bodies of Frank and Sebastian Mesino.
two prosperous shoemakers, of Mid
land Park, were found today in the
room where they had been slain early
today. The deeds are believed to be
the work of the Black Hand, and jeal-
ousy of a woman is ascribed by the
police and the neighbors of the broth
ers as the motive.
That Black Hand desperadoes had
attacked the sleeping men was evident
when on the breast of Sebastian Me-
sino was found the rude representation
of hand, pricked out in sinister fash
lon with a stiletto
The double crime was discovered at
o'clock today. when Frank Pessino

lying in their blood,
The assassins had shot down Frank
Mesino as he lay asleep. There were
four stab wounds through his heart and
right breast, and he was also shot
through the head.
Sebastian Mesino was found lying
on the floor with his right hand almost
severed, with gunshot wounds in his
chest and cuts on the face.
Pessino rushed from the place anc
informed Chief of Police Peter Pulls, o.
Ridgewood. who Immediately started al
investigation.
Proof that robbery was not the mo

} Evidence that murder had recently
been committed was found in the fact
that the fragments of the body at first
thought to be that of Andrew Helgelein
was in excellent condition, as if the
man had died only yesterday.
Never in the history of crime, with
the possible exception of the opera
tious of murderer Charles Holmes,
have the authorities uncovered such a
carnival of bloodlust as that whose
orgies were held beneath her roof and
whose victims are being discovered, one
by one, from shallow graves in the
pretty yard surrounding the ruins.
Twelve bodies have been brought to
light to date, and in the search for the
two missing husbands of Mrs. Guir-
ness, believed to be still buried on the
place, the sheriff's men expect to find
the bones of other victims whose nnys
terious disappearance from the farm

as it is believed that the Guinness
woman had many victims before she
made La Porte her home. four years
ago.
The identity of seven of the victims
and the secret of their deaths the sher-
iff believes is locked in the breast of a
farmland, Ray Lamphere, who is under
arrest, charged with having fired the
-, fol, Cl1rfrY hats
three children perished. Lamphere is
thought to be the accomplice of the

Advertised for Husbands.
Mrs, Guinness enticed men to her
home by advertising in matrimonial pa
pers for a husband. Once having en-
thralled them with her charms, she
robbed and murdered them. Their bod
les she buried in the yard. To inquir-
ing neighbors she explained their disap-
pearapce by saying that they had gone
TO remote points.
Three of the bodies found in her pro-
prietary graveyard are those of men
and two are of women. The bones of
four more victims, found in the ruins.
are believed to be those of Mrs. GUM

ready credence is given to the rumor
that the female Bluebeard is not dead.
but placed the body of another woman
victim in the house before it was fired.
The second excavation brought TO
light the skeleton of young woman,
apparently about seventeen years OF
age identified as Jennie Olson, the
adopted daughter of Mrs. Guinness,
who disappeared from La Porte in Sep
tember, 1906. Mrs. Guinness told her
neighbors that the girl had left to at
tend school in Los Angeles, Cal.
The third body was that of a large
man who had a dark mustache and
dark hair. The body is still unidenti-
fled. Beneath this body. under layer
of earth, were found the remains Of
two children, apparently twelve years
of age.
