BLOODY FARM
 OF GUINNESS
Little Additional Light On
 the Indiana Mystery
4 Suspicion That the Farm Was a Clearinghouse of Murders.

La Porte Ind, May GA possible solution of the Guinness farm mystery which deepened today when four addi- tional bodies were found in the barn yard developed this afternoon. Evi- dence that the nine dismembered oorpses unearthed yesterday and today had been shipped to this city, probably from Chicago, came to light, testimony of draymen who had carted trunks and boxes to the Guinness home bearing this out. In addition, the local author ities received information that two trunks consigned to Mrs. Belle Guin- ness" were being held at an express office in Chicago, and the assistance of the Chicago police in unraveling the puzzle was sought at once.
 Two of the nine mutilated bodies were identified in a qualified way this afternoon. Antone Olson of 2410 h. diana avenue, Chicago viewed the re- mains supposed to be those of Jennie Olsen, the sixteen year old foster daughter of Mrs. Guinness, and pro- nOunced them those of his daughter. A sister of the dead girl, Mrs Leo Olander of 2S1S South Park avenue. { added to his testimony about her sis ter's characteristics.
 A. K. Helgelin, whose inquiries re- garding his missing brother Andrew led to the first discoveries on the Guinness farm, became sure that the largest and best preserved of corpses is that of his relative. Against this, however was the evidence of an autop- sy performed on that particular body by pr. J. H. William Meyer He found contradictory conditions which his mind, at least, proved that the dead man perished long after Andrew Hel- gelin disappeared in January last, even going so far as to say that the corpse showed evidence of having been in the ground less than two weeks. A K Helgelin however. refused to be con vinced by these findings.
 Ray Lamphere, held on a charge of first degree murder growing out of tho fire which destroyed tho Guianess home atid caused the death Of Mrs Guinness end her three children. offer cd no new evidence despite repeated questioning
 Ralph M. Smith, prosecuting attor- ney for the district asserted however that confession was not necessary so far as Lamphere was concerned. "We have" said he positive evidence in the shape of letters connecting Lam phere with recent murders on the Guinness farm" The exact nature Of the letters is carefully guarded by Smith.
 An attempt to identify one of the cornses as Ole B. INdesburg. of lola. Wis., was also started by the sheriff's office here. In response to telephone messages, sent there word came to- night that member of the Rudeburg family had left there for this city. Delving into the past of Mrs. Guin- ness the local authorities find one un- explained death in the immediate family. which. they think. may shed light on the present tragedy
 Six years ago there was at the farm a, child named Swanhilda, supposed to have been the daughter of Mrs Guin- ness by her first husband. The girl was then about three years old Dr. H. H. Martin, of LaPorte was called to attend her one night, and diagnosed the case as an attack of bronchitis Three days later the child died Dr Martin, not having been called in the interim, refused a death certificate and the infant, it is said, was buried
