FLAMES DREW DEATH
RING AROUND CRIPPLE
Charred Body of Recluse Found
in Poverty-Stricken Cam

A legacy of bread crusts and empty
whisky bottles was the only thing left by
Horace Higgins. The charred body lay on
The kitchen floor of his home, at 113S Car
.psnter street, Camden
The fingers of his hands pointed toward
two crutches behind the kitchen door. Hig-
rims had been a cripple for years Death
had come no doubt. as he hobbled toward
the crutches, on which he had hoped to
escape.
broken lamp globe lay on tho floor and
near II was the bowl which held the oil.
IA line Of charred wood extended from the
lamp and encircled the body of Higgins
On the table was a broken pipe and box of
matches which had been upset. Soiled
dishes and a plate with several crusts were
on the table near the pipe.
Tho mute evidence showed. according to
Detective Painter, that Higgins had leaned
over to light his pipe BY the lamp flame and
knocked the lamp to the floor. In some
manner his clothing became ignited. II Is
probable, the police say, that the man was
IN a stupor and finally fell to the floor.
As he lay there the flames gradually en-
ercled the body The circle narrowed until
II brought death to the PROSTATE man.
Higgins was known as a recluse. There
was nothing but .broken bed and a few
wrecked chairs in the house in which he
lived. Whisky bottles were piled in many
corners and also on chairs.
The man had worked for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad When he lost his right leg
IN an accident many years ago the COM
pany gave him the job as messenger, so
that he might eke out a living. About ten
days ago he disappeared.
The police were searching for him. To-
day Robert Wagner, who lived near the
Higgins house. decided to search the house.
When he opened the kitchen door he saw
The mans charred body.
Higgins always had a premonition that
some accident would befall him. Some time
ago he gave Wagner a key to his house in
