Laporte, Ind, May 12.-Evidence
to establish the identity of three ad-
dltional victims of Mrs. Belle GUM
ness was the most positive develop.
ment OF day filed with contradic.
tory happenings here today.
The new victims are supposed to
have been John Moe OF Elbow Lake,
Henry Gerhalt OF Scandinavia, Wis,

Ole b. Budsberg came; and George
Berry Of Tuscola. III.
The reports of the four physicians
who conducted the postmortem ex.
aminations on the bodies found In
the ruins of the Guinness home, April
20, were given to the coroner's Jury
today. They fail to establish the
manner In which the woman and
three children met death. and It is
probable that the coroner's jury will
return an open verdict regarding
them.
New facts brought out today con-
corning the body supposed to be that
OF Mrs. Guinness are as follows:
That the right arm Is practically
complete and that most of the left
forearm and hand are In existance.
Hitherto the complete arm had been
known as the left and the right arm
was supposed to have been complete.

hands.
That with the body had been dis
covered fragments of bed clothing
and Of feather mattress, the re-
mains OF four night dresses, the one
of an adult and the others those OF a
child. and fragments OF adult under
wear.
The rings presented puzzle which
thus far has not been solved. The In.
scriptions contain initials which are
unaccountable except upon one ny
pothysis. that being that the orna'
ments were the property OF Peter
Guinness first wife, that he presented
them TO Mrs. Guinness. or that she
obtained possession Of them after his
death, and that she wore them on the
night when the house was burned.
