GUNNESS CRIME MYSTERY SOLVED BY CONFESSION RAY LAMPHERE ALLEGED TO . HAVE TOLD ALL MURDERS OF LA PORTE FARM VIVIDLY DESCRIBED Startling Statement Made Just Be. fore Death of Suspect Shows Fallacy of Many Theo. ries of Officers [Associated Pr»ss] ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.—1n a copyrighted story the Post-Dispatch published today what It claims was the con fession qf Hay Lamphere, who died a few days ago in the Indiana state pris on at Michigan City, when serving a life sentence for setting fire to the home of Mrs. Bella Gunness near .La Porte, Ind. It is known that the Rev. Dr. E. A. Schell, formerly of La Porte, heard Lamphere's confession. The confession shows that Mrs. Gunness and three children were chlor oformed by Lamphere, who was rob bing the house with a woman accom plice; that Jennie Olson was not killed by Mrs. Gunness; that the chloroform used by Lamphere was part of that he bought for Mrs. Gunness to kill three men, one of whom was An drew Helgeleln, the others probably Ole Budsburg and Tonnes Petersen Lien, and that one of these men, prob ably Lfen, was the third husband of Mrs. Gunness. The Post-Dispatch says that if the Rev. Dr. Schell would consent to talk he would verify the confession it pub lishes. The confession, according to the paper, was obtained from a man of unassailable character and truthful ness, whose standing in the commu nity where he lives is such that his word is accepted without question. Pastor Denies It The Rev. Dr. Schell at Burlington, lowa, after hearing the confession which the Post-Dispatch printed, said he hud not divulged the alleged con fession. A representative of the paper saw Dr. Schell, who Is president of the lowa Wesleyan university, at Mount Pleasant. Last Sunday he refused to give to the public the confession Lamphere made on the ground that it is pledged by the secrecy of the confessional. The confession is startling in its variance from theories hitherto held, based on all available evidence. It establishes that Mrs. Gunness is dead. The body found in the smoking ruins of the Gunness farm house was the body of Mrs. Bella Gunness. She was in the deep sleep that chloroform in duces when the smoke crept up through the crevices and smothered her. She died with the head of her little boy pillowed on her breast. He was chloroformed also and died with out waking. The two little girls, Myr tle and Lucy, not so thoroughly chlor oformed, awoke and ran into their mother's room, where they perished.

She also had been chloroformed. Who Was Other Girl? Assuming that Lamphere told the truth about Jennie Olson, the iden tity of a girl buried in the yard adds another mystery to the 08M. Lamphere let himself into the house the night of the fire. The chloroform was administered and a search for money was made, but less than $70 was found. Then he and the woman who ho says accompanied him went away, according to, Lamphere, and it was when he was hurrying toward the country where Tip was to work that day that he looked back and saw flames bursting from the house. Lamphere. according to the confes sion, had a guilty knowledge of the murder of three men in the Gunness home during the time he lived there, about eight months in 1907, and he as sisted Mrs. Gunness in disposing of the bodies of the three men. He said he thought he had not re ceived as much of the profits of the transaction as he considered himself entitled to and he went to the farm house at night with a woman, chloro formed Mrs. Gunnesn, her three chil dren and Jennie Olson. Searched the House Hs and the woman searched the house, finding between $C 0 and $70. The light they used was a. candle and they left the house without knowing they had left behind a spark which caused the flames. Mrs. Gunness' method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was first to chloroform them as they slept and then, if the drug did not itself kill, to sever their heads with an ax. Karli time a man was to be mur dered, according to Lamphere, she sent him to purchase chloroform. Lam phere said he saw one of the men killed and aided in burying all three. Thess men were Andrew Hslgelein and probably Ole Budsberg and Tonnes Petersenlien. Helgeiein, Lamphere thought, was the third husband of Mrs. Gunness. At the time of the Lamphere trial it was thought Jennie Olson had been killed by Mrs. Gunness. Lamphere, however, details how Mrs. Gunness had secreted her in the house after she returned from a visit and she was chloroformed by Lamphere and his ac complice. Lamphere said he was drunk the night he visited the place. He thought he would find $1500. Lamphere did not desire the death of the Gunness children and Jennie Olaon. His first question when he was arrest ed on suspicion of having set fire to the house was whether the children had escaped. He did not even intend to kill Mrs. Gunness. Although he confessed to more atrocious crimes, he did not admit he intentionally started the fire in which Mrs. Gunness perished. Once he was willing to enter a for mal plea of guilty to that charge in the hope of leniency, but when he learned that in the confession of ar son would be Involved a confession of murdering the family he refused. May Have Been Slain Inquiry at La Porte by the Post-Dis patch shows that Ole O. Budsburg of lola, Wls., who sold his farm and went to La Porte with the money, and whose body was found buried in the Gunness farm yard, may have been one of the men. Budsburg, as near as can be as- LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, -JAMWHY 14. 1910. certained, went ta La Porte about the time that Lamphere went to live at the Gunness farm. The other man, believed to have been the second victim of Mrs. Gun ness while Lamphere was there, was Tonnes Petersen Lien of Rushford, Minn., whose disappearance and sup posed death, the Post Dispatch says, is made public for the flint time. A few days ago Samuel Petorsen Lien, a brother of Tonnes, went to La Porte looking for him. To H. W. Wor den, attorney for Lamphere, he told his story. He and Tonnes lived together near Rushford on a farm. Samuel Lien had been a sailor and a rover. He tired of life in Minnesota and went west. For two years l\e heard nothing from his brother. When he came back recently Magnus Anderson, for whom Tonnes had worked, told Sam that Tonnes had seen an advertisement of Mrs. Gunness in a Norwegian paper, had corre sponded with her and had gold the farm. Anderson had sewed the money in his coat sleeve for him, and Tonnes had gone to La Porte to marry the Widow Gunness. That was the last ever heard of him. Worden asked the brother if Tonnes had anything by which he could bo identified. Sam said Tonnes liml i heavy silver watch, on the ease of which he (Ham) had scratched the initials "T. L." AVorden remembered such a watch as one of those found in the ruins of the Gunnrss house. The body of this man has not been found. Mr. Worden said the most Lamphere ever would tell him was that he wa in the cellar of the Gunness house the night Helgeiein was killed and that he heard him groaning and asking that a doctor be sent for.

