TELLS EARLY LIFE!
friend of Bella Gunness'
Childhood Found.
TRAVELED AS CONJURER
Her Father a Strolling Magician,
Very Brutal and Iavlsn 'With His
Money Woman Said to Have
Unfinished Divorce Suit,
CHRISTIANIA, May IS. In addition to
the fact previously mentioned in these
dispatches .that Mrs. Bella Gunness was
the daughter of Fetters Paulsen, a trav
eling conjurer and musician, and per
formed with her father at public fairs
in Norway, the Associated Press has
gathered here and at Trondjera many
additional details of her family history.
Her mother was regarded as a respect
able woman. Her father, a Swede of
gypsy origin, was a clever illusionist.
Hip daughter Bella, when about 6 or 8
years old. used to travel with' bis com
pany everywhere in the country and was
especially well known in Christiania.
An old artist friend of Paulsen was
found here today. His name is Julius
Bastel. He says he first met Paulsen
at Karrstad. Sweden, in 1S6S. He Is de
scribed as having been a brutal man and
lavish with his money. Bella Paulsen
was confirmed at Christiansand, South
Norway, in 1876. her dress for the occasion
being ordered from Paris. Shortly after
ward Paulsen retired from business and
Invested his savings in a glassware store
at Trondjem, but lost his all and re
sumed the performing business. His
daughter remained at Christiania, Bastel
says, and in 1S80 or 1S90 married an en
gineer. Bastel has not seen her since
IKH.
Old Paulsen Is paid to have died last
year at Nasvik from the effects of fall
ing down a flight of stairs. It vis re
ported that the daughter, before leaving
Norway, was a participant in a suit in
the divorce court and that the case never
has been finished.
MAY' BE JAW OP MRS. GXTXXESS
Bone Taken From Ruins Partly
Identified.
LA PORTE, Ind., May 15. "There Is no
lestion but that the piece of Jawbone
tound on the Gunness farm yesterday is
from a human being. Furthermore, it
ars a strong resemblance to the lower
law of Mrs. Gunness."
This positive statement of Identification
was made by Ir. I, P. Norton, the dentist
ir ho performed a large amount of work
n the toeth of the owner of the death
tarm, after he had examined the Jawbone.
"There is almost no chance that the
bone came from the Jaw of an animal."
ae- said. "There only remains to be dis-
rovered some of the gold which I placed
opon the cuspid to make the identification
t this piece of bone perfect and com
plete. So far as I myself am concerned.
( am certain as to the origin of the bone
Bow."
Sheriff Smulzer also brought In to Dr.
Norton a number of new bits of metal
tound In the debris this morning. They
proved, however, to be brass. Otherwise
the search at the farm was fruitless.
The report of the Coroner's physi
cians to the effect that the Jawbones
found at the Gunness farm yesterday
came from the skull of an adult human
being. Is all that Is required to con
firm the establishment of the corpus
delicti In tile case against Ray Um
phere. according to the prosec uting of
ficials of this county. Just when this
formal report will be made Is uncer
tain. Sheriff Smulzer was Jubilant over his
discoveries last night, and resumed his
Investigations today. When the screen
ing is nnlihed the Sheriff has the sluic
ing and panning method to fall back

ing evidence has given several results
already, although the amount of ashes
gone over has Deej inconsiderable.
It Is alleged on the tremendous heat

state must depend for support of its
contention that the head of Mrs. Gun

ness -was incinerated on the morning
of April 28.
The first of the Gunness victims to
be interred with Christian rites was
buried tonight in'Patton's Cemetery on
the outskirts of La Porte. The corpse
was that of Andrew K. Hegeleln, of
Mansfield, N. D., the last man to meet
his death In the trap to which Mrs.
Gunness lured her victims. The body
was removed for burial this evening
after Coroner Mack had received the
reports of the Bertillon experts who
have examined H, and compared their
findings with figures taken from the
records of the Minnesota penitentiary
at Stillwater. The burial rites of the
Swedish Lutheran church were read
at the morgue by a minister, and two
men followed the coffin to tile grave
by the light of a lantern.

