CHOKED TO DEATH
BY HIS sON-IN-LAw AND DAUGHTER.
The Police Now Have Them Under
Arrest,

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-David Hig-
gins, brick layer, aged IS years,
living at IT'S Sangmoe street, was
found dead in his room last night.
The circumstances surrounding his
death are so suspicious that his
son-in.law, Richard Stapleton, and
his daughter, Minnie, are being
held by the Desplaines police to
await the result of the coroner's in
quest, which will be held this morn
ing. The police say that Stapleton
made this statement when arrest
ed:
Saturday morning they had a
row, in which Minnie choked her
pa. After she let him go he threw
himself on the cot and complained
Of feeling sick. We went away and
when we returned last night, found
him dead"
This story of Stapleton does not
coincide with that told by I. NJ.
Strong, who owns the house in
which Higgins died. Strong AYERS
that no penalty Of the law was Sc
we're enough to punish Mrs. Staple
ton, and that her husband was in
cluded in the same category.
Strong said: give weeks ago
old man Higgins rented room
from me. A week ago Richard
Stapleton and his wife came to &C.
cupy the same room with Higgins,
the woman being the old mans
daughter. She is a bad woman,
her husband is not bit better.
That morning about ] o'clock l
heard Higgins out in the hall. l
took him into my room and made
a bed for him on the sofa. He said
he was afraid Stapleton would kill
him, and that his daughter choked
him, so he could not sleep. The
next day turned the StapletOn's
out. They returned shortly after
and have since abused the old man
shamefully."
Strong stated that the woman
and Stapleton were accustomed to
beat and choke the old man cruel
ly, and the dead mans faced being
almost unrecognizable from scars
around the collar, indicates that he
was murdered by the couple.

Convicted on Circumstantial Evil
dence,

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 22.-The
jury in the Thide murder case
which has been on the road for the
ten days has returned a verdict of
murder in the first degree. The
penalty is shooting or hanging as
the murderer prefers. The crime
for which Thide was convicted,
was one of the most atrocious ever
committed in Utah. On the night
of the 80 of April his wife knocked
at the door of his saloon when he
seized a bread knife, ran out and
cut her throat. The evidence
was purely circumstantial. He
stoutly protests his innocence,
claiming his wife was murdered
by a member of the industrial
army which was encamped near
by.

Big Financial Concerns of Shady
Character About all Wiped Out
In Newspaper War.
PITTsBURG, Oct. 22.-The discre-
tionary pool system is on the rocks
in Pittsburg. These concerns, it is
estimated, handle between $3,C00,-
600 and 100000, representing s.
600 investors. Their clients, work.
ing men, ETC., are daZzled by the
prospect OF 200 per cent on their in
vestments, and many men have
mortgaged their homes, and it is
common talk that trustees of one
or two estates have also risked
money in these concerns.
The local newspapers have been
showing up the impossibility of
these pools lasting, and alleging
the responsibility of the mana
gers.
Saturday morning there was a
panic stricken rush of investors
upon the discretionary pool known
as the public stock exchange. The
managers fell back upon a clause
in the agreement. by which they
can require several days notice of
withdrawal. A short time later a
run began on "The Pittsburg Syn
dicate." Investors were paid until
noon, when the managers an
nounced the concern would only
pay during banking hours and
would return Monday. The panic
is spreading and it is anticipated
that within the n ext three days
almost every discretionary pool in
the city will be wiped out.
