LA FORTE;. Ind., May 15. "There la no question but that the pleca of Jawbone found In the Guinness farm yesterday la from a human being. Furthermore, It bears a strong Tesemblance to the lower Jaw of Mrs. Guinness." This positive statement of identification was made by Lr. I. P. Norton, the dentist who porformed a large amount of work on the teeth of the owner of the death farm, after he had examined the specimen brought to him by the coroner. "There Is almost no chance that the bone came from the jaw of an animal," he said. "It shows ths conformations as far for ward as the cuspid tooth and also shows that all the teeth intervening had been ex tracted." ' Mrs. Guinness had only two teeth left In her lower Jaw. There was a cuspid on each side. "I tried to persuade her a have them extracted and to let ma make a plate for her, but she Insisted upon bridge work, and I crowned the two cuspids with gold and swung a bridge from them. Proof of Expert's Theory. "In the human jaw, when teeth have been extracted from two to five years, the bone forms a plate over the cavities. That condition existed In Mrs. Guinness' jaw and It exists in the specimen found In the ashes by Sheriff Smutsrr. Had the Jaw coma from an animal there would have been no trace cf extraction. Some root or other remnants of each tooth would prob ably have remained. There only remains to be discovered some of the gold which I placed uptn the cuspid teeili lo make the Identification of this pioco of bun 2 positive and complete. So fur as I myself arj concerned I am certain as to the origin of the bono cow." The doctor said that a study by the methods of comparative anatomy will bear out his assertions. He is planning to send tl.o specimen lo the curatera centra museum at the Chicago College of Dental Surgery. 8herlff Smutzer also brought In to Dr. Norton a number of new bits of metal found In the debris this morning. They proved, however, to be brass. Otherwise the search at the farm was fruitless. Ureat Help to State's Case. The report of the coroner's physicians to the effect that the Jawbone found at the Guinness farm yesterday came from the skull of an adult human being Is all that Is required to confirm the establishment of the corpus delicti In the case against Ray Lamphere, according to the prosecuting officials of this county. Just when this formal report will be made Is uncertain. The same doctors considered their findings on the bodies found In the cellar of the Guinness home for ten days or more before making a formal return concerning them to the coroner. Sheriff Bmutzer was Jubilant over his discoveries last night and resumed his In vestigations today. The material on the east side of the cellar, where the bodies were found, his all been screened, but the possibilities of the refuse piles are by no means exhausted. The ashes were shoveled from the east side to the west side of the foundation and partially back again during the search for the bodies and the subse quent cursory examination of the ruins for evidence. As a consequence some finds of considerable value to the prosecution may yet be turned up. Evident' of Hot Kire. The bits of metal found by the miners among the piles of nails, bolts and other relics of the farm house win bear evidence of one fact If they do not prove to be gold fillings or crowns from Mrs. Guinness' teeth. . Ecch globule la fused Into the cinder with which it came in contact and moulded into all sorts of Irregular shapes. No better testimony as to the fierceness of the fire which consumed the farm house could be found, and It Is upon the alleged tremen dous heat engendered In the flaming ruins that the state must depend for support of Us conttntion that the head of Mrs. Guin ness was Incinerated on the morning of April 28. The cae against Hay Lamphere probably will be brougiit (Worn the grand Jury Mon day, according to the first revision of the schedule In this regard. The time of his trial is less certain. I'ntll Sheriff Smutzer has exhausted the possibilities of the farm house it Is scarcely likely that the case will be docketed for trial. According to the present rale of progress this will mean a delay of mouths. Superintendent of Matteawan Regards Him Menace to Society. TELLS PRISONER'S STATEMENTS Thaw Steadfastly Itefaaek to Talk of the Shooting of White, Acting- Vader Advice' of Counsel. f ( rOUGHKEErBlE, N. Y., May 15,-Pr. Amos T. Baker, acting superintendent of the State Hospital for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan testified In the Thaw esse today that In his opinion Thaw Is Insane. Dr. Baker said that In his opinion It would be dangerous to public safety to have Thaw go at large. Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald, the alienist, testified that In his opinion Thaw Is an Incurable paranoiac, whose confinement la demanded by consideration of public safety. Dr. Baker was the first witness to take the stand today. He was railed by District Attorney Jerome, not as an expert, but ts give the court a statement of Thaw's con duct during the three months he Was In the Matteawan. Institution, beginning Feb ruary 1, IMS. A. Russell Teabocly, Thaw's counsel in his last trial for kilting Stanford White, was quoted today as saying Thaw would go on the witness stand to testify In the habeas corpus proceedings now In progress. Dr. Baker related conversations with Thaw In which the latter told of epilepsy and nervous ailments suffered by a sister and uncle. Thaw, the witness said, alls told of the desultory way in which his education was acquired. At T years of age, he said, he had Saint Vitu dance. He de scribed an attack of pneumonia at Mnnte Carlo concerning which he did not agree with the diagnosis of his physicians. Thaw's Vonthfol Habits. Thaw told Dr. Baker, the latter said, that he used tobacco at IS, used alcohol in moderation and denied ever using drugs. The witness said Thaw described his move ments preceding the shooting of White his return from Europe and marriage to Miss Nrshlt. He gave his age as 37, though he was 84 when he entered the hos pital. Thaw told the witness that at his trial some of the doctors had greatly exag gerated their estimates of his condition; that they had In mind a nephew of hla whom they had examined, who traveled under the same name and was often taken for him. He said that his lawyers and doctors did very clever work In his de fense. Dr. Baker said that Thaw said to him: "If I was ever Insane in my life, the at tack began one minute before I shot White and ended half a minute afterward." The doctor repeated a description which Thaw gave him of the house alleged to have been maintained by Stanford White and others. He said that these men plotted to put him In an asylum to prevent him trom exposing their alleged misdeeds. On Brink of a Precipice. "He told me that he appealed to Miss Helen Gould and was referred by her to Anthony Comstock," said Dr. Baker. "Thaw said detectives employed by him to watch White and the letter's house In formed him that he was In danger." When the witness asked him to give the substance of the detectives' reports he re fused to answer, "by advice of counsel." He said that his physicians and lawyers had advised him not to discuss what had occurred on the Madison Square roof on the night he shot White. He volunteered, however, this much: Ha compared his situation at that moment to that of a man standing on the brink of a precipice seized with an Irresistible Impulse to Jump." Stimulants a Necessity. While Thaw had said he did not want to be shown any favoritism, yet he was peevish when not given a stimulant and the opportunity to smoke. On one occasion Thaw said Roosevelt took office as president October IS, 1905. He solved a mental example In arithmetic fairly well, but he was mixed on many well known dates. ' Dr. Baker said that a physical examina tion, of Thaw showed him to be generally normal. Referring again to his acquittal Dr. Baker quoted Thaw as saying: "I was not Insane when acquitted and should not have been committed to a hospital. My lawyers made a mistake In not applying for habeas corpus Immediately after the trial. I came here with the understanding that I was to be under observation thirty days and at that time discharged on a certificate of sanity." "On February 25 there arrived at the hospital 200 chocolate eclalres," said Dr. Baker. "I found that Thaw had ordered them and wished them distributed among the attendants, who were to have a dance that night." Mr. Jerome, by questions to the witness, brought out the testimony of Evelyn Kesbit Thaw in one of the former trials that she was very fond of chocolate eclalres and had enjoyed eating them at one of Btand ford White's parties. Domineering and Peevish. Dr. Baker said that Thaw purchased a quantity of gospel hymn books for the use of the patients. "On one cccaslon," raid Dr. Baker, "he said that the newspapers were behaving beautifully." Dr. Baker described Thaw's manner as domineering and peevish. Dr. Baker, who has been on the medical staff of the state hospitals at Dannemnra and Matteawan for eight years, was asked by Mr. Jerome: "Have you encountered many Insane per sons who were able by cunning to conceal the fact of their Insanity?" Dr. Baker I have. Such cases are not uncominon. Mr. Jerome You have aeen the letters written by Mr. Thaw and the codicil to his will? Dr. Baker I have. Mr. Jerome From the reading of those documents, together with your conversa tions with and observations of Mr. Thaw, Is he, In your opinion, sane or Insane? Dr. Baker He Is Insane. Mr. Jerome In your opinion would It be dangerous to the public for him to go at large? Dr. Baker It would. Klr.it Hattlesnake Victim. SIOCX FALLS. 8. .. May 15.
