Authorities of La Porto, Ind.,
Delayed with Questions Ile-
pardlnp People Who Have
Disappeared

LA FORTE. IIId., May li.—-'I‘be
possible determination that the glo-
bules of metal found by the mining
operations on the Gunucss l'arIn yes-
terday were bits of gold used by a
dentist for fillings III crowns on the
woman’s teeth is likely to be a de-
velopment of importance in the case
today. The specimens worc turned
over to a. local jewolcr last night mid
it is expected that be will report on
them soon. The fact that these pro-
ducts of- the sluice, box are globular
are taken as prime facie evidence
that the metal is gold.

Dr. 1. l’.-Mortcn. who pronounced
the pseudo spc‘cimcn found Tuesday to
be a bit of gilded picture framing. said
yesterday that gold of the fineness
used by dentists always bubbles into
globules under a fusing beat and the
specimens in question are supposed
to have been in the hottest part of the
ruined Gunness twine for twelve or
more hours. The discovery of addi-
tional bodies is a remote possibility
andthe identification of any of the
seven cadavers,rcmainiug unmarked is
even more distantly to be expected.

The authorities are now being dc-
luged with inquiries concerning miss-
ing persons, but these communications
mostly urc valucless because of the
absence of information as to malform-
ations. dental work or other marks
which might give a clue to the Identity
of the crumbling skeletons which are
listed as totally unknown. Most of
those remnants of Immunity havrI long
been undi-r ground. a circumstance
which has not been taken into account
by a majority of the volunteer corres-
pondents of Sheriff Smutzer. Coroner
Mack and the other officials Interest-

 

‘ ed. Yesterday's developments did lit—

tie to elucidate the unsolved problems
arising from the corpse's own farm.
The letter from ”Cleveland concerning
the attempts of an accomplice of Mrs.
Gunness to draw another victim into
her no served to strengthtm the Idea
that a woman was the center of a
system for murdering and fleecing
those persons who follow-Ii the trails
of bait which led t0 the barnyard cem-
etery es the place. outside of this
there has nothing of great import-
once.

The attorneys for the defense are
said to be looking for David Havens.
who, it is reported. aided in uncover»
ing the bedics of the persons whom
Lamphere is accused of murdering.
Awarding to reports. they assert that
Havens was declared an undesirable
citizen by Sheriff SnnnzI-r and orIlI-r-
ed away from La Porto shortly after
the fire. The attorneys also claim that
Havens had declared that when thc
bodies were. found in the cellar of the
Gunness home on April 28 that they
were lying on the floor, and -that thIIrII
was no debris under ihcm. 'l‘hcy urgin-
that the circumstances show that IlII-
bddles had been Illlli‘i‘ll In the cellar
previous to the beginning of the tin-
which destroyed the farmhouse.

The testimony of other men who
helped Sheriff Bmuizcr uncover the
corpses and of the .IIhcrlff IIIInsIIIl ls
against this supposition. In addition
the findings of the physicians who (Is-
omitted the corpses establisbcd llIc
fact that the persons burned \verc
clothed in night robes and that III
mains of the bedding and IIIuItI-cssc
wcie also present.

“moths, and then the amount was very
small. .
,Mr. Davis:

Mrs. ’l‘roy: “it was such a small
amount that I do not rIIIiII-mbcr. but
he has only given me about 8L“. for
the past year or more.”

Mr. Davis: "Has he bIII-n working

Mrs. Troy: “Yes. sir."

Mr. Davis: "Have you.

Mrs. 'l‘roy: "l have."

Mr, Davis: “Was your

Mrs. Troy: "it was."

Mr. Davis: "lliIl.Mr.

Mrs. ’l‘roy: "lie did not."

Mr. Davis: "Have you sag-n him on
the strcI-ts. lately?"

Mrs. 'l‘my: “I have seen him several
times going into a saloon."

Mr. Davis: “llss be asked you to

Mrs. 'l‘roy: “No. sir."

Mr. Davis: "WI-re you 0\'t'r

Mrs. Tmy: “Yes. sir. i havII been

The fact was brought out that the
first time the matter was continued to
give him a chance to furnish a home.
but Mrs. Troy stated this morning that
he never even bought a chair.

Attorney Walsh. who had been re-
tsiuIIIl by Mr. 'l‘roy. then asked: "Did

Mr. Davis: "Did he ofiI-r you a lllillli‘

and when Mr. Davis asked some ques-
tions. Mr. Walsh objected. saying that
the court might as well make him out
to be a horse tblcf or anything, but
Mr. Davis said it was much different.

about a ton. ran over Mr. llallard's
legs. Mr. liftllnrd screamed with the
pain, and people who were nearby ran
