CHICAGO, Sept. (.The body of a man
thought to be William Bartholin, murderer
of hla mother and aweetheart in Chicago
six weeka ago, waa found today In a field
near Lowther, la., 890 miles from Chicago.
A bullet hole In the bead and a revolver
on the ground beside the body showed bow
the bunted fugitive had died. In the
pocket of tbe man's coat waa a letter con
fessing to the murder ot the twV women In
Chicago.
Lettera signed "Minnie Mitchell," tbe
name of Bartholin'a murdered fiancee, also
were found In tho suicide's pocket.
The body waa found In a flax field, aix
miles from Rlcevllle. Tba discovery
waa at once reported to the town
authorltlea and the body waa removed to
Rlcevllle. There It waa recognised aa that
ot a man who had been In the locality for
aome time. A number of persons recalled
that the atranger had been aeen around the
town tor several daya. To aome who had
talked with him he gave tbe name of "Wil
liam." To others he said he waa William
Boscoe. At a hotel he registered aa "Ed
wards." He disappeared a week ago today
and It ia presumed that It waa then that be
took bla Ufa In despair of eluding the po
lice and In terror of being captured.
The town authorltlea at once noticed the
resemblance the body bore to the desctip
tlon of the Chicago fugitive which Inapector
Hunt of Chicago had aent to every town
within 800 mllea of Chicago. U waa then
that a more careful examination waa made
of the body and the note confessing to the
murders waa found. Tbe town authorltlea
buried the body, but it will be exhumed to
remove any doubt that may be raised aa to
the Identity of tbe suicide.
Bartholin'a note referred to 'he two tour
dera In Chicago and declared ihat no one
except himself waa concerned in the com
