UJUPHERE BEGINS
VERVING TIME ,
Given humiliate Term cf
FrdrnV < o 21 Years ,
JURY IS OUT OVER 24 HOURS ,
Agreement Is Something of a Com
promise , Several Members Being In
Favor of First Degree Murder With
Life Sentence.
Lnporto , Intl. , Nov. 27 Kay Lnm-
phere , convicted of arson In connec
tion with the Gunncss case , was taken
to Michigan City today to begin serv
ing his sentence of from two to
twenty-one years.
No motion for a now trial was made
and It Is believed that the defense will
allow the sentence to stand In the
hope of getting n parole for Lamphero
at the end of two years , which could
bo done under the Indeterminate
sentence.
The Jury's Verdict.
Lnporto , Ind. , Nov. 27. Ray Lam-
phere , charged with the murder 01
Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three chil
dren by setting lire to the Gunuess
house April 28 , was last night found
guilty of arson by the jury.
Within five minutes after the ver
dict was reported , Judge Richter hud
sentenced the defendant to the state
penitentiary nt Michigan City for an
indeterminate term of from two to
twenty-one years. Ho was taken to
Michigan City today to begin his sen
tcnce.
The verdict was reached within ball
an hour alter the jurors had returned
from supper. Word was conveyed to
Bailiff Metz , who at once telephoned
Judge Richter and the attorneys in
the case. The lights In the big court
room were turned on and within fir
teen minutes the court was filled.
Lam phere was brought over from the
Jail and the Jury filed Into the court
room and took Its place. Foreman
Henry Mill announced that the Jury
had agreed and with that he passed
the white piece of paper to Judge
Rlchtor , who , after making the entry
on bis docket , read the verdict :
"We , the jury , find the defendant
guilty of arson and fliat ho is thirty-
eight years old. "
Judge Richter Instructed Lamphero
to stand up. The prisoner's face still
looked haggard and his eyes were
downcast. Judge Richter asked him
if ho had any reasons to give why
sentence should not bo pronounced
he replied : "I have none. " With
that Jud'go Richter sentenced him to
the state prison in Michigan City for
an Indeterminate term of from two to
twenty-one years , fined him $5,000 ant
disfranchised him for five years.
Attorney Worden for the defense
aald that a motion for n new trla'
would bo made , and should It be re
fused , an appeal to the Indiana supreme
promo court would follow. The Indl
nna supreme court Is two years be
bind In Its work , and so this case
could not bo reached' ' until after ho
had served the minimum time of his
sentence. Mr. Worden declared the
verdict to bo ridiculous.
"If ho was guilty at all , " said the
attorney , "ho would have been guilty
of murder. Ho should have been ac
quitted. "
The motion for a new trial will be
based on the court's Instruction that
the jury could find Lamphere guilty
of arson.
Should the case be carried to the
supreme court and sent back for retrial -
[ trial , Lamphero could' not bo tried on
any charge In this particular case ex
cepting arson , the crime of which he
* was convicted. However , In an event
'of ' that kind , the state would elect to
try him on one. . of the other Indict
ments , probably the Helgeleln case.
Members of the jury are reticent
about discussing what occurred in the
'jury ' room , but enough has been
Jearned to know that but for two mem
bers , Lampllore would have been
Ifound guilty of murder or manslaugh-
jter. In other words , the verdict Is
eomethlng of n compromise. Several
members of the Jury , it is understood ,
bold out lonij for murder In the first
( degree , with n life sentence. So far
'as could bo learned , none was for
banging.

STEINHEIL CASE
STIRS PARIS ,
Revelations Point to Possible Ex
posure of National Scandal ,
IS UNDER ARREST ,
Mme. Steinhell , Charged With Murder
of Her Husband and Stepmother ,
Also Accused of Poisoning Felix
Faure , Former President
Paris , Nov. 27. The Stelnhlll mur
der mystery Investigation was taken
away from Magistrate M. Loydett this
morning on the ground that bo was
closely associated with Mme. Stelnhlll.
The case was given then to Magistrate
Boucard. Boucard called the woman
from her cell but she was suffering
from nervousness and ho was unable
to question her.
