iMPERSONh1ED THE VICTIM.
Principal Piece of Evidence Against MI

Principal Piece of Evidence Against Mrs.
Perkins.
MINNEAPo,Is, Aug. 27.-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
kins is the assertion that she imperson.
ated Ms. Hawkins III taking out the
two insurance policies, forged Mrs.
Hawkins signt:rre TO the policies and
herself paid tie two premiums. The
agents who wrote the policies will both
swear that it was Mrs. Perkins, the de-
PENDANT, who made cut the application
for the policies and signed them, repre-
senting herself to them to I've 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
a 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.

they manage to so cleverly and quietly
tip a bunch to the fellows that they are

the police and the general public cannot
draw the line between a streetwalker

evitable that some mistakes will be made
in these matters.
Pierre dispatch, &c: The case Of
South Dakota va. w. w. Taylor was ar
gued on habeas corpus before the state
supreme court to day. Attorneys for
the state commended that the sentence is
valid, and if the five years sentence is
not valid and the lower court exceeded
it's jurisdiction, then it was invalid only
insomuch as it exceeded the jurisdiction
Of the court. The defense contended
that the state is a body polite, and not
a public corporation, and that there is
no law defining as a crime the taking of
money from a body polite. The court
adjourned until to-morrnw. The gener-
al opinion is the sentence Of the lower
court will be sustained.
