La Porte, Ind. Nov 2i-Eyidence to- day was finished and tomorrow tho attorneys win make their arguments in the trial of Ray Iamphero of the mur- der of Mrs Bella Gunness and her three children by setting fire to the Gunness house on April 2S, The case win probably go to the jury tomorrow night
 To-days session lasted less than two hours Dr. Walter & Uaiues of Chi- caso was the principal witness He testified as to his examination of the stomachs taken from what were sup pos d to he the bodies of Mrs, Guinness and two of the children. He said he received the stomachs in a single sealed jar and that they had almost run to- scther He continued:
 "Thc only possibly analysis was by using the mass together I found am abundance of arsenic and a quantity of strychnine There was enough strychnine to have caused the deaths of three persons
 On cross-cXamination, however Dr. IIaIncs stated that he could not say that the three persons whose stomachs he had analysed had died of strych- mine poisoning. "The poison found in the stomach after death. he said, ifs not usually the poison which has caused death for that has been ab- sorhed and has gone to the remote arteries of the body" The witness also said that he could not state whether the poison had been intro- duced into the stomachs lvfore or after death, or whether it came from within or came through the walls of the organ "The poison might just as easily have been introduced after death said .Dr fTanes,
 In rohuttal the state called Austin Cutler an undertaken, at whose morgue the bodies of Mrs Guinness and her three children, as well as the hody of Andrew ielgelein, lay for more than three weeks llo testified ] that in the preparation of the bodies he used formaldehydc and about lf- teen pounds of arsenic powder This powder was put all over tho bodies 1 and into tho cavities

for second degree murder. The ef- forts of the ten to bring the second degree juror to vote for first degree murder were unavailing and the twelve finally voted for second degree. When sentence was pronounced by Judge Case Schirrman, who had been exceedingly nervous, said "I thank
 The crime for which Schirrman is to pay the life penalty was committed on the night of June last when he shot and almost instantly killed Ida Potter while walking with her in Main street. Schirrman made good his escape, and was not caught until several weeks later when he was found in Fishklll. Ida Potter, who though she was not married to Schirrman, had lived with him off and on for some time and was the mother of five children She had separated from Schlrrman previously to coming to Danbury and secured em, ployment at the home of Robert Lake. Schirrman came to Danbury and it s supposed tried to induce her to return to him and on her refusal shot her.
 Schirrman, who was married but whose wife had not lived with him for sometime, was member of a well-to- do Poughkecpse family and every ef- fort was made by them to defend him at the trial. The ground of insanity was taken by the defense and mems bers of the family and other Pough- keepsie residents testified as to his seemingly insane acts since he was a boy
 The summing up by the attorney for the defense and prosecution was par ticularly keen, especially that of Prose- cutor Stiles Judson in his arraignment of the aiensts which the defense had brought in to prove Schirrman's in- sanity.
 Schrrman will be taken to Wethers- field tomorrow.

New York, Nov. 2l.-Rcturning
to his home carly today after all
night Of absence, Carl Loose, a bak-
or, 57-years-old, opened fire upon
his family at breakfast. He killed
his 17-ycar-old daughter Meta and
fatally wounded his 2I.year-old son,
Frederick, a Luthern minister.
Loose was disarmed by another
son. He stolidly refused TO give any
reason for his act, but the cause of
the shooting was the fact that
Loose's wife and daughter were ar
ranging TO go with Frederick TO
Yale, S. d., where he was pastor OF
n church, and make their home with
him because OF late Loose had been
drinking excessively and neglecting
his family.
Frederick was shot In the abdO-

er after he had shot tho daughter.

Prediction was made several
months ago In these columns that
the annual fall glut OF western grass
cattle, a feature OF stock yard trade
for two decades past would be con-
spicuous by its absence this year and
results show that the forecast was
justified. The advance OF approx
mately 81 per cwt. In cattle values
during the first two weeks of No
vember would have been impossible
had the usual quota OF westerns
been at killers disposal. It is a
situation novel To the owner OF ma
tive cattle who. since rangers be-
came a price-mRking factor, has ex'
perienced hardship at the market
while the westerner was cleaning up.
Early subsistence OF the movement
OF grassers this fall means that the
crop OF beef made on grass and corn
in the corn belt will be cashed in,
owing to attractive prices, at .
time when II is usually in the feed
lot, AS the country has made no
preparation for winter feeding on the
usual scale an acute shortage be-
tween mld.winter and the time grass
becomes a market influence next
summer is inevitable.

This Is the situation in a nutshell.
Considering population and con-
sumption the country has never been
40 short OF beef cattle in its his
tory. For years liquidation has con-
tinued apace. The range, South
west, West and Northwest, has been
cut up, Its breeding and maturing
herds dispersed and the country east
of the Missouri river, unable 70 meet
such competitor, has also quit to a
large extent. Packers have been
converting cows, heifers and cattle
OF only feeder quality into beef I'M
til the long predicted shortage is an
actually.