She refuses to make any statement
'and has maintained her silence since
she was accused yesterday of poison
ing President Fanro In 1899.
Take Case From Boucard.
Late today the case was taken away
from Boucard and given Into the
hands of Examining Magistrate Andre.
Minister of Justice Brland says that
a probe of the allegation that the mur
der of Fanre resulted In his slowness
In taking up the Dreyfus case , Is now
Imperative.
Alexandra Wolff , the man accused
by Mme. Stelnhlll of the murder of
her husband , was questioned this
morning secretly.
The detectives say that Mmo. Stein-
hill had accomplices In the murder ,
and they are now being hunted for.
Paris , Nov. 27. Paris Is In a state
of intense excitement over the devel
opments that have come thick and
fast in the Steinhell murder case and
the sensation has made Itself felt even
in the chamber of deputies , where
many members declared they would
raise the question unless the govern
ment undertook to probe the scandal.
Mmo. Steinhell made a confession to
two newspaper men. She declared a
man named Alexandre Wolff was the
murderer of her husband. Wolff was
arrested and examined by the authori
ties. He denied all guilt and said ho
was reafly to prove an alibi. Mme.
Steinhell then weakened and said if It
was not Wolff , the man who did com
mit the crime resembled him strangely.
Then suspicion turned upon Mme.
Steinhell herself and It was announced
that she had' been locked up In the
prison of St. l axaro under a warrant
of arrest. Wolff was also held.
One of the surprises of the day was
the revelation of the fact that Mmo.
Japy , who was murdered at the same
time as Stclnheil , was not Mme. Stein-
hell's mother , but her stepmother.
The day brought forth a crop of sen
sational rumors. It was said that Min
ister of Justlcp Briand had ordered an
Investigation of the open charges
that Mme Sleinhell had been the mis
tress of M. Leydott , the examining
magistrate In the case , and that M.
LeydQtt had been Instrumental In
stilling the investigation.
Behind the Interest In the crime
itself lies the more or less thinly
veiled Intimations that France Is on
the verge of a scandal Involving high
personages , and the failure of the po
lice to clear up the mystery has led
to the open assertion that their lack
of energy Is dictated by powerful po
litical reasons , dating back to the
death In Paris In 1899 of Felix Fauro ,
at one time president of the republic.
Although hushed up at the time , It
was common knowledge among those
behind the scones that Mmo. Stolnhell
was with M. Fauro at the Elyssee pal
ace when he died. The Libre Parole
charges Mmo. Steinhell with having
poisoned President Faurc.
The public appetite for a sensation
was whetted further by Detective
Ilamard , who announced that the mys
tery was not yet cleared up and that
a great surprise might bo expected at
any moment.

INNOCENT , PLEADED GUILTY.
Victim of Circumstances and Drink ,
He Paid Fine.
Stanton , Nov. 27. Special to The
News : John Ilombo pleaded guilty to
securing from Mrs. Tllllo Mnlilko
by false and fraudulent pretenses , was
fined $5 by Judge Cowan and promptly -
ly paid his line and costs , though sub-
Hciiuent events tend to show that ho
was Innocent.
It seems that ho went to Pllger to
work on the ditch. After ho got there
ho became somewhat Intoxicated. IIo
met John Vonol , u restaurant keeper
at Pllger , and paid him $1 for his com
ing week's board. Evidently by mis
take instead of going to the Vonol res
taurant ho went to a restaurant con
ducted by Mnlilko. He ate his break
fast , took some more "red eye" and
concluded that ho would not work on
the ditch. He then went to Mrs.
Mahlke and demanded back $3.75 of
the money , claiming he had paid her
husband , Gus Mahlke. Holylng on bis
statement she paid him the $ : i.75 , and
Dombo left town on the first train.
On Mr. Mahlke's return to the house
ho was Informed of what had hap
pened and immediately took steps
which led to Bombo's arrest. It is
thought now that Bombo had no crim
inal intent and the acts he did was
the result , of drunkenness and not of
a criminal mind , ns he did not de
mand the return of his money from
the man he paid it to , but by nilstako
made demand upon the wrong person.
