the turning over of the body by Coro-
ner Mack to the relativese i'm Chicago
puts the official stamp of identifica-
ttion upon one of the bodies found on
the Guinness farm regarding which
there has been much controversy. Al
though identified by her brother and
sister. many refuse to believe that the
girl was dead, for the reason that Mrs.
Guinness had made IL point to inform
81 number of persons that Jennie had
gone to Los Angeles to attend school
and had arranged little incidentals that
would help 10 make this point strong
with people who might be inQuisitiVe

reports that the girl had actually been
sent away and was not among the dead
I'm the little graveyard, a letter was
received saying that girl answering
her description had been seen in a con-
vent near Los Angeles. This story was
believed by some for a time but the
authorities, who found nothing to sub
stantiate it. at no time doubted that
Jennie was one of the victims of het
foster-mother.
The grand jury resumed it's sessions
today. The seven unidentified bodies,
one female and the others males, eX-
humed from Mrs. Guinness barn yard,
We're today buried in the potter's field.
Prosecuting Attorney r. n. Smith
today said that Ray Lamphere will not
be tried before September l.
Prosecutor Smith admitted that in as
much as so many people believe that
Mrs Guinness is still alive, he expected
to experience much difficulty in prov
ing that she was murdered by Lamp
here.
