has been that farmers make good
jurors, conscious and ready to inflict
punishment where they believe it
should be administered. That is why
they are preferred. by the state. On
the other hand, Attorney Worden rea-
sons. that because his client is a
farm hand, was born and reared ON
the farm, the farmers will be partial
to him.
Mack May De First Witness. :
1t is likely that DR.. c. s. Mack, the
coroner, will be. the first witness for
the state. Last night he was given
farewell banquet by the doctors of
Laporte, for this month he will 20 to
Toledo to enter upon the pastorate
of the Swedenborgian church, having
abandoned the practice of medicine
for the ministry. His testimony will
be followed by, that of Drs. F. T. VIII
cox, j. H. William Meyer, ]. L. Gray
and H. H. Legg, who held the autopsy
and who are convinced because OF
facts In their possession that Mrs.
Guinness is dead. Efforts to locate
Louis Schultz, the gold miner who
through sluicing operations of the
ashes from the burned house found
Mrs. Guinness gold teeth and bridge
work and considerable jewelry, form
erly the property of the alleged arch
murderess' victims, were Abandoned
today and the state will use Sheriff
Shutter to prove, the finding of these
articles in the ruins.
Sheriff Smutzer worked with
Schultz all of the time.
Peter Colson, p missing state wit
ness, was found today He is en-
ployed as farm hand north of town
and worked for, Mrs. Guinness for a
time and had also talked with Lam
woman. N,
Lamphcre Will Defend Himself.
Attorney Worden admitted today
that Lamphere will go on the stand
IN his own defense If Judge Richter,
following the completion of the states
side OF the case, overrules the motion
which Attorney Worden expects to
make to take the. case from the Jury
and discharge the defendant.
Lamphere's lawyer is still confident
that the prosecution will fail to build
case around the prisoner.
Prosecutor Smith hopes Worden
will not change his mind to have
Lamphere go on the stand, for he
has in store for him a grilling which
he says will put the Evelyn Thaw
grilling in the shade
Jury Order Is Expected.
1t is expected that when the twelve
men who will hear the evidence have
been passed on by both sides and
finally accepted Judge Richter will
enter an order Of court that they are
not to separate until a verdict has
been reached. In. that event they
will live at the Teegarden hotel,
where suite of rooms will be en-
gagged for them. They will be in
charge Of one and. perhaps two bail
ifs all OF the ttmasand under no cir
cumstances VII. thsR be permitted to
communicate with outsiders. They
Will be under greater restraint and
more drastic surveillance than even
the defendant himself.
Weir Enters the Case.
The appearance today In the case of
Attorney Ellsworth E. Weir as coun-
sci with Attorney Worden will
strengthen the defense, for Mr.. Weir
is considered one Of the most brill
liant criminal attorneys in northern
Indiana. During the morning twelve
veniremen were examined by the de-
Tense, eight of whom were peremp-
torily challenged and excused be-
cause they had formed opinions that
could not be changed.
