IA DEAD ARE
| FOUND ON THE
GUINNESS farm
Body Of Helgelein Shows He
| Died After Terrific
Struggle
Handful Of Hair F0und in
His Grasp. -SiGkeniRg
| Details

Laporte, Ind, May 1.-THE GUM
ness farm failed to reveal new
today, but some excellent
progress was made in solving the
puzzles already involved in the
homestead which has witnessed the
tragic deaths of at least fourteen
persons A series of heavy showers
made exxcavating impossible.
DR.. J. H. William Meyers sent to
the coroner his findings resulting
from the autopsies of the bodies sup
posed to be those of Andrew Hedge
1ein of Mansfield, S. D., and Jennie
Olson, foster daughter of Mrs. Belle
Guinness, who disappeared in 1906.
Dr. Meyers reported that mass of
hair had been found in the clenched
fist of Hegelein and that the fingers
grasping it had been severed above
the first phalanx.
Charles Way, pallbearer at the
funeral of Peter S. Guinness, told of
how the widow had been absent from
the ceremonies preceding the burial
of her husband, and asserted that it
was subsequently, learned that she
had been in Laporte consulting an
attorney regarding her possible ar
rest on charge of having killed her
husband
William Brogski, who formerly
worked on the Guinness farm, told
of having dug several bitches at her
request. He said that she told him
that the holes were to be used for
burial of rubbish and refuse.
DR.. Meyers report of the bodies of
Helgelein and Miss Olsen formed the
most interesting chapter of the days
developments at the coroner's Office.
Both, the doctor declared, met I'M
natural deaths, but in the case of the
young woman the condition of the
corpse precluded any possibility OF
determining the manner in which
she was murdered.
Helgelein's body, however, had
been in the ground only few
months at the most, and it gave evil
dence of a terrific death struggle,
| The clenched hand which contained
| the hair had been mutilated and the
other hand had been severed at the
, wrist. On this body, the official re.
port says: ''1t is evident that the
man died an unnatural death, but al
whose hands, or how, cannot be de
termined by the examination 81
far The hair in the hand is likely
from the head of his murderer, or the
stomach may show what poison, il
any, killed him."
DR.. Mack, coroner, said that he had
not decided whether or not to send
the stomach of Helgelein away fol-
examination by chemical analysis.
The sheriff and other county Off
Gals were again in conference this
evening.
At the conclusion of their meet
ing it was announced that tn
case of Ray Lamphere probably will
be taken up by grand jury Wednes
day. Some thirty witnesses are to b.
called before the inquistorial body b,

FOREIGNERS INVITED
TO ATTEND HANGING
ARE GIVEN OBJECT LESSON IN
PUNISHMENT
Five Hundred Russians See Young
Pole Executed for Murder of
Mother and Child Six
Months Ago

BY Associated Press
PoTTSVILLE, Pa, May 26.-In order
that they might impress their country
men with the enormlty of the crime of
murder and the terrible punishment
that the law of this country calls for, a
large number of Slavs, Hungarians,
Poles, Italians, Russians, Lithuanians
and other foreigners were invited to
Radius, young Pole convicted of the
murder of a woman and her child at
Shenandoah six months ago.
Five hundred Russians were in the
prison yard to witness the hanging, the
sheriff having distributed tickets lib
orally on his theory that the story of
the execution told from the lips of the
foreigners will have a salutary effect
in curbing murderous tendencies.
just before leaving his cell for the
scaffold Radius made a confession of
the Shenandoah murder, and acknowl-
edged having committed a murder in
Russian Poland. He appeared to be
greatly relieved after admitting his
crimes and walked with a firm step be-
tween the two priests to his death.
Radius was boarder at the home
of Mrs. Mary Cherkoski and was denied
admittance to the house when he came
home in an intoxicated state.
The next morning he sent the wo-
mans 7-year-old daughter on an errand
and cut the mothers throat with her
husbands razor, Her 4-year-old son
followed her and to stop his CRYING
Radius murdered him.

LIGHT TACKLE EXPERT
LANDS HEAVY SEA BASS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
AVALON. May 26.--Sea bass were
running good this afternoon and a
number OF fine catches were reported.
The natives are at a loss to account
for the plentitude of this variety of
the finny tribe, and say such an album
dance was never before known.
Samuel A. Barron of Mexico City, an
ardent lover of the sport, performed a
feat with a light tackle equipment that
is, so Tar as can be learned, without a
parallel, when he took a forty-pound
white sea bass off Pebbly Beach this
morning.
Barron was using a tackle known as
the three six" which is six foot
rod weighing exactly six ounces, and
a six thread line.
From the time of hooking the prize
until it was brought to "gaff" was a
fraction over twenty minutes, during
which Barron used all arts known to
anglers to prevent the fish breaking
the line and getting away.
fie is the first man to land such a
fish with an extremely light tackle.
and is entitled to prize from the
Catalina Light Tackle club.
Barren is an enthusiastic follower of
the rod and reel. His performance of
today places him at the head of all ex-
pert anglers and in class by himself.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON
ADDRESSES STUDENTS
SAYS PROGRESS IS OPPOSED
BY TWO DANGERS
Declares Federal Government Has
Tendency to Capitalization OF
Power--cslls Predatory
Wealth Menace
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press. >
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, May 26.-Gov-
ernor John A. Johnson of Minnesota
was the principal speaker of the day
before the Alumni association at the
commencement exercises at the state
university at Tuscaloosa. His subject
was Landmarks of American liberty"
In beginning his description of the
various landmarks of American liberty
said, should not be delegated to the
discovery of America because, he said,
American liberty was Graded in the
German wilderness. Anglo-Saxon free
dom had come down through centuries
to the popular assemblies which decide
the issues of peace IN the American
government today. He said that the
great fact which stands out sharply and
clearly throughout the history of Euro
pean immigration to America is DOM
inant and universal aspiration for free
dom.
Governor Johnson declared the pro-
gress of the republic is opposed by two
dangers. One is a tendency of the fed
eral government to a Capitalization of
power and the assumption of sovereign
powers not delegated to it by the con-
Stitution, and belonging to the state
and to the people. The other is the
power of centralized and predatory
wealth fostered by special privileges
defiant of both the public welfare and
the law of the land.
1.-The inherent powers of republic" he
said, "should not be delegate dto the
federal government, but should reside
in the state and the people. They are
the original sources of sovereignty and
yet the present administration main
tains the doctrine of inherent sover-
eighty in the government. Today the
government of the United States denies
the existence of the constitution and
its immunity to our islands.
"Shall we have a sovereign govern
ment or sovereign states and also SOW
ereign people? Shall this republic, or
ganized on the principles of the declara-
ton of independence and under the
provision of the constitution, desert Its
cause and produce an. imitation of an
old-word empire. or shall 1t remain
true to the principles of American man.
hood and shape its destinies by the
landmarks of progressive American lib
erty? Shall we go back to the institu-
lions and principles from which our
fathers fled, or shall we stand by those
of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln,
and maintain the integrity of the re-
public?"
