THE SUSPECT DISCHARGED

tions Monday morning.
Coroner Hoffman's statement fol
lowed a conference between him and
Assistant Chief Schuettlcr over dis
closures just made to the police of
ficials. With the information was
the assistant chief declined to say but
the coroner declared it was by far the
lost important information the Chi
cago police have yet received.
"I am now almost positive, "said
tthe coroner," that the woman's body
found in the ruins of the La Porte
Some was not that of Mrs. Guinnes,
but that she is still alive.
As a result of the disclosures made
the assistant plans to excavate the
basement and premises about the
Austin home of the alleged arch
murderess. Permission was secured
yesterday from Daniel Nelles, the
present owner of the house, to make
a thorough search of the premises.
The delay until Monday is caused by
a desire on the part of the assistant
chief to make further and more defi
aite investigation upon the lines on
which he is now working.
of her first husband the coroner does
not say.
OAKLAIIOMA, CITY, May 9-
Grieving because he cannot hear from
'Jennie Olson, the adopted daughter of
Mrs. Guinness, Emil Greening and his
brother Fred, who both worked on the
farm last summer tell stories of mys
terious men who visited the woman's
house and their mysterious disap
pearance. Emil says after Jennie dis
appeared (ostensibly to go to Cali
fornia to school) with a professor, he
was put off with one story or an
other by Mrs. Guinness and never
heard from the Olson girl He says
men came to the Guinness farm every
week and always stayed in the house
and several were never seen to leave
the place. Mrs. Guinness introduced
them as her cousins from different
cities and states.
MARATHON RUN.
CHICAGO, May 9.-A restaurant
leeper informed the police that a man
and woman, the latter greatly resem
, Wing Mrs. Guinness, entered his place
today and ordered a meal. The wait
ress showed them the picture of Mrs.
Guinness in a newspaper and they im
mediately left the place with the meal
ntouched The police are searching
for them.
Dissensions have broken out be
tween the city officials in the matter
of investigation the mysteries of the J
Guinness farm and it is claimed that
the work has been hampered. Wide
spread reports of evidence found tend
ing to prove that the corpse supposed
to be that of Mrs. Bella Guinness is
in reality the body of another woman
said have had their origin in the camp
f the defense members which are of
opposite politica faith to the sheriff
and of the faction opposing the
prosecuting attorney.
Statements credited to Dr. II. P.
Long, one of the physicians who per
formed autopsies on the bodies found
on the Guinness home are repudiated
by him Says he simply said he was
not satisfied as to the identity of the
corpse. Other members of the board
refused to be brought into the ques
tion though Dr. J. H. William
Meyer said he had no doubt that
ft was the corpse of Mrs. Guinness.
The examining board declares the re
port of the skulls of children fractured
are false.
Several articles of adornment be
longing to Mrs. Guinness including
the ring found in the ashes of the
building a few days after the fire.
For the first time since the search was
begun the sheriff failed to discover a
body. Excavations of several points
were made but of no avail. The
search for bodies will be abandoned in
a few days and effort and time de
voted to securing identity of the
odies already uncovered. A number
f inquiries for the missing persons
as beeen directed to the sheriff and
jtirther evidence is being developed to
indicate that Lamphere knew that
everything was not right in the Guin
ness home, even if he did not actual
ly participate in the alleged crimes.
The revelation which stirred the
present activity was made, according
to Coroner Hoffman by a person
whose name heretofore has not been
mentioned in connection with the
Guinness case. That it was given in
good faith the coroner declares he is
now positive, and he is equally con
vinced the information has furnished
a clue to discoveries that may equal if
not eclipse those made at La Porte.
Coroner Hoffman expressed the be
Eef that as early as ten years ago
Bfrs Guinness used the matrimonial
agency as a means by which to carry
on her work of crime. How it would

THE STEAMER ROANOKE HAS
BEEN CHARTERED -IT WILL
ONLY ACCOMMODATE 700
TICKETS, ASTORIA AND RE
TURN, $5.00.
Everythng in the way of details con
cerning the excursion to be made
across the bar have now been com
pleted with the one exception, that of
fixing the date. Secretary Metcalf is
expected to fix this date immediately,
in fact, has been expected to fix be
fore this time. Senator Fulton ves
terday telegraphed him asking him to
do so at once.
Mr. C. If. Callender yesterday re
ceived a telegram from the master of
the Roanoke saying that all preoara
tion including a full line of life pre
servers had been made for the Roan
oke. It will however carry but 700
people on the excursion, it bcina
teemed wisest not to allow more than
this number aboard. Therefore it be
hooves those who wish reservations
to make them at once. The trip will
be about Wednesday the 20th. There
are not a great many reservations
open yet to be made and home people
who desire to make this trip would do
well not to sleep ori their opportuni
ties in case they would prefer to iro
out to see the fleet on the Roanoke to
viewing it from the shore somewhere
along Clatsop Beach or from Seaside.
How Too Much Fat May be Safely
Reduced at Home.
"Oh, that this too, too solid flesh
would melt!" cry the ladies nowadays
as they try to squirm into a orincess
frock. How much would the too gen
erous proportioned dame not give up
ior four inches less in the waist line
ing the complexion to become fair and
beautiful. The cost of the three in
gredients is a mere bagatelle, and one
may, if they prefer, get them separate
ly nd mix them together at home.
