WOMAN IS CERTAINLY DEAD,
FALSE TEETH OF MRS. GUINNESS
FOUND IN ASH-S OF HOME.
Prosecutor Smith Will Demand Death

Ready for the Trial.

Laporte, Ind. II anything add.

contention of Sheriff Shutter and
Prosecutor Smith that Mrs. Bella Gun.
ness, at whose door are laid an even
dozen deaths, is dead, 1t was supplied
Tuesday, when Louis schultz. the ex.
pert miner, found in the ashes of the
Guinness house the upper end lower
bridges, containing the false teeth Of
the woman. ~
The lower set of teeth TALES exactly
with the description and diagram fur,
nished by DR.. ]. P. Norton, the dentist.
who built the bridge, and who identi.
fed the teeth positively as those OF
Mrs. Guinness. In view of the unmis.
taxable evidence, Coroner Mack stated
that he would probably render an ofli-
cial finding that the burned adult f.
male body was that Of Mrs. Guinness.
The grand jury continued it's labors
all day, ten witnesses being examined.
Prosecutor Smith is Of the opinion
that the entire week may be consumed
before the grand jury is ready to make
its report.
There Is little expectation that the
trial of Lamphere will take place this
spring, although States Attorney
Smith made the statement that he will
be ready for trial next week.
II am ready to 60 to trial now" was
the statement of Mr.. Smith. Il believe
will bring Lamphere to trial the first
of next week, unless the defense forces
a postponement, and am positive that
he will hang. Our evidence against
him Is too strong for any jury to Ques-
ton his guilt and am more than con-
fident that life sentence will not
serve the ends Of justice in his case"
Laporte, Ind. - The autopsy on
the remains of the seven unidenti.
fed dead exhumed from Mrs. Gun.
ness private burial ground was com.
pleted Monday evening and revealed
the astounding fact, according to the
reports of Drs. F. T. Wilcox and
George R. Osborne, that one of the
seven was female.
Laporte, Ind.-Coroner Mack late
Wednesday afternoon rendered YER
dict finding that the female body
taken from the ruins Of the Guinness
house was that of Mrs. Belle Guinness
and that she was murdered.

TANK ExPLoDEs; SEVEN DIE.
Society People Aboard Launch Perish
by Drowning In Arkansas.

Clarendon, Ark. - Seven promin.
ent young society people were
drowned when the gasoline tank of a
launch in which they were going for a
moonlight excursion exploded. Other
members of the party were rescued
with difficulty. One Of those rescued,
Miss Mary Cavett of Clarendon, was
badly burned. Details of the tragedy
are meager. The boat left Clarendon
early in the evening, bearing a merry
party, who had planned to go several
miles down the river. When about
five miles below Clarendon the boiler
of the launch exploded, wrecking the
boat and hurting the L-cupants
into the river, which at this point,
more than so feet from shore, is very
deep. Few could swim, and some
were stunned by the force of the ex-
plosion and went down before swim
mers in the party could make an ef-
fort at rescue. The survivors were
found on the river bank by runners
dispatched from here because Of the
prolonged absence of the party.

SIXTY WERE KILLED.
AWFUL RAILROAD WRECK OC,
OURS AT ANTWERP.
WOUNDED WILL EXCEED 100
Express Train Dashed into Pilgrim
Train as Latter Stood on a
Sidetrack.

Antwerp, Nay 22.-one Of the
worst railroad accidents in Europe in
recent times occurred at Contich, a
station six miles southeast Of this
city on the main line at 8 o'clock yes
terday morning. The exact number OF
victims has not been determined,
owing to the difficulty of removing
the bodies from the debris, but the
latest estimate places the number at
sixty killed and 100 wounded.
Rescuers from Contic were at
once on the scene and the labor of
succoring the injured and removing
the dead was conducted with all pos.
sible haste. Special trains with doc
tors, priests and nurses were sent to
Contich from Antwerp and Brussels.
The accident is supposed to have
been due to misplaced switch. a.
The signal man at Contich saw that
his switch was not working at the
Antwerp express came laundering
down the line. He leaped from the
window of his signal station and
heroically ran down the track toward
the oncoming train waving red fay.
His efforts however. were too late to
avert the disaster.
| Every car of the pilgrim train,
with the exception of the foremost
one, was telescoped. The cars were
literally ground to pieces, and prac.
ticaly all the passengers were either
killed or badly injured.
The work of extricating the dead
and wounded from the debris appalled,
even the stoutest of the rescuers.
Many Of the bodies had completely
lost all human shape, heads, arms and
legs having been ground of by the
wheels. Three decapitated bodies
were found twenty feet from the
wreck. The occupants of the train
were mostly workmen and peasants.
The wounded persons are being trans.
ferred from Contich to Antwerp and
Brussels as rapidly as possible.
Three of the wounded already have
| died. There are several women
among the dead.

ARREST MAE WOOD.
Justice o'Gorman Charges Her With
Perjury.

. , PERJURY.
New York, May 22.-Mae C. WOOD,
whose suit for an absolute divorce
from United States Senator Thomas
| G. Plat has been on trial in the su-
preme court here for several days,
was committed to the Tombs prison
| late yesterday after Justice O'Gorman
had dismissed the complaint in her
| action and ordered her held in $4,000
bail on charge of perjury.
The decision in Senator Platt's
favor and the sudden and sensational!
end of the suit came after the intro.
duction of expert and other testi-
mony attacking the authenticity Of
the documents by which the plaintin
was seeking to establish her alleged
marriage to Senator Plat. A hand
writing expert testified that in his
| opinion the body of the letter in
| which Senator Plat was alleged to
have admitted his relation as husband
to the plaintiff was added after the
| senator's signature had been affixed.
The climax came after the introuuc-
ton in evidence Of deposition of q
man who manufactured the blanks
| upon which one of the alleged Plat.
Wood certificates had been prepared
! in which he declared that the blank
form in question was not autographed
until three months after the marriage
Of Miss Wood to Plat is alleged to
have occurred. The senator's son,
Frank H. Plat, also testified that it
is his belief no such letters ever had
been written to Miss Wood by his
father as were represented in alleged
copies offered in court by the COM
plainant.
The case has attracted exceptionally
wide attention on account OF the
prominence of the aged senator and
the prominence of other persons
whom Miss Wood involved in her
sensational charge in support Of her
complaint. Miss Wood was at once
taken to the Tombs prison. On the
way she chatted laughingly with the
| officers. go. .a
The commitment on the perjury
charge was made by Judge O'Gorman
on his own initiative. He had per.
sonally examined the complainant who
| had been recalled to the stand and
when she reiterated her former testi.
mony regarding the marriage the JUS
tice said: "The court cannot be.
| lieve there was marriage Being
convinced of the plaintiffs guilt in
committing perjury n the case, com.
NIT her to prison unless she furnishes
$4,000 bail.
| II cannot credit the plaintiffs evil
| dence as, to the alleged marriage, and
the testimony as it impressed the
court is that this is a most wicked
, design to support false and fictitious
claim by forgery and perjury"
