John Walsh WOMAN STILL LIVING Body in Ruins of Gunness Home Not That of Murderess, NO DEVELOPMENTS IN CASE Total Bodies Recovered on the Wo-| man’s Farm Near Laporte, Ind., Re- mains at Ten and of These Three Have Been Identified. Laporte, Ind., May 11.—Dr. H. H. Long, one of the physicians who per- formed the autopsy on the body of the woman found in the ruins of the Gun- ness home after the fire, has made a statement that the body is not that of Mrs. Gunness. His statement is as follows: “In my opinion the body of the wo- man found in the house is not that of Mrs. Gunness because it is not cor- rectly proporticned. It is that of rather plump woman of the same gen- eral contour of Mrs. Gunness, but weighing between 150 and 160 pounds. Mrs. Gunness was literally a succes- sion of billows of flesh and weighed fully 225 pounds. “The arm that was burned off was found beside the body and is well formed. The fingers show evidence of careful manicuring and that was scmething that Mrs. Gunness knew nothing about. “Basing my statements on the sta- Mstics and figures of eminent physi- | clans of this country and Great Brit- ain I find that the body at the morgue is almost five inches shorter than the body of Mrs. Gunness would be under similar circumstances. The fire would, of course, cause the body to lose ‘weight, but the general physical out- line of the woman would remain. Mrs, Gunness was a woman of unusual ap- pearance. She was large, bony, power- ful looking, with square jaws and black eyes. “She was a woman who would at- tract attention anywhere from her lack of womanly characteristics. She wore a large fur coat during the win- ter and her long strides, together with her remarkable countenance and her generally vicious appearance, gave her an aspect that was almost terrify- ing.” No additional bodies have been un- earthed on the Gunness farm, the number recovered standing at ten. Of these three have been identified. WRONG WOMAN ARRESTED Suspect Held by Syracuse Police Not Mrs. Gunness. Syracuse, N. Y., May 11.—Mrs. Cora Belle Herron, widow of Frederick B. Herron, former vice president of the Sethness Chemical company of Chi- cago, was arrested by Syracuse detec- tives in a Pullman sleeper on sus- picion of being Mrs. Belle Gunness, the Laporte (Ind.) alleged murderess. Mrs. Herron was quickly able to prove her identity and will go on to New York at once. The young woman, who answers the description of Mrs. Gunness only in being considerably above the average in height and weight, characterized her arrest as an outrage, without the shadow of an excuse. She had come from Franklin, Pa., where she has a summer home, and was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Lucy Burton. She said that she boarded the train at Cleveland, O., and was on her way to New York to visit her sister, Mrs. Charles P. Rockefeller of 317 West Fortieth strest. She telegraphed Mrs. Rockefeller telling her of her deten- tion and asking her to wire corrobora- tion of her story. Another Possible Victim. ‘Washington, Pa., May 11.—It is prob- able that Gustav Thun, a former resi- dent of this city, met an untimely end at the farm of Mrs. Gunness near Laporte, Ind. A year ago, after cor- responding with a Chicago matri- monial bureau concerning a widow and three children who lived on a farm near Chicago, Thun departed for the purpose of marrying the widow. When he left here he had $1,000 and nothing has ever been heard of him since by intimate friends. Outlaw Penned in by Posse.
