Defense - "Witnesses Beheld
Her Six' Weeks After
the Fire, They Say.
(United Press Leased Wirt.) .
La Forte, Ind., Nov. 21.- Three wit
nesses swore positively at today's ses
sion of the trial of Ray Lamphere,
charged' with murdering Mr. Belle
Ounness and her three children, that
they saw Mrs. Gunness in the flesh
on July 9, six Weeks after the Are In
which she is supposed to have been
1 burned to death, '' ' -
The "witness did not say the woman
my saw "iooitea line" Mrs. uunness.
They said they could not be mistaken.
She was Mrs. Ounness.
This testimony was given Just be-
. fore adjournment, ' after the , defense
had spent practically the whole day In
troducing ! expert testimony , to prove
..mm ine crown wont round in tne
. ruin or the Uunness home and Identl
Jied as having been In Mrs. 'Ounness
mouth could not have been subjected
to the terrific heat of the fire and must
have been put in the ruins after the
: tire. The defense holds that this tes-
tlmonv . Droves that the ; bodv of the
adult female found' in the ruins, there
fore,- couia not nave oeen that or Mrs,
Ounness. -
It was "a. M. Hudson and hll two
- daughters- who .testified that they saw
Mrs. Uunness. Hudson says the wom
an drove up to the abandoned uunness
. place In a buggy on July 9 last. She
. was .veiled and Was accompanied by a
man. 'Hudson says he instantly recog
nized Mrs. Ounness and attempted to
stop the buggy, giving pursuit in vain
Hudson's, two daughters corroborated
his testyriony. .. ; ,-. .
- Fred Kittman, who formerly worked
for Mrs. Ounness. was put upon the
stand to throw lieht tiDon the trasedles
. of the Ounness ''murder farm" and to
support the contention of the defense
that Mrs. Ounness had male accom
plices in her "murder factory" and that
they spirited her away from the farm
on in night or the tire. ,
Witness was asked if he remembered
an automobile coming to the farm.
"I do," he 'replied. 1 ''Mrs. Ounness
. had asked me to dig a hole for her as
masons were coming the next day. She
measured the size of the hole and, put
a stake into the, ground where sha
wanted it. - e .i ,
"Soon after an automobile came "up
to the house. and two men walked In
apparently strangers to Mrs. Ounness.
These men ' gave . me some wine and I
lost my senses almost immediately, but
managed to get home safe."

marked today s session of the Ruef
trial. Assistant District Attorney
Hiram Johnson drew fire from Attorney
Henry Ach by leaning over the rail
when addressing the court and assum
ing an attitude similar to the favorite
attitude "of Attorney Ach,
"You seem to make a habit of mim
icking me," declared Ach, "and I object
to it' r
"I shall make it a habit."; retorted
Johnson.'-' -
The morning session of te trial was
devoted to an attempt by Ach to bring
out cnntradictlons in the testimony

Gallagher had testified on dlrectex
amlnation 4hat. the -second, payment , of
the bribe money was mad In Ruers

clared that tthe second' payment was

.Was- Hidden. , ' .
While the'murder Of M. C. Rasmus
sen, watchman oh the Steam schooner
Washington, will apparently be addid
to the: Usf of unsolved crimes, there is
one feature of this, case which will tend
to make it remembered, That feature
Is. the ? wonderful coolness, of the man
who. It Is now believed, shot tha watch
man-and then cooly guarded the door
of the room where the body lay while
conversing wrfh the first . person to
board the vessel. . ' ' "
''"Without a tremor to show any reallza-
iiuii'..vii ine aanger ne . had - passed
through, Lewis Carner. nroDrietor of a
boathouse and the owner of the launch
Palmer No. 2, told the coroner's- Jury
yesterday afternoon of his walk about
the Washington with . the man -who
came to him with the guilt of a foul
muraer on his soul yet never flinched
when Carner was within a tew feet
of Rasmussen's body. . .
The inquest in the Dunning chapej
brought to light little not already known
that would tend to fasten the crime upon
the man seen on the schooner Wednes
day afternoon as-she lay at the St
jonns dry. dock, earner's story, how
ever, gave some Idea of the type of
man wno murdered the watenman.
: Several Be Stranger.
It 1 now generally accented bv all
the officers that the man seen by
Joseph Spragg, and other members of
crew vi ine ljeyiana eroiners,
berthed bv the side of the Washington.
and also by Carner, Is the. person who
committed the crime. With the descrip
tion furnished by Carner the sheriff's
office and the Dollce are trvina to an-
rprenena ine murderer oeiore he is en
tlreiy beyond reach. .
Carner took supplies to the Washing
tonWednesday afternoon. When his
shouts to tlie watchman brotight no one
in ine jneoK, earner - cumned , on ooard.
A moment later a man emerged from
the engine room. He shut the door
behind him as he sterioed .towards
earner.' : .. -
Where s Shortv?" ssked Carner. ns
ing the familiar name for Rasmussen.
', 'Ira looking for him myself," replied
ine arranger. "1 neard the Washington
was going out pretty soon and I wanted
to see mm- aoout getting a job on her.
"He s only the watchman;- I don't
think he could hem vnu anv " said
Carner, as he made a movement as
inougn to look about the vessel.
"I've been looking for him. He's not
in the engine room,' I've just been in
there, said the etranaer.
Carner describes the man as wearing
brown suit .with hat allarhtlv lla-hter
man tne suit He was smooth shaven,
and about five feet, , nine inches- iu
height His age was about 26 years.
. Then began a march about the steam
schooner which would seem better

