expressed their opinion that the Rich
ards boys set the fire.
Deputy Sheriff Charles w. Jones of
China testified that he made an inves-
tigation of the Rand house last Sum-
day morning in company with the
selectmen. He did not think there was
any possibility of men getting into the
house, and out again in the manner
which the Richards boy had described.
Witness questioned the boy as to set
ting the fire in the house and barn,
but he stoutly denied both. The boy
was further questioned Monday by the
selectmen ana at that time ne
still denied setting fire to either build
ing and said thar the same one VINO
set fire to the barn must have set fire
to the house.
Insurance Commissioner Putnam tes-
titled in regard to the confession made
by the Richards boy to him. He stat
ed that the boy told him after going to
he'd he got up and set several fires in
the house and ell. Witness stated thar
the confession was clear and straight
and that previous to making it the boy
had been advised that what he was
about to say might be used against
him. The hoy was asked if he set fire
to- the barn and he denied it strongly.
William B. Richards was next placed
on the stand and repeated his state
ment that he was guilty of attempting
to burn the house but.nOt of setting
fire to the barn.

"REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK
FARM"
Dramatized Version of Kate Douglas
Virgins Story Will Be Seen in Lew
iston.

"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" as
dramatized by Charlotte Thompson
and Kate Douglas Wiggin from Mrs.
Virgins famous stories of the same
name, bids fair to prove the big dra-
matte surprise of the year. The play
combines many elements of popular
appeal and should be equally interest
ing to young and old.
The scene Of the story, laid in quaint
New England, offers opportunities for
elaborate stage establishment and the
introduction OF many peculiar charac-
ters, but of course the important fig
ure is that of Rebecca, whose fortunes
are followed from childhood to maid
enhood. We are introduced to Re-
becca at the moment when she leaves
behind her the first stage Of her child
hood passed in the barren New Eng
land farm which her budding rO-
manticism has entitled Sunnybrook, to
enter upon larger sphere of life at
lRiverbOrO under the care of two
maiden aunts. Her impetuosity and
daring, her headlong pursuit of i'm
pulse, whether humorous or earnest,
the turbulence and uneXpectedness OF
her fancy in dealing with life within
and about her-in a word all the in
heritance of temperament given her by
brilliant ne'er-d do well of a father
throw her into appalling collisions with
the rigid discipline Of the brick
house" and make her stay there his
tory of amusing catastrophes. But
along with the artistic temperament
bequeathed by her father, she has in
her passionate honesty, radiant
frankness and pure hearted election
Of the straight over the crooked path
that carry her, safely. through. her
calamities and touch the whimsical
little figure, with a ray OF spiritual
beauty.
The character as portrayed by Kate
Douglas Wiggin is one of the most fas-
cinating in fiction, and that Charlotte
Thompson who has collaborated with
Mrs. Wiggin in the dramatic version
has caught the spirit and the mysti-
cism of the story is evidenced by the
wonderful gripping power of the play.
1t is doubtful if there has ever been a
play that combines so many elements
of popular appeal. 1t is in fact a
composite Of THE Old Homestead
Pan" or in other words. a combination
of Little Lord Fauntelroy and Senti-
mental Tommy in an Old Homestead.
The production has been made in the
klaw & Erlanger lavish manner No
expense has been spared in any de-
partment, and the company is one OF
the best ever assembled by this firm
which is famous for the careful cast
ing of its plays. Among the best
known artists of the organization are
Archie Boyd. Sam Colt. Harry c.
Browne Ada Deaves, Ernest Truck,
Mary l.. Day, Eliza Glasford and Violet
