TO BURN HIS STORE.
Newton Merchant Plans a Big Fire
But Is Blocked.

Newton, March 29-D. E. Richards, a
furniture dealer of this city, today con-
fessed that he had for some weeks been
planning to burn down his store for the
insurance and lay the suspicion of in
cendarism against a former partner of
his by the name of B. F. Newell, against
whom he had some kind of a grudge.
He offered his clerk, John Withkowski,
$65 and a bed room suit if he would as
sist him. This Withkowski pretended
he would accept, but Immediately in
formed J. J. Norton, a marble cutter
having q shop next door, of the proposed
crime, and asked him to assist him In
trapping Richards. A hole was cut in
the wall between the two stores and
Norton listened to Richards and With
kowski talk over the plan for burning
the store. The county attorney was no.
titled of the affair." and it was decided to
trap Richards, if possible.
Last Sunday Richards looked over
his insurance policies and discovered
that the companies could settle the loss
by replacing the stock. This was not
what he wanted, as he desired the cash,
and he therefore declared the matter
off.
In some way it leaked out and today
Richards confessed the whole matter to
Huber Norton, the father of j. J. Nor
ton. He will probably leave town.

Boston, March 29.-It is believed that
the hull of the lost steamer Portland

a quantity of steamer fnishings entan-
