FOUND GUILTY OF ARSON. Lamphere Escaped Murder Charge— Will Serve Two to Twentyone Ye.ara. Ray Lamphere was found guilty of arson last Thursday night after the jury had been out twenty-six hours in the Gunness trial. Judge John C. Richter immediately sentenced him to the penitentiary for an Indeterminate term of from two to twenty-one years and assessed a fine of $5,000. Lamphere probably will begin serving his sentence at Michigan City at once. The verdict was in the nature of a compromise, ten of the jurors having held out from the first for a verdict of murder in the second degree, with a penalty of life imprisonment. It is said that two stubborn members all day contended for a verdict of arson and not guilty, respectively. Lamphere expressed a belief in the first extended statement he has made to other than his attorneys since the trial began. He said he considered himself lucky, in view of the evidence produced in getting off as essily as he has. He maintained his innocence, however. He believes that Mrs. Gunness is dead.