MISSIONARY BISHOP OF AFRICA RETURNS Passes Fourteen Years on Dark Con tinent and Comes to Los An. geles to Raise $15,000 for Jubilee Fund After fourteen years of active serv ice as bishop in the missionary workj of Africa, J. C. Hartzell arrived in Los Angeles yesterday morning. His pur pose is to raise the $15,000 planned! to complete a deficit of $350,00u in the] great diamond Jubilee fund of Africa,] which the bishop endeavored to raise last year. In an interview last night at the Hotel Fremont, where the bishop is a guest, he said: "X was elected bishop of Africa in 1896 and since that time have been superintending the establishment of Christian minions in different parts! of the African continent, both among! barbarifc native heathens and Moham-, medans. My journeys have averaged! more than 30,0u0 miles a year by every; method of travel known to the human being, 'We have three rrreat mission cen ters on tile west coast, two in Bast Africa and the same number in North Africa. The success of missionary work on that continent is marked. Among the native heathen it is only; a question of securing competent men I and women as leaders for great results. The natives accept Christianity readilyj and become faithful and reputable| Christians. "We teach the simpler industries, especially agriculture. We reduce the native language! t<> writing wherever our missionaries are located. We use the printing press nnrl are row print-1 ing in eight different languages. Some: of these languages are remarkable for| their fixed forms and for their facil-| ities to express fine shades of thought, | equal in some respects with the Latin. I There are more than 600 different lin-j guistic dialects in Africa, of these ■ nearly one-half are distinct languages, I permanent in form and capable of be ing reduced to writing and used in in-i struction and uplift of the people. "The great need of missionary work in Africa is a large increase of work ers and money to strengthen the cen ters and extend the work in regions beyond. During 1909 we celebrated our Africa diamond jubilee and raised $335,000. With this the work will be> much strengthened the next few years. | "I am here to speak on the work in Africa and to secure reinforcements In workers and financial aid and wish to increase the jubilee fund to $350,000." Yesterday noon the bishop addressed the students at the University of Southern California and In the after noon visited the aviation camp to see the feats of the air.

Read Testimony as to Morals of Joseph Smith, Claiming It Is Indecent For the fourth consecutive evening the manuscripts of Solomon Spaulding, alleged to have been stolen and in corporated by Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, in his revela tions and book of Mormons, was dis cussed last night in the debate be tween Rev. T. W. Williams, presiding elder of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Rev. Harvey Hazel, pastor of the Boyle Heights Christian church, each contending that the church he repre sents is the true church' in harmony with the New Testament doctrines. One of the sensational episodes of the debate is the contended assertion of Clark Braden printed in the Braden and Kelly debate regarding the moral life of Joseph Smith, and which Mr. Hazel refuses to read before a mixed audience, saying that it is indecent. Mr. Williams said that there was no such passage and defied Mr. Hazel to read it. In turn Mr. Hazel defied Mr. Williams to read it at the session this evening or to have it passed upon by, the chairman whether it was proper to bring into the debate.
