be given.
"E. 8. Boyd, superintendent of schools
and manager of the Woodbury. Electric
Co., described the fire and testified to
finding window in the second story
partly open and that the door leading to
the hayloft OF the barn was also open,
presumably with the intention to permit
q draft to blow through the buildings.
estate Policeman William E. Jackson
Was the star witness of the day and his
testimony was mistaken on Q severe
cross-examination by the defense. He
went to Woodbury. in the role of an adj
juster, gained the confidence Of both Gill
bert and Kicker, securing important ad-
missions that proved to be the reliance of
the state, The fret intimation that the
defenda MT had Of the true business of the
witness was when he took the stand
today to testify against him.
according to jackson, Kicker said
that he did not believe that Gilbert saw
any mysterious stranger rsnsacking the
Central House. Kicker told him that
Atwood wanted to get Greene and Henry
Galpin out of the house and was going to
forecIose for that purpose, but that they
wouldn't get out purely from spite.
Kicker told him that Galpin had left Gil
bert in charge of the house.
"Several times during the testimony
the name OF Henry Galpin was mentioned
and each time Senator Kennedy would
turn to the spectators and call out, is
Henry Galpin in the room p and receiv-
ing no reply would add, 'Humph, he
seems to be keeping away from here
"According to the witness, Kicker had
the fire. but that he himself had no in
terest in the property. Witness replied
to Kicker, That's what Gilbert said to
me-
pressed by the state to explain a bit
further, witness said, Gilbert explained
that the game would be to put the blame
upon him. He said, Kicker will say that
set fire to it. / tell you that Kicker and
Greene are in the game of the fire and
you'll find that out before you get
through with it, too"
jackson also stated that Gilbert had
said that $500 would cover all the prop
erty in the house and that there were not
enough dishes there to supply four peo-
pie. Much of the furniture had been re-
moved to Rhode Island before the fire.
son cross-examination, witness testi-
fed that Gilbert had told him that Rick
er was running around with one of Gal
pins daughters and that he had such
influence that they would swear to any
thing be told them to. He also intimated
that further testimony of still more
damaR ing character would be presented
by State Policeman Hurley, who will be
on the stand on Monday morning."
Nothing important developed Monday
and the hearing was continuedto Friday

Anna and Mary, who live near Hamp.

do shopping, and while returning
home in the afternoon were caught in
the heavy fall of rain and hail. The
roadside offered no shelter, and the

the hailstones were as large as hick-

had reached home the following cas-

Hid Jewels in Babx,s Dress.

Mrs. Virginia Carroll, a young
married woman, who said she lived
In New York City, was arrested at
Trenton as she was about to depart
on the charge that she had stolen
jewelry from the home of Mrs. Chas.
H.. McKeag, of North Broad street. at
whose home she had been boarding
for a few weeks. The woman pro-
tested her innocence, and as the pa
trolman could not see any sign of
lewelry on her or in her purse he was
about to let her go when he noticed
that the clothing of the baby she car
ried was punched. He reached for
the bunch and got a gold bracelet.
Then the woman broke down and
confessed and restored gold rings and
other valuables worth $50 which she
had hidden in her clothing. She
pleaded poverty so earnestly that
Mrs. McKeag refused to prosecute.
The Penn's Grove record., 1908-05-15

lleVed that the manner of the wom-
ans death will be found to have been
like that of her children.
The key to the mystery is thought
to lie with Ray Lamphere, former
man-of-all-work for Mrs. Guinness.
The authorities charge him with the
murder of Mrs. Guinness and her
children and with burning the farm
house. Lamphere was mad11y in love
with Mrs. Guinness and had been
aouted by her. He was poor, an
noyed her with his protestations and
HE sent him away.
She was Turing men of small means
from the West and Northwest to her
daughter house. Lamphere, with the
ever watchful eyes of the lover, be-
came troublesome. She would no
doubt have murdered him and buried
him with her other victims in her
barnyard had it not been that he was
4 native and his disappearance would
have been more difficult to explain
than were those of the men from dis
tant points. These merely had left
town, gone home, according to her re-
ports, and that ended the matter. The
Staying of. the infatuated Lamphere
might have aroused suspicion and
brought about an Investigation.
The theory that Lamphefe was her
accomplice is disputed. He may have
suspected her of being in some mys-
ferrous way concerned with the sud
den disappearance of the visitors. The
authorities arrested and locked up
here Bessie Wallace, of Michigan
City, a woman of the underworld,
who asserts that Lamphere had said
to her that if Mrs. Guinness did not
treat him more kindly he would send
her to the gallows, and also that he
would burn her out"
On the night that Mrs. Guinness
murdered Andrew Hegelein, the
Aberdeen Is. Dak.) stockman, she
sent Lamphere on a mythical trip to
Michigan City, near by, to meet a
supposed John Moo, or Maa, who, she
said, was her cousin. She told him
to wait over night for the arrival of
the cousin, and if he did not come in
the morning to return home. When
he got home she told him that Hege-
lein had left on an afternoon train
for South Dakota.
No one doubted that the woman's
body found in the ruins was that of
Mrs. Guinness until the first of the
series of sensational discoveries led
