THE GUINNESS CASE.
The Coroner Has Not Yet Made His
 Report.


 Laporte, Ind, May 20. = Louis Schultz, the expert miner, found in the ashes of the Gunness house the upper and lower bridges, containing what the officials here pronounce the false teeth of Mrs. Belle Gunness, who, it is thought, murdered dozen persons. The lower set of teeth tally exactly with the description and diagram fur nished by Dr. I. r. Norton, the dentist who built the bridge and who identi- fled the teeth positively as those of Mrs. Guinness. In view of the unmis- takable evidence, Coroner Mack stated that he would probably render an off cial finding that the burned adult fe- male body was that of Mrs. Guinness.
 Dr. Norton, who built the lower bridge, said
 'The upper jaw was probably bridg- ed in Chicago, but the work done in the lower jaw I can positively identify as that done by me about year ago. At that time l made lower anterior
 
 six dummies and two crowns for the two remaining teeth, making a total of eight teeth, and swung them from the lower two cuspids. The gold in the rear of the crowns was of solid IS carat and bears my private style of workmanship, thus eliminating any possibility that the teeth are those of any one else"
 Lamphere Trial Far of.
 The grand jury continued it's labors on the case of Ray Lamphere, charged with the murder of the Guinness fam fly. Prosecutor Smith is of the opin- ion that the entire week may be con stunned before the grand jury is ready to make its report. There is little ex- pectation that the trial of Ray Lam- phere will take place this spring, al- though State Attorney Smith made the statement that he will be ready for trial next week.
 Sheriff Smutzer is Investigating the claim that William Riedinger, a farm CT at Delafield, Wis. was one of Mrs. Gunness' victims. In letter received from David Hickman, a friend living at Waukesha. Wis. he tells of the dis appearance from home of Riedinger, who left for some place in northern Indiana ito marry wealthy widow"
 A month later his hired man, John Heintzelman, received letter instruct ing him to sell the stock and farm i'm plements and put the money in the bank. Although the letter was unsign- ed and not in the handwriting of Ried- finger, the hired man followed the in- structions and deposited 5000 in the bank, where it still is, for Riedinger never returned and was not heard from after that.
 Went to Wed "Rieh Widow"
 Miss Jennie Graham of Waukesha, Wis, is seeking her brother, who left home to marry rich widow in Indiana and was never heard from after that.
 What is considered proof that Hen- " Gurholdt of Scandinavia, Wis, came to Laporte and was put out of the way by Mrs. Gunness was supplied when Sheriff Smutzer received letter con- taining a description of Gurholdt's watch, which tallies with one of the watches found in the ruins of the burn ed house.
 Gurholdt had s1,500 in cash when he left home to come to Laporte to see Mrs. Guinness, with whom he had cor responded.
 Coroner Mack prepared his reports on the five remaining skeletons of uniden- tified dead. but no formal findings were entered. The seven unidentified dead were buried in the potter's field.
