IAY "LAMPHERE'S CONFESSION OBT o) Many Ghastly Details of Crime at the Old Farm House in Indiana. venge on Mrs. Gunness House, St. Louis, Jan. 13.—Ray Lamphere, who died récently in the Indiana state prison at Michigan City while serving a term for setting fire to the house of ‘Mrs. Bella Gunness, near Laporte, Ind., left a confession that he had a: sted ‘| the arch-murderess in disposing of the bodies of three men. When he be- lieved was near he confessed and the confession is published today under copyright by the Post-Dispatch. Lamphere said he saw one of the men killed ard that he aided in bury- ing three. These men were Andrew Helglein and probably Ole Budsburg and Tonnes Peterson Lien. Lamphere Had a Grievance. Lamphere said he thought he had not received as much money for his part in disposing of the bodies as he considered himself entitled to and that he went to the farmhouse at night with a woman, chloroformed Mrs. Gun- ness, her three children and Jennie ©Olson and robbed the house of between $60 and $70. The light they used was a camdle and they left the house with— out knowing they had left behind a spark that soon burst into flames. AMrs. Gunness’ method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was first to chloroform them as they slept and then if the drug @id not kill to use an axe. How Confession Was Made. Lamphere confessed to the Rev. Dr. E. A. Schell, former pastor of the La- porte Methodist church, now president of the Iowa Wesleyan university at Mount Pleasant, but Mr. Schell held it inviolate ‘as a secret of the confes- sional. The Post-Dispatch says the HE AIDED MURDERESS MRS. GUNNESS story it publishes. In Disposing of Bodies of Three Men Chloroformed by the Arch-Murderess—Lamphere Not Satisfied with Pay Received for His Part of the Work Took Re- and Acudentally Fired the Rev. Mr. Schell would verify, if he would consent to break the silence, the The paper says the confession it prints was made to a man of unassailable character. It was in 1907, according to the confession, while Lamphere lived in the Gunness home, that he assisted Mrs. Gunness In dis posing of the bodies of the three men. Each time 2 man was to_be murdered, according to Lamphere, Mrs. Gunness sent him to purchase chloroform. Lien, one of the victims, was thought by Lamphere to be the third husband of Mrs. Gunne: At the time of the Lamphere trial it was thought Jennie Olson, whom Lamphere says he chlo- roformed, had been killed by Mrs. Gunness. Told About the Coming of the Victims. The confession details how Mrs. Gunness informed Lamphere of the coming of her victims. The first man killed was from Minnesota. He never awoke from his sleep in the Gunness home. In the darkness Lamphere was ordered by Mrs. Gunness to dump a gunnysack and its contents in a hole that had been made by another farm- hand for rubbish. Mrs. Gunness never told him what became of the man, but Lamphere_received money from Mrs. Gunness. Within a month another man arrived. He wanted to know his rights before paying off the mortgage on the Gunness farm and Mrs. Gunness took him to St. Joseph, Mich., Lamphere thought, where they were married. A few nights after they came back there was another burying. Lamphere received money once more from Mrs. Gunness and he said he was the trust- ed ally of Mrs. Gunnes: REPORT OF CHANGE IN ROCK ISLAND CO. CONTROL. Powerful Foreign Interests at Work— London Banker at Head. New York, Jan, 13.—S. B. Chapin & Co. have been punished, Daniel G, Reid resigned today as chairman of tfie ex- ecutive committee of the Chicago, Rock Isi'nd and Pacifc Rallway company, and now, out of the mass of rumors | which have cropped up since the re- | cent sensational rise and fall in Rock Island common comes the apparently autehutic report that the control of the Rock Island company is to change and Mr. Reid’s influence Is to cease. Powerful foreign interests, headed by Dr. F. S. Pearson, a London bank- €r, ‘owner of Mexican properties and with strong Can: connections, have recently acquired in the open market large blocks of Rhode Island common and preferred stocks. The exact amount is not disclosed, but probably Tepresents about one-fifth of the whole. The newcomers, it Is understood, are working in harmony with Judge Wil- iam H. Moore and First National bank interests, who, with Mr. Reid, have in recent years dominated the Rock Is- land properties. Judge Moore issued a statément today in which he said that he and Mr. Reid, contrary to report, were working in unison, but he declin- ed to discuss the other developments in the Rock Island situation. Some time ago Mr. Pearson attract- ed the attention of Wall street by or- ganizing a $40,000,000 syndicate which took over extensive Mexican properties owned by Colonel William C. Greene, and also _the uncompleted Chihuahua and Pacific Railroad company. This railroad, it 15 said, the Pearson inter- ests will extend not only to the Pacific, but northward :o El Paso, Tex., where it would fit-in with the Rock Island. Official announcement was made fo- day of the resignation of