Will Testify in Effort to Secure
His Freedom.
EXPERTS DO NOT AGREE
Some Declare He Is Sane, Others
That He Would Be Menace to 'So
ciety How Thaw Felt When
He Killed Stanford White.
'
THIONTESTND
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., May 15. Ex
amination of expert medical witnesses in
an endeavor to show that Harry K.
Thaw is sane was begun here late today
by-Thaw's counsel in the habeas corpus
proceedings instituted to free him from
confinement at the Matteawan asylum
for the criminal insane, where he was
lodged at the conclusion of his trial for
the killing of Stanford White.
Or. George G. ' Jacoby, qualifying as
an expert, said that he had examined
Thaw twice during his stay at Mattea
wan. He had found Thaw, he said, logi
cal, with good memory and capable of
following an argument. He gave it as
his unqualified opinion that Thaw was
sane at present. Dr. Graeme Hammond,
another expert on mental diseases, the
last witness of the session, deelared that
Thaw was not a paranoiac, in his opin
ion, but was now sane.
An Interesting development of the day
was the quoted report of A. Russell Pea
body, of Thaw's counsel, that Thaw
would go on the witness stand.
Experts called by Mr. Jerome earlier
in the day testified that in their opinion
Thaw was an incurable paranoiac and
that his release would be dangerous to
public safety.
Experts Do Not Agree.
Dr. Carlos F. Macdonald testified that
Thaw is an incurable paranoiac, whose
confinement is demanded by consider
ations of public safety. Dr. Amos T.
Baker, acting superintendent of the
asylum, asserted on the witness stand
that from his observations made in the
asylum he was of the opinion that to
free Thaw would endanger public
safety. ,
District Attorney Jerome at 4:15 this
afternoon rested his case. It Is prob
able that further witnesses will be
called by Mr. Jerome In rebuttal.
Dr. Baker, acting superintendent of the
asylum at Matteawan, was called by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, not as an expert,
but to give the court a statement of
Thaw's conduct during the three months
he was in the Matteawan institution, be
ginning February L 1908.
Dr. Baker related conversations with
Thaw in which the latter told of epilepsy
or nervous excitements suffered by a sis
ter and an uncle. Thaw, the witness said,
also told of the desultory way in which
his education was acquired. At 7 years
of age, he said, he had had St. Vitus'
dance. He described an attack of pneu
monia at Monte Carlo, concerning which
he did not agree with the diagnosis of his
physicians. Thaw told Dr. Baker, the
latter said, that he used tobacco at 18,
used alcohol in moderation and denied
ever using drugs. The witness said Thaw
described his movements before the shoot
ing since his return from Europe and his
marriage to Miss Nesbit. He gave his
age as 37, though he was 34 when he en
tered the hospital.
Says He Is Impersonated.
Thaw told the witness that at
his trial , some of the doctors had
greatly exaggerated their estimates
of his condition; that they had In mind a
nephew of his, whom they had examined,
who traveled under the same name, and
was often taken for him. He said that
his lawyer and doctors did very clever
work In his defense, Mr. Baker said
Thaw said to him:
"If I was ever insane In my life the
attack began one minute before I shot
White, and ended half a minute after
ward." The doctor repeated a description that
Thaw gave him of the house alleged to
have been maintained by Stanford sWhlte
and others. He said that these men had
plotted to put him in an asylum to pre
vent him from exposing their alleged mls
deedb, "He told me that- ha -appealed to ills

