Many Stories AfIoat.

Lacking the excitement which attended
the discovery of bodies yesterday and
Tuesday. the rumOr mOngers of the town
made use of their opportunity to start
many wild stories about the streets. These
false sensations followed each other at
intervals all day, but none of them bore
the test of investigation.
Coroner Mack put in a busy day taking
lengthy dispositions from the father. sister
and brother of Jennie Olsen. and also
from AISLE X. Heigelein of Mansfield S
d. These documents detail at length the
known relations between Mrs. Guinness
and these two of her victims. Helgelein's

firmed many of the previous reports re-
garding the methods by which Mrs GUM
ness drew the South Dakota farmer into

also revealed that the woman had re-
fused at one time TO return the girl to
her father.

The eagerness of these noisy ones to
call attention to themselves. in the pos
sible hope that their activities would be
TumOTed abroad, resulted in constant in
teTruptiOns and insults to 'insurgent"
speakers. After a hard fight. the con-
vention consented TO hear d. .. RideOut
speak on the resolution he had intro
duced concerning the nomination OF
United States senators by the state con-
ventiOn. But after he commenced his
address. he was harasSed by Interrupt
tons. which interfered with the clear eX-
preston of his chain of ideas and caused
him extreme annoyance. Other speakers
of the minority Jared as badly. They
were tainted and insulted by those who
made il their duty to torment them, while
the great mass of delegates sat in their
seats stared and waited until IL was
time to finish the Roman holiday by vOt-

eral of these missives with him from

Endearing terms are numerous in the mis-
stve and in the later ones are explicit di-
rectiOns as to the methods by which Hell
gelein was to collect his resources. In
addition, such phrases as we must pray
God to protect us from evil" are in evil
dence.
Coroner Mack today turned over TO a To-
cal undertaken for preservation the re-
mains supposed to be those of Andrew

had taken this action because he was still
