4 Wsn-Known Physician Arrested fox
Completely in 1t.
BANson, Maine, March 2.-Ths great sem
satio1al case OF tho Bennett robbery has b en-
revived here, with increased interest and sI-
sitement Il will bs remembered that in the
fall Of last year Old Peter Bennett, OF New
port, was assaulted in his home by two msn
and robbed Of over $4,000. The men beat
the old man SO badly that it was feared for q
time that he would not live The police
arrested as the robbers two men named
Whitnsy and Foster. the latter said to be
well connected in New York City, and last
week Foster pleaded guilty rsthsr than
sand trial and have his true name appear.
Whitney also pleaded guilty, and both have
yet to be sentenced.
A new feature was developed last night,
when DIR. Weed, a physician of Newport and
oas Of the best known medical meu in the
State, was arrested for completely in the
great burglary. Suspicious have rested on
DR.. Weed for some time, but his position in
the community where he has resided and the
fact that nothing definite could be traced to
him. deferred tbs officers from placing him
andsr arrest
The recent confessions OF the other two
prisonsrs, Whitney and Foster, the young
Kew Workers, have no doubt implicated DR..
Weed in the robbery, although that part Of
their confession has not yet been made
public. The arrest was made by Sheriff
Brown and Deputy Sheriff Malonsy, vino
went to Newport on Tuesday evenings train
and brought the prisoner here yesterday
morning. He stoutly denied the charge and
said they were putting up a job on him.
DIR. " sed refused to see q reporter, and he
requested that no one be admitted TO sec
him. Ths officers also refuse to tell much
about the affair as yet The people OF New
port have been suspicious that DR.. Weed and
others were implicated in this robbery. and
his absence from home that night and ths
fact that he was with Whitney and Foster
and certain others playing poker in his Office
On Sunday afternoon have been common
salk He WAS never willing to say where he
was that night Dr.. Harvey dressed Mr..
Bennstt's wounds, but DR.. Weed saw the
old man the next day ami was interviewed
by several reporters about the case. Ths fact
that Mr.. Beunett claims to nave lost $50, 00O
and is sure OF it, while Whitney and Foster
claim to have taken only $50, ,OOO, has led to
the belief that others were connected with
the robbery and got some Of the money. Ths
statement of Mr.. Bennett that he believed
some Of his money was in circulation in New
port shortly after the robbery also pointed to
the same fact, and it would appear now as if
some diss ,rsement about the division OF the
svoiis had exposed the affair more fully and
lsd to the arrest OF DR., Weed. The doctor

In answer TO the questions by Mr.. Nor

the cotton seed oil and stearine was put

contest going he regarded as controversy
between business interested in maintain
ing the price OF lard and one interested in
giving an equally good article at a cheaper
price. He did not think that the falling off
in the exports of lard could be entirely ac-
counted for by the fact that the refined
lard was exported. 1t might be caused by
an increase in the European hog and olive
crops.