Richard A. Jackson as president and director of the Rock Island company and of the ele~tion of Robert Wwalker, former as. sistant general counsel, as his Success- lor. Mr. Walker was also elected a member of the board of directors, chairman of the executive committee and general counsel of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway co pany. As chairman of the executive commaittee of this company he suc- ceeds Mr. Reld, who resigned. Mr. Reid remalns, however, as chairman of the board of directors of this company, as well as a director of the Rock Is- 1and company and of the Chicago,Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company. Further changes in the official force and directorate of these compani: involving Mr. Reid, are forecasted as being probabie. More Wealthy Ambassadors. Despite the agitation in favor of the appointment of_ diplomatic representa- upon _seme other basis than that of wealth, President Taft's appointments indicate that he has been compelled to follow in the footsteps of his predeces- sors_and pick out men of large means, to whom the salaries of their respective posts will prove a mere incident in their expenses. President Taft did maké some effort to change the cus- tom, and congress was appealed to to provide fitting residences abroad for our ambassadors, but totally ignored the subject. _ As _matters now stand, it would be atterly {mpossible for a comparative- Iy poor man to accept an ambassador- ship to any of the leading European c¢apitals. 'he rental of a proper resi- dence at any one of them would eat up more than the salary of the post, while the absolutely necessary entertaining would involve several times the sum total of the salary. Until congress makes up its mind to properly com- pensate diplomatic representatives and | provide for their housing and main- | tenance, it is utterly useless to talk about the appointment of other than very rich men. Men of ordinary means, | ago no matter how great their ability,would be utterly out of place—in fact, they would not be acceptable at the capitals to which they might be accredited.

FIVE YEARS FOR NEW HAVEN EX-BANKER Judge Case Passes Sentence on Peo- ple’s Bank Treasurer. New Haven, Jan. 13—One to five years in state prison was the sentence given Robert D, Muir, late treasurer of the People’s Bank & Trust Co., upon his plea of guilty, today, of hav- ing converted to his own use $106,000 worth of the bank’s securities. The convicted man was perfectly composed as he faced Judge Case to hear the sentence. He said nothing while in court. His counsel had made a statement in his behalf in chambers vesterday, and the fmposition of sen- tence was a formality. Muir will be taken to Wethersfield without delay to enter upon his sentence. Muir came to this city from Port Jervis, N. Y., and until a_few weeks Wwas treasurer of the People’s Bank & Trust Co. While on a trip through the west Muir's cash accounts were found to be wrong, and a deficit of some $23,000 was made up by the stockholders. Muir returned to help straighten out the books, - and while here the fact became public that se- curities of a value of $137,005 had been missed. Most of these securities were later recovered, and upon request of the state bank commissioners a com- plaint was issued agggnst Muir, and this complaint, substi¥ited and chang- ed to meet the situation as it later developed, was the one upon which Muir was held in $10,000 for the su- perfor court. The state nolled two counts, which involved larceny and theft of money and securities and pro- ceeded to try the one upon which Muir pleaded guilty. The defendant's counsel asked for pportunity to make a statement in ate. Clemency was asked for, and sentence was imposed after Judge had had the matter under con- sideration over night. INHERITANCE TAXATION. No Reciprocal Exemptions by Law— This State and Massachusetts. An opinion as to .whether the es- tates of non-resident decedents whose legal residence is in Connecticut are exempt from taxation In Massachu- setts, has been rendered by Attorney General Dana Malone of Massachu setts at the request of Tax Commi. sioner William H. Corbin. His opin- jon is that they are not. By the law of Massachusetts, the estate of a non-resident decedent is to a certain extent exempt from inherit- ance taxation, provided that by the law of the state or country of his res- jdence, a like exemmtion is made in favor of the estates of citizens of that state. Attorney General Malone is of the opinjon that no exception in favor of the estates of citizens of Massachu- setts is made by the law of Connecti- cut. corresponding to that made by the law of Massachusetts in favor of the estates of non-residents. Therefore Massachusetts will con- tinue to impose a tax on shares of Massachusetts corporations owned by Connecticut decedents, the certificates ©of which are not in that state, and Connecticut will continue to impose a tax on shares of stock of a Connec- ticut corporation owned by a Massa- chusetts decedent, the certificates of Which are not within this state.

