woman, believed to be Mrs Bella GUM

CHICAGO. May S.--A dispatch from
La Porte, Ind, says; Mrs. Bella GUM
ness who at the back door of her farm |
house kept a private graveyard, from |
which ten bodies have been unearthed, |
is alive Careful measurements were |
taken of the headless trunk of the
woman found in the ruins of the burn |
ed home, which at first was thought to !
be the body of Mrs. Guinness This
resulted in the astounding revelation
that the dead woman was not more
than half the size or weight Of the
siren who Is supposed to have lured a
score of men to their death.
In addition TO the convincing testi-
mony of the tape, half dozen of the
most intimate friends Of Mrs GUM
ness asserted with the postyeness OF
absolute conviction that the dead body
was not that of the mistress Of the cas-
tie of death on the McClung road.
LA PORTE Ond), May S.-Deyelop-
ments I'm the Guinness murder case
came thick and fast today. The pre-
mature announcement by Coroner
Mack that two bodies had been discov-
cred only served to increase the rush
of curiosity seekers The scraps OF
humanity were found in the barnyard,
which had already given up nine ca
davers, and were discovered under cir
cumstances similar to those which pre-
vailed Tuesday and Wednesday, About
four feet below the surface the exca-
vators encountered bits of bone and
burlaping, and few strokes of the
spades and hoes revealed the skull,
decomposed torso and leg and arm
bones
The body was by far the least pre-
served Of any OF the ten grewsome re-
lies. In addition to the usual traces or
lime, the evidences were that less
skillful hand had accomplished the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the corpse. Moth
ing but iumbled heap Of decayed
flesh and crumbing bones was left TO
indicate the identity OF the person. 1t
was thought however, that the body
was that OF a woman, as a pair Of
women's oxford shoes and the metal
frame of wOmans purse were found

HAD WOMAN'S RINGS IN TRUNK.
Each additional circumstance brought
, TO light Is Of a nature to strengthen
the charges against Ray Lamphere'
who Is accused of frst-degree murder
because Of the death of Mrs. Belle
Guinness and her three children.
Lamphere today sent request to his
attorney, II. w. Worden, asking the
y latter to send to the farm of, John
, Wheatbroolt for the trunk which
Lamphere left there when he was ar
rested April 28th. But before this word
= had reached the attorney the trunk
[ had been COnfisCated by the loca
i authorities It contained a number OF
e letters written by Mrs. Guinness tc
@ Lamphere after the latter had taker
n employment at the farm Of JOIN
Wheatbrook, near Springville, sever
miles north of this city. The exac
dates on these letters were not an
nounced, but that they we're recent Il
evidenced by the fact that Lampher
went TO the WheatbroOk farm Febru
J. AIRY 3, 1908. The woman wrote to Lam

y farm, and TO bring your sweethear
