La Porte, Ind, May 12.-Evidence to es- tablish the identity of three additional vic- tins of Mrs. Belle Gunness was the most positive development of a day filled with contradictory happenings here today.
 Both prosecution and defense received setbacks from the discoveries and revela- tions, but on the whole substantial pro- gress was made toward bringing the case to the stage where it will be transferred to the courts.
 The reports of the four physicians who conducted the post mortem examinations on the bodies found in the ruins of the Guinness home April "A were given to the coroner's jury this morning. They fail to establish the manner in which the woman and her three children met death, and it is probable that the coroner's jury will return an open verdict regarding them.
 Prosecutor R. N. Smith is still collecting evidence which he asserts will connect Ray Lamphere with the deaths of Mrs. Guinness and her three children, and in this work he is being aided by the sheriff and the Pinkerton operatives whom the latter has called in helpers.
 Lamphore's Case.
 It is possible that the case against Lam phere may be presented to the grand jury before the coroner's jury reaches de- ciSion in the matter.
 The reports made to the coroner's jury today by Drs. J. L, Gray, H. H. Long, J. H. William Meyer and F. T. Wilcox revealed several circumstances, the exis- tence of which will be carefully guarded from public knowledge. This is particu- 1arly true of the document signed by Dr. Gray, and having to do with the adult body supposed to be that of Mrs. Gum ness.
 The news as brought to light concern ing the body Is as follows:
 That the right arm is not complete and most of the left forearm and hand are in existence. Hitherto the complete arm had been shown as the left and the right arm was supposed to have been completely consumed in the fire.
 That three rings two containing in scr1ptions, had been found on the hands
 Fragments Discovered.
 That with tho body had been discov- cred fragments of bed clothing and of a feather mattress the remains of four night dresses, one of an adult and the others those of child, and fragments of adult underwear.
 Sigwald Olsen said that Mrs. Gunness' maiden n. me was "Paulsen" or ''Pol- sen' He Said that she had no middle name, and that he had never heard of nickname.
 The rings presented a puzzle which thus far has not been solved. The in scriptions contained initials which are unaccountable, except upon one hypothe- sis. that being that the ornaments were the property of Peter Gunness first wife and that he presented them to Mrs Gun ness, or that she obtained possession of them after his death and that she wore them on the night that the house was burned.
 The new victims of Mrs. Guinness are supposed to have been John Moe of El- bow Lake, Minn.; Henry Gerhalt of Scan dnavia wis, small town near Tola, from which Ole B. Budsberg came, and George Brady of Tuscola, III. The evil dence that these three were victims of Mrs. Guinness is somewhat indefinite.
