HOW
I
KILLED HUSBAND
Brother of Gunness Tells of
Marriage to La Porte
Monster.
DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
Mrs. Gunness Said Sausage Machine
Fell on Man's Head, Then Tried
to Win Brother, hut He
i
Was Suspicious.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 12. Gus Gunness,
brother ot Peter S. Gunness, tha sec
ond husband of Mrs. Bella Gunness. the
La Porte murderess, HveB In this city
at 2408 Thirtieth Avenue South. Today he
told ot his brother's marriage to the
woman, said that twice he himself was
at her farm, and was once urged by
Mrs. Gunness to manage the place.
"I first met Mrs. Gunness when we
lived in Janesville, Wis.," he said. "Mrs.
Gunness lived there for a time. Peter
knew her before that In Chicago. He
boarded with her there, when he worked
In a butcher shop, and when she came
to Janesville she often called on our
mother. Peter did not meet her through
a matrimonial agency.
Married Her Suddenly.
"Peter was married after he came to
Minneapolis. He lived at 3024 Hennepin
avenue and worked as an order man for
a grocery house. His wife died about
bIx years ago at the Hennepin-avenue
House and he suddenly left. The next
we heard of him he was In La Porte and
had married Mrs. Gunness. We thought
nothing of It except that he married
pretty soon after the death of his wife.
Neither mother nor myself knew any
thing at that time against his wife. My
brother wrote frequently and said they
had a nice place there.
"When he went to La Porte, Peter took
Ills daughter Swanhllde and baby Philip
iwith him., Three months after the mar
riage In La Porte, the baby died and the
ailment was never diagnosed. They called
a physician and death was attributed to
natural causes, although there was no
official Investigation.
Explanation of His Death.
"Five years ago last December Mrs.
Gunness wrote me that Peter had been
accidentally killed. A sausage-grinding
machine fell on his head, she wrote. I
went Immediately to La Porte and arrived
there before the funeral, which took place
from the house. There was a small wound
on the top of Peter's head, which Mrs.
Gunness said was caused by the ma
chine falling from a shelf back of the
stove. Oniy he and Mrs. Gunness were In
the house at the time.
"Her explanation excited some suspicion
and there was an Investigation. The
woman said Gunness was leaning over
to tie his shoe when the shelf gave way
and the machine fell on his head. She
rushed Into the room to find him dead.
The Coroner was summoned and after
weighing the machine and measuring the
distance of. the fall, he said the blow
could easily have caused death. Neigh
bors talked some, but nothing ever came
of It.
Tried to Win Brother.
"I stayed there several days, Mrs Gun
ness begged me continuously to stay with
her and manage the farm. 'We can get
along nicely together,' she said, 'and we
will make money, for I know you are a
good farmer.' However, I refused. I did
not like her looks."
In spite of all the crimes charged to
the woman. Gunness says, she was really
fond of children and treated his niece
Swanhllde and her own children well.
HOW VICTIMS WERE KJIjLjED
Drugged, Stabbed With Dirk and
Then Cut to Pieces.
LA PORTE. Ind., May 12. Evidence
to establish the identity of three addi
tional victims of Mrs. Bella Gunness
was the most positive development of
a day filled with contradictory hap
pening's. Both prosecution and defense
received setbacks from the discoveries
and revelations, but on the whole sub
stantial progress was made toward
bringing the case to the state, where
It will be transferred to the courts.
The reports of the four physicians
who conducted the postmortem exam
inations on the bodies found in the
ruins of the Gunness home were given
to the Coroner's Jury this morning.
They fail to establish the manner In
which the woman, and three children
met death, and it is probable that the
Coroner's jury will return an open ver
dict regarding them. The procedure In
Indiana does not provide for Coroner's
Juries to consider the individual con
clusions of Dr. Mack.
Drugged and Then Stabhed.
As to the manner of death of the ten
murdered persons whose bodies were
uncovered In a little patch of ground
guarded by closely-woven wire netting,
that they came to their deaths through
the administration of a deadly amount
of chloral has been proven. The places
at which the drug was purchased dur
ing the last eight years have been
found. That the inanimate corpses
then were dismembered either in a
chamber of horrors on the second floor
of the Gunness home or In the base
ment, has been shown.
Additional evidence on this point was
unearthed this morning. Almost two
dozen pairs of scissors, bent and curved
In the fashion of surgical instruments,
are said to have been found in the
ashes In the cellar, and In addition
three knives, two of a surgical char
acter and another an unmistakable
dirk, were picked up. In the absence
of evidence to the contrary. It is be
lieved that the dirk may have been
the chief weapon employed in the series
of murders. An expert hand could
easily have slipped the snake-like
weapon between the ribs of the victims
and penetrated the heart.
