 "You're the girl who's been behaving 90 badly?" she said.
 Seeing no profit in arguing the merits, Sophy answered Yes"
 At this point Julia observed one old gentleman nudge the other and whisper something It is morally certain that Pindar whispered to Pikes, "Percivals girl.'
 "You seem to like your own way. What are you going to do-say you're sorry?'
 No. I'm not sorry. I'm going away"
 Come here, girl. Let me look at you"
 Sophy obeyed. walking up to Lady Meg and fixing her eyes on her face. She wss interested, not frightened, as it seemed. Lady Meg looked long at Der.

 Julia spoke up, She's coming with me, please, Lady Margaret" Julia, it would seem, was little frightened. "Who are you?"

 Let me speak to Julia," said Sophy Lady Meg nodded. The girls linked arms and walked apart. Pindar came to Lady Meg's elbow.

 "I'll come, my lady" she said.
 "Good Tomorrow afternoon - to London. Mrs. Brownlow has the ad- dress. Goodby." She turned abruptly on her heel and marched of, her reti- nue following.

Lampnere, Ohoer HFreSt on suspicion
 of Killing Her, Tells of Helgelein's
 Disappesrance--Another Man Seeks Missing Brother.
 | Laporte. Ind, May 11.-One impor-
 tant development after another, coming | like a series of sensations, have served l to clear away some of the mystery of | the Guinness murders. Evidence has been procured to prove
 that Mrs. Belle Guinness is dead, her
 body being one of those found in the
 ruins of her house. The supposition
 that the archmurderess is still alive is
 now based on mere possibility too re-
 mote to be demonstrated.
 It is declared the attorneys for Lam- phere have in their possession proof that Mrs. Gunness' house was set on fire by another person than Lamphere. This person was confederate of Mrs.
 Guinness in many murders. The at torneys for Lamphere are bending their efforts to find this man.
 Lamphere admitted to the prosecut- ing attorney, according to statements made by his lawyer, that he was at the fire that destroyed the Guinness house.
 Says He Saw lamphere Run.
 The county prosecutor has witness not known to the defense who will tes- tify that he positively identified Lam- phere as a man whom he saw running away from the Gunness house after the fire, cutting across lots to the Wheat Brook farm.
 No expert opinion has been obtained regarding the identity of the woman's body found in the ruins of the house. Coroner Mack thinks the remains quite large enough for Mrs. Guinness. An other physician thinks not Neither opinion is anything more than a med ical guess. The head. which might have aided identification. was charred off and entirely consumed in the en- bers.
 The assumption that Belle Guinness still lives carries with it, of course, the | startling theory that this body is that of another woman whom Belle Gun ness slew and left to perish in the ', house she set afire herself so that the, | police would infer that this body was i that of Mrs. Guinness and not seek to pursue her. It also necessitates the | assumption that the murderer delib- | erately added the slaughter of her three children to her already suffi. ciently horrifying list of crimes.
 It is now agreed by County Prosecu- tor Ralph Nicholas Smith, Sheriff AL bert SmutZer and the other county au- thorities that whatever the startling developments of the day Ray Lam- phere, now under arrest. is 70 be charg- ed not only with the murder of Mrs. Guinness, with her children. by setting fire to her house. but also with being her confederate in the murder of An drew K. Helgelein.
 Lamphere says that on the day of the staying of Helgelein he was not at the house of Mrs. Gunness. He de- clares that Mrs. Guinness sent him away that day to Michigan City to meet one John Moo.
 Lamphere explains that he now be- lieves Moo was another prospective victim to he killed for his money. but at the time be says he thought noth. ing of the kind.
 ''I went to Michigan City that day" said Lamphere. T think it was Jan. IA. and waited there all day for Moo. but he did not come. Perhaps he was a myth. but I do not know about it. for Mrs. Guinness gave me letter to ha nd tn him