earner went rirst Never for a mo
ment did- the stranger step from his
position In the rear, the launchman re
membered afterward. Practically every
fort Ion of the vessel, with the excep
lon of the. engine room "which the
stranger declared so pointedly he had
Just visited, was searched.
It is evident that the stranger was
watching for the moment to come when
Carner would suspect him, and insist
on looking Into the engine room, where
Rgsmussen's body would have been
found, partially concealed. At that in
stant he would kill Carner, and thus
make his escape unmolested. - It seems
certain that the stranger's hand was
never far from his hidden revolver dur
ing the several minutes Carner was on
board. . t,
A second murder was not necessary,
however, for Carner at last left the
Washington without opening tha door of
ine engine room. -
The descriptions of the stranger given
by the men on the Ley land Brothers dif
fer slightly from that of Carner. but
are substantially the same. C. L John
son,' foreman of the dry dock, also saw
the brown clad man on the Washington
at the same time.

Santiago de Cuba, .Nov. 11. The
American cruisers Des Moines and Ta-

are In the harbor of Guanatanamo ready
to sail for Haiti on a moment's notice.
No word of the trouble has been re
ceived Here other than that fighting was

ciala here do not believe the present
revolution will become general, as there
are no signs of activity in usual revolu
tionary Quarters in the Carribean.
Pprt Au Prlncei Haiti, Nov. 11.
While there la n absence of news from
the southern provinces, where .the revo
lutionary movement is progressing, the
activity about the place is such that an
announcement Is likely at any time.
Troops that left here Friday on the
three gunboats of the Haitian navy
landed on tbe 'northern border at a
secret point? and are now proceeding
against the rebels.
General Celestin end General Leconte,
in uprnmand. have notified the president
that it is only a question of a few
days when they will capture or destroy
the revolutionaries under General An
tonio Simon, former governor of the
district.
It Is stated on good authority that the
reports that Insurgent bands have al
ready landed from Jamaica and St.
Thomas are untrue.
' Not a single word of actual fighting
has been received here outside of the
reports from the puiace. There it is
stated that-the revolutionaries tried to
take the town of Les Cayes and "failed."
Friends of General Simon antagonize
this, statement and insist that when the
details are known it will show the revo
lutionists are in complete control.
Unless. the Nord Alexis forces defeat
the rebels in the Initial fighting there is
a, possibility that the fighting will be
protracted.

SEATTLE Bra
Barbour Has Never Heard of
Place Dreamed of by L
Seattle Scribe. ,
. The sssertlon made in a Seattle dis
patch published last night in The Jour
nal to the effect that a "plant" for
Japanese girls Is maintained in Portland,
those interested In importing the girls
for immoral purposes having - their
headquarters in this city appears to be
entirely without foundation and. an un-
kind attempt to bring this city, into the
class of the Puget' sound metropolis.
"I have never beard of any such
thing," said J. H. Barbour, United States .
inspector of immigration, last nlrrht.
"There are very 'few I Japanese- In Port
land, com Da red with the ' number ' in
either Seattle or Ban Francisco. I 'am
not making any investigation regarding
am pian i ior Japanese srria, ana no not
expect to make any. unless I receive In
structions to do so. I da not believe -there
is any such plant.' . .
This last statement seems to dispose
of the storv that agents for tbe govern
ment have -been maklncr an Investigation
and are expected to discover the plant
in a few days. Inspector Barbour would ;
surely know if any such investigation
were being made, as it-would come un
der his department. .
