HIGGINS
MAKES AN
ACCUSATION
Claims He Did Not XII Do
herty, but That doodspeed
Was the Real Murderer.

ST. John, N B., Sept. PA situation
unexpected by the crown authorities has
developed in the remarkable juvenile
murder case now being tried here Frank

accused OF shooting William Doherty. a
companion of the same age. at Rockwood
park. just outside the city. on Aug 1.
sets up the claim that Fred Goodspeed,
aged IL was the murderer.
Goodspeed was indicted at the same
time as Higgins was. but only as an uc-
cessory after the fact. Goodspeed ac-
cuses the defendant now on trial OF
shooting Doherty.
The three boys were said to have been
members OF band OF petty thieves and
burglars, two of whom are now in the
penitentiary at Dorchester for commit
ting robberies. All were victoms of cheap
literature, Ii is asserted. The last rob-
berry committed before the murder, was
at Brownville. Me-, where store WAS
plundered.
The body of Doherty was found in TIE
park several days after his disappear
ance. At the time suspicion was directed
against some of his companions. but no
arrests were made until Aug s. eight
days after the murder, when Higgins and
Goodspeed started for Portland, Me-
Goodspeed was acquainted there and
also in Massachusetts,. he having been
in Boston last fall. and employed later
in the Naumkeag cotton mills of Salem.

The boys were locked up and next day
were returned to st. John. The trial has
been in progress here a week and will
last several days longer. AS the state
ments of Goodspeed ana Higgins are di-
reotly opposed to each other, and no
other person saw the murder. the flnal
outcome of the case is much in doubt.

Leather of the Egyptians.

The ancient Egyptians were skilled

ufactured it in various ways and for
various purposes besides that of fur
nishing coverings for the feet. Indeed
it is to those builders of the pyramids

be ascertained from history and the
researches of archaeolOgists the Egyp-
tians were the first shoemakers who
were worthy of the name.
1t is fact too. that tanners of to-
day employ very much the same meth
DDS as did the ancients. About the
same materials are used, and the proc
esses are almost precisely similar to
those in vogue hundreds of years ago
1t is true that tanners of the present
day have found means of greatly short
ening the time required to convert q
hide into leather and that steam power
and modern machinery have done much
to expedite and improve the processes
of finishing the leather; but, after all
the principles of tanning remain the
same as they have been from the first
