KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept 2L-What
may become the most startling chap
ter in the mysterious disappearance of
Maude Belle Bonesteel, who left her
home On the night of January Ii, 1894,
and has never since been heard OF,
comes from a statement said to have
been made by Lawrence Higgins. a
ST. Louis man. Higgins was the
intimate friend of Herbert Corn
wall, who was shot and killed by
his brother, DR.. Richmond Cornwall,
of Kansas City, in a fight in st. Louis
three months ago. Higgins has told
newspaper reporter and others in
St Louis that Herbert Cornwall fre-
quently said that he saw DR.. Cornwall,
his brother, murder Maude Bonesteel
in his Office on West Ninth street
in Kansas City. This startling state
ment follows upon the heels of an afi-
davit made by Pat OHara, who claims
that John Cornwall, father of DR.. Corn
wall and Herbert Cornwall, the muir
dered man, paid him 500 to swear that
