Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 92.-Richard Hig-
gins, IL prominent young man of this
city and the son of inc,nber of the
county board of supervisors, is mt the
county Jail charged with a sensational
murder, aud his sister. Miss Jennie
Higgins, is under police surveillance
as an accessory before and after the
fact, but has not been placed under
arrest. The young people are charged
with being responsible for the death
of Mrs. Nellie Thomasson, Of Lacon.
who died Thursday evening and who,
it is alleged, was tile paramour of the
senior Higgins, father of the accused
young people.
Letter Came at the Wrong Time.
Mrs. Thomasson formerly lived in
this city, where her husband still re-
sides. The couple separated and 1t is
alleged Higgins was responsible for the
separation. Mrs. Thomasson went to
Lacon to live with her mother. but
came to Peoria frequently to see IIig-
gins. Last Friday the son and daugh-
ter intercepted letter from the wo.
man, in which she said she was COM
ing to this city the next day to meet
Higgins. Their father was out of the
city and the young people went to meet
her instead. They received her at the
boat landing and induced her to go
with them to the Rock Island station
at the noon hour. None of the EN-.
ployes was there, and there are NO
witnesses to what took place.
Died Without Making a Statement.
That the woman was terribly beaten
by the young people became evident
when the employees at the station re.
turned and found her lying senseless
and bleeding in the waiting room
t.There was every evidence of a. strug.
gle and the floor was covered with
blood. Mrs. Thoma sson would say moth
ing about the affair at the time ex.
cept that she had been set upon and
beaten, and asked to be placed on the
train for her home. This was done
and although several attempts were
made to obtain statement from her
she died without giving one. She had
been terribly beaten and, apparently
kicked.
