Gunness Case Links Accomplice In Victim Lure Plot
Laporte Indiana May 14 Evidence that Mrs Bella Gunness was aided by an accomplice in luring victims to the farm emerges from a Cleveland letter to the local chief of police Clinton Cochran. The writer met a stranger in Cleveland last August who showed a photo of "a rich widow who resided in Laporte" and urged a visit. A new witness Hertha Schultz says Gunness feared Lamphere would set the farmhouse blaze and will testify before the grand jury. A threatening Brooklyn postmark letter was sent to State's Attorney Smith warning officials if the search for Mel Gunness continued. Chicago police estimate Gunness netted about 40000 from five victims, with speculation that each victim yielded at least that much cash, though the total may grow as investigators proceed.
