and forth. That more bodies will be
found is the firm belief of the Off
GERS. They have the mystery of the
five trunks shipped from Chicago to
the Guinness farm to solve. These
trunks all arrived in LaPorte during
the last four months, and in view or
the developments yesterday and today
it is very probable they contained the
human bodies which now lie hidden in
some secluded spot on the farm. 1t IS
the opinion of the authorities that
Mrs. Guinness had accomplices in
Chicago and that after the prospective
victims had been lured to that city
to be robbed and murdered, their
bodies were shipped to this city in
order to keep the Chicago police from
gaining knowledge of the crime. Pros
ecuting Attorney Smith said today that
a colored woman named Lizzie Smth,
who once killed a prominent attorney
of LaPorte. in his opinion knows
something of the murders at the Gum
ness house. and it is believed 1t might
be possible to show she had something
to do with them
Another Man Missing.
The sheriff today commenced an in

and in company with her visited the
La Porte Savings bank, where he re-
ceived $1,000 collected on note. he
has never been seen since.
There is a strong reason to believe
the Identification of the diSmembered
body found yesterday as that of An
drew Helgelein was an error.
A. K. Helgelein brother of Andrew,
yesterday declared himself positive
that the body was that of his broth
er, but today says he is not so cer-
tain. There are many discrepancies
which make it almost positive the booy
is that of another man and that Hell
