Anything of the Kind in Modern
Times.
A dispatch from La Porte, ind
says the murder OF four persons she
had invited to her House of Hor-
rorS' as her guests at a Christmas
party, is the latest atrocity charged
to Mrs. Belle Guinness, La porte's
arch assassin, who is being sought bv
the police OF practically the whole
world.
From a careful Identification of
tho unidentified bodies which have
been recovered from the "solt sDots''
OF BroOkSlue farm. and the compari-
son OF other evidence, it is now al
most certain that the m slavcr
committed her uuadruplo crime on
Christmas night Of 1906.
Jennie Olson, John Moo. Of elbow
Lake, Mimi, and a MAJ and woman
known only as the professor and his
wife were on that night the victims
or the Guinness woman's passion for
slaughter.
This discovery ~corroboratca in de-
tail the statement by Emil Greening,
ono Mrs. Guinness chOre boy, who
has been interviewed in Oklahoma
CITY.
Grecning said that after the part,
held at Mrs. Guinness house Christ
mas day, 1906, and the next day, Dc
ccmbcr 26, he noted the disaupcar-
ancc Of all the guests. When he
asked Mrs. Guinness whore the Wis
itors had conc, she said that the
professor and his wife, who wore at
the house, had gone back to their
school near Los Angeles, California,
and had taken Jennie Olson with
them.
ono Of the mcn at the Christmas
party is now known to have been
John Moo. Of ELBOW Lake. Mimi. but
the persons remaining TO he identified
are tho ones described rs the prures-
sor and his wife.
Heretofore il has been generally
thought that Emil Grccning was
wrong in saving that there was any
oma guest at the Christmas party
besides Jennie Olson. The cXplana-
ton made WAS that probably Grccn-
ing saw Il man dressed in woman's
clothes.
-Four bodies were found i'm one
grave. One OF them has been idcmti-
lied as that OF Jennie Olson ana an
other as the remains Of Jim Moo.
The third is that of Il woman and
the fourth Il man Of unknown idcn-
tity nc yet.

Guinness prepared for this slaughter
weeks ahead The graves were dug
two months ahead ly Briiiski, Il Pol
ish laboror, who did odd jobs for
Mrs. Guinness. The proceeding Oct
obcr Mrs. Guinness WAS making
girls dresses, and whom asked by
ono OF the ncighbors what she was
doing. she said The dresses were for
Jennie Olson, who was going away
to school.
1t may be presumed from the
Shreds Of evidence now in the poses
sion Of County Prosecutor Smith that
Mrs. Guinness had plotted % Kill
three persons on this occasion the
So-called professor, his wife and len
ME Olson, but Moo with his $500
arrived in answc2 10 Mrs. Guinness
matrimonial advertisement lust in
time to Join the party and to he
killed and buried with the others.
Men who discovered this large
grave with the four corpscs say each
body had been butchcrcd and dissect-
ed IN the n manner.
With a saw the legs wcrc cut in
w above the knee. the arms wcrc
removed at the sockets and the heads
cut off. The pieces were generated
ana were wrapped in burlap appar-
cntly so that the packages could be
handled more readily by the woman.
j. NJ. Rcndau. Of Manfred, y. d.,
half brother OF John Moo. identified
the watch found in Lamphcrc's pock-
ct. Tho number on the case and the
works, correspond with the numbers
given By Rcndan as those in Nloo's
watch.
Coroner Mack received a letter
from Mrs. Henry Witzer, y. 3254 Ma
pie street, Toledo, O., declaring hon
fear that her daughter, who was q
graduate Of Valparaiso College. had
