NOW SAYS. WOMAN IS DEAD
DR.. Norton. Mrs. Guinness Dentist,
Identifies Jawbone.
MAKES HIS STATEMENT POSITIVE
Only Thing Delaying Case of the
state Against LRmphere Has
Been Establishment of
Corpus DeIicti.

LA PORTE. Ind, May 15-"There is no
question but that the piece OF jawbone
found in the Guinness farm yesterday is
from human being. Furthermore, IT
bears a strong resemblance to the lower
jaw OF Mrs. Guinness"
This positive statement of Identification
was made by DIR, /. p. Norton, the dentist
who performed large amount Of work on
the teeth of the owner of the death farm,
after he had examined the specimen
brought to him by the coroner.
There is almost no chance that the bone
came from the jaw OF an animal" he said.
1T shows the conformations as far for
ward as the cuspid tooth and also shows
that all the teeth intervening had been eX-
tracted.
Mrs. Guinness had only two teeth left in
her lower jaw. There was a cuspid on each
side.
Il tried to persuade her 70 have them
extracted and TO let me make a plate for
her, but she insisted upon bridge work,
and crowned the two cuspids with gold
and swung a bridge from them.
Proof of Experts Theory.
'In the human jaw, when teeth have been
extracted from two to five years, the
bone forms a plate over the cavities That
condition existed in Mrs. Guinness jaw
and it exists in the specimen found in the
ashes by Sheriff Shutter. Had the jaw
come from an animal there would have
been no trace Of extraction. Some root or
other remnants Of each tooth would prob
ably have remained. There only remains
to be discovered some Of the gold which l
placed upon the cuspid teeth 10 make the
Identification Of this piece Of bone positive
and complete. So far as l myself are
concerned l am certain as 10 the origin
OF the bone now"
The doctor said that a study by the
methods OF comparative anatomy will bear
out his assertions. lie is planning to send

by Mr.. Jerome;
Have you encountered many insane per-

the fact Of their inssnity?"
DIR. Baker--I have. Such cases are not
uncommon.
Mr. Jerome--You have seen the letters
written by Mr.. Thaw and the codicil to his
will?
DIR. Baker-I have.
Mr. Jerome--From the reading Of those
documents, together with your converse
tlons with and observations of Mr. Thaw,
is he, In your opinion, sane or insane?
DR.. Baker-He is insane.

Sheriff Shutter also brought in to DR..
Norton a number Of new bits Of metal
found in the debris this morning. They
proved, however, to be brass. Otherwise
the search at the farm was fruitless.
Great Help to States Case.
The report of the coroner's physicians to
the effect that the Jawbone found at the
Guinness farm yesterday came from the
skull OF an adult human being is all that is
required to confirm the establishment OF
the corpus deficit in the case against Ray
Lamphere, according to the prosecuting
officials Of this county. Just when this
formal report will be made is uncertain
The same doctors considered their findings
on the bodies found in the cellar OF the
Guinness home for ten days or more before
making a formal return concerning them
to the coroner.
Sheriff Shutter was jubilant over his
discoveries last night and resumed his in
vestigations today. The material on the
east side OF the cellar, where the bodies
were found has all been screened. but the
possibilities Of the refuse piles are by no
means exhausted. The ashes were shoveled
from the east side to the west side of the
foundation and partially back again during
the search for the, bodies and the subse-
quent cursory examination of the ruins for
evidence. As a consequence some finds of
considerable value to the prosecution may
yet be turned up.
Evidence of Hot Fire.
The bits Of metal found by the miners
among the piles of nails. bolts and other
relics OF the farm house win bear evidence

teeth.
Each gIobule Is fused into the cinders
with which it came in contact and moulded
into all sorts OF irregular shapes. No better
testimony as TO the fierceness of the fire
which consumed the farm house could be
found, and it is upon the alleged tremen-
dous heat engendeTed In the flaming ruins
that the state must depend for support OF
its contention that the head OF Mrs GUM
ness was incinerated on the morning OF
April D.
The case against Ray Lamphere probably
will be brought before the grand jury Mon
day, according 10 the first revision OF the
schedule in this regard. The time Of his
trial Is less certain. Until Sheriff Smutzer
has exhausted the possibilities Of the farm
house il is scarcely likely that the case will
be docketed for trial According to the

MUST REGISTER In
ORDER TO Vote.
IMPORTANT DECISION BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL. OLD REGISTRATION GER
TIFICATES NULL and VOID.

Attorney General Lyon, at the re.
quest of Gov. Ansel, has rendered
an important opinion on the require
ments of the act of 1908 on reenroll-
meut and registration of voters. This
act was passed by the general assem-
bly,, in accordance with the provision
of the constitution, requiring new
registration every ten years, and
special appropriations were made for
the boards of registrations in order
that the books might be kept open a
longer time than usual.
Mr. Lyon holds that each and
every voter who has heretofore regis.
tered must reregi,,rr and have his
name entered on the books in the
SAM Liza Iner rs if it were entirely
new registration. There is provision
that those registered before 1898
shall be entitled to another regstra-
tion upon presentation of their
certificates from the clerk of court
or secretary ofState that their names
appear upon the records prior to
1898. On the new books opened and
kept open during the moaths of
July apd August should be entered
all the names. Those enrolled during
the first Monday in each month of
the year 1908.
The opinion is strict construc'
ton of the law, but Mr. Lyon feels
4hat the act of 1908 should be car
ried out to the letter and the regis
tration books be purged of thou
sands of names of those dead or re-
moved from the State and that
hereafter the boards of registration
should be required to keep the books
clean. This point was made in Barn.
we'll county some months ago when
an fort was made to get up a pc
tition to vote out the dispensary.
The names of hundreds of voters
were counted in when they were not
entitled to registration. Since then
Gov. Ansel has made it plain to all
boards that the law should be strict
ly enforced.
|. The request FOR this opinion came
|up on a query from citizen of
Dillon interested in the establish
ment of a new county in the upper
2section of Marion county. 1t is
therefore of considerable Importance
as it is probable that an election on
the petition presented will be ordered
within the next few months.
