over the
womans body had been carefully laid
all her best clothes. Every garment
that she would have been likely to take
had She gone on q visit to Milwaukee,
as her son declared she had. was placed
above her body. A little earth was then
shoveed on. the concrete loosely put
in place and number of boxes dragged
over the spot, covering 1T completely.
The remains We're taken to a neighbour
ing undertaking establishment, where
they were identified as those of Mrs.
Bartholin.
The body of an unidentified man, at
first supposed to be that of William
Bartkolin was found in the woods at
Ninety-fifth street and Winchester ave
nues. The man was about forty years
old, and this one particular was enough
for the police to give the matter only
small consideration.
A motive which may have led to the
disappearance of Miss Mitchell and
Barthoin and the false elopement story
concocted by l3arthoin today WAS re-
vealed when Peter Van Vlissingen,
real estate man who is the agent of the
owner of the first mortgage on the Bar
tholin home, looked over his CORES
Iondence files and found that he had
written Mrs. Bartholin July 9, asking
ton with some matters regarding the
title of her property. Mr.. Van Nlssin-
gems principal has first mortgage on
the property for s4,5o0. while there is a /
second mortgage for $1,000
That letter must have been received
by the son. Possibly, 1T has been con-
jectured, the son had handled financial
matters for his mother in an unsatis- |
factory manner, and, fearing that the |
of Mr.. Van Nlissingen meant
decided upon flight. His
love for Miss Mitchell, even in his hnan-
cial panic. asserted itself, and. deter
mined to flee himself he lured her away
from her home. with the ostensible pur-
pose of taking walk.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

If you are a male citizen in good and
regular standing you have of course
noticed during the last few days that
you were very prominent and had many
friends. You have been receiving let
tiers from distinguished men, and all of
them have fully recognized your high
standing and importance in the commu-
nifty. Some Of them have made special
appeals to your we'll known good judg-
ment and public spirit, and you have
been pleasantly informed of the value
of your friendship. All this will stop
now. Election is over, and though you
are all right and just as good. prom
inent and valuable as ever, you will
not be so openly and persistently loved
and sought as you have been. But do
not be depressed by what may seem a
lack Of appreciation after so much.
Your distinguished friends love you
none the less, and value you just as
much. When they need you again you
viii again hear from them. They can't
be writing to you all the time, but they
would like to have you remember that
their hearts are yours until they find
time to send you more letters.
