THE BODY IN THE RUINS.

All this, however, has little bearing on
the deaths Of Belle Gunness's many victims,
for Lamphere did not know her until the
fall Of last year, 1t has, however distinct
bearing upon the fascinating question lis
Belle Guinness still alive?'
No expert opinion has been obtained re-
garding the identity Of the woman's body
found in the ruins Of the house. Coroner
Mack thinks the remains quite large enough
for Mrs. Guinness, Another physician
thinks not Neither opinion is anything
more than medical guess. The head
which might have aided identification, was
charred of and entirely consumed in the
embers,
The assumption that Belle Guinness still
lives carries with il OF course the startling
theory that this body is that Of another
woman whom Belle Guinness slew and
left to perish in the house she set afre
herself 30 that the police would infer that
this body was that Of Mrs. Guinness and not
seek to pursue her. 1t also necessitates
the assumption that the murderer de-
liberately added the slaughter Of her three
children 10 her already sufficiently horrifying
list Of crimes.
All these assumptions constitute fairly
large order, it would seem. Yet nine out
of every ten persons in Laporte are equal

for that; she's got away, you bet

Editor of Danskeren!
Dear Friend:-
In order not to Overtax your
patience, I shall, for my part,
close this incident about the
General Council missionaries
work in our congregations with
a few remarks.
After having read the answer
to my article in Danskeren of
Aug. Fl, l have yet this to say:
That my charges were not
based on what happened at the
convention exclusively, but on
my knowledge of the situation
in general.
That the summary given by
the Oshkosh missionary is I'M
reliable from beginning to end.
as it only states the charges
and what he himself answered.

others answered or what was
proved.
For instance: "He was ac-
cused of having asked at three
places, if they were satisfied
IN the Danish Church. To this
he answered that he remcm-
bered having used that ques-
ton only once, and then it was
suggested by some peculiar cir
cumstances."
Peculiar it must have been,
and what is just aspeculiar, he
does not mention that it was
offered to prove by witnesses
that'he had used that question
at other places, but that he did
not desire to be confronted with
the witnesses from Oshkosh.
Now if it was some peculiar
circumstance, which suggested
that question in the one instan-
&c, which he remembered, what
suggested it in the other in
stances, when it was used?
My charge is, that it is a
part of the general policy.
The same thing about this
explanation, that our pastors
insisted that rules from the
state church should be binding
in this country and people who
were not members should be
considered as members. That
explanation is almost too silly
for an answer.
What our ministers held was,
that work done by them, pre-
paratory for memberships ought
to be respected as such, as their
work; but it was merely a sug-
gestion which the representa-
tives of the General Council
would not heed.
And yet, was that to ask too
much?
[ ask our ministers and our
congregations to take special
note of this point.
That, further, the English
mission in Oshkosh was started
right in the Danish congrega-
ton, and was a most shameful
piece of work.
That there were complaints
made in the private conference
by other pastors then the one
from Oshkosh; among otaers
the former KenoshaGwhere
same shameful propaganda has
been carried on openly. And
how can DR.. Frick then tell us
that there has been no COM
plants from Kenosha for a
number Of years?
That before L wrote publicly
about this, DR.. Frick publicly
threw suspicion on some of cur
ministers, but failed to present
the case as it was.
That | for my part, consider
it a poor piece of unity, which
consists Of official fraternity
and unofficial war.
That | have received letters
from other pastors not Of the
United Danish Church, with
permission to use them public
ly to prove. that the same kind
of work has been carried on at
other places.
And, finally, that [ shall all
ways be ready to prove my sta
tements, but shall have nothing
to do with whitewash commit
tees, as our people has a right
to know what is going on in
our congregations.
Most respectfully
N. P. LANG.
If this matter needs move
discussion, let there be called a
special conference for that pur-
pose. EDITOR.

POLICE STILL At A LOSS
Insurance Expired Today on
Braswell Millinery
Stock.
Especial to THE T1MEsl.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct. 2S-The
police are still at a loss to understand
the method in which the millinery par
lcrs of Miss Lucille Braswell were de-
stroyed by fire on last Sunday evening.
Miss Braswell. as stated in THE TIMES
yesterday, left early Sunday evening
for Chicago according to the story
told by the local police department, has
not returned yet. 1t was reported yes
terday that she had appeared at the
shop for few moments and had has
tened back to Chicago, without even
advising the police department where
she could be found. This, however,
could not be verified and was imme-
diately classed as a rumor.
A strange feature of the conflagra-
ton is that the insurance on the stock.
amounting to over $500, expires today.
This puts the occurrence in a very
strange light and lends credence to the
report that the building was destroyed
for mercenary motives.