Signs of Death Struggle.
The fact that there was no mark of
penetrating wounds on Andrew Helge
leln's body is. a possible refutation of
this theory. Helgelein succumbed only
after a fierce strggle. In which he tore
a handful of hair from the person of
his murderer. Chloroform or some
other deadening drug Is thought to
have been used to subdue his death
struggle, after which some deadly poi
son was used to encompass his death.
In all the other bodies found on the
farm there is no negative evidence to
disprove the dirk theory, although the
condition of the cadavers precludes
definite information on this point. The
knives and scissors are thought to
have been used in dismembering the
bodies. Each corpse was mutilated in
practically tho same manner, the bodies
of the latest victims showing particu
larly expert anatomical work.
Mrs. C O. Lap ham, of La. Porte,, who
for six years was a neighbor of Mrs.
Gunness, says that on the only occa
sion on which she called upon her
neighbor, her hostess sat near an open
window until a strong breeze through
this opening blew aside the folds of a
loose dress which Mrs. Gunness was
wearing, and revealed about her body
a wire belt containing pouches of vari
ous sizes and sheaths, which seemed to
have been constructed for knives.
Mystery In the Rings.
Dr. J. Lucius Gray, who performed
the autopsy on the body which the au
thorities have steadfastly claimed is
that of Mrs. Belle Gunness, in his report
tells of three rings which were found
on the corpse, and also reveals the fact
that the right hand, hitherto declared
missing, is still in existence.
The rings, which might be expected
to reveal the identity of the wearer,
only add to the mystery of the case.
Two of them contain inscriptions, one
being "P. S. to J. &, August 22. "94,"
and the other, "P. G. to J. S., March 5,
'95." Mrs. Gunness' husband was Peter
Gunness, but the identity of "J. S." and
"P. S." is a puzzle.
Jennie Olsen, it is suggested, may
have een the owner of the rings, but
the sizes of the circles, taken in con
nection with the date and the fact that
she was born in 1879, preclude this as
a definite conclusion.
William Schulze today began sluic
ing the ashes in the ruins and found
something which was at first believed
to be Mrs. Gunness' gold-filled tooth,
but proved to be a piece of gilt picture
molding.
ANOTHER INTENDED VICTIM
Mrs. Gunness Writes Kansas Man
to Come With $1000.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 12. Christian
Hansen, a Norwegian laborer, of Armour
dale, Kan., a suburb, last Saturday re
ceived a letter from Mrs. Belle Gunness,
the La Porte. Ind., murderess, stating
that If he could produce $1000 cash she
would marry him. The text of the letter,
which had remained in the local Post
office several days before Its delivery to
Hansen, follows:
La Porte, Ind., March 1, 1908. Mr.
Christian Hansen, No. 60S North Third
street, Armourdale, Kan. Dear Sir: I am
a lonly Norwegian woman and you have
been recommended to me by a mutual friend
who telis me you have plenty of this world's
Roods and have a kind and generous dis
position. I live on a little 72-acre farm.
Just 50 miles from Chicago, with a cozy
12-room cottage, kitchen and the rest and
badly need a good, kind husband to look
after myself and small family of three
children. I have two little girls and a. boy
5 years old. His father died five years ago
when he was a little baby so he needs a
father and one who will aid in his bringing
up.
Tou understand that I hire help Tiers, but
none of the men I hire can be depended
upon, so you must not come as a hired man
but as my husband and I will entertain you
under my roof until we understand each
other. You will find me competent and of a
very loving disposition. I have plenty of
money upon which to live. You must have
plenty of money, too. In order that I may
know that you are not a grafter and do not
marry me for my money, you must be sure
and bring with you J1O0O in currency. I
live only a few miles from t Porte and
have a splendid farm and a nice little
garden. Lovingly yours.
MRS. B. S. GUNNBSS.
Hansen is what is known as a straw
boss in the lard department of the Cuda
hy Packing Company's plant. He is 36
years old, and says he was once a Cap
tain of Artillery in Norway. His father
holds a position of rank in the Swedish
navy. Fifteen years ago he ran away
from' home and came to America. Since
then he has worked at Armourdale. Dis
cussing the receipt of the delayed letter
from Mrs. Gunness, Hansen said:
"Only one thing about her I know she
Is not a Norwegian. My people don't do
the way she does."
IiAMPIIERK CONFESSED TO HIM
Methodist Expresses Belief Mrs.
Gunness Is Still Alive.
BALTIMORE, May 12. That Ray
Lamphere, charged with the burning
of the Gunness home and' the death of
its occupants near La Porte, Ind., made
a statement connected with the case to
the Rev. E. A. Schell, of La Porte, was
admitted by Mr. Schell. The latter,
who is pastor of the M. E. Church
at La Porte and a delegate to the M.
