 :. ,be Guiness-Lamphere case came
 .h,or and fast Friday evening, and
 each additional circumstance brought
 ,o light being of nature to strength
 ,n tbe charges against Ray Lamphere,
 vho is accused of first degree murder
 ,ooonse of the deaths of Mrs. Belle
 c,,nness and her three children. Lam
 .hare sent a request to his attorney,
 w H Worden. asking the latter to
 ,ond to the farm of John Wheatbrook
 sor the trunk, which Lamphere left
 ,bore when he was arrested April 2S. put before this word had reached the
 attorney the trunk had been confiscat- ad bv local authorities. It contained number of letters written by Mrs. cuinness to Lamphere after the latter had taken employment at the farm of
 John Wheatbrook, near Springville, seven miles north of this city. The eyact dates on these letters were not announced. but that they were sent WAS evidenced by the fact that Lam- nhere went to the Wheatbrook farm Feb B. 1908. The woman wrote to Lamphere urging him to return to her farm and to bring your sweet heart with you, If she has money enough" The identity of the woman is a mystery, and neither does Mrs. Guinness mention the amount deemed necessary for her reception at the Guinness home. Along with the let ters were found several woman's fin ger rings. some of which were of un- usual size, and they may have been the property of Mrs. Guinness.
 Lamphere evidenced desire to break the silence which he has kept since his arrest To a visitor to his to talk about. but my attorney oi cell he said:
 There are some things would like to talk about, but my attorney has told me to say nothing about my trou- bles to any one. But there are some things which l think might be talked about and not hurt my case any. They might even help me if they became known
 Lamphere then made the request that bis attorney be informed of his desire for clothing In the trunk at Springville Friday evening Attorney Worden went to the jail and asked to see his client. but In the absence of the sheriff he was denied admittance. He did not relish this circumstance, and producing habeas corpus papers from his pocket. he asserted that he would file them In court to compel the authorities to allow him to see his client.
 Ralph N. Smith, the prosecuting at toney, was again In conference with petecuve C. J. Smith, who was called ihlc the case. They and the sheriff's force went over the evidence collect ca during the day. including that of tue two eye-witnesses and the letters lound In Lamphere's trunk.
 feter Colson told R. N. Smith. the prosecuting attorney. that Ray Lam paere had acknowledged attempts to umckmaii Mrs. Guinness. This Is con- siuered as definitely establishing a mo- u'e TOT disagreement between Lam- pnere and the woman which resulted @ter In the burning of the farm house.
