',' . ; -"r Inspector Hunt,' who .has. ben,. laboring with; Thompson for days, thought for1 a moment that the solution of the wj.yst.ery was pouring from Thompson's Tips,' but tbe next moment he realized that. Thomp son was 'endeavoring to berpetrate a Joke. Ia making the bogus confession Thomp son said: "Yes, Bartholin made ma go to tbe laun dry barn and get the wagon that Wednes day night. He made me bring It to the house at 4310 CaJuraot avenue and back It up -to the curb. - Thfeh Bartholin came out of the house carrying, a. mysterious bundle. He put it 4n the .itagen. Then we drove to the EngUwood ptalrle-and hid the bundle In the weeds. You'.hsWbeen telling me to tell you ' that .and ' a4jiHt it la the truth. You have told) tae.i Uw -eeme stories day after day and have pressed me to confess that they are true. I will tell you that all these things happened but. Inspector Hunt, I will also state to you that every word 1 have spoken Is false. Everything I have told' you Is a deliberate falsehood." The bogus confession came Just at the very moment when a confession was ex pected and Inspector Hunt was greatly dis appointed. ' After Thompson waa returned to his cell Inspector-Hunt said: "I believe that .strange confession Is Thompson's last card, and that he will tell a terrible story before long." , Another Link la the Caala.

After pro. eeedlng 'leisurely 'to Brrtyelgbth and Bute streets the heree waa turned Into Btate street' and given his head. Slowly he amMetf along to within 'its feet of the spot where Minnie Mitchell's body waa found. There he stopped and nibbled a bunoh of grass growing along the aide of the road. Then, turning a halt-circle, he crossed the road and stopped-at a point directly In front of where the police had found a pair of bloody cuffs on the prairie a few feet from the road, 'which are believed to have belonged to Bartholin. At this point the driver turned the horse about and he crossed Seventy-fourth street and sfopped' at a point -- where-. Minnie Mitchell's shoe had been previously picked up. From this point the horsey leisurely took his way south until within a few feet of Sevscty-flfth" street, where he, turned abruptly and retraced his steps, '.stopping about, twenty feet north of Seventy fourth street and about 450 feet north of where the body waa found.

An attempt to wring, a confession from Thompson by putting him la '.the "sweat box" it is expected will result: In a state ment that this horse and, wagon were used to convey the body cf Minnie Mitchell to the lonely fluid at Seventy-fourth and State streets. For several hours this morning Inspector Hunt tried every device known to him to induce the prisoner to throw some light ou the mystery. All night a "stool pigeon" had been In -Thompson's cell, but nothing was learned. The prisoner paced his cell sleeplesaly In a nervous frenxy. Ia answer to the Inspector's queries today he said that he had no recolectlea of what-he did the supposed" night of tbe Mitchell murder, lie remembered baring eaten bis supper and that the next morvtng be 'fed the dog. The Interval, however,' had been a blank. Thompson said thaf Edwards, one of Mrs. Bartholin's roomers was a doctor and might have "doped" blur".

Duke Boris of Russia, son of Grand Duks Vladimir, ceusin of the etar and fourth in line of succession to the Russlsn throne, waa In Omaha for a brief period last night. In company with a staff of prominent civil and military officials of the Russian govern ment, the duke passed through the city enroute from San Francleco, where he landed on American soil in bis tour around the world. Tbe party reached Omaha at 11:10 on the Union Pacific Overland limited and left within a few minutes tor Chicago over the Northwestern. Duke Borla and his party are on an eleven months' leave of absence, having left St. Petersburg October 7. 1901, and they will arrive there November 7, next, provided they make schedule time. Their Itinerary will have Included every continent on the globe. They spent a large amount ot their time In the Orient, visiting through Japan, in which country Russia just now feels a deep concern. They will remain about a month longer In the United States, spending three or four days' in Chicago and about three weeks in. New. York. They sail then for the European continent, but will not visit England. Besidea tbe duke his party Is made up of these celebrities: Le Chevalier de Schaeck, hia "private kecretary, who was formerly secretary to the dUke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; Lleutenanta Alexandre de Frlder iacl; A. ' Greaves, Strandsmsn, : officers of the Fourth battalion of the Imperial' Fam ily sharpshooters, with the exception of the secretary; C.

The pres ent heir apparent to the throne Is Grsnd Duke Michael, elder brother of Grand Duke Vladimir, father ct Boris. This places Vlad imir In second plsce for the cxar"s crowa, with Duke Cyrelle, elder brother of Borla, third and Boris fourth. Duke Boris does not look the part of a ciar just at present, nor does ha seem to be whlllng awsy any of life'a happy period anticipating' hia accession. He bears hia 13 yeara with no unusual dignity, although there kt a Certain decorum about his general demeanor whloh might mark him as a. roy allat. His manner of speech and action I quick, sharp, almost abrupt. In appear ance he is aomewhat prepossessing. The'duka converses' in about seven or eight 'languages, but 'still csnnot be on aidared a very talkative man. He ia pas sionately fond of cards. When asked about the reports that he lost, a fabuloua sum of money in a game on a ateamer enroute from the Orient to San ' Francisco, he be- .uw.BUMui. muu vurnjr rrpaieu: "It's a lie. There' la not the least truth In that report, and I am amated that It anouid ever have been circulated." Duka Borla manifested great Interest in me uancnurian question,, when he eald: "The Russian government and the Rua alan people regard Manchuria now as part oi tneir own territory and government. We look upon that matter ss .fully and rightly settled and we are naturally delighted at th 'outcome. ' Great 'da.nger Waa threatened for a while, if outside -reports could have been taken ae--any criterion; 'but to ai Russia there waa little real apprehension.

"Why, that cable from San Francisco to Manila la a great thing tor tha czar'a coun try.

It's a great thing, that cable.
