SCHELL- REFUSES
TO Give SECRET
WESLEYAN COLLEGE HEAD WILL
NOT DIVULGE LAMPHERE's
ONLY CONFESSION.

chicago, Jan. 4.-The Rev. Edwin A.
Schell, president Of Iowa Wesleyan
university, has made final refusal to
reveal the confession Of Ray Lam.
phere, holding the trust reposed in
him as Methodist clergyman to be
inviolable. He is unmoved by q ma
ton wide desire to know the secrets
of the Guinness murder farm" and
to be certain of the fate of Mrs. Belle
Guinness, who, 1t is believed, lured more
than score of victims to her death
trap at Laporte, Ind.
Before he reached his conclusion DR..
Schell consulted with three ministers
and bishop of his church, and with
Judge w. S. Withrow of the Third
judicial district of Iowa it was stated
yesterday DR.. Schell admitted that
Lamphere had made statement to
him while confined in the Jail at La
porte awaiting trial which shed light
upon the mysteries OF the murder
farm and on the fate Of Mrs. Guinness.
He almost succeeded In getting the
hired man to make this confession
to the county attorney of Laporte he
said
Would Spare Lamphere's Sisters.
The college president gave as a sec
ond reason for refusing to divulge the
confession, that it might bring sor-
row to the two sisters Of Lamphere
who live at Laporte
To the question "Have the brother
and sister of Jennie Olson right to
know whether the penalty has been
paid for the murder, have the sons of
Ole Budzberg a right to know whether
the woman who killed their father is
still at larger" DR.. schell replied:
II did not know there was any
doubt that it was Mrs. Guinness who
persisted in the fire which burned her
residence at Laporte. | thought that
was settled when Lamphere said
publicly after his conviction he was
certain the body found in the ruins
was hers
He continued: 1T is the minister's
duty to hear the confession and to
plead with the criminal to make resti-
tuition, or to urge him to make his
statement to the courts. If l should
reveal this confidence, the ministry
would be discredited and would lose
some of their power to do good by
hearing confessions
Confers With Friends Here.
These conclusions were reached by
DR.. Schell after spending the day con-
sulting with Chicago Friends and
ministers.
Il expect to be criticised whether
l decide to reveal this statement or
not" he said. ''The ministry and
churchmen will criticise me if l reveal
1t and others of the public will criti-
else me if l do not. l would give $500
If l had not heard the story told me
by Lamphere''

The Mount Pleasant Story.

Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 4-(Special)-
President E. A. Schell of Iowa Wes-
leyan owing to the recent death of
Ray Lamphere, the Laporte convict,
who was connected with the Guinness
mystery, is a much harassed man Just
now, for to him and only to him did
Lamphere unbosom the secret which
now is locked in death behind his
lips: Just so closely is 1T locked in the
heart of DR.. Schell. When as pastor of
the Laporte M. E. church he became
the spiritual adviser of Lamphere who
was then in Jail there fearing for his
life, Dr. Schell talked with Lamphere
The man unburdened himself of the
secret, the facts of which would doubt
less clear up the entire mystery sur
ness victims as well as establish the
proof of Mrs. Guinness existence at
present. Dr. Schell has been the re-
cepient of dozens of letters and tele-
grams requesting him to give out the
details Saturday he was called upon
by special representative from the
Chicago Tribune for the story of the
confession which means so much.
To everyone Pres. Schell refuses to
give out any information. for he holds
that the reputation of the Christian
is at stake, and a confession
made to him under the circumstances
is not public affair. He stated to
newspaper man that were 1t in his
power to find any plan by which the
story could be given to the public
without coming directly from him he
would gladly do So but as the situa-
ton rests at present he does not feel
at liberty to talk relative to it.

In a letter to Salt Lake friends. c. r
Crawford. who Is president and general
manager OF the Crawford Leasing COM
pany. now operating in the National
New. camp. says
ii is not often that mine Is held ui
hy masked bandits. but i'll the short his
tory of The National mine It has oc-
Cured twice, About a year ago this
mine was held up and some $4,000 OF
high grade ore taken from the prem
lscs.
Last Monday night another attempt
was made 10 turn the same kind OF a
trick. Three or four masked men en-
tered the minc from the third level by
prying OF the locks from the doors. This
entrance not being used by the com
pany. was closed by heavy doors and
padlocks. The holdups, being evidently
familiar with the mine workings, de~
scended TO the lower level through the
working TO stick up their hands and line
up on the main tunnel level, While one,
with a gun in each hand, held the men,
the others looked for the high grade ore.
1t seems. however. that they did not
know there we're other miners working
that had not been corraled, And upon
hearing them approach they became
frightened and beat a hasty retreat with
out securing any booty before an alarm
could be scnt In.
The mill is constantly guarded, day
and night and 1t Is probable that the
mine Will be hereafter.

So far there has been very little water

necessary either so far, and not 10 en-
