DISCIPLE OF HOLMES.
Minneapolis Woman Charged with
Killing Her Sister for
Insurance.

Minneapolis. Mimi. Aug. 23.-Mrs.
Lora Perkins was arrested late last
night charged with the murder of her
sister, Mrs Louise Hawkins, the sup
posed motive for the alleged crime being
the fact that Mrs. Hawkins had $1,000
insurance on her life.
Mrs. Hawkins died August 8, four
hours after the overturning of a lamp
near bed where she lay Ill. The fire
was supposed to be accidental, but a
similar accident had occurred several
week before and this aroused the sus-
picion of the police. In company with
the insurance officials they have been
making a quiet investigation which re-
suited in last nights arrest. There are
two policies on Mrs. Hawkins life
one for $4,000 in the Fidelity and Cas-
ualty and one for $4,000 in the Security
Mutual Life.
The sisters were widows and Mrs.
Perkins has one child. Mrs. Hawkins
burns were so serious that she suffered
in agony without being able to tell what
happened. The police absolutely, refuse
to disclose the nature of the evidence.
The policies were taken out April 9
and are in Mrs. Perkins favor 1t is UNI
derstood that the state expects to prove
that the bedclothing was saturated with
oil and ignited, and the lamp overturned
to conceal the crime On the other hand,
the defense claims to have an ante-mOr-
tenn statement of Mrs. Hawkins to the
effect that she overturned the lamp her
see Mrs. Perkins in the lookup. but she
is cool and unruffled She will be ar
rsigned on Monday and meanwhile an
Inquest will be held, the coroner having
al first declined to hold an inquest, as
tie death seemed evidently accidental.
