Sheds Some Light on the Lat
:. est Minneapolis Murder
/ Sensation.
The Dead Woman and Her AL
j legged Slayer Not Sisters,
He Says.
His Former Wife Completely
Under the Power of Mrs.
Perkins.

. KANSAS CITY, Aug. 26. - William
Mulvihiu, conductor on street rail
way line here, was formerly the hus-
band of Mrs. Louise Hawkins, who was
burned to death recently at Minneapolis
and with whose murder Mrs. Nora
Perkins, an alleged sister, is now
charged. Mr.. Mulvihill, when seen by
a local paper, was very much indisposed
to talk about the matter. Finally he
stated that he had been divorced from
Mrs. Hawkins in Des Moines, Ia., in
1891. The divorce, he stated, was the
result of mutual understanding be-
tween his wife and himself. Concern
ing the grounds for divorce, he would
say nothing, except that Mrs. Nora
Perkins, a widow, had alienated his
wife's affections and had obtained com,
plete control of her. Mrs. Perkins was
not u sister of Mrs Hawkins, although
the two women
Claimed to-Be Sisters.
He understood that after he got his di-
vorce and left Des Moines, where his
family lives, the two women went to
Minneapolis. He heard that his former
wife had married a horseman named
Hawkins. Of the particulars Of this
and of what had become of Hawkins he
knew nothing, He did not even know
that the two were married.
His former wife seemed to be COM
pletely infatuated with Mrs. Perkins.
He had furnished a home for his wife
and was in the employ Of railway com.
pany in Des Moines, and was getting
along well when Mrs. Perkins came
along and broke up the family. AS tc
just what she did in detail Mr.. Mulvi.

RANSOM TO BE REAPPOINTED.

He Need Not Return to Mexico. How
ever, Unless He So Desires.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
Matt w. Ransom Of North Carolina will
be reappointed United States minister
to Mexico, and the president will thus
rectify the blunder made in the first ap-
pointment of Mr.. Ransom while he was
still member of the senate. Whether
Mr.. Ransom will return to Mexico or
not will depend entirely upon his own
wishes.
In deciding what to do in the matter,
Mr.. Ransom will be governed very
largely, if not entirely, by consideration
as to his health. If Mr.. Ransom finds
it advisable to decline the Mexican mis-
sion, he will probably be offered some
other place, though none is now vacant,
or likely to become vacant in the near
future that will compare favorably with
the mission to Mexica.

iMPERSONATED THE VICTIM.
Principal Piece of Evidence Against Mrs.
Perkins.

Principal Piece of Evidence Against Mrs.
Perkins.
M1NNEAPoLIs, Aug. 26.-The sensa-
tional arrest of Mrs. Lora Perkins for
the murder of Mrs. Lola Hawkins is
still the talk Of the town. The funda-
mental and principal piece of evidence
which the state has against Mrs. Per-
Ens is the assertion that she imperson-
ated Mrs. Hawkins in taking out the
two insurance policies, forged Mrs.
Hawkins signature to the policies and
herself paid the two premiums. The
agents who wrote the policies will both
swear that it was Mrs. Perkins, the de-
fendant, who made out the application
for the policies and signed them, repre-
senting herself to them to be Mrs.
Hawkins and signing the name, Lola
Hawkins.
Another Strong Point,
this being circumstantial evidence, is
that Mrs. Perkins boy, Frank, told
certain parties that his mother had
told him the night before the fatal fire
to sleep with all his clothes on. The
state can prove that the boy stated
his mother told him to do this and
that he also said she told him to have
all his clothes on the night before the
first fire occurred At the hour the first
occurred certain of the neighbors were
q little surprised to see Frankie rush
from the burning house fully dressed,
and asked him how it happened, receiv-
ing theply that his mother told him the
night before to sleep on the lounge with
his clothes on

PENNlLESS COAL MEN.

They Make Serious Accusations Against
Their Employers.
DULUTH, Aug. 24.-Forty men, who
had been laboring on the Superior
docks of the Northwestern Coal Rail-
way company. and had been brought
fr ,m Milwaukee by that company,
came over here because the Superior
authorities would not feed or shelter
them. They slept in the Duluth police
station. The settlement Of the strike
at Superior has thrown them out of
work aud they have no money with
which to return home. The company,
they claim, got them up here on the
statement that large number of the
men had quit the docks to work in the
Dakota harvest fields, at the same time
denying that they were wanted to fill
the places of the strikers. The com.
pany refuses to pay their fares home.

