TO REPEAT LAMPHERE's STORY
Pastor to Confront Defendant in
Guinness Murder Trial.

LAPORTE, Ind, November 16.-Dr. T..
A. Schell, president of Iowa WESLEYAN
University at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, but
pastor of the First NJ. f. Church of this
city at the time of Ray Lamphere's ar
rest. is expected to come to Laporte this
week to confront the defendant in the
Guinness murder trial and repeat on the
witness stand the discriminating stories
which Lamphere is said to have told the
clergyman. That Lamphere during the
first days of his Incarceration told much
of a damaging nature to DIR. Schell when
DR.. Schell visited him is known.
Just how much the prisoner admitted
only DR.. Schell, Prosecutor Smith and
Lamphere himself know. When asked if
Dr.. Schell was coming, Prosecutor Smith
smiled and said that he was not quite
ready to answer that question.
Mrs. William Flynn, who was a neigh
Dor of Mrs. Guinness, and who identified
the dead woman's rings, was the first wit
ness today. Her crOss-eXamination was
conducted by Attorney Worden. Prose-
cutor Smith has evidence of a docu-
mentary nature and a few witnesses to
fill in the testimony of those who gave
evidence in support of the contention that
Mrs. Guinness is dead, after which he will
take up the question of the motive which
is supposed to have caused Lamphere to
set fire to the Guinness home. This will
be followed by evidence tending to prove
that Lamphere set fire to the place.
