"THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY.n
Miss Webb. Formerly of Winterport Under
Arrest for Arson.

Miss Webb. Formerly of Winterport Under
Arrest for Arson.
A strange story comes from Dorchester,
Mass, concerning Miss Mary A. Webb, a
former resident of Winterport. She was
arrested Friday evening charged with set
ting fire which early that morning dam
aged the home in which she lived and i'm
periled the lives of half dozen of the oc-
cupants The bed clothing of Miss Webb
was torn into strips and the room soaked
in kerosene. Miss Webb herself was found
in an excited state in nearby corntield,
where she said she had been chased by bur-
glars, who threatened to take her life. j.
{. Lowell, who had known Miss Webb
from an infant declared her arrest to be an
outrage and said that while he lived and
had IA cent she should not lack for anything.
After the arrest Miss Webb said to the Oh
tcers: Il did not do it. did not do it. -
The Boston Journal says:
Miss Webb has resided in the Pitman
house, which is one of the landmarks OF
Dorchester and said to be Ill years old,
for the past three OF four years. She was
of secretive disposition, telling no one
what she did nor from whence she came.
She did not make friends OF the other in
mates of the house, and she was known to
the neighborhood as the ''woman of mys-
terry" Ten years ago she met with an &C
cident while aiighting from car which
paralyzed her left side, making it practical
ly impossible for her to walk. Sometimes,
with the assistance of a pair of clutches,
she was able to hobble around little.
A year ago her aged father, with whom
she lived, died, and since that time she has
kept more to herself than ever. The rail-
road at the time of the accident made her a
small payment of money, and this, with
what she earned in embroidery work, in
which she was an expert, enabled her to
drag out miserable existence.
Miss Webb is 40 years old, and is the last
in the line of the Webb family, formerly
prominent in Winterport, Me. She is the
daughter of Nathaniel Webb, a ship joiner
of that town. Miss Webb, according to the
neigbbors, had recently disposed Of a lot of
her old furniture, and in its place had
bought some new. On this furniture there
is said to be insurance to the amount of
$500

One of the pleasantest summer colonies
In this vicinity Is that at The Battery on
the shore of the bay, about one and d half
miles from the city. The nameis due to
the fact that a battery was constructed
and troops stationed there duringth the Civil
War, some of the earthworks still remain
ing. The first cottage on the right is that
of MIR. and Mrs. E. S. Pitcher, the second
Is owned by Mrs. j. I. Pottle. Next, but
built since this photograph was taken, is
the cottage of Judge George E. johnson,
and third in the picture is the cottage for
merly owned by him, but now the property
of DR.. George w. Stoddard. The cottage
on the left. formerly owned by Jordan W.
COombs and Frank A. Riggs, is now the
summer home of John X. Dunton. Esq,
and Miss Margaret Dunton. Next in line
and shown in the upper left hand corner
of the picture is the handsome cottage
built by l. w. Parker and occupied by
members of his family. little farther
down the shore, but almost completely
hidden by foliage,is the fine new cottage of
Mayor l.. T. Shaies. The Battery grounds
comprise five acres fronting on the bay
with right of way to NorthpOrt avenue.
The cOttagers can dig CLAIMS in their front
yards. catch cunners and other fish just off
the shore, and have good facilities for sea
bathing. They go to their cottages early
and stay late and have a good time gen
orally.
