day on the remains of the seven un-
identified dead exhumed from Mrs.
Guinness private burial ground re-
vealed the fact that one of the seven
was female.
This has aroused new interest In the
story of Emil Greening OF Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, who was employed by
Mrs. Guinness in the fall of 1904. Green
ing worked for Mrs. Guinness at the
time that Jennie Olson disappeared,
and his story was that on a Friday in
September man and woman came
to the house and that night Mrs. Gun
ness asked Greening to sleep in the
barn, for the couple. who, 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 Green
ing's bedroom.
In the morning Greening saw
nothing of Jennie nor the man and
woman, and was informed by Mrs. Gun.
ness 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 were bod
