 Burned the House.

ot' louiS, Jdu. lO.-ltdY Ldmpnere, who died recently in the Indiana pen I itentiary at Michigan City, while Serv- ing term for setting fire to the home of Mrs. Belle Gunness, near LaPorte, did not carry the secrets of the Gun. ness charnal farm to the tomb with him, according to a copyrighted story in the PostDispatch today.
 When he believed death was near he confessed.
 The confession was made to the Rev pr. B A. Schell, formerly pastor ~of the LaPorte Methodist Church. now president of the Iowa Wesleyan Uni versity at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. an: held by him inviolate as a secret of the confessional.
 The PostDispatch says the Rev. Mr SchelI would verify, if he would consent to break the silence the con. fession it publishes, which was made to man of unassailable character.
 Iamphere, according to the comics sion had guilty knowledge of the murder of three men in the Guinness home during the time he lived there, aboat eigl.t months in 1907, and he assisted Mrs. Gunness in dsposing of three bodies.

 These men were Andrew Helgelein an6 probably Ole Budsberg anu Ton. nes Petersen Lien.

 The confession says Mrs. Gunness informed Lamphere of the coming of her cousin. The first man to be kill ed was from Minnesota. He never awoke from his sleep in the Guinness house.
 In the darkness Lamphere was dr- dered by Mrs. Gunness to dump gun ny sack and it's contents in a hole that had been made by another farm hand for rubbish.
 Mrs Gunness never told him what became of the man, but Lamphere re- ceived money from Mrs. Gunness Within month another man arrived. He wanted to know his rights before paying off the mortgage on the Gun ness farm and Mrs. Gunness took him to st. Jcseph, Mich. Lamphere thought, where they were married.
 A few nights after they came back and there was another burying. Lam- phere received money once more from Mrs. Guinness and hes aid he became her trusted ally
