Newport special says that as matter of
necessity Emily Burton will be arrested
as an accessory to her fathers murder.
She will have preliminary examination,
and be committed without bail. The dis.
patch adds that the aunt with whom Miss
Burton is now residing pretended to be
her friend until the confession was OBJ
tanned, but that she is now anxious to
have no further trouble with her. The
aunt was on unfriendly terms with the
Dorseys, and has been instrumental in
promoting the investigation which re-
suited in their arrest.
