Bodies Of Two Victims, Physician Re-

Of Violent Deaths.-Re-
suit Of Autopsy

Laporte. Ind, May 12.-The
Guinness farm failed to reveal new
mysteries yesterday, but some ex-
cellent progress was made in solving
the puzzles already involved in the
homestead which has witnessed the
tragic deaths of at least fourteen
persons. A series of heavy showers
made excavating impossible, but
between the downpours Sheriff
Smulzer and Louis Schultz worked
on the apparatus with which Schultz
is to sluice the ashes and cinders in
the cellar of the ruined home. Other
developments In the case were as
follows:
DR.. ]. H. William Meyer sent to
the coroner the result of his autop-
sy on the bodies of Andrew Helge-
lein of Mansfield, S. D., and Jennie
Olsen, the adopted daughter of Mrs.
Guinness, who disappeared in 1906.
DR., Meyer reported that mass of
hair had been found in the clenched
fist of Hegelein and that the fingers
grasping it had been severed above
the first phalanx.
Charles Away, pallbearer at the
funeral of Peter S. Guinness, told of
how the widow had been absent
from the ceremonies preceding the
burial of her husband and asserted
that it was subsequently learned
that she had been in Laporte con-
sulting an attorney on the subject
of possible arrest for having murder
ed her husband.

plication will be given favorable
consideration. Garner is the man
who created quite sensation in the
executive department on March 25
last by walking into the governors S
office and voluntarily surrendering
to the governor himself, Garner had
escaped from the Fowler convict
camp and had walked 1000 miles to
come to Austin and plead his cause
for a pardon. He was convicted on
a charge of embezzlement, and he
claims that he was not guilty Of the
charge and brought with him an afr
davit signed by one j. N Eike of
Scurry county showing the details
of the transaction which led to his
arrest and conviction. The governor
was struck with the mans story and
told him to go back to the peniten-
tiary and his case would be given
careful consideration. During the
past week George S. Wright of the
law firm of Gregory & Bats, who
has had the question of pardon in
hand, appeared before the board IL