Helen Gould and was referred by her to
Anthony Comstock," said Dr. .Baker.
"Thaw said that detectives employed by
him to watch White and the latter's house
Informed him that he was in danger."
When the witness asked him to give
the substance of the detectives' reports,
he refused to answer, "by advice of coun
sel." Dr. Baker continued:
"He said that his physicians and
lawyers had advised him not to discuss
what had occurred on the Madison Square
Roof Garden the night he shot Stanford
White. He volunteered, however, this
much. He compared his situation at that
moment to that of a man standing on the
brink of a precipice, seized with an irre
sistible impulse, to Jump."
FORAKER HELD THE KEY
(Continued From First Page.)
Taft is proof against that. He would
rather lose - the Presidency than enter
into a deal to sell out his Ohio friends,
who are determined to take Mr. For
aker's scalp. But the Senators think
there are other ways of taking the hide
oft this troublesome feline. They hope
Mr. Taft's Ohio friends, who want to
make sure of his nomination and election,
will hold out the olive branch to the
leader of the black contingent.
PRESIDENT UPHELD BY COURT
Negro Dismissed at Brownsville
Loses Suit to Recover Pay.
NEW YORK, May IS. The right of
President Roosevelt summarily to dis
miss a negro soldier of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry for alleged participation In the
riot at Brownsville, Tex., was sustained
today by Judge Hough, in the United
States District Court. Oscar W. Held,
the soldier, sued the Government to re
cover 1122 as wages from the date of his
dismissal to the expiration of his enlist
ment District Attorney Stlmson con
tended that the President had a right to
dismiss the soldier. Judge Hough sus
tained this contention and directed a
judgment In favor of the Government.
Judge Hough In his decision held that
the President was entirely within his
rights In dismissing the soldiers of the
Twenty-flfth Regiment, Inasmuch as the
enlistment papers and oath provide that
a soldier shall serve "for the period of
three years unless sooner discharged by
proper authority."
The President is proper authority, the
decision declares, and continues:
Whether Reld or his comrade or any of
them was guilty or the rlotoue disturbances,
or whether Reld personally committed any
infraction of good order or military disci
pline or whether he Is in fact a desirable
soldier, or knew or withheld anything tend
ing toward the discovery of the perpetra
tors of the Brownsville riot; or whether, no
far as Reld or others are concerned, the
President's action was unnecessarily severe,
cruel or unjust, are questions beyond this
Judicial decision. By the soldier's contract
the burden of military service Is not for a
definite time, but for three years unless
discharg-ed by proper authority.
I do not give assent to the assertion that
a soldier's engagement Is or bears much
resemblance to a civil contract of "aire; but
on the Assumption that It is such a contract
terminable at will. If that will be expressed
through a proper officer.
Judgment was directed against the pe
tioner, with costs. .

Discharged Employe Fights With
Ex-Employer.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 15. Ulmer
Green, a prominent orchardist, and How
ard Cook, formerly employed by him,
killed one another in a pistol duel on
Green's ranch, near Freeport, 12 miles

since that time has laid in wait for an
opportunity to kill his former employer.
This afternoon he fired at Green, hitting
him in the stomach. Green fired back
at Cook, sending a bullet Into the lat
ter's brain. Both dropped dead, and the
bodies were eventually discovered by Mrs.
Green.

Canadian Manufacturer Contradict!
Trust's Story and Trust Presi-
dent Repeats Story. j
WASHINGTON, May 15. The Hour
special committee which Is conducting
an investigation of the paper trust sat
till a late hour tonight in an effort to
complete the hearings and report its
findings to Congress before the session
closes. From the point of view of the
newspaper publishers the most signifi
cant development of today'B session was
the introduction of a telegram from the-..
J. R. Booth Paper Company, of Ottawa.
Canada, stating that the company pays
some of its skilled laborers higher wages
than are paid in this country. Publish
ers say that this Information goes far
to bear out their allegation that the
statement of the wood pulp men that an
increase in the price of paper was owing
chiefly to concessions to labor is not In
accord with the facts.
John Norris' statement that American
and Canadian manufacturers have en
tered into an agreement whereby Cana
dian manufacturers keep out of the
Eastern markets was denied by Davis S.
Cowles, president of the American Paper
& Pulp Association, and several others
prominently identified with the paper
making industry. Mr. Cowles Informed
the committee that the association of
which he is president' really exists in
name only.
As a matter of fact, he said, last April
Canadian paper had been offered to Her
man Ridder, president of the 'Publishers'
Association, at $2.40 per hundred pounds,
delivered in the pressroom in New York.
Mr. Cowles reiterated a statement he
had made some time ago that wages at
his mills had advanced 40 per cent.
