Brother of Murdered Man Gets $3,145 From Gunness Estate.

The last proceeding in closing the estate of Mrs. Belle Gunness took place Monday in the LaPorte circuit court, when Frank Pitner, administrator of the estate of Andrew Helgelien, the last known victim of the woman, filed his final report. The report shows that Helgelien’s brother recovered $3,145 from the estate, a large portion of this being money which Mrs. Gunness obtained from her victim before she murdered him, and which by order of the court will be paid to the brother, whose advent in LaPorte unearthed the tragedies of the Gunness farm.
