Edwards Says His Suspioions Have Baem Proven, HAS STORY TO TELL CHICAGO OFFICIALS Yo the Man is Greatly Worrfed Over Chicago Crime in Which His Friends Appear as Principals. “My conscicnce is clear, but my heart is almost broken,” sald Miiton L. R. Bd- wards, sitting in a Pullman car which was taking him from Den to Chicago, where he is to divuige all he knows about the murder of Mrs. Annie BE. Bartholin and Miss Minnle Mitchell, who are supposed to have been killed by Willlam Bartholin, son of Mrs. Bartholin. Mr. Bdwards 15 the man who wrote from Omaha to “Bob” Mitchell of Chicago, brother of the murderea girl, saying b believed Will Bartholin was gulity of the double tragedy and urging Mitchell to keep a lookout for the supposed criminal. This T was written before the bodies of the victims were found by some Chicago Bewspaper men. Edwards, who had been & roomer at the Bartholin home, came to Omaba and secured employment in Ar- mour’s packing house at South Omaha, but his stay was of brief duration. He the city for Denver about the time el ment of the tragedy reached its climax. In Denver he told Chiet of Police Arm. strong of his acqualntance with the part! to this aff d what his feelings were toward young Bartholin. This information ‘was dispatched to Chief O'Neil of Chicago and Edwards held himself ready to grant the request of the Chicago authorities to return and further divulge what he knew or believed concerning the murder. Chief O'Nell sent for him Wednesday night, when he left Denver and passed through Omaha at a little after 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon on the Burlington traln for Chicago. “These people were my fri is why my heart is crushed, wards, his eyes filling with tears as he re- luctantly ylelded to questions of the re. porters. Did Write to “Bob” Mitehell. I did write that letter to Bob Mitehell, saying I thought Will Bartholin had killed Bob's sister, Mfnnie, who was Bartholin's sweetheart, and his own moth Bob Mitchell and I have been friends a long time and when I read of this terrible affair in the Omaha papers I re- solved, after some deliberation, that I was in duty bound, both to my dear friend and to the state, to make a statement. I had no definite knowledge, but 1 M strong suspicions, and these suspicions been proven.” Bdwards afterward modified this state- ment regarding the proof of the suspicions, which indicated that he had expressed himself stronger than he intended. He #aid that what he meant by saying the sus- plelons were proven was that they had been confirmed (n his own mind. He de- clined to say whether or mot he bad any tourderer. A “But T must not talk about' this lll“.. Edwards impulsively remarked, “for 1 bave diligently and religlously evaded the re- porters ever since this thing came up, and it would be wrong for'me to give out what I have. to say to the authorities.

His conversation fis refined and intelligent. Motive s Unknown. ““What motive could Will Bartholin have bhad for killing his mother and sweetheart was asked Edward: “I am sure I cannot tell you, eir,” was the reply. “Did . Mrs. Bartholin possess any great amount of means? “That I cannot tell, either. You see, I only roomed at Mrs. Bartholin’s house, and before I went there to room they were strangers to me. Yet I formed very good friendships among them all, and they were aiways very pleasant with me. I had often heard the mother and her son quarreling, but mever saw any evidence of violence. I do not even know what they quarreled about. That was none of my business and 1 did not concern myself with it.” Asked if Miss Mitchell and young Bar- tholin were engaged, Edwards sal “That is something of which I know noth- ing. They seemed very fond of each other, I understand, but of thelr love affairs I have no knowledge whatever. I have heard it said they were sweethearts from child- hood. I do mot kmow.” Bartholin, said Edwards, is about 27 years of age and is a machinist by trade. Mr. Edwards expressed the most cordial respect for the manner of treatment ac- corded him by Chief Armstrong of Den- ver, but he sald bas had a lively time trylng to “keep shy” of newspaper men for the last week or s0. “I have really lost ten pounds in weight, and while it s due to some extent to worrying for my friends who are In distress, I attribute it I ly to the strenuous pace I have traveled in jumping from place to place to evade the reporters, for I did not want to talk until I could talk to officials. This is too serious & matter to be generally discussed.” Edwards’ home is in Ashland, O., but he Dbad lived for ten years or more in Chicago. He has become much Iimpressed with Omaha and Denver and thinks he will here- after make his home in the latter city, He went back te Chicago at the request and expense of the Chicago officials and was unaccompanied.

Mr. Langford left bis home in Alllance August 2, since which time his family has heard nothing from him. He was 65 vears of age, about b feet 11 inehes In height, had brown hair and mustache, tinged with gray. His eyes were blue and under the right cye was a slight scar. This description answers to the de- scription, of the dead man, with the excep- tion of the scar under the eye, which Coroner Brailey sald he failed to notice, but as the face of the dead n was black- ened and badly decom he may have overlooked it. The balance of the descrip. tion tallied with that of the body found. The body of the dead man was found in & boxcar August 8 and by its eide was a small bottle partially filled with strychnine. It Is buried at Forest Lawn cemetery, ARRANGE GRAIN REDUCTION M ng of Northwestern and Trans- continental Lines Held in St. Paul, ST.

Within & week it is expected the lines in- terested will announce the exact reductions. Some of the reductions In rates will amount to 13 and 2 gents per 100 pounds, It would make the through rate to Chicago 19% cents instead of 213% cents. It 1s & simple calculation that by a reduc- ton of half a cent a bushel on a crop of 150,000,000 bushels of wheat in the three states total of $750,000 would be saved, while the total on all gralne is expected to be $1,250,000, The proposed reduction will go into effect prior to the movement of the present crop.
