saw. Ind, and his arrest is expected
soon.
The capture of this man is expect.
ed to put into the hands of the au-
thorities the real story OF the mur-
der syndicate whose operations filled
i'fookside farm with the bodies of q
score of victims.
IL is further hoped to discover by
this means the present hiding place
OF the ch-murderess, IL. as Is now.
generally believed, she is In conceal
ment for chance to escape to Eu-
rope with the money she must have
accumulated by means of her schemes
1t is now considered certain that the
death agent is the man who ESCAPED
with Mrs. Guinness in an automobile
on the night that the farm house was
destroyed by fire which consumed
the bodies of the woman's three chill
dren.
An auto carrying a man and a wo-
man who answered the description of
the arch-murderess was seen speed
ing through Hobart on the morning
after the fire. Deputy Sheriff Gill
declared the machine was running az
fearful rate, and that il came into
Hobart from the direction of La
Porte. He is confident that the wo-
man in the machine was Mrs. GUM
ness. In fact there is little doubt
now in the minds of the citizens of
Laporte that Mrs. Guinness, the slay-
or OF perhaps score or more men
and women and children, whose body
was supposed to have been found on
her murder farm" escaped and there
is little doubt that the three children
who perished in the flames were not
her own, but were adopted as a
part of her cunning scheme to herself
appear a respectable well-to-do wild
ow who would make a desirable
wife
All La Porte is inclined to believe
this man with whom she fed is one
of her mysterious conspirators or
confederates. and that she is now
probably in hiding and waiting her
chance to sail for Europe.
On the day the house was burned
Mrs. Guinness received telegram of
warning from an accomplice. II is
believed that. this man, fearful per-
haps, that the wVnan might be ar
rested and make a confession of the
workings of the whole horrible "mur-
der syndicate" hurried to La Porte
early in the night in an automobile.
The police say the plan of flight was
formulated by Mrs. Guinness.
She easily reconciled herself to the
sacrifice of the children since they
were only accessories to her game
of murder. She induced Ray Lamp
here to set fire to the house as the
body of a headless woman had been
placed SO as to convey the impression
that Mrs. Guinness herself had per-
ished in the flames. Then she fled
Mrs. Guinness had several gold-fl-
ed teeth and a search of the ashes
of the house has been conducted for
the purpose of finding these teeth
What was thought to be gold
tooth that was discovered, has turn
ed out not to be a gold tooth at all
A dentist who examined it. declared
1t was an ordinary tooth, and had
never been filled with gold.

AMATEURS AT PLAY Games in the City Yesterday Mt. Carmel Team Defeated
 by Lighthouse.
ToRGERsoM IN THE BOX
East Sides Beat Quakers--City Point Nine Downs Plymouths--
 Other Results.

Before one of the largest crowds seen at the Lighthouse this year the Light house team defeated the Mt Carmel team, to 2. All runs were got on very poor playing. Both pitchers were in fine form, but Torgerson received far better support than Joyce.
 The Lights started off in the very first inning to score. Tommers. first man up, got nice single. Donegan bunted to the pitcher, who fumbled 1t and then caught Tommers trying to steal third. Donegan went to second on pass ball McEnroe got nice single, on which Donegan tried for home and would have been put out only Leddy made bad error Stowe got hit and o'connell hit to the pitcher, who threw McEnroe out at third. Byrnes got to first on an error by Kenny which SCOT ed Stowe. Davidson struck out. There was no more scoring until the fifth, when Tommers got a nlce hit, stole second and third and on an error by G. Fitch scored. The following three men went out in easy order. In the seventh the Lights got another run. Davidson famed, Coughlin flied to Harney, Torgerson knocked out a nice two-bagger and Tommers got single on which Torgersop scored, but Tom mers in trying 10 strecth 1t into n double got caught. Mt Carmel did nothing until the eighth J. Farrell. first man up, grounded to Stowe. who threw him out at first. S. Fitch got a two bagger away out In the cornfeld, Joyce walked, Leddy hit to Stowe, who fumbled, and Martin walked. forcing in s. Fitch. G. Fitch hit a long fly to deep center which Tommers caught, but Joyce scored from third. Tommers threw the ball to Torgerson, who caught Leddy trying to steal third. This ended the scoring for both sides.
 Taking all in all the game was we'll worth going to see and if the country boys had only felded better in the first inning there might have been a diff ferent story to tell Joyce. who pitched for the Mt Carmels, Is an old Meriden Dublin pitcher.

EAST SIDES VICTORIOUS.
Whitewash Quakers in Close and In-
 terestiDg Contest

The East Side team defeated the strong Quaker aggregation in one of the best played games seen at the East Side diamond this season before a large attendance, which was well sat isfied with the exhibition The features of the game were the work of the East Side pitchers, Poole and Friedman, and the backstopplng of Leach The twlrl- ing of Poole and Friedman was of the gilt-edged order The rest of the team also performed well. Murphy, McDon aid and Holiday executed a double play of the air-raising order that made the fans stand up and take nos tice. The Quakers did not get a hit which accounted for their defeat, the two runs which they did glean result ing from errors They worked hard, but the fates were unkind. Umpire John Powers was on his job every min ute and gave perfect satisfaction to both teams and the fans Manager CAP Clark will again endeavor to demon- strate the superiority of his team next Saturday and Sunday

TWO MEN LET 60
Manager Bone Releases Pitcher Carrick and Catcher
 Murray.
VETERANS RETURN TO GAME.
"Kid" Sherwood and Farmer" Plciss Will Probably Play In To-
 days Contest.

George Bone, playing manager of the New Haven baseball club, Is still resorting to the canning process. which has already resulted in the rec lease of many players. who have don- ned the New Haven uniform These players have clearly showed them- selves incompetent in their playing, and their presence in the local squad would only have proved detrimental After giving Murray and Carrick a thorough try-out Bone has finally de- cided to do away with their ser- vices.
 Carrick, who has played in the Na- tional league, has been batted hard, while twlrllng in the Connecticut state league. He has been losing many of his pitched games lately and yester- days result was only duplicate of his recent performances.
 Murray, who was sent here as tho real Murray with Paige as battery by McGraw. lasted just one week with the locals, His backstopping was wretched. missing many foul flies. His throwing to bases was the poorest exhibition seen here in long time. Murray seemed unable to retain tho ball and continually kept on dropping 1t. His work with the willow was poor with the exception of Thursday and Friday, when he managed to get two hits. In each game. Yesterdays performance of Murray's was rank, he booting the ball three times and not getting hit. That capped the climax and Bone immediately decided to do away with his services right af- ter the contest at Steeplechase.
 After Bone had successfully patched up the weak spots in the infield, the team looked like winner. Back stop position however, with Murray taking care of 1t. showed itself weak and was responsible for many of the locals defeats. Jerry Cornell, who has been playing in the field, will go back to his old position and with him in backstop things ought to run smoothly.
 Kid Sherwood. who sprained his ankle at the New Britain game Wed. nesday, in sliding home, is reported as being in condition again and will probably be seen on the dizzy corner to-day. Herbst or Havel who was released and taken back will probably play right field, while Captain zacher will remain as usual In center gar den. Eddie Pleiss. who has been called home on account of sickness in the family, will probably work in left field to-day.