BAG OF GOLD FOUND IN STEPNEY Stone Removed from Base of Chimney in Leavenworth Place Leads to Find. Three hundred dollars in $2.50 and $5 gold pieces which had been con- cealed at the base of an old fashioned chimney simce the owner buried them during the civil war period, was the find the other day of Frank Gusky, who recently purchased the old Abby Leavenworth place in Stepney. More than 40 years ago when gold was at a high premium and the cur rency of the country was much de preciated, Miss Leavenworth, the own- er of the old place, was reputed to have burfed this coin and from that day to the time it was dug out by the present owner of the old house it has apparently lain undisturbed. ‘Why it was never recovered before does not appear, but the fact of its present tecovery is pretty well estat lished, and it is fair to presume that Miss Leeavenworth feared for its safe- ty if entrusted to the banks and thought the old chimney a better keeping place. Gusky recently biught the place and the other day while making some re- pairs disloged a stone at the base of the chimney, and the bag with its val- uable contents came to light. The story soon spread and was current talk over the telephones in Stepney, although no one seemed to have actually seen the coins but the finder. If Gusky were not the owner of the house vhlu title to the find might be brought into question by the heirs of Miss_Leavenworth, if there are any, but it is probable that his ownership in the treasure trove will never be questioned under any circumstances. The Lakes in 1910. A great year was 1909 upon the Great lakes. Records were smashed as the winter waves of Erie delight to smash a landsman’s yacht. More ore and more package freight were carried than ever before in the career of in- land navigation. Furthermore, the demand for ore was so insistent that the boats were daring the ice and gales past the insirance barrier—several of them to their misfortune. The season of 1910 is logked forward to as one to be distinguished by extraordinary activity. Vessel owners are, therefore, prepar- ing to garner as much of the harvest of trade as they can. The American Shipbuilding companv reports that it has received orders for the construc- tion of thirty new boats, the cost of which will total $10,000,000. Eighteen barges will be ready for delivery with the opening of navigation. The Pitts- burg Steamship company has given contracts for five freighters of the 600 foot class, Most of the new vessels will be of the 9,000 ton class, We have been interested for a long time in a prophecy made by a group of men connected with the lake busi- ness to the effect that trafe would shortly become so ¢rowded Janes must be mapped out and rigidly $dhered to. It is a pleasant forecast to place faith in, since it means so much is pros- perity to every important lake port. It may be that the carriers will have to undertake the work of charting the highways of water trade with the close of the record-breaking season of 1910.—Toledo Blade. e Buying Dogs. “An American who was in Naza- reth long ago told me a strange story. I did not believe him. for it cannot be true, He said that in America peo- ple buy dogs!” and the mere sugges- tion of so ludicrous a transaction sent the assembled group into paroxysms of laushter. "hey do,” I replied. The pompous former mayor fell in- to such convulsions of merriment that his_rotund face grew the color of bur- nished coppers “Buy dogs?’ roared his sons in a chorus of several languages. “But what for?” Never having settled that gquestion entirely to my own datisfaction, I parried it with another, “How do you get_a dog, if you want one? | “W-w-w-hy,” answered the eldest son, wiping the tears from his eyes, “if any one wants a dog, he tells some one else and they give him one. But who ever wants a dog?'—Harry Franck, in the Centur; He's the Candy . “He's a mighty nice young fellow. Y like him,” said Senator Gordon of Mis sissippl, after calling on Mr. Taft. That is the conclusion the people of the Lnlt(‘d tates came to 13 months ‘World. Murphy’s Modesty.
