LETTERS FOR THE LADY MlDE GREAT OCCASION
La Porte Authorities Have Two Writ
ten Just Prior to the Big Fire.
Contents Guarded.

La Porte, Ind, May 10-La Porte
today was morbid magnet Morgues
and morticians were centers of attrac-
ton which converted the city into a
show ground, and the murder farm
an exhibition tract that would make
a circus manager turn green with
envy.
Ten thousand curious people, their
sordid cravings supreme, trampled
over the ruins, gasped at the open
graves in the Guinness yard, and
struggled to tear down the doors of
the barn where the disarticulated skel-
etons lie.
From dawn until dark an alternat-
ing procession of humanity choked
the narrow, winding thoroughfare
which leads from the town to the
gore-stained scene.
While hucksters, livery men and
souvenir vendors raked in the shekels
from the throng, the agents of the
law were continuing the serious bust
ness. of attempting to solve the mys-
FERROUS crime.
Two letters written to Mrs. GUN.
ness just before the fatal fire, which
reached the La Porte postoffice just
after the four charred bodies had
been removed from the ruins. are now
in the hands of the authorities.
The contents of the letters that
Mrs. Guinness never received are be-
ing guarded by the sheriff and states
attorney.
1t is the conviction of Sheriff
Smulzer that Mrs. Guinness had some
one associated with her in the opera
ton of her marriage bureau.
Another new witness to be called in
the grand jury's investigation of the
case of Roy Lamphere, held in con-
nection with the death of Mrs. GUM
ness and her three children, was
found today. He is c. Smith, La
