1 All contemporary newspaper articles on the case, as well as virtually all succeeding accounts, spell the name «Helgelein». However, on the Find-a-Grave website, there is a photograph of Andrew’s gravestone in which his last name is spelled «Helgelien». There is a note on the site stating: «The name Helgelien as spelled on the gravestone is confirmed by family members to be correct. An alternate spelling (e. g., Helgelein) seen elsewhere is not correct».
2 Asle Helgelien, Andrew’s brother, said that he had found eighty letters from Belle among his brother’s belongings. During Ray Lamphere’s trial, however, newspapers reported that the prosecution was in possession of seventy-five letters from Belle to Andrew. See La Porte Argus-Bulletin, May 18, 1908, p. 1, and November 19, 1908, p. 3.
