GIRL HYPNOT|ZED
BY HIGGINS IS
CHARGED
Relatives Of Julia Flake Assert
She Was Hinder Control of
Mothers Slayer.

GALESBURG, ILL, Jan. 24.-"I am
innocent. My conscience is absolutely
clear They forced that confession
from me-" says Robert Higgins to-
day, accused as the murderer of his
wife that he might marry her fifteen
year old daughter, Julia Flake
He tempted me, I will go on the
witness stand and send him to the
gallows," is the grim declaration of
the young girl who is suspected OF
cause of her infatuation for her
26-year-old stepfather.
My boy couldn't have done that
1t is not true! All the money | have
him. if necessary" cries aged Albert
Higgins. the father of the accused
uxoricide.
Higgins must have been insane %
Idvance. No man who was rational
could contemplate seriously such a
thing day after day without seeing
the awful folly of it," is the dictum
of Oscar e. Carlstrom, the attorney
for Higgins.
These statements, from the leading
figures in the grew some crime, and
from those nearest to them, reveal
the present status of the now no
torious case.
Insanity Defense.
Insanity will undoubtedly be H!g-
gins defense. This is foreshadowed
in the opinion Higgins lawyer has
passed upon his client.
AS for Julia Flake, who is charged
with being both the motive for, and
the promoter, she hates her step
father to-day as intensely as she had
previously loved him.
Her mothers relatives are now
unanimous in declaring that Higgins
inundated or hypnotiZed Julia into
writing the come and kill letters"
and that the little girl, far from hav-
ing schemed to prevail upon her step
father to love her was the victim of
a brutal and grevious wrong at his
hands.
Higgins, too, has undergone a
change of heart, and, repudiating all
his confession, says:
81 didn't know that there was q
shell in the shotgun when | pulled
the trigger. They can't prove who
loaded it,
Pins Hope on Father.
Higgins pins his hope OF escaping
the gallows upon his fathers money
and his family's influence. Although
lawyers, detectives and reporters hat;
left Higgins cell with frank confess
sions of his guilt, interlarded with
blame for the girl, his aged father
Albert Higgins. came away after a
two hours conference still convinced
that his son is innocent
My boy couldn't have done that.
1t is not true cried the old man.
"All the money ! have in the world
will be spent to save him if it is nee
essary.
Since his wife's death he has been
living with us. Don't tell me he was
not heart broken. He could not eat or
sleep. He grieved every minute Of
the day. We were so worried about
him that we kept someone constantly
witt. him to watch him. He has tosd
this story to save the girl, or else his
mind has given away after all his
grief. How do | know what the de-
tectives told him, or what they did H.
get this confession? l won't believe
it."
