THE RICHMOND PALLADIU5I AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, NO VE3IBER 12, 190S Woman Blackmailer Worked Under Hypnotist's Spell 8 ELIMINATED VICIOUUSSAULT Wm. Walters and Charles Kroma Charged With Intent to Kill. Denver, Col., Nov. 12. Two physicians and a Christian Science practioner, who examined and talked with Mrs. Allen F. Read, the woman who attempted to extort $100,000 from Mrs. C. C. Phlpps, declared that the woman committed her acts under hypnotic Influence. The police have been trying to find the woman to whom Mrs. Read constantly alludes as Mme. Leroy and they have found that the couple in the past week visited numerous clairvoyants in this city. The police declare that they now have every reason to believe that the mysterious woman companion of Mrs. Read is Madeline Leroy Langley. allias Madeline Thompson, allias Mamie Starr, who, it is alleged, was Bent to the Canon City penitentiary eight years ago for robbery of a man named Wolf. Two new attempts to extort money have been brought to light. The most startling was last Saturday, when Mrs. Read sought an interview with State Treasurer A. F. Bent. It was also found that Mrs. Read tried to see Mrs. Walter S. Cheesman, who" recently was left $8,000,000. Another striking feature of the developments is that the whole incident may be wound up by the death of the woman. She has collapsed and was taken to the hospital, where she is reported in a comatose condition. Lamphere May Be Charged With Murder of the Three Children. PROSECUTION'S NEW TACK.

Laporte, Ind., Nor. 12. Announcement was made today that the prosecution may eliminate Mrs. Gunness from the trial of Ray Lamphere and try him only on the charge of arson and murder of the three children, whose Identity were never questioned. This would side step the defense's contention that Mrs. Gunness is still alive, which many profess to believe to be true. The defense claims the woman poisoned the children and left a cadaver to represent herself. If the jury can be convinced of this, it would be impossible to convict Lamphere of anything more than arson. Attorney Worden has received a letter from a lawyer in an Illinois town stating Mrs. Gunness visited a well known store there within, the past two weeks. An investigation has been instituted. The defense claims proof of poison in the stomachs of the Gunness children and prosecution's charge that Lamphere burned the house, do not harmonize. For the purpose of rendering assistance to the authorities in their efforts to unravel the mystery of the Gunness farm murders, 'A. K. Helgelein. brother of Andrew Helgelein, believed to be the last victim of Mrs. Gunness, arrived in Laporte last night from Aberdeen, S. D. He will be one of the chief witnesses for the state. Through him Prosecutor Smith will Introduce letters received by him from Mrs. Gunness during the time that Helgelein was endeavoring to find some trace of his brother. Mrs. Gunness claimed that the brother, after visiting her, had gone to Norway on a trip. At the time she wrote, the state alleges, his dismembered body lay in her private cemetery, where she had burled It after securing the $3,000 which he had drawn from an Aberdeen bank through a Laporte bank. The letters contain references to threats by Lamphere against her and her children, and of Lamphere's jealousy because Andrew Helgelein had been a guest at her home. She refers to Lamphere as "That crazy Lamphere" and "That jealous Lamphere." It Is considered by the state that in the letters of Mrs. Gunness to A. K. Helgelein it has evidence of the strongest possible moment to support the theory that Lamphere, jealous of Helgelein's attentions, assisted the widow in putting him out of the way, and that afterward, to become revenged upon her, he set fire to her house.

ANDREE'S GRAVE REPORTED FOUND

Stockholm Experts Give Little Credence to Story, However.

PRISONERS GET RABBIT. Inmates of Jail Get Change From Bean Float. Stewed rabbit was supplied the prisoners at the county jail yesterday. The sheriff and a party of friends had been hunting the day before and the prisoners benefitted by the products of the game bag. It was a treat for the prisoners and a change from beef and the old reliable bean float.

GRAVE IN LABRADOR.

SMALL CROSS MARKED "ANDREE" LOCATED BY CAPT. CHALKER, A HALF BREED ESKIMO WHO AIDED PEARY.

