ARGUMENTS IN LAMPHfRE
CASE TO Be MADE TODAY
important Testimony introduced BY 4
Chicago Physician.

LAPORTE, Ind, Nov. 24.-The evil
dence is all in and the courts instruc.
lions to the jury are being prepared,
and tomorrow the attorneys will make
their argument in the trial Of Ray
Lamphere for the alleged murder 81
Mrs. Belle Guinness and her three
children. 1t is expected that the
judges instructions to the jury will
be prepared before 8 o'clock tomor-
row when the arguments will begin.
Today's session Of the circuit court
lasted less than two hours. DR.. Wal
ter Haines, Of Rush Medical college,
Chicago, was called to the stand by
the defense upon c%onvening Of court
this afternoon. He testified that on
May q, 1908, he received from Coro-
ner Mack Of Laporte three sealed jars,
in one Of which was the stomach Of
Andrew Helgelein, in another were
three stomachs and in the third the
contents Of another stomach.
DR.. Haines testified that he found
arsenic and strychnine In the Hedge
lein stomach. He said that he exam
ined a third Of the stomach and found
one-third Of a grain Of strychnine. Al
together there must have been three
times as much poison as would be
necessary to cause death.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1908-11-27

The witness vas then asked regard
ing the three stomachs in one lar.
These were the stomachs taken from
the bodies Of Mrs. Guinness and two
Of the children.
He said:
The stomachs had almost u to
gether, SO the material was like thick
mud. A few abres of the original wall
were observed. The only analysis
was by using them all together I
found an abundance OF arsenic and 4
quantity OF strychnine. There was
enough strychnine to have caused the
death OF three persons. It was i'm
possible to tell whether the poison
originally was in one. two or all Of
the stomachs."
On cross-examination Dr.. Haines
stated that he could not say that the
three persons whose stomachs he had
analysed had died from strychnine
poisoning. He said:
The poison found in the stomach
after death is not usually the poison
which caused death, for that has been
absorbed and has gone to the remote
arteries OF the body
He said he could not say whether
the poison had been introduced into
the stomach before or after death.

road to be constructed" declared a
prominent Milwaukee OFFICIAL who
was in Billings yesterday on his re.
turn from western Montana.
"The intention of the company to
build this branch is common talk and
from what I gathered the surveys
have already been made.
1T seems that the Milwaukee is n
tous to get some Of the business,
which originates in this section and
also to be able to place the coal from
its mines on the Billings market, be
lieving that Billings is destined to
make great strides in q m%anufactur-
ing way and thus have a big demand
Tor fuel in the near future.
Il have it from good authority that
1t is the intention Of the company to
build this railroad just as soon as 1t
has It's coast extension completed and
as It has advertised that 1t will have
trains running to the coast by July /
1 am inclined to think that the pros
poets Of trains running on a branch
of the Milwaukee into Billings inside
Of Is months and probably inside 81
one year are excellent.
TT is the understanding Of the con.
tractors to whom I talked that the
branch to Billings will be extended to
Yellowstone National park, going up
the saltwater river to the vicinity OF
Cooke City and opening 4 rich, but
undeveloped country"
It has been generally conceded that
the branch from Roundup to billings
would be built as was stated In The

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Closing his
testimony today in the Federal suit to
dissolve the Standard OIL company,
John D. Rockefeller threw some I'M
expected light on the popular question
into which channels or investment
flowed his tremendous earnings from
the oil combination.
Mr.. Rockefeller was loath to state
the names Of the railroads in which
his investments were made, but did
SO after, entering his objection. The
head of the Standard declared that his
holdings in railroads consisted chiefly
in bonds and that with the exception
of a few roads in which he held only
small amounts Of stocks he preferred
the bonds as a form Of investment.
Mr.. Rockefeller's appearance on the
witness stand today will likely be his
last in any court proceeding. He apr
peared greatly delighted that his long
ordeal as a witness was over and hur-
riedly left the room when counsel e
cused him.
Mr.. Rockefeller said he did not
think that he should be made to tell
the form Of Investments, declaring
that the gentlemen over there in the
stock exchange might not think 1t
very wise.
After some legal contention by coun-
sci for Mr.. Rockefeller he said he
held stock in the Delaware. Lackawan.
