All records for target practice were broken today at Fort Rost crans. Two machines fired two shots each in 1 minute 47 seconds at a 9 000 yard range. Target moved at nine miles an hour during the run.
The Lamphere murder trial hinges on Joseph Maxson and other witnesses who aided investigators right after Mrs. Gunness and three children died in the fire. Sheriff Smutzer recounted Lamphere’s alleged boast about making things interesting, and a telegram from Aberdeen denied any murder or $10,000 robbery tied to Andrew Helgelein.
The testimony outlines police search efforts after a deadly house fire on April 28 and the discovery of Helgelein and the three children among debris. State attorney Sutherland says Mrs Gunness is dead and evidence shows Lamphere had threats against her. Defense argues Lamphere set the fire but claims Gunness killed the children and all were dead before the blaze.
