The pass keys to the house Barthoa

The pass keys to the house Barthot
in is known to have carried.
The connection Of Counselman with
the case furnished another mystery"
He explained that Bartholin had asked
him for money. but he could not tell
why he had suddenly been taken Ill on
his return to his home on the night Of
July IL after he had visited Bartholin.
One Of the striking features to the
police was the condition of the bodies
of the three principals Of the tragedy.
None was recognizable when discov.
cred. Was 1t the idea Of William Bar
tholin at the start to effect this result?
The motives which prevailed in the
whole case still are mystery, and
there is little prospect Of their ever
being known. The confession left by
the murderer indicated that he knew
of the arrest Of Thompson, Counsel
man and Claffy, yet no one with whom
he associated after his departure from
Chicago has been found who ever saw
him purchase or read a newspaper
Perhaps in the future some person
will offer the key to the case, which
has proven the greatest mystery In
the history of the Chicago police.

inspector went so far as to involve
Thompson and Claffy, who, he be-
lieved, aided Bartholin in the transfer
of the body to the lonely prairie.
Where Miss Mitchell and Bartholin
went after they we're seen at Indiana
avenue and Forty-third street never
has been learned. The most plaus-
ible theory from the first has been
that they went, as they announced on
their departure to the Mitchell family,
for a street car ride whtch terminated
In the murder of Miss Mitcneii at
Seventy-fourth and State streets. The
motive of that murder is believed to
have been her discovery Of the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Bartholin and her threat
to expose the young man.
With the death of the girl Barthol-
In had no further motive to remain In
the city. He was seen at his home
on July 81 and the morning Of Aug. 5
at the home of William Underberg,
6513 Greenwood avenue. Then, driven
by fear of capture, he sought safety
on Iowa farms. where remorse finally
drove him to suicide.
Articles connected with the case
that never have been accounted for In
addition to the $3.50 supposed to have
been in the possession of Mrs. Bar
tholin and the clothing Of Miss Mitch
ell are the following:
Three diamond rings and one gold
watch belonging to Mrs. Bartholin.
The plain gold ring worn by Miss
Mitchell when she disappeared

covery Of the body does not aid them.
These are some of the questions they
would like to have answered:
What was the motive that induced
Bartholin to kill his mother?
What day or night was she killed.
and how did the son encompass her
death without attracting the atten-
ton of the rest of the roomers?
How did he succeed in transferring
the body to the cellar and in burying
1t without being seen or suspected?
Why did he kill the little dog, which
was his mothers favorite. and bury it
in the cellar, destroying the body with
quicklime. without using the same
upon the body of his mother?
Was he afraid the dog would whine
at the door of his mothers room and
arouse Oscar Thompson and the other
roomers to a pitch that would con-
vince them something unusual had
taken place?

concealed his mothers disappear

When Hoeft had read that far he
saw Bartholin coming toward the
house and he dropped the letter, with.

1t is surmised that the fugitive saw

his identity had been discovered, and

Wilkes Booths Oil Well

Booth was at Meadville one day,
waiting for train eastward on the
Atlantic & Great Western railroad,
now the Erie. He was in the office
Of the McHenry house. One of the
Prather boys was there talking up
the prospects of the oil at Pithole.
Booth became interested. He be.

by a window, and as he talked he
scratched his full name. John Wilkes
Booth. on one of the panes of the
window with the diamond in ring
he wore. The upshot of Booths talk
with Prather was that he invested
$4,000 in Pithole property.
THE Prather boys had bought the
holmden well for 100000 and sold
it for more than 100000. The
Homestead well. in which Booth had
his $4,000 investment, was only one
OF dozen equally large spouting
wells, grouped at Pitnole. Oil was
then 81 barrel, and the smallest
fraction of ownership in a Plthole
well was a fortune.

was shot a Thunderstorm, something
unusual at that time of year, gather.

flash of lightning and one clap of
thunder. This was not regarded with
any significance at Pithole at the
time. but subsequent revelations
clothed 1t with significance that
awed the superstitious, and startled
those who were not.

Died for Her Baby Brother.

One Of the touching stories Of the
season comes from q little town in
northern Wisconsin, where q 6-year-
old child die1 for her baby brother.
The baby had been left in the yard.
sleeping in its buggy, and the sister
had been asked to go out and see to
him. There the little girl saw a big
rattlesnake coiled at the feet Of the
infant, and, realizing the danger.
seized a broom and tired to kill the
reptile. The snake, disturbed, darted
at the little girl, coiled around the
handle of the broom. and slipped
down it, striking it's fangs into the
child's neck. The infant boy was UNI
touched, but the motherly baby sister
died in great agony.

John +. Dvorak, who was said to have
been a close friend of Bartholin after
he fed from Chicago, was wearing a
ring which was thought to have be-
longed to Minnie Mitchell. Dvorak
declared that he had received the ring
from his fiancee, Miss Lizzie Patch of
497 w. Nineteenth street, and this
statement was corroborated by Miss
Patch.

months" said Miss Patch. II never
heard him speak Bartholin's name
however, and am positive that he did
not know the man up to the last time
we were together. gave him a solid
gold ring in April and as far as I
know he still wears it. 1t resembled
an ordinary wedding ring. He gave
me diamond ring. The ring that he
still wears is undoubtedly the one
gave him.

saw his name in the newspapers IN

complete surprise to me to hear that
Mr.. Dvorak had met Bartholin in

not know anything of the letters said
to have been written to Bartholin by
some Chicago woman"
Miss Patch's statements were con.
firmed in every particular by other
members Of the family.
The latest feature in the case to
battle the police is the letter written
to Bartholin by some unknown woman
in Chicago The letter showed that
the woman knew where the murderer
was in hiding and the name which he
had assumed. Bartholin received the
letter at Riceville on Aug. %. At that
time he was working for Charles
Hoeft, farmer five miles from the
village. Hoeft, who secured the let
ter at the postofiice, says 1t was ad-
dressed in woman's handwriting.
Some days later Hoeft saw the letter