Debs Attacks the Old Political
Parties in a Letter to Chi
cago Populists.
Both Controlled by the Money
Power and Controlled by
Its Influence.
Present Rulers the "MoSt Infa-
nous That Ever Cursed
the Country"

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-"General'' Cox
ey, Populist candidate for governor OF
Ohio, addressed large assemb]age at a
Populist meeting in the city during the
afternoon. He told those present that
he would be the next governor Of Ohio,
and would probably be the Popul'st cam
didate for president in 1896 A letter
was read from Eugene V. Debs, the
president of the A. r. u, who is new
confined in the Jail at Woodstock, Ills.
It is a remarkable document III that it
attacks in most vicious manner all the
doings Of the old political parties, the
present administration, etc.
Debs says that to expect q change
from the old parties is idiocy. "Both
Controlled by the Money Power
and both are equally debauched by its
influence"
Debs then re! x- to the present ma
tional administrs ION as 'probably the
most infamous that has ever cursed the
country" He says that the "Demo.
cratic party, incapable and corrupt, full
of false professions, detested and
scorned throughout the land, is as dead
as mummy and enbalmed in it's own
slime.'
He then states that in one regard the
Republican party is superior to the
Democratic, because it does not hesl.
tate to "boldly champion every measure
calculated to enlarge the power OF plu'
tocracy while the Democratic party
makes profession of
Loyalty to the People
to which it turns traitor in the supreme
hour of trial." There is but one course
open-to turn boldly to the Peoples
party. It is impossible to either cleanse
or deodorize the old parties.
Debs then goes on to scarify the
courts and abuses President Cleveland
in most ibelous manner, winding, ul
by characterizing Judge Woods, who
sentenced him to imprisonment, as
"Czar Woods, who, in the interest OF
corporations and in defiance of my con
stitutional rights, deprived me of my

.ASEIRIOUS CHARGE
Mrs. Laura Perkins of Minne-
apolis Accused of Her Sis 4
ter's Murder.
CARRIED HEAVY INSURANCE.
Her Death Caused by a Fire
Declared to Have Been Z
Accidental. =

MlNNEAPOLIS, Aug. 24.-Mrs. Laura
Perkins, charged with the murder OF
her twin sister Lola, was arraigned in
the police court during the afternoon
and remanded without bail to appear
Thursday next for preliminary hear
Ing. Mrs. Hawkins, the dead woman,
expired on the morning OF Aug. 9trom
injuries supposed to have been received
by the accidental explosion of a lamp.
The recent developments in the case
and the arrest of Mrs. Perkins have
caused sensation in this city second
onlv to the murder Of Catherine Cling,
and the motive for the crime is said to
have been the same in both cases.
Mrs. Hawkins carried $1,000 insurance
on her life, and her sister. Mrs. FER
kins, now under arrest, was the sole
beneficiary.
Was Supposed to b" Accidental.
At the time of the occurrence every
one supposed it to have been accidental,
ana no one for minute ever thought
tnat the sister, still alive and a widow
who resides with her one child, was
capable Of the terrible act Of which ste
now stands accused.
Superintendent of Police Smith, how.
ever, looked into the case slightly and
finally consulted with County Attorney
Nye. and, as q result Of their investl-
cations, Inspectors Lawrence and hoy
were detailed to work on the case, and
the insurance companies, too. asked to
do some investigating before paying
the 81 900 insurance. They sent their
two medical inspectors to this city,
and since that time work has been 60
ing on night and day on the case, with
the result that Mrs. Perkins was ar
rested on the terrible charge.
Two Lamp Explosions.
Mrs. Hawkins, the deceased. was
injured on two different occasions
by lamp explosions. The first al
legged explosion simply burned her
hands in quite serious manner. The
occasion Of the second alleged lamp ex-
plosion Of Aug. 9is the one about
which interest entirely oenters.
The theory OF the state is that while
tho deceased slept, Mrs. Perkins satu'
rated her sisters clothing with kero-
sene oil and set fire to it with matches;
that then she, herself, upset the lighted
lamp on tho stand to add credibility to
the story that Mrs. Hawkins had acci-
dentally overturned it in her sleep.
The flames at once
Envsloped the Sleeping Woman
and Mrs. Perkins screamed for help.
No effort was made by Mrs. Perkins to
put out the flames and it was not until
the arrival Of neighbors that anything
was done. Then help was too late to
be a,y service to Mrs. Hawkins.
She WIS burned almost to a crisp.
Pubic ympathy is strongly with the
arrested woman, and many believe that
the authorities and insurance detec-
tives have been too hasty and have
worked terrible and irreparable in
jury. Others in a position to form a
clearer opinion do not for a moment be.
lieve County Attorney Nye would issue
the warrant did he not have at his
hand almost certain evidence Of the
charge which he has made.
