OF the seven unidentified dead ex-
humed from Mrs. Guinness private
burial ground, was completed Mon
day evening and revealed the fact,
according to the reports of Drs. W.
l.. Wilcox and George R. Osborne.
who conducted the autopsies under
the direction of Coroner Mack, that
one OF the seven was a woman. This
has aroused new interest in the story
OF Emil Greening, of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, who was employed by
Mrs. Guinness in the fall of 1903.
Greenipg worked for Mrs. Guinness
at the time that Jennie Olsen disap,
peared and his story was to the eff
feet that on a certain day in Septem-
Der man and woman came to the
house and that Mrs. Guinness asked
Greening to sleep in the barn, for the
couple, who, she said, were the pro
lessor and his wife from Los Angeles
college which Jennie was to attend,
would spend the night at the house
and would require Greetings bed
room In the morning Greening saw
nothing of Jennie nor the man and
woman and was informed by Mrs.
Guinness that they had left on an
early train, taking Jennie along.
This body, which is now declared
to be that of a woman, was taken
from the same hole as was that f
Jennie Olsen.
In that hole also were the bodies
of Ole Budsberg, of lola, Wis, and
the remains OF male person. All
the bodies were dismembered. but
the trunks OF the four were such that
it was possible to identify the bodies
OF Jennie Olsen and Budsberg, and
it made possible by Mondays autop-
sizes to determine that one of the
other two was female The theory
now advanced is that Mrs. Guinness
may have on the same night, the
night Greening slept in the barn, muir
dered not only Jennie Olsen, but also
the man and woman.
The stomachs OF the four victims
in this hole have been removed and
the contents will be analysed for
traces OF poison. The disappearance
of Jennie Olsen, as we'll as the couple,
occurred in September, 1906, while
Budsberg was disposed of in May,
1907.
The mystery surrounding the watch
on the person of Ray Lamphere when
he was arrested was cleared when J.
c. Ramden, of Manfred, N. D., who
came to LaPorte Sunday to investi-
gate the disappearance OF his half
brother, John Moe, of Elbow Lake,
identified the timepiece as the one
owned by his brother when he left
home. The numbers of the watch
corresponded with the numbers in
Noes possession Lamphere said
Mrs. Guinness gave him the watch.
Mr. Ramden is positive that his
brother was murdered by Mrs Gun
ness. but he was not able to identify
any of the remaining skeletons so
will not be able TO provide for burial
for his borther. The bodies of the
sc ven unidentified dead were buried
Tuesday in the potter's field Chris
tian services were conducted over
them and small stone will be erect
ed with an inscription telling the cir
of their death The tbody
of Jennie Olsen has been turned over
to the relatives. Budsberg's body was
Monday shipped to lola, Wis, for
burial.
Coroner Mack is still holding the
DOulCS Vi tliC iOuI pSlSOHS WHO iOot
their lives in the fire, and which, &C
cording to evidence produced, are the
bodies of Mrs. Guinness and her three
children. They will be held until Cor
oner Mack files his formal verdict
The understanding is that all OF the
verdicts will be open ones, no cause
of death being assigned
Threats against the life of Prose-
cutor Smith continue to be made.
Monday he received another letter
similar to the one received last week.
Both were postmarked Brooklyn, N.
Y He is advised to resign his Office
under penalty of death.
The LaPorte grand jury Monday
