PRICE ONE CENT, MISS BIGGAR FOILS POLICE. -Actress Still Evades Arrest on the Warrant Charg-| ing Her with Conspiracy for Millions. MAY LOSE WHOLE FORTUNE. Prosecution Threatens to Pro- duce Mother of the Bogus Baby Which Was Represented | to Be Millionaire Bennett's. Despite vizorous search by police and court deputies, Actress Laura Biggar, the central tigure in the plot to land a million-dollar estate by a fictitious mar- riage and a bogus baby, is still a fugt- tive from Jersey justice. After escaping unobserved from Dr. Hendricks’s sanitarium, at Bayonne, all trace of her movements has been lost. Judge Wilbur A. Helsley, in court the exposure of the conspiracy and greed was revealed, said to-day that he expected the woman to appear before him with a bondsman and surrender herself. . From the lawyers for the Bennett hens comes the threat to-day to pro- duce the mother of the baby which Laura Biggar intended to palm off as old man Hennatt's posthumous child “Half of the detalis of this gigantic 9 steal a ion have not : sald Lawyer Frank Hawkins, the administrator of the Ben- nett estate. “We will yet have a full contession from one of the conspirators When we produce the mother of this child some of those tmplicated will tell all rr immunity. Hendricks Head Conspirator. The finding of the mother of the child through whose existence Laura Biggar Spected to Bet $1,000,000, Is the most mportant discovery that we can make, id Lawyer Hawkins, who drew Mr. (ta will. ‘he {dea of a cere- whose conspiracy ie monlal marriage originated in the brain of Hendricks. Before Laura Biggar met him she had but two tdens concerning the will, One was that she would stand by the provisions of the will and clean up say $100,000 or anywhere from that tigre up to $600,000. The other was to acknowledge her sin before the whole world and put in a claim as the com- mon law wife of Bennett. “Then came He..dricks into the case. He knew, about the Robert Ray Hamil- ton will, in which the bogus baby formed such a prominent part. He is a physician and a lawyer and has a sanitarlum The rest was apparently easy. Every one who ever knew Laura | Biggar says she {s money mad. She wanted all of qe estate and Dr. Hen- dricks wanted her to have it.” Judge Heisley to-day recelved a com- munication from Lawyer Frankenstein asking 4£ he would be in town all day, in case Laura Biggar gave herself up. Where the woman was this morning only her lawyers know. That she would give herself up was, promised by Dr. Hendricks yesterday. Lawyers on both sides Lelleve she will, She has abso- lutely nothing to gain by hiding. Woman May Get Nothing. ‘All of the lawyers for the legatees mentioned In the Bennett will were jubilant to-day over the outlook. Whether or‘not Laura Biggar ts con- victed of conspiracy they declare that she can recelve but a small portion of the estate, and from present Indications she has little chance for any of tt. She would probably rather take her Mberty and $0,000 than stand trial, That the Grand Jury will indict the accused the prosecuting lawyers say there is no doubt They point to the overwhelming evi- dence of conspiracy that caused Judge Helsley to hold Hendricks and Stanton fo $5,000, and say that It js sufficient for 4p indictment and a conviction without the rest of the evidence of gullt that they have, even if the reai mother of the | baby Is not found. Both Dr. Hendricks and Stanton. spent a woeful night in the Freehold Jail, Expected to Surrender. A “The woman will never remain a fugi- tive from justice,” sald Judge Heisley to-day. ‘he has too much at stake, She will probably seek legal advice, and any lawyer will tell her that the best thing to do is to answer the warrant for conspiracy which {s tut against ner, fight the charge, accept the Court's ver- Gict and take What is rightly her share of the Bennett estate, “1 do not know what Is the exac amount willed to her by Mr, Bennett. “I. s several hundred thousand. Con- trary to general belief, there is no clause in the wiH barring any legatee from entering a contest. If there were she would not be debarred, Inasmuch as she withdrew her action, which was not actually an attack on the will, but an doteuot to supersede feged widowhood and motherhood those who would Inherit under the document. “ier lawyers will tell her this ana (Continued on Second Page.)
