NOES WATCH IS IDtNTHb
Timepiece Found in Possession d h,
Lamphere Was Property Of Elbow
Lake Man.

Laporte, Ind, May 20.-The auton n
ny held yesterday on the remains 4 Is
the seven unidentified dead exhumea "a
from Mrs. Guinness private burial 81
ground was completed last evenin, y
and revealed the astounding fact that Fl
one OF the seven was a female. This
has aroused new interest in the stor
of Emil Greening of Oklahoma Cit,
Okla, who was employed by Mm
Guinness in the fall Of 1904. His story
was to the effect that on certain day
in September man and woman
came to the house and that night
Mrs. Guinness asked Greening to sleep
in the barn, for the couple, whom she
said were the professor and his wife
from the Los Angeles college which
Jennie was to attend, would spend the
night at the house and would require
Greetings bedroom.
Body of a Woman. al
In the morning Greening saw moth.
ing of Jennie nor the man and woman
and was informed by Mrs. Guinness
that they had left on an early train,
taking Jennie along. This body,
which is now declared to be that of
woman, was taken from the same hole
as was that of Jennie Olsen, and in
that hole also we're the bodies of Ole
Budsberg of lola, Wis, and the re.
mains OF a male person. All the bod.
les were dismembered, but the trunks
of the four were such that it was pos.
sible to identify the bodies of Jennie
Olsen and Mr.. Budsberg, and it made
it possible by yesterdays autopsies to
determine that one of the other two
was that of female. The theory
now advanced is that Mrs. Guinness
may have murdered not only Jennie
Olsen, but also the man and woman,
The disappearance Of Jennie Olsen, as
we'll as the couple, occurred in Sep,
TENDER, 1905, while Budsberg was dis.
posed of in May, 1907. His body was
nearer the surface than the other
three.
Watch Is Identified.
The mystery surrounding the watch
round on the person OF Ray Lamphere
when he was arrested was cleared yes
terday when ]. G. Ramden of Manfred
N. D., who came here Sunday to In
vestigate the disappearance of his
half-brother. John Moe, of Elbow
Lake, Mimi, identified the timepiece
as the one owned by his brother when
he left home. Lamphere said that
Mrs. Guinness gave him the watch.
Mr.. Ramden is positive that his broth
er was murdered by Mrs. Guinness, but
he was not able to identify any Of the
remaining skeletons and so will not
be able to provide proper burial for
his brother. The bodies of the seven
unidentified dead will be buried to-
day in the potter's field

CITY FUNDS IN LOOTED BANK.
Bank Sustained Greater Loss Than
Defaication ,Charoed to Cashier.

Bank Sustained Greater Loss Than
Defalcation Charged to Cashier.
Pittsburg, May 20.-The closing OF
the Allegheny National bank yester-
day morning by the controller of the
currency was the direct cause OF the
failure last evening of Carothers q
Co., one of the largest brokerage
concerns in the city, according TO the
statement Of the receiver for the iat-
ter firm.
With more than s1,500,000 of It's
funds tied up indefinitely as result
of the suspension of the bank, the city
of Pittsburg finds itself confronted
with the possibility OF being forced to
meet current expenses.
Banks Loss Is Heavy.
That the bank in some manner sus-
tanned a much greater loss than the
embezzlement of $469,000 cash and
$3.50 worth of securities charged
to Former Cashier Montgomery, is ap-
parent from all of it's recent state
ments, which show that it could sus-
tain a loss approximating $2,O0O,OOO
without impairment of it's capital.
City Treasurer J. F. Steel last week,
when he made inquiries as to the
citys deposits of $1,546,953, was told,
he claims. by Bank Examiner William
L. Folds and by officers of the bank
that the alleged shortage was about
100000 and that the bank could pay
that out of it's surplus and undivided
profits and continue business without
interruption.
City Funds Left in Bank.
Explaining why the city's funds
were not withdrawn as soon as the
shortage was discovered. Treasurer
Steel said he was told that If an at
tempt was made to do SO it would
force the closing Of the bank, and In
| that event the city could not be paid
He says he also was assured that the
bank would weather the storm and
meet all Of its obligations. Whether
the city will lose through the failure
is not known.
State Funds There, Too.
The state has on deposit in the
bank $523,477, and State Treasurer
John o. Sheath and Deputy Attorney
General Jesse E. b. Cunningham
came here yesterday to look after
the states interests. Both assert
that there Is not the slightest danger
Of the state losing anything.
There was no excitement over the
closing of the bank.
