Defense Trying to Prove
Alibi, Also That Deaths
We're by Poison

LaPorte, Ind, Nov. %. The trial
Of Ray Lamphere for the murder of
Mrs. Belle Guinness and her three
small children is drawing to close.
Another day will see the evidence
all in, unless something unforeseen
happens tomorrow. DR.. Walter s..
Haines Of Chicago will take the stand
early tomorrow afternoon, according
to calculations, to testify as to the
finding of strychnine and arsenic in
the stomachs Of Mrs. Guinness and
two Of the children.
AS the case now stands the de-
fense has introduced evidence to
show that Mrs. Guinness was alive on
July 8, more than two months after
the fire in which the state contends
sic persisted. The defense has also
offered evidence to show that the
fire was seen before the hour aIleg-
ed by the state that Lamphere left
the Smith residence, thereby laying
ground for an alibi.
Then, too, the defense has offered
evidence to show that Mrs. Guinness
was SO harrassed by Lamph here, Hell
|geline and others that she committed
suicide after setting fire to the house
herself. Lamphere. according to to-
attorneys, will not go on the stand.
Neither will Mrs. Elizabeth Smith,
the colored woman at whose house
Lamphere spent the night, be used
as a witness, according to present
plans.
After finding that no person Of the

Field MARSHAL Roberts Makes
Sensational Speech to

London. Eng, Nov. 233. Speaking.
In the house Of lords tonight, Field
1 Marshal Lord Roberts expressed the
conviction that the lack Of d military
force sufficient to make hopeless an
attempt at invasion would in all pro-
liability be the cause of the loss Of
Great Britain's supremacy Of the.

In a studied speech he pointed out
the comparative ease with which.
Germany could land an army on the
shores Of England Under the pres
ent conditions, England would be
forced, he said, to submit to the most
humiliating demands
He disclaimed all hostility to or
fear Of Germany, but he declared the
defense Of the islands demands i Inn
mediate attention There should be
an army so strong in numbers and
4 of such efficient quality that the
most formidable of foreign nations
would hesitate to make a landing
iii England He had been assured,
the speaker continued that trans
ports capable of acommoda ating 200,-
900 men always were available in
the northern ports of Germany, and
that as a result Of the new German
! service law 900 men could be
collected in the districts OF the near
est ports without any trouble. The
great German steamships. he said,
were in constant practice In embark
Ing and disembarking and as a res
nit the actual dispatch of troops
could be carried out with the utmost
secrecy.
Germany was perfectly aware, the
field marshal went ON, that it would
be essential for her transports to
evade the British fleet and she could
easily detract attention by small
raids while the main Decentralization
was proceeding undisturb bed.

on the seriousness Of such statements

there might be regrettable conse-
uuenees.
