Celebrated author, biographer and renaissance man, Charles Higham has died at the age of 81. He will probably be best remembered for his sometimes scathing biographies of world figures and celebrities. Two years ago Mr. Higham called to discuss his current project, a theory book on the Borden case.  He thought he had come up with something new and exciting.  His thought was that Emma and John Morse were thick in the plot to do away with the Bordens.  I suggested he come to Fall River to get a better perspective on the crime scene, the city, and the circumstances. He adamantly refused to consider a trip, which is unfortunate.  He also seemed dismayed that this idea of Morse and Emma was far from being a new theory.  He never called again and the manuscript remained dormant on the shelf.  Was he discouraged that he had not solved the crime?  One wonders if his manuscript will now ever be published.