Stockholm, Nov. 12. E.v.oerts here discredit the report of the finding of the body of Explorer Andree. They believe it impossible for the balloon to have landed on Labrador. Copenhagen, Nov. 12. There is reason to believe that the body of Prof. S. A. Andree, the arctic explorer, who in 1897 made an attempt to reach the north pole in a balloon, has been found on the coast of Labrador. A letter received here from the captain of the Danish steamer Inga, dated Labrador, Sept. 30, reports that Capt. Chaiker, skipper of the 'American schooner Pelope of Conception bay, Newfoundland, discovered in northern Labrador a cross bearing the name "Andree," and that beneath this cross he found a body and a box of documents. Place of Discovery a Desert. The letter from the captain of the Inga was sent from Indian Side. Labrador and states that the schooner Pelope arrived there from Cape Mugfqrd northern Labrador. Capt. Chaiker reported that he went inland at that place and about a Quarter of a mile from shore came upon a simple wooden cross, on which was inscribed the name "Andree." He dug under the cross and found human bones and a box containing papers. Capt. Chaiker said he removed the cross, but he refused to say whether the papers were in his possession. He asked the Inga's captain how the name "Andree" was spelled. On being told, he took a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was written the name as it Sppeared on the cross. It was "Andree." . The place where the cross was discovered is an absolute desert and is rarely visited, even by the Eskimos. What became of Andree's two companion, if the discovered body proves to be his, is problematical, but light probably will be thrown upon their fate by an examination of the papers. Capt. Chaiker is a half caste Eskimo who took part in the landing of the Peary expedition in Greenland.

CLUB GOES AFTER THOS. R. MARSHALL

The Democratic Organization Wishes .Governor-Elect To Speak Here. THE CLUB J0 CONTINUE. JEFFERSON I AN. MEETINGS WILL BE HELD NOTWITHSTANDING FACT CAMPAIGN IS CLOSEDMEETING LAST NIGHT.

Plans are being promulgated for another banquet under the auspices of the Jefferson club at which Thomas Marshall, the democratic governorelect, is expected to be the chief guest. The original key-note speech of Mr. Marshall during the recent campa gn was delivered in this city following a banquet by the Jefferson club. Mr. Marshall and almost all the other nominees on the democratic ticket were the guests of the club. The organization is composed of the democrats of the county and was formed last spring. The club held a meeting last evening and endorsed the proposition in an enthusiastic manner. The members promised it undivided support. The club will continue as an organisation and to promote interest the dues and monthly fees were reduced. It is believed this will tend to induce many members who are staunch supporters of the party to retain their interest, although the political campaign now is a thing of history. The present quarters in the Colonial building will continue in use. Among those present last evening was William Y. Dye. of Urbana, Ohio. He is cousin of Ed and Willard Dye of this city. The visitor congratulated the club on the work It did during the campaign, and spoke of the general Influence of such organizations throughout the country. Other members made brief talks and the congratulatory mood appeared pre-eminent. A vote of thanks was extended C. B. Beck, county chairman, and Webster Parry, secretary, for the work they did during the campaign. The two were credited with having restored party harmony in this county after the serious breach that had been shown at the time of the state convention.

Judge Fox found William Walters

and Charges Kroma guilty of assault and battery and sentenced each to sixty days in jail and imposed a fine of $10. The verdict was rendered about 2:45 o'clock this afternoon. The men were charged with assault and battery with intent to kill John Hart They had been jail since September 12 awaiting trial.

The defense took up the time of the Wayne circuit court this afternoon in the case of the State vs. William Walters and Charles Kroma, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. John Hart, an employe of the Grubbs wholesale company is the prosecuting witness. Fred Kroma was indicted by the grand jury for the same offense, but has'escaped arrest. " According to the claims of the pauper attorney, who is defending Walters and Charles Kroma, Walters was guilty Of an as

sault and battery, but there was no intent, and Kroma is absolutely guiltless. Leroy Edwards, Daniel McManus, of the police department, Oliver Nieman, the companion of Hart, when he was assaulted at the Shannon saloon, and Walter Simpson, bartender, were the state's witnesses. According to the account of the affair given in court, it was on the night of September 12, that Hart and Nieman went to the Red Light saloon on North E street. They began to drink beer, when they were accosted by Fred Kroma, Charles Kroma and William Walters, better known as William Lytle. An altercation ensued between Hart and Walters, which Fred Kroma interrupted by attacking Hart with a putty knife In his hand. The two fought and Fred Kroma stabbed Hart several times. Hart says Walters, who engaged in the fight to help Kroma, used a knife, also, but this Walters denied. Charles Kroma endeavored to strike Hart, also, but he was grabbed by Nieman and pulled out of the malee. He made three attempts to get in the mixup and Nieman prevented his every attempt. The last time Nieman struck Kroma on. the jaw and by that time Hart had been knocked down by his two other assailants, after being stabbed and cut and his nose broken. Whisky bottles and glasses were thrown and while It lasted the fight was fast and furious. The defendants attempted to throw the responsibility for the cutting on Fred Kroma, the fugitive. The bloody clothes Hart wore at the time were displayed In court as exhibits. The case was continued in' court this afternoon.
