pany presented the world famous

mild sense. Mr.. ODER plays the part
of rip" excellently and every one
who is acquainted with the story
will agree that role is a difficult one
to portray.
An excellent cast supports Nh.
ODER. Mrs. Adelaide Ober, as "Gret-
|chen," was matronly and natural
and scored a decided hit. The parts
of Little Heinrich Vedder," as talk
en- by Buster Henley, and "Meenie,"
Rips little daughter as portrayed by
Tiney Henley, are played to perfec-
ton by the youthful performers;
Derrick Won Beekman,' as played
by r. G. Carvel, won special honors,
as did Kenneth Hopper as Cookies"
seth Schmidt" the landlord OF
The inn, kept the crowd in good
humor, and Paul s. Bell excelled In
this role. Louis Dildene made a
favorable impression with the audi
ence with his acting of big Helm
rich Vedder." Miss V. B. Doyle was
pleasing as "Meenine Van Wrinkle"
Special scenery and electrical eff
fects bring reality to the play.
Beginning Monday an entire new
stock company will open its engage
ment and will present two plays
each week. "The Marriage of Liz
BETH will be the offering for the
first part of the week.

RIFENBERG HAS
LEARNED FACTS
Letter from Counsel Son
Did Confess Murder.

George A. Rifenberg, of 104 Broad
street, has received word from Nebras-
ka to the effect that his son, Walter,
confessed to robbing and numbering a
man in that state and was sentenced to
serve not more than twenty five years
in the penitentiary. He received a let
ter from J.. A. Douglas, counsel for
Walter Rifenberg, stating that the lat
ter pleaded guilty to the crime on April
3.
Letter From Counsel.
The letter is as follows.
April II, 1911.
Mr.. George A. Rifenberg,
Perth Amboy, n. J.
Dear SIR
Your letter received.
Yes, your son finally confessed his
guilt, and on the 3rd of this month IN
der a stipulation with the prosecution
that his sentence should not exceed 25
years, he entered a plea of guilty to
murder in the second degree.
I had prepared the necessary papers
showing for a change in venue, and
would have gotten 1t, and the case
would have gone to the county west or
to this county.
Your son had always claimed to me
that he was not guilty, and yet as l
have told you there were circumstances
which pointed pretty strongly to him,
and it was apparent that the state was
going to be able to make a stronger
case at the next trial than th,. had at
the first, and after L went through the
thoroughly with Walter he de-
cided that he would plead guilty. He
still insisted that he was not guilty,
and l said to him that 1 would not
consent to his entering a plea of guilty
unless he made a complete and full
statement of all facts. 1 have done a
great amount of work for him in this
case, and 1 felt that it was only justice
to me and to the citizens of this part
of the state that the truth should be
known if he was going to plead guilty,
and he then made a confession.
In part his statement was that he
undertook to hold up this man in the
alley that night, and that the man was
trying to resist him, and he was shot.
Under the statute of this state if Wal
ter's conduct is good in the peniten-
tiary, he will get off with about seven
teen years and a half. He went to the
pe~nitentiary on April 8. He was in a
cheerful frame of mind and well sat
Very truly yours,
T.. A1OUGLAS.
