Jag Gathered in at
East Chicago.

East Chicago, Ind, May 12.-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-THE police of East Chicago had
a novel experience yesterday and ran
across their first coke" fend.
The man was well dressed, refined
looking and was thought to be crazy
from his actions when the police ar
rested him. After he had been in the
jail long enough to sober up from the
effects of the drug he had taken, it was
learned that he was a reporter for a
Chicago newspaper.
The police did not prefer any charges
against him, believing that he had suf-
fered enough.

have been found in the ruins
The one remaining question, that of
whether she had assistance in her
crimes, is to be met by the action that
is expected almost hourly.
Lamphere Knows Facts.
The arrival at this point has been
preceded by hunt for minutiae. only
rumors of which have been made pub
i lie. Here and there bits of evidence
have leaked out, but the great array
| of facts, it is said was secured from
statements made by Ray Lamphere, the
former hired man, who blackmailed the
Guinness woman through the possession
of knowledge concerning her dark Sc
| crets.
| He has not been "sweated" at any
time. No attempt at the third de-
gree" has been made. but 1t is from
his utterances that the chain of testi-
mony has been forged.
/ The chief agent in securing the con-
! f1dence of the prisoner has been a min
lister, the Rev. E. A. Schel, pastor of
the First Methodist church. Ever
since the first day of the prisoners in
generation the clergyman has been a
visitor at his CELL For hours at time
he has been locked in with the man
who might carry the secret with him
to the gallows.
Rely on Clergyman.
Upon the reports of the clergyman
the investigators have builded their
hopes. All that Lamphere told him has
not been revealed, but enough of his
admissions to give the framework upor
which the crucial decision has beer
reached became public today.
According to his statements, shortly
before June 81, 1907, Mrs. Guinness stop
ped him on the street and asked hin
If he could go to her farm and do some
carpentering and other general work
He accepted her offer and on that date
began his work repairing a floor in the
house.
On the first night their relations
passed to a stage of intimacy, and i
was not long before his room wal
changed from the lean-to at the rea
of the house to chamber opposite t
, that of the widow. and she made t,
him a proposal Of marriage.
She urged that this step be takel
as soon as possible, but that it mus
be preceded by his having his life in
; sured.
This aroused no suspicion in Lam
phere's mind. but his delay in acting
upon her suggestion caused Mrs. Gun
ness to order him to his former bed
chamber in the rear of the house. 1
| was about this time, somewhere nea
, Jan. 4, that he discovered that Hedge
lein had come to be one of the house.

PER, DISCUSS THE QUESTION.
WheeIlnn Realster.


Just how many and what amend
ments the governor thinks ought
to be made to that much abus-
ed instrument can only be guessed
at, but one Of the results of the broad
wording of the executive proclamation
is the appearance upon the legislative
boards of the prohibition amendment,
designed to let the people declare next
November that henceforth West vir-
ginia shall be dry state; that is, that
no intoxicating beverages shall any
more to manufactured, sold or kept
within her boundaries.
Ordinarily the average voter would
laugh at the idea of West Virginia
legislature, assembled in special ses-
sion to correct the road tax law. TAX
ing up question SO vital and far
reaching as this, but now 1t must be
remembered that the prohibition wave
has for the last few years been rising
SO rapidly that it has recently swept
several States completely off their
feet, SO IT is not impossible that our
own assembly might lose its head. and
do something on the spur of the mo-
ment that the people would have cause
to regret for many years to come.
Let US hope. however, that the leg
islature will remember that at the
time of its election the prohibition
question was not at all discussed as a
State issue. that probably it was not
even thought of by the vast body of
voters when they made out their bal
lots on the members who are now ask
ed to pronounce a snap Judgment on
question that most people would
have said was not In the province of
