OTHER CRIMES uNEARTHEp
Associated Press

Laporte, Ind. May 6.--Late this af.
ternoon undisputed evidence was pro.
cured that at least nine corpses have
been shipped from Chicago to this
place and carried to the Guinness farm.
1t is understood that the drayman who
hauled the boxes and trunks has made
complete confession. In addition
to this the police has received notice
from Chicago that two trunks con-
signed to Mrs. Guinness are being held
at the express Office in Chicago.
Lamphere VIII Not Talk.
Ray Lamphere, held on a charge
of murder in the first degree out of
the fire which destroyed the Guinness
home, causing the death of four per-
sons, offered no new evidence today,
despite repeated questioning.
Ralph N. Smith, prosecuting attor-
ney, asserted, however, that confes-
sion was not necessary so far as Lam
phere is concerned. Smith is said to
have positive evidence in the shape
of letters connecting Lamphere with
the murders on the Guinness farm. The
nature of these letters is carefully
guarded.

FOUR MORE DEAD BODIES
ARE UNEARTHED INWARD
Dead Body Found in Ruins Of Burned
Residence Was Decapitated and De-
teetIves Say IT Is Not That Of Mrs.
eunness.


Laporte, Ind, May 6.--Four more
bodies were unearthed today in the
yard of the home of Mrs. Belle Gun.
ness, making a total of nine thus dis.
inferred, and marking the perpetra-
tor of this series of crimes as the
arch murderer of the century.
The four bodies unearthed today
were buried in gunny sacks under two
feet of earth and were badly dismem-
bered and decomposed.
Detectives employed on the case,
Including some of the shrewdest Sc
cret service men in the country, ex-
pressed the opinion today that Mrs
Guinness, whose charred body was
supposed to have been found in the
ruins of her burned home on April
20, is not dead, but that she is now
on her way to Norway.
The body of the woman found in
the ruins of the burned building had
been beheaded, and the detectives say
that she was killed by Mrs. Guinness
to throw the detectives off the track
and to shield the real perpetrator OF
the several crimes.
The. neighbors residing in the vi.
cinity of the Guinness home tell strange
stories of many men who have lived
in the house for a few days, suddenly
to disappear. The detectives believe
that they were lured into the place
by matrimonial advertisements insert
ed in the newspapers by Mrs. Guinness
and by letters which she wrote to them
claiming to be wealthy and anxious
to marry. They believe that they we've
robbed and murdered by the woman
and her accomplices.
Stories are also told of numerous
large trunks arriving at the house
late at night and the detectives are
convinced that these contained dead
bodies shipped from Chicago by ac
completes of the woman. These
bodies, they believe, were buried on
the premises.
