Lamphere's arrest after the burning
of the Qunness home waa the result of
charges made against him by Mrs. Qun
ness a short time before her death. She
complained of the man's attentions to
her and said that although she had dis
charged him he continued to hang
around her farm. She asserted that
Lampher hadMhreatened to burn her
home and said she was afraid of him.
It has also been learned that a few days
before her death Mrs. Qunness made
her will, which Included provision for
her burial.
After Heltecreen's body was discov
ered in the sack the police dug deeper
and unearthed th skeleton of a woman,
who had been buried directly beneath
the place where the South Dakotan'a
body lay. This skeleton is believed to
be the remains of , Jennie Olson, an
adopted daughter of Mrs. Gunness. who
disappeared September, 190ff. At that
time Mrs. Qunness said the girl had
gone to Los Angeles to make her home
with relatives. .
Mrs. Qunness' two husbands died un
der suspicious circumstances. The first.
Max Sorenaon, was Insured for 18,500,
and the last, Qunness, had $S,600 on his
life.
The delivery of five large trunks at
the Qunness farm during the past six
months leads th 'detectives to believe
that the place was a clearing house for
a Dana 01 muraerers wno snipped
the bodies of . their victim there for
burial. Th entlr farmyard Is being

Three Ken Slsapepar,
Mrs. Cristoferson who lived -near the
Gunness family, told" the sheriff today
that a year ago she saw a strange man,
wearing a fur overcoat, enter the Qun
ness home. He became Mrs. Qunness'
hired man, but later disappeared. After
his disappearance, Mr. Gunness wore
the fur overcoat, explaining that the
man bad given It to her. - -
Shortly afterward, Mrs. CristofeVBon
Stated, a large man wearing a heavy
red mustache appeared , at the Qunness
home. Three weeks later he disap
peared, Mrs. Qunness explaining that
he. had answered one of her "matri
