Francis D. Newton, a prosperous farm
or who lived two miles from Brookfeld,
Center, Mass, on the road to Sturbridge,
was found murdered Sunday evening, to-
gether with his wife, Sarah, and their 10
years-old adopted daughter Ethel. The
crime was probably committed Friday
night and the hired man, known only by
the name of Paul, is missing, and is sus-
pected of the triple murder. 1t is be-
lieved that the motive was robbery An
attempt was made to conceal the murder
by setting fire to the house. Kerosene
was discovered on the floor of the wood
shed, and lamp was found placed so
that it would have set fire to the wood.
One stick was burned through, but for
some unaccountable reason a blaze was
