tain n inn the. h' ad, arms, h-m and
hacked body of a man, burled near
the fence surrounding the ruins of
the Guiltless home. The body had ev
idently been cut to pjieces with a saw
by tlio rlendish murderer. This nnie

corpxo of Andrew Heltcgieeti of

to La Porte last January to marry
Mrs. Gunness.

Last winter Heltetfreen requested
a bank In LuPorte to cash a fllOuO

cept the endorsement and took tho
draft for collection. The money ar
rived from Aberdeen and w,ih paid
to the woman. She Immediately took
up a note for I-'hio and paid a num
ber of other d'hts, deposit Iiir tho
$700 that remained.
It Is believed by tho po!!ce that
