I had been practicing law in the town
of Lancaster for about four years when
James Higglns, merchant, was mur
dered. According to the testimony of
his wife, they were aroused at mid
night by a noise down stairs, and he
weut down to investigate. She heard
angry words, followed by a shot, and,
giving an alarm, it was found that the
husband had been shot through the
heart It was noted that nothing in the
bouse had been taken and no prepara
tion made for robbery. A window
which had been left unfastened offered
means of Ingress, and the shooting
had taken place lu the sitting room.
Mrs. Hlggins was sure that there had
been a sort of dispute before the fatal
Bhot was fired. She was sure of her
husband's voice; but, as to the other,
she was undecided as to whether it
was a man's or a woman's. The de
tectives proceeded on the theory that
a man had effected entrance with in
tent to plunder. Be had no sooner got
Into the house thnn he was confronted
by Hlggins, who, though unarmed, was
a strong man. He had probably called
upon the burglar to surrender and per
haps laid hands on him and had been
killed that capture might be avoided.
The first suspect arrested was the
hostler at the barns of one of the ho
tels. He had been seen on the Btreet

A STRANGE WOMAN CALLED AT MT OFFICE.
at midnight; he was known to have a
pistol; he betrayed many signs of guilt
when arrested. I was employed In his
defense and after half an hour's talk
with him came to the conclusion that
he was guilty. He didn't admit his
guilt, but at the same time he didn't
deny It with the warmth expected of
an innocent man. It was by accident
altogether that I mado a series of dis
coveries. This man had planned with
another to break open the passenger
depot and rob the safe. They had been
surprised while at work by a tramp,
and the hostler was afraid to talk to
me or any one else of the murder case
for fear of being found out In the less
er crime. When once I had the thing
straightened out, It did not take long
to upset the case of the police. I had
scarcely done this when I was upset
myself.
A bulldlug contractor named Otis
came to me to make a confession. He
had reasons to suspect that Hlggins
had ruined his home, and when there
was no louger any doubt In his mind
he had determined to kill the man.
He told me in detail of his going to the
house, effecting an entrance, telling
Hlggins what he had done and then
shooting him. He wanted to be tried
for the shooting and believed that the
Jury would acquit him. Acting on my
advice, he went to the police with his
story and at Its conclusion was put
under arrest.
I went to work on the case, but was
bowled over at the very outset. Mrs.
Otis declared In the most emphatic and
earnest way that she had never spoken
a dozen words to Higglns, her husband
bad never lutlmated that he had the
slightest cairse for jealousy of any man,
and, better than all. she could prove
that from 10 o'clock In the evening
until two hours after midnight on the
night of the murder he was at home
and In bed aud quite 111. This she did
prove by three witnesses. Otis had
told me a purely Imaginary story, and
b stuck to ft for several days, but at
length turned around and denied
everything. There were those who
ia"Td that he was "off" In his head, but
'he talked and acted like any sane man
end returned to bis business as soon as
released.
The police now returned to their first
theory. The deed had surely been
done by some one who had entered the
house for plunder. After some days
'they arrested saloon keeper In a town
the murderer of Higglns. Hlggins had
by accident got hold of some love let
ters which the youug man had written
and had refused to give them up for
less than $100. Not having the money
to pay with aud being rendered des
perate, he had gone to search the bouse
at night. Saltcrs told of the conversa
tion when Hlggins came down stairs
how he got in and got out aud all the
details. I advised him to go to the
police, and, as In the other case, they
locked him up and felt sure that they
had the right man at Inst.
I was not retained by young Salters,
who announced that he would make no
defense, but I set out to clear up a few
points to satisfy my own curiosity. I
was not ions in ascertaining that he
was not in love with any girl and had
never been known to write a love let
ter; also that on the night of the mur
der he was in a town 20 miles away.
When these facts became known to the
police, they had to, drop their case,
though Salters protested to the last
that he was guilty. I had lost my keen
interest in the matter when a strange
woman, who introduced herself as Mis.
Hasklns, called at my oflice to make a
confession. She was a woman of 40,
good looking and intelligent and claim
ing to be a widow and to reside in a
town SO nilles away. She It was who
killed Mr. Higglns, and she had with
her the pistol from which the shot ha'd
been fired. The deceased, as she claim
ed with many details, had wronged her
only daughter while passing himself
off ns a single man. She had haunted
his store, but he had dodged her. She
had tried to meet him on the street,
but he had evaded her. As a last re
sort she had entered his house and
made the noise that brought him down
stairs.
In my experience as a lawyer I never
heard a stralghter Btory, but before
sending the woman to the police, as in
the other cases, I began to Investigate.
The very first move proved that she
was either a monstrous liar or a bit
crazy. The lady at whose house she
claimed to have stopped had never even
heard of her. Then I discovered that
she had no daughter and that Mr. Hig
glns could not have known her and
that he had not visited her town for
12 years. To cap the climax, she was
home on the night of the murder.
There was one more Instance, and It
partook of the ridiculous at once. A
one -legged man named Wells, a resi
dent of the town, gave himself up to
the police as the murderer. He claim
ed to be a somnambulist and that the
deed was done while he was asleep.
ne didn't think he ought to be punish
ed, but he wanted to bo tried and ac
quitted. Not one true statement did
he make In all his story, and ho was
told to take his leg and get out. The
hunt for the true criminal was kept up
for a year, but he was never discover
ed. The police were no doubt right In
their first theory. The man entered the
house for plunder, aud, being discover
ed, If not attacked, he fired the fatal
shot and then escaped. It was more
than likely that he was a stranger to
the town.
You will naturally ask why those
people should have charged themselves
with a crime that they were not guilty
of. A physician could probably give
you a clearer answer, niy incory is
that they had taken an Intense Interest
in. the case, and from argument with
themselves how the crime was com
mitted or how they would have com
mitted it they got to the point of believ
ing that they actually did commit It.
Such cases are by no means rare, and It
must bo for some such reason that
courts often refuse to accept a plea of
guilty and give the accused a fair trial
for his life and liberty. Thero are peo
ple, as every lawyer and detoctive
knows, who are anxious to be witness
es in a case and will perjuro them
selves on the stand without seeming
to "be aware of It, and it is in carrying
out this singular line of conduct or
train of thought that oue may come to
accuse himself.
With lovine enra n vnnnot wen hirH
Outcast like her, without a neet.
And long it seemed the bird and child
Must periBh on that famished shore
Until the child grew stiong and smiled
Lntil the bird began to toar.
And soaring on to cloudless heigtit
He drew down stars upon his breast
A full -grown eagle, in his flight
He reached the ocean toward the r t.
The child is grown to womanhood,
No blot nor stain her beauty mars,
Her eyes are true, her heart is good.
Her modeBt garment shows the stars.
Columbia is the woman's name
Who holds her banner high unfurled,
Ti e years add lustre to her fame,
Her eagle circles round the world.

There is only one way to cure Deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed eon
dition of the mucuous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound o
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be re-
srtoyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by ratarrh, which ia nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
