DeIiberated Six Hours Last
Night and Is Let Off
Until Today.
SIX VERDICTS POSSIBLE.
IN EVENT OF EITHER, IAMPHERE
MUST REMAIN In JAIL TO FACE
CHARGE AS AccoMPLIcE IN
HELGELEIN MURDER.

Laporte, Ind, Nov. 26.--The jury
went to bed at II O'Clock last night by
permission of Judge John C. Richter,
without arriving at a verdict respect
ing the guilt or innocence of Ray LAM
phere, accused of the murder of Mrs.
Belle Guinness and her three children
by arson.
The jury was out about six hours.
Its deliberations were resumed this
morning.
According to rumors current among
the watchers, the jury took four bal.
lots and were about equally divided
on the question of Lamphere's culpa-
bIlity.
Following a cruel denunciation by
the state, in which he was pictured as
murderer and an accomplice of the
arch fiend he is said to have destroy.
ed, Lamphere was reassured by his
counsel and admonished 70 keep up his
spirits and hope for the best. He was
then taken to Jail, where he ate a
hearty supper.
Six verdicts Are Possible.
The jury retired at 5:25 p. m, fol-
lowing the closing address of the attor-
neys and the delivery of the instruc-
tions of Judge Richter. The judge In
structed the Jurors that they might un,
der the law bring in any one of the. fol.
lowing verdicts:
Guilty of murder in tn efirst degree
death.
Guilty of murder in the first degree
life sentence.
Guilty of murder in the second de-
gree-life sentence.
Guilty of manslaughter-two to
twenty one years.
Guilty of arson-two to twenty-one
years.
Not guilty.
In any case Lamphere must remain
in Jail after the verdict, because he
has not been tried on separate in
dictment charging him with being ac-
cessory TO the murder of Andrew X.
Helgelein.
In his instructions Judge Richter de
fined reasonable doubt after the ap-
proved authorities, and at length. de.
claring that il the jurors should be left
with any feeling falling that of moral
certainty, they should acquit Lam.

Dinner Served by Associated
Charities to Many of
. Poorer Class.
BASKETS ARE DISTRIBUTED
CHARITY WORKERS MEET WITH
MUCH POVERTY ALTHOUGH 1T
is NOT AS GREAT THIS YEAR
AS 1T WAS LAST.

At noon today quite large number
of poor people were fed by the Associ-
ated Charities at the headquarters of
the association, South Fifth street, aud
at the North End Mission, in River
dale. Through the generous contri-
buttons of food made by the more for
tunate citizens, the Associated Chari-
ties was able to appease the appetites
of it's most hungry guests-and all of
them were hungry. Gaunt faced men
and women entered the North End
Mission or the association headquar-
ters. despondent and discouraged, but
after they had been filled to capacity
with good, wholesome food, they left
the two institutions with heads erect
and smiling.
Yesterday the members of the Pen
ny club and the Women's Relief Corps
distributed baskets of Thanksgiving
cheer to nearly every worthy poor
family in the city. The majority of
those who received these baskets had
never before been objects of charity.
but they received the gifts with tears
of joy.
The suffering among the poor of this
city this winter is nothing compared
to what it was last winter, charity
workers state. but nevertheless. there
are still quite a few families in the
city who are in destitute circum-
stances.
Mrs. NJ F. Warfel, president of the
Penny club. said today that Thanks
giving dinners were yesterday furnish
ed to ten destitute families by the
women of the Penny club. Two of
these families. she stated. were suffer-
ing from the most abject poverty.
''One family living in the south part
of the city was reported to us by their
neighbors,'' stated Mrs. Warfel. They
had never asked for charitable assist
ance, but were very grateful for what
they received. We found the man of
the family in poor health and out of
employment. Dependent upon him
were his wife and three young child
ren. The home was clean and we'll
cared for but almost barren of furni-
ture. The family had been out of coal
until this week. when some was sup
piled by the Associated Charities
Mrs. Warfel also told of another
family which was quietly but desper-
ately fighting the wolf fro mthe door
never once appealing to charity for
assistance in the unequaI struggle
The man of the family was a victim
of the great white plague. Il do not
see how he can live throughout to-
day." said Mrs. Warfel. The wife was
in poor health and the gaunt faces of
the two young children told of the
pangs of hunger from which they suf-
fered. The only support of this
wretched family was daughter about
seventeen years of age, and her wages
are pitifully small

 The Juarez mine, out beyond Caborca, in the Altar di-trict, has reached depth of $40 feet, and within the last twen V feet a good flow of water has been struck which will be of great benefit; for scarcity of water has been one If the drawbacks in working the mine. It is believed that there will be pumped from the mine sui hcient water for all purposes, and it Is stated that the mill will start again soon. There is an abundance of good gold ore in the mine. and 1t is doubtless destined to be pro- ductive of handsome results.
