charnel farm to the tomb with him, ac-
cording to a copyrighted story In the Post
Dispatch today. When he believed death
was near he confessed.
The confession was made to Rev. DR.. E.
A. Schell, formerly pastor of the Laporte
Methodist church, now president of Iowa
Wesleyan university at Mount Pleasant
Ia, and held by him involate as a secret
Of the confessional The Post-Dlspatch
says Rev Mr.. Schell would verify II he
would consent to break the silence, the
confession it publishes, The Post-Dispatch
however, says the confession 1t publishes
was made to a man OF unassailable char
acter.
Lamphere. according to the confession
had a guilty knowledge of the murder of
three men in the Guinness home during the
time he lived there, about eight months in
1907, and he assisted Mrs. Guinness in dis
posing of the bodies of the three men.
ChIOrOfOrmed Mrs. Gunness.
He said ne thought he had not received
as much of the profits Of the transaction
as he considered himself entitled to and he
went to the house at night with a woman,
chloroformed Mrs. Guinness, her three chill
dren and Jennie Olson. He and the woman
then searched the house, finding between
$50 and $40.
The light they used was a candle and
they left the house without knowing they
had left behind spark that soon burst
into flames.
Mrs. Guinness method of killing her vic
Tins. Lamphere said, was. first to chloro-
form them as they slept and then If the
drug did not itself kill to sever the heads

Each time man was to be murdered
according to Lamphere, she sent him to
purchase chloroform.
Lamphere said he saw one OF the men
killed and aided in burying all three. These
men were Andrew Helgelein and probably
old Budsberg and Tonnes Petersen Lien.
Lien, Lamphere thought, was the third
husband OF Mrs. Guinness. At the time Of
the Lamphere trial 1t was thought Jennie
Olson had been killed by Mrs. Guinness.

she returned from a visit and she was

ECHO OF RECENT MANIPULATION

NEW YORK, Jan 10 - Important
changes are pending in the Rock Island
company and it's affiliated properties other
than the announced elevation today of Rob
ert Walker former assistant general coun-
sci of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway to the presidency of the Rock ISL
and company to succeed Richard A. Jack
son. resigned.
These changes, It is said on high author
ity, involve the taking over of Daniel c.
Reld's holdings Of Rock Island preferred
stock by prominent banking interests act
ing In conjunction with certain foreign
financlers According to well defined infor-
nation William IL Moore of the Rock
Island company is conducting the negotia-
tions for the bankers and the consumma-
ton Of the deal will carry control to Mr.
Moore and the proposed new interests.
Various reports in connection with Mr..
Jackson's resignation were current, but
no confirmation was obtainabIe in official
quarters. 1t is generally believed his re-
tirement resulted from rupture of his
hitherto friendly relations with Mr.. Reid.
Reid Practically Retired.
Mr.. Walker succeeds Mr.. Reid as chair
man of the board of the Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific company, but Mr. Reid
remains as director Of the Chicago. Rock
Island & Pacific company and of the
Rock Island company.
The elevation of Mr.. Walker coincident
with the suspension of the members Of
the stock exchange for their participation
in that 100000 share market order that sent
Rock Island up 81 points in a fifty, Is
taken to mean that William II. Moore in
the future viii be In more active direction
of Rock Island affairs.
The supposed difference between Mr. Reid
and Mr.. Moore are said to have some con-
nection with stock exchange transactions.
Brokers Are Suspended.
The suspension of o. B. Chaplin and F. d.
Countiss We're announced from the stock
exchange by President Thomas today.
Accompanying the announcement was a
statement by the governors of the stock
exchange, who, after reciting that the Of
Tending firm had received an order for
the purchase of the 10000 shares of Rock
Island stock and gave it out to other
brokers to execute, said:
That said firm and members thereof
should have known that execution of an
order in such a manner could serve no
proper or legitimate purpose; that it would
cause panic confusion and loss and de-
prive the quotations Of transactions from
the exchange of their value as standards
of the real market value of securities.
That the execution Of said order In
said manner by said firm constituted a
misuse by them Of facilities of the ex-
change and was an act detrimental to the
interests and welfare of the exchange"
