REMARKABLE CASE.
A Burglar Attempts To Cremate a
Hiss Higins, of Richmond.
Richmond. Va., Dec. 2. A
very remarkable case was yes
terday callecl to the attention of
the - police. .The night before
about 10:30 a burglar -entered tl.e
residence of Mr. John M. Higgin?,
at 219 Grvernor street, and at
tempted to cremate ; his daughter,
Miss Marie Higgins. The father
is a prominent business man here
and for years a member of the
jjity council. '. A short time be
fore this very remarkable attack
Mr. Higgins and all of the mem
bers of his family, except the
young lady referred to and a
'grown, brother, were away from
home. At 10:30 they returned
home and after spending a short
time in the sitting room retired;
The young lady and Her brother
went to the dining room for -a
lunch. When they reached that
room Miss Higgins found that she
had left the keys to the pantry on
the table in the front parlor, and
went back- alone to get them.
Just as she reached the table she
was seized from behind, a hand
was pressed over her mouth and a
piece of cloth tied around her
eyes. Her unknown, assailant'
dragged her toward the rear win
dows of the room. Here is the
singular part of the case. After
getting her in the back part of
the room" the burglar is said to
have snatched off her -bracelets
and tied around her wrists a cloth
saturated with turpentine, Which
he set fire to, tili holding his hand
over her mouth to keep; her from
alarming the house and also keep
ing her arms secured. At this
juncture the young lady broke
awry from the dexterpus burglar
and ran screaming down the hall.
The family, alarmed rushed to
her side, and her brother tore
from her wrists the burning ban
drges and she was carried upstairs
in a fainting condition. The case
was reported to the police yester
day and two negro men have been
arrested. There is, however, no
the fourth attempt made to bur
glarize the Higgins house.
