Doctor Reports Two Met Unnatural
Deaths, But Cannot Determine the
Cause—Lock of Hair In Helgelein's
Hand.
La Porte, Ind., May 12.—Mrs. Belle
Guinness’ farm failed to reveal new
mysteries, but progress was * made
towards solving the puzzles already in-
volved in the homestead which has
witnessed the tragic deaths of at least
fourteen persons. .
Dr. J. H. William Meyer sent to the
coroner his findings resulting from the
autopsies of the bodies supposed to be
those of Andrew Helgelein, of Mans-
field, S. D., and Jennie Olsen, the
foster daughter of Mrs. Guinness, who
disappeared in 1906. Dr. Meyer's re
port declared that both had met un-
natural deaths. In the case of the
young woman the condition of the
corpse precluded any possibility of de-
termining the manner in which she
was murdered. Decay, caused largely
by lime, had destroyed the tissues sO
that the organs are scarcely suscepti-
ble tc chemical analysis, and there is
not enough flesh left to ghow evidence
of wounds. The crumbling skull re-
vealed none.
Helgelein's body had been in the
ground only a few months at most,
and it gave evidence of a death strug:
gle. The clenched hand, which con-
tained hair, had been mutilated, and
the other hand had been severed at
the wrist. Of this body the official
report says:
“From the findings it is evident that
the man died an unnatural death, but
at whose hands or how cannot be de
termined by the examinations so far.
The hair in the hand is likely from the
head of his murderer, or the stomach
may show poison, if any killed him.”
The conclusion of State Attorney
Smith and the officers at work on the
case is that the body at the Cutler
morgue is that of Mrs. Guinness. They
are believers in the theory that Ray
Lamphere set fire to the house. The
evidence which the state has in its
possession tends to prove that Mrs.
Guinness and her three children are
dead, and that Ray Lamphere is guilty
of their murder.
It is the prosecutor's theory that
Lamphere had gained knowledge of
the means by which Andrew Helge
lein was done to death; that the pris
oner attempted to use this knowledge
to extort money from the woman, and
that she became frightened at hie
threats and undertook the series of
prosecutions against him, which re
sulted in his trial before a lunacy com:
mission, and in his being thrice ar
rested at her instigation; that Lamp
here attempted to wreak vengeance
on her for these actions, and for her
refusals to give him money or tc con
tinue the relations which had existed
between them prior to the appearance
in January of Helgelein; that the fire
at the Guinness home was started by
Lamphere, but that he had no idea
of causing the deaths of Mrs. Guinness
and the children.
Mrs. Guinness Was Not a Mother.
Chicago, May 12.—According to the
stories told in the suburb of Austin,
where Mrs. Belle Guinness formerly
resided, she was not the mother of
any of the children who bore her name,
but all of them were adopted by her.
Andrew Olsen, a cousin of Mads
Sorenson, the first husband of the wo-
man, said: “It was common talk
among the neighbors and even among
her relatives that the children were
not actually her's, but were adopted
in their infancy.”
Chicks Hatched In a Warm Tool Box.
Pittsburg, May 12.—Six weeks ago
a workman in the Pennsylvania repair
shops in Allegheny left two dozen eggs
in an abandoned tool box in the round-
house. Steam pipes go through the
box. All over the eggs a heavy layer
of soft coal soon settled. Three weeks
ago fourteen sooty chicks arrived. It
was found that the steam pipes kept
the temperature of the box at 103 de
grees. A second hatch of twenty
chicks appeared, sooty, but healthy.
Another hatch is being prepared. Born
among the clanging noises of the
round house, every chick, so far dis-
covered, is deaf.
Falls Three Stories Into Baby Carriage
New York, May 12.—Leaning too far
out on the window ledge of the front
third floor of a tenement, three-year
old Robert Prendelbitt, in throwing
crumbs to sparrows on the fire escape
below, lost his hold and fell, landing
in a sitting position in a baby carriage
that some one had left on the side
walk. His mother saw him fall and
rushed downstairs, expecting to see
her child dead. Instead, she found an
excited crowd of neighbors around the
baby carriage examining the young-
ster, who was too frightened to cry.
Cut Off Little Sister's Hand.
Shippensburg, Pa, May 12.—At-
tempting to cut birch with a heavy
«xe, the nine-year-old daughter of C,
B. Stake, an Amberson valley farmer,
chopped off the hand of her six-year-
oid sister at the wrist.
Postoffice Robbers Get Eight Years.
Trenton, N. J., May 12.—John Burns
and William McKoy were given a
sentence of eight years each for break-
ing into the post offices at Bridgeport
and Pedricktown, N. J.

CORNER STONE LAID
The President Officiates at Peace
Temple Exercises.
Washington, May 12. — President
Roosevelt laid the corner-stone of the
first international temple of peace,
friendship and commerce yet to be
erected—the tangible evidence of the
desire of the twenty-one American re-
publics that war shall be no more in
the western world.
Fitting the historical importance of
the event the exercises were made im-
pressive by the participation of the
heads of each of these republics. Fol-
lowing addresses by President Roose-
velt, Secretary Root, Ambassador Na-
buco, of Brazil, and Andrew Carnegie,
a' cabled sentiment expressing the
hearty approval of each president was
read. Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop
Cranston pronounced an invocation
and benediction of the work done, and
the United States marine band played
gelections of Pan-American music.
The new building is to be the joint
property of all the republics. Three-
quarters of a million dollars towards
the construction of the building is the
contribution of Mr. Carnegie, while
each of the republics has added an ap-
propriation to the fund.
The building is to be the home of
the international bureau maintained by
the American republics and is to be
made the centre of a continuous cam-
paign of education, where one country
may obtain accurate and up-to-date
information of every other. A library
on all subjects American is to be de-
veloped, and a propaganda maintained
intended to bring all American govern-
ments nearer together.

CIRCUS WAGON IN RUNAWAY
Two Horses Crushed to Death By
Chariot With Hippopotamus In It.
Cleveland, O., May 12.—Eight horses
attached to a big circus wagon with
a hippopotamus in it became frighten-
ed during a parade and ran away.
They dashed down Scranton road hill
at a terrific speed. The driver tried to
check them. He threw on the brakes,
but the weight of the wagon was 8°
great that the brake broke.
Finally the two front horses broke
loose from the wagon. The whiffletree
snapped, and the last two horses were
entangled in the harness. Both fell.
The great wheels rolled over them
and they were instantly crushed to
death. The back wheels caught on the
bodies of the horses, however, and the
chariot came to a stop.
The big, frightened animal inside
jammed himself against his cage and
endeavored to break loose. Had he
got out there would probably have
been many killed. But the keepers
finally quieted the terrified beast after
the wagon came to a standstill.

it? Shall I order it?”

Piedmont stables, on Marietta street
near Spring. Half a block away the
Orpheus theatre was crowded with
persons watching a vaudeville per-
formance. As the audience started to
leave some one ran through the lobby
shouting “fire.” In another noment
