La Porte, Ind, Nov. b.--Interest
In the Guinness murder cases, which
excited the attention OF tho entire
country last spring, will be revived

Guinness. although the prosecuting
attorney claims to have q very
strong case against him on the
charge Of completely In the murder OF
Andrew Helgelein.
Helgelein. who was 4 South Dako-
ia farmer. came here with $4,000
after a correspondence with Mrs.
Guinness ana was never more heard
OF. He was but one Of q dozen or
more men who are believed to have
fallen victims to the woman's wiles.
In addition to the murder OF Hell

other, but the killing OF Helgelein.
which Is said to have Occurred jan
uary II last. is. believed to furniah
the strongest case against him.
The destruction Of the Guinness
house and the burning Of the widow
snd her three children occurred on
the night Of April 20. It came as q
climax to a strenuous investigation
by brother as to the whereabouts
of Albert Helgelein. who is believed
to have been the last victim OF Mrs.
Guinness. Helgelein was lured to the
Guinness farm through a matrimonial
advertisement. After his arrival he
was induced to turn into the wo.
mans hands nearly $4,000, which
he had earned as a rancher on his
section OF land near Aberdeen, 8. D.

thorities that the activity OF Helge-

mystery of the formers disappear.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-That prosperity
and revival of business will follow
the close of the Taft presidential con-
test is the generally expressed view
of business men. The revival in in
dustrial and commercial fields Is not
to be confined to any particular kind
OF business, but will be general in
the belief Of those who hold this
view. All lines of trade and indus
try will feel the beneficial effects OF
the removal CT the factor of uncer-
tainty. The revival, it is predicted,
is likely to begin almost Immediately
and will continue in ever-increasing
volume during the next six months
or SO, until the affairs of the nation
in a business way are once more
normal.
Railroad men and bankers, manu-
fecturers and merchants, stockbro-
kers and board of trade men, all join
in declaring the termination Of the
conflict means the end of depression.
One of the immediate effects will be
the carrying through Of many deals.
and many of them for large sums
which were awaiting the cessation OF
the suspense. 1t is stated that mill
ions of dollars are represented In
business transactions which were
held Subject to release" All this

took them. Otherwise the party has
been successful. Large tracts of un-
known land has been mapped out and
the entire northeastern cost of Green
land has been charted.
Erichsen and his companions were
on an ice foe when they were over
taken by the snow storm. The foe
drifted out to sea. The provisions
OF the explorers soon became exhaust
ed. They drifted for some days, grow
ing weaker and weaker. When the
foe was finally driven back to land
the three men did not have suficient
strength to make the effort necessary
to return to the station. They must
have perished on the shore. The Es-
quimauX, who brought in news Of the
disaster. arrived at the station in a
dying condition and succumbed imme-
diately after making his report.
