NEW HORRORS TO TRAGEDY

5 DISMEMBERED BODIES ARE FOUND BURIED NEAR THE BURNED GUNNESS HOME ----OFFICERS AT SEA.

Probably never before in its history has LaPorte been stirred so by a sensation as it has been by the Gunness fire, the death of

Mrs. Gunness and three children

in the flames and the arrest of Ray Lamphere on the charge of

setting fire to the house. Yet these sensations are in a measure mild, compared to that produced Tuesday when it became known that several bodies had been

found buried in the Gunness yard, these evidently being victims of

the woman. One body has been

positively identified as that of

Andrew Helgelein, the wealthy

Aberdeen bachelor, who came to

LaPorte in January and who disappeared about the first of February. The second body is believed to be that of Miss Jennie Olson Gunnes, who disappeared in September, 1906, and who was reported by Mrs. Gunness to have gone away to school. The finding that Mrs. Gunness had a private graveyard and was furnishing her own victims has shaken the city to its depths. Five bodies were unearthed Tuesday. Just how many more are in the ground surrounding the house remains to be determined. The

identity of four of these bodies is not positive, and it is possible that it may never be known who some of them are. Looming up before the officers in this connection, is the belief that Lamphere knew something of the murder of Helgelein, for after the latter had disappeared Lamphere displayed a gun in a local barbershop and is reported to have said that he was after somebody. He was also seen to wear a fur-lined overcoat, which Helgelein had when he came to LaPorte. The new developments in the case are due to the arrival at LaPorte of Ask K. Helgelein of Mansfield, S. D., in search of his brother, Andrew, because not since he left his home had any word been received from him. The brother knew that Andrew had gone to LaPorte in January to see Mrs. Gunness, whom he had become acquainted with a year ago through a matrimonial bureau. The brother knew that the two had been corresponding, for he had the letters which had been received from Mrs. Gunness. These letters are written in Norwegian and nearly all begin, "To the dearest friend I have in the world." These letters are now in possession of the officers and may cast considerable light on the case. Being unable to understand why he did not hear from his brother or why he did not return to Aberdeen, Mr. Helegelein wrote to Mrs. Gunness and received the reply that his brother had gone to Norway from LaPorte. Mr. Helgelein, learned through the Aberdeen bank that his brother had drawn $3,000 and so, last week, when he found in the papers of the Gunness fire, the death of Mrs. Gunness and three children and the arrest of Lamphere he started for LaPorte to personally investigate the matter. He arrived Monday and after obtaining all the information possible, he held a consultation with Sheriff Smutzer, as a result of which a gang of men was put to work to see what could be unearthed around the house. A careful search of the ground was made and finally two soft places were discovered. One was in the southeast corner and so a number of men began digging there. Four feet under ground the diggers struck a number of gunny sacks, which when brought to the surface and opened were found to contain the dismembered body of a man. It did not take the Dakota man long to identify his brother. Previous to the search a complete description of the missing man had been furnished the officers by Mr. Helgelein and this tallied exactly with the body that was unearthed. The arms, legs and head had been sawed off and the work had been done with such nicety that the officers are puzzled. This body had not been buried over three months. After this body was unearthed, the second soft spot was uncovered. Digging brought to the surface the body of what appears to have been a girl. This leads the officers to believe that it is the remains of Miss Jennie Gunness, who disappeared in September, 1906, and who was reported by Mrs. Gunness to have gone to Los Angeles, Cal., to attend school. As the sister, Mrs. Ostrandcr, had not heard from this sister since she left LaPorte she came to LaPorte last week under the impression that possibly her body too would be found. She is undoubtedly right. Continued digging brought to the surface additional sacks, in which were found the dismembered body of a large man. His identity has not been established. Besides this were found two more

skeletons, from their size the bodies of children. It is not known whose bodies they are. The officers are a little at sea, (5 dismembered bodies etc. 2) but both Sheriff Smutzer and Prosecutor Smith are confident that Lamphere must have some

knowledge of the Helgelein mur-

der, even if he had no hand in the case. Lamphere was living at the Gunness house at the time Helgelein came there. The theory is that Lamphere became jealous of the attention that Mrs. Gunness showed the Dakota man. How could Lamphere have been in the house all the time, lived there in fact, without knowing the disposition of Helgelein? Is

the question that the officers are

asking. Then, too, during the time that Lamphere was being arrested he told Prosecutor Smith

that he knew some things regard-

ing Mrs. Gunness which gave him a hold on her. It is a known fact that Mrs. Gunness ran after Lamphere part

of the time this winter. She also

endeavored to have him sent to the insane asylum. Was it because he knew some things which would put her in a bad position? What was the motive for the murder of Jennie, the girl? She was living at the house at the time Mr. Gunness died. Did she know things about Mrs. Gunness in that connection which would have caused trouble for Mrs. Gunness? The officers are now confident that Mrs. Gunness murdered both her husbands, Sorensen and Gunness. Another question that needs answering, is how were these people murdered and what help did Mrs. Gunness have, for she could not have done the jobs alone. The motive in the Helgelein case appears clear to the officers. After the Aberdeen man came to LaPorte Mrs. Gunness is supposed to have told him that she was going to borrow money to pay for certain improvements in her place. She finally made this loan of Helgelein, securing $1,500. It was at this time that he drew $3,000 from an Aberdeen bank. Of this sum Mrs. Gunness received $1,500, and later through murdering the man, secured the other $1,500. Andrew Helgelein was a man weighing 200 pounds. He was 39 years old and was worth $40,000 or $50,000. The girl, Jennie, had no insurance and no estate, and so it was not for her money that she was made way with.

and true companion until his

Mr. Pomeroy was a farmer by

occupation, a Republican in poli-

tics and a Methodist in religion. He was married in 1863 to Miss Sarah VanVactor, who as a widow with five children, Miles,

and Mrs. Minnie Lacher, residing
