AWFUL STORY I Of the Guinness Murder Gets ' Blacker and Blacker. E c ?? t KILLED FOUR PEOPLE < t ? ] At a Christmas Jollity at Her hi * Porte Homo?The Blood Lust of This Horrible Woman Suritasses f AII Tthillir nf 111" ! I"-' 1? * - -* ' w m ?. - -?? nura IU iHUUtrn I Times. A dispatch from La Porte, Jnd . x says ..he murder of four persons she . had invited to her "House of Hor- i rors " as her guests at a Christmas c party, is the latest atrocity charged 1 to Mrs. Belle Guinness, La Porte's ' arch assassin, who is being sought by s the police o* practically the whole world. From a careful identification of s the unidentified bodies which have a been recovered from the "soft spots" 1 of Brookside farmw and the compari- I" son of other evidence, it is now almost certain that the woman slaver f committed her quadruple crime on 0 Christmas night of 1906. Jennie Olson. John Moo. of Elbow 1 Lane. Minn., and a man and woman 1 known only as the "professor and his ? wife were on that night the victims <1 of the Guinness woman's passion for slaughter. t This discovery corroborates In de- t tall the statement by Emil Greening, f once Mrs. Guinness' chore boy, who d has beeu Interviewed in Oklahoma ? City." c Greening said that after the party r held at Mrs. Guinness' house Christ- f mas day. 1906, and the next day, De- c eember 2 6, he noted the disappear- s ance of all the guests. When ho asked Mrs. Guinness where the visitors had gone, she said that the professor and his wife, who were at ^ the house, had gone back to their school near Los Angeles, California, and had taken Jenule Olson with them. One of the men at. the Christmas 1 party Is now known to have been t John Moo, of Elbow Lake, Minn., but j the persons remaining to be identified ( are the ones described as the profes sor and his wife. j Heretofore It hna linen iyanui.?ll.. thought that Eniil Greening was ? wrong in saying that there was any ^ woman guest at the Christmas party i besides Jennie Olson. The explanation made was that probably Green- . tng saw a man dressed in woman's clothes. ' Four bodies were found in one grave. One of them has been identl- J fled as that of Jennie Olson and an- . other as the remains of Jim Moo The third is that of a woman, and , the fourth a man of unknown ideu- . tity as yet. There are reasons to believe M?s . Guinness prepared for this slaughter weeks ahead. The graves wore dug , two months ahead by Hrtjiski. a Pol- , isb laborer, who did odd jobs for Mre. Guinness. The preceeding October Mrs. Guinness was making , girls' dresses, and when asked by . one of the neighbors what she was . doing, she said the dresses were for Jennie Olson, who was going away j to school. It may be presumed from the shreds of evidence now in the posesslon of County Prosecutor Smith that Mrs. Guinness had plotted to kill three persona on this occasion?the < sj-called professor, his wife and Jennie Ol6on, but Moo with his $1,500 arrived in answer to Mrs. Guinness' matrimonial advertisement just in , time to Join the party and to he ' killed and buried with the others. j.

She was never heard from again. "We will hang Ilay Lamphere for ( hla part in the murders committed by Mrs. Belle Guinness at her 'Houfee of Horrors' and we will clear up many of the mysteries which sur- s rouuded the great La Porte case be- ,\ fore the grand jury completes its a work." * This statement was made by the f C*n?A'a A *4?

By a unanimous* rising vote the j Jtate Democratic Convention Wednes- ( lay adopted a resolution presented i >y Mr. D. L. Sinkler of Charleston. < expressing the sympathy of the party 1 or Senator Tillman aud regretting* * lis absence from the councils of the Democracy at this important time.' ( In presenting the resolution Mr! liukler said: i "The absence of our senior Sena- i ui uy reason or nts protracted sick- i less is very regretable and deprives l his Convention of his wise counsel i ind able leadership. His prominence I n national political circles?his ta- \ niliarity with party conditions and he confidence of the people, which i le enjoys to so marked a degree, I nukes him a potent factor in party 1 onventions, and I am sure that each >f us will miss him for this gatherng, where he is wont to fill so con- < pic.ious a part. "I, therefore, offer the following: i "Resolved. That the Democrats of i Jouth Carolina, in State Convention ; issembled, express to Senator B. R. I Tillman their sympathy with him in i lis unfortunate sickness. i "Resolved. That we regret his en- I orced absence and shall miss his t ible leadership. "Resolved. That it is the earnest 1 lope of his fellow Democrats that he i ?e speedily restored to health and < ible to return to his active official 1 luties." This is the first time since 188k ' hat Senator Tillman has missed a hate Democratic Convention, and or the last 18 years he has been t'.o loininating figure In the party in outfi Carolina. it is significant of hanged political conditions that thisesolution of sympathy should ronu rom Charleston, once the stronghold ?f Anti-Tillmnnlsni, and that it hould be adopted with unanimity.

XectI of Wardens to Cheek Extinction of Nation's Sen vender*. For want of wardens along the hundred miles of Pacific Coast, "erently reserved as a bird refuge, a circular of the National Association of Audubon Societies says million* bf wate- fowl may suffer death :o themselves and their young at the nesting %eason. With thousands of acres of such breeding havens which they have previously obtained and must patrol with hardy and expert men, the National Association of Auiubon Societies finds Itself today unable to extend Its bird guard over the newly acquired stretch, jjt- inaccessible sea coast.

Some seven thousand dollars were devoted by the Auduhon workers last year to providing Litis protection against poachers .'or die defenceless birds on their breeding grounds. To extend this service to the new refuges, which the government has .'nst ended, several thousands of dollars mort will be required. Heyond paying the warlens a dollar a month for the purpose of their nominal control, the I'erieral authorities have left the ^tire burden of maintaining this little jriny of bird guards upon the Xatlon1 Assoc!at ion of Audubon Societies As scavengers the sea birds are he only agents Omt stand between he people of this country and pestl ace, they declare.

This was adopted unanimously. Mr. J. D. Bell was elected secretary and treasurer. Senator Blease reported that the books of the committee had been checked and were found in satisfactory condition. The report was adopted. It was brought out that Charleston wished a change in the Constitution, giving the county the right to assess candidates for solicitors and congressmen in that county. It was decided that the assessments on all candidates for State offices should he the same as hereofore. It was decided to appoint a subcommittee with Chairman Wilie Jones as ex officio member to nrrau ;e the date for the campaign. The o'her members of this committee are: C. I... Blease, A. W.

There was considerable debate on the Idea advanced by Senator Blease, suggesting that the State commlt.ee use Its efforts to change the constitution, providing for two campaign parties this summer.

It it as follows: "Be It resolved. That the constitution of the Democratic party of South Carolina he amended, as follows: "Amend article 11 by striking out all of said article down to the word 'in' on line 6 and inserting in licti thereof the foilwing: " 'Before the election in 1908 and each election thereafter, except as herein provided, the State Denton atic committee shall appoint and ar- j range for two campaign meetings in J each county to be held not less titan two weeks apart, one of which meetings shall be addressed only by candidates for State offices and the other only by candidates for I'nlted Stntetsenator.