E. General Conference here, refused to
divulge anything as to its nature.
"My lips are sealed," said Mr.
Schell. "I got these things as in the
confessional. I found that the prose
cuting officers were sweating Lam
phere and I appealed for fair play in
his behalf. I think that he should be
allowed to have a lawyer and I told
them so.
"But I advised Lamphere to tell the
prosecutor exactly what he told me and
I think he will do so. He seems to be
a thoroughly penitent man."
Mr. Schell said that he has no doubt
that Mrs. Gunness is alive. Pressed to
night as to the details of the state
ment made to him by Lamphere, he
said that the statement did not include
a confession that Lamphere set Are to
the Gunness house, but related exclu
sively to matters that had transpired
a month or more ago.
"Man From Chicago" Identified.
CHICAGO, May 12 Friends of Her
amn Konitzer, who disappeared Janu
ary, 1906, have become convinced that
he was one of the victims of Mrs. Gun
ness. They believe that he Is the "man
from Chicago" described by Lamphere.
who vanished suddenly while a guest
at the Gunness' farm, and who was
said by Mrs. Gunness to have "gone
South for his health." Konitzer came
to this country only three months be
fore his disappearance.
TRIAL TO TAKE SOME TIME
Attorneys Hope to Prove Diniond
Knew of Hyde's Business.
WASHINGTON. May 12. It is evi
dent that the trial of Messrs. Hyde,
Benson, Dimond and Schneider, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the Gov
ernment out of valuable lands in the
West, will occupy more time than was
at first thought. Further testimony by
Walter K. Slack, formerly employed by
Hyde, as to the Joint account of Hyde
and Benson and the examination of
Irving Rittenhouse and John McPhall,
of the Land Office, occupied today's
session of the court. United States
District Attorney Baker elicited from
Slack the statement that, while Hyde's
employe, he charged to the joint ac
count of Benson and Hyde all of the
expenses of Henry P. Dimond, prior to
and including his trip to Washington.
From the testimony of Rittenhouse to
day and the testimony of Secret Serv
ice Agent Burns, April 24, together
with certain letters alleged to have
been written by Dimond to himself, the
Government's attorneys hope to prove
that Dimond had knowledge of much
of the business conducted by Hyde.
"Iron Man" Loses Tame Fight.
OAKLAND, May 12. Al Kaufman, the

LEAVES FAITHLESS
DAUGHTERS DOLLAR
Mrs. Howard Gould and Mrs.
Sun Yue Let Father Die
in an Asylum.
TOTALLY VARIED CAREERS
One Goes Way of Idle Rich and One
Marries Chinaman and Takes to
Charity Father Said to Have
Driven Them From Home.
PITTSFIELD, 111., May 12. Mrs
Howard Gould, wife of the multi-millionaire
New Yorker, and her sister,
Mrs. Sun Yue. wife of a San Francisco
Chinaman, and devoted to slum work
on the Coast, were bequeathed one
dollar each by the will of their father,
Seldon Perry Clemmons, filed here to
day. His estate, which is valued at
J6000. is left to his widow during her
lifetime, with the exception of the $2
mentioned.
Seldon Perry Clemmons, broken in
body and mind by worry over the es
capades of his daughters, 70 years of
age and practically neglected by his
children, was adjudged insane by a
commission In the Pike County court
March 6 last, and sent to the asylum
at Jacksonville, Illinois. The commit
ment was for the remainder of his life,
and he died there May 8. He was to
tally blind and In a most wretched
physical and mental condition.
Daughters Send No Word.
So far as known, no word ever came
to the desolate man from either of his
daughters, although they were ap
prised of his commitment to the asy
lum. In the event either had ex
pressed a desire to care for him, the
state authorities might have permitted
them to take him away, so that he
would not have passed away in an asy
lum, attended only oy paid employes.
Before his mind failed, the old man
grieved much o.ver the actions of his
daughters. Stories of the marvelous
wardrobes of Katherine Clemmons
Gould, her $12,000 automobile and
1400,000 steam yacht only served to In
crease his sufferings. '
When his daughter Ella became the
wife of a Chinaman in San Francisco,
the old man seemed to lose his grip on
life and reason, although he thought
her career fully as commendable, if not
more so, than that of Katherine.
Have Totally Different Careers.
While one daughter was spending
money like water in the East, the
other was teaching the English lan
guage to Chinese in San Francisco and
taking care of lepers in such hideously
advanced stages that even professional
nurses and physicians avoided the ser
vice. Ella resumed tne name of Clem
mons and sold papers on the streets to
secure funds for her charity work.
