LA PORTE, Ind, May Z. - This
city is in the throes of a murder mys-
terry that takes rank with the notori-
GUS crimes committed by DR.. Holmes
of Chicago and the Bender family
of Kansas.
The gang OF men excavatlng on
the Guinness farm. under the direc-
tion OF Sheriff Smulzer, came upon
another disturbed spot within six feet
of the place where yesterday four
bodies were dug up, and upon dig
ging three feet down found a wooden
box, which fell to pieces as their
spades hit II. Under the dirt the men
found the skeleton of man lying
face downward.
Continuing their digging at the
same place, the men came upon the
skeletons OF two more persons, but
there was no clothing or anything at
tached, and 1t was impossible to tell
whether they were male or female.
The ground is being further exca-
waited.
The body found in the box had
been dumped in carelessly. On top
OF It was debris. including little
tin stove, evidently baby's play
thing.

From out Of the mass of tangled
and sensational evidence which indi-
Gates that Mrs. Bella Guinness was
one of the most monstrous murderers
of the country, and that her beautiful
and well-kept farm a mile from La
Porte was clearing house of as
sassination and crime. there devel-
Oped today the startling theory that
the woman did not die in the fire
which destroyed her home on the
night OF April 2s, and that she Is still
alive and in hiding, probably In Chi
cago.
This theory Is strengthened by the
fact that the head Of the body OF the
woman found in the ruins of the
Guinness home after the fire is still
missing. although every effort has
been made to locate II, Unless tht
head IL found today the officers will
make a postmortum examination Of
the remains OF Mrs. Guinness ant

WAS LUCKY WEEK
 FOR DEFENDANTS

The past week has been a lucky one for the county criminal court divisions. The week has been an expensive one for the county, inasmuch as there was not a single conviction in either the first or the second division of the criminal court.
 In the two divisions there were some thing like IS or 20 cases here. About half of these cases were heard in the first di- vision before Judge Weaver and not a conviction resulted In the second divis- ion one man plead guilty without trial, and in another case the defendant con- fessed judgment All cases which went to trial resulted in acquittals.
 Quite number of important cases have been heard during the past week. It will be recalled that the case of Abe Siegel, charged with bribery the charge growing out of Sheriff Higdons graft fund.-, was discharged upon his second trial, the first hearing of the case resulting in mistriai. Several other bribery cases were also thrown aside.
 s A number of the cases thrown out of the court were mol pressed as the re- suit of the faulty worK of the grand jury In several cases the indictments were found to be faulty in the instance of which the presiding judge entered ord CTS discharging the defendants. In one case the defendant was discharged upon defective indictment but was held to the next grand jury.

"HANDCUFF KING"
 CORRECTS ERROR

sir Charles Gift, the handcuff king" states that reports of his recent arrest at one of the moving picture theatres are not exactly correct regarding the cause leading up to this trouble.
 The "King" was served with papers in a damage suit by Deputy Sheriff T. J. Kennamer on the stage of the theatre one Saturday afternoon. According to the re- ports published the deputy was assaulted by the handcuff expert. "Sir Charles" states that he did not hit Kennamer until after the latter had cursed him. He also states that Kennamer peeped under the curtain while he was making his escape and that he called him down, the trouble followed, and that Kennamer pulled gun on him in the presence of large number of ladies and children.
 In regard to the damage suit, the king alleges that Blakemore presented pair of handcuffs which were tricked and of his own make, and which could not be removed from wrist without being broken, and that for this reason he de- clined to use them. He also declares that the suit was filed for the purpose of vealing his own name, which is Downey.
