CLUE TO ROBERTS, MYSTERY.
Coffin Plate Found Under Doorsteps of
Westbrook House.

Another incident in the Roberts grave
robbery happened in Westbrook yesterday
when Mr.. Kennison of Union st. broughtto
the city marshal the plate that was taken
from the casket of Mrs. Roberts at the
time an attempt was made to steal her
body. 1t seems that family by the
name of Kfmball have been living in the
same house with Mr.. Kennison. On
Tuesday the Kimball family moved away
and after they were gone Mr.. Kennison
found the plate under the lower doorstep.
The Kimball family in moving their cook
stove out broke the top of the lower door
step and Mr.. Kennison in trying to fix
the step discovered the plate and immedi-
ately brought it to City Marshal Knight.
1t is highly probably that the find may
lead to the discovery of the guilty party
or parties.