Following the earthquake, she became
the wife of Sun Yue, and for a time
they lived in a tent. It is believed.
however, that her married existence is
much happier than that of her New
York sister. '
On behalf of the girls. It has been
said that their father was not always
kind to them and that they were prac
tically forced to go out and combat the
world for the right to live. The fact
that the old man left an estate of $6000
shows that he did not need their as
sistance. HOPE TO DEFEAT BILL

them to say."
At this Juuncture Foraker offered to
Rayner a letter which Colonel Stewart
had written to the War Department from
Fort Grant, asking permission to come
to Washington and appear in his own
defence against the hardoaips inflicted
upon him. Rayner read the Stewart let
ter from Fort Grant, in which the offi
cer declared that for four months he had
no companionship except that of a care
taker and a teamster, the former an in
valid; that the building In which he
lived was not heated properly; that snow
and sleet found their way through cracks
and that there were no sanitary conven
iences. President Not Above Law.
Taking up the legal questions Involved,
Rayner said:
"The President says' he is above the
law In this matter. I say that he is mis
taken, and that he is subject to every
law and regulation Congress can pass."
He proceeded to quote a large number
of authorities.
Rayners' remarks were applauded by
the galleries.
Upon the conclusion of the President's
letter Rayner agreed to call his resolu
tion up tomorrow for action by the Sen
ate, Warren indicating that he desired
to have it referred to the committee on
military affairs.
Roosevelt's Severe Inciter.
In order that the President's letter to
Rayner might be regarded as before the
Senate, it was read In full after the Sena
tor concluded his speech. It covers nine
typewritten pages and for the most part
is a review of Colonel Stewart's quarrels
with officers under him and with citi
zens in the neighborhood of the posts
where he has been assigned. His con
duct is condemned by the President In
the severest language as unfitting him
for any command, particularly for the
rank of Brigadier-General, which the
President declares to be Stewart's aim.
The President calls Stewart a "nui
sance." The letter also deals with the
legal questions involved and with the
various matters quoted in part by Ray
ner in his running comment.

CONTRACT NOT PRODUCED
Chairman Mann Scores Newspapers
for Not Helping Inquiry Into
the Wood Pulp Tariff
Question.
WASHINGTON, May 12. In connection
with the wood pulp tariff investigation,
Chairraann Mann, of the House commit
tee having the matter in charge, today
made sharp complaint of the failure of
the newspaper publishers to come for
ward and supply the committee with
facts bearing upon their charges. He
called attention to their criticisms and
then contrasted them with the refusal of
many of them to supply the information
which he said was necessary for the
committee to have In preparing Its re
port. He declared It to be tho desire of
the committee to report during this ses
sion, but Intimated that the course of
the publishers might prevent its doing so.
When the inquiry was resumed today,
John C. Norris, the representative of
the Publishers' Association, continued his
statement. He stated that last year
the International Paper Company imports
from Canada were 170.000 tons. He
quoted from a newspaper article to show
that the company took the pulp that was
imported and put it Into Its export pa
per, in order that it might get the bene
fit of the reduced cost, as It would save
four-fifths of $1.67 on every ton Imported
by reason of rebates from the Govern
ment. At this point the committee was met
with the refusal of the New York Times
to produce its contract with the Inter
national Paper Company. Mr. Norris
had said that the Boston Herald, accord
ing to his understanding, had a contract
with the International Paper Company
calling for shipments on the basis of
cost of manufacture and providing for
an audit to determine the cost.
"Is thla similar to the New York
Times' contract?" asked Mr. 91ms.
"So I understand." replied Mr. Norris.
-By the way," interposed Mr. Mann,
"we have not yet had that Times con
tract." "I have been asked to state that the
New York Times Company declined to
furnish its contract, replied, Mr. Nor
ris. "I am, however, willing to answer
freely and fully every question put to me
within my knowledge and give all the
information I have.
"Yet the New York Times Is unwilling
to furnish testimony on which relief can
be granted," said Chairman Mann.
'T don't think I would state the ease
In that way," replied Mr. Norris. "It
might be said that It is unfair to take
out one newspaper and make its business
and its contract the basis for this entire
Investigation, while there . are other
newspapers with larger contracts and
larger prices about which no inquiry hae
been made. If you take all of them and
make all show up, It would be on an
entirely different basis.
The case of the newspaper publishers
has been presented to the special com
mittee of the House. When the commit
tee adjourned today, John Norris, the
representative of the American Newspa
per Publishers' Association, announced
that he had finished his statement, but
he will be on the stand tomorrow, as
members of the committee desire to
question him. The next witnesses td be
examined probably will be the paper
manufacturers.
Mr. Norris today described the forma
tion of the International Paper Company
and said that the cost of manufacture of
paper Is greater under the consolidation
than under the Individual ownership of
the paper mills.
