Jewels to the Value of S9900
Taken at Kennebunk-
port, Maine
NOT SLIGHTEST CLUE
TO THE ROBBERS
Sleeping Early in the Morning-Sev-
eral Valuable Gold Watches and
Other Articles Left Behind.

KENNEBU IMPORT, Maine, Aug.
IA daring jewelry robbery was
made Saturday at ''Cro- Nest, - the
summer home of Mrs. NJ. H. Forrest,
wealthy widow of Philadelphia. Dia-
monds valued at over $4,000 were OBJ
tanned by the thieves, who left no clew
to their identity. Coming so close upon
the disappearance Of jewels valued at
approximately 100000 from Nara
gansett Pier, the police are of the
opinion that gang of expert crooks
are doing business in New England
shore resorts.
The robbery occurred about 3 clock
Saturday morning, and entrance was
obtained by forcing a cellar bulkhead.
| One Of the servants was awakened by
steps, but as there are numerous guests
at the cottage, nothing was thought of
the matter at the time. Entering the
room where Mrs. Forrest was sleeping,
the intruders ransacked her bureau and
dressing table, and also her writing
desk without disturbing her. Apparent
Is jewelry that did not contain dia-
monds was not wanted, as several valu-
able gold watches and other articles
were left behind The robbery was not
urday morning, and the Kennebunkport
police are completely baffied.
- am completely unnerved by this af-
fair, said Mrs. Forrest Saturday night
:. The jewelrv taken consisted of neck
llaces, rings, bracelets, diamond pins,
idiamond-studded watches and other
smaller articles. / valued them well
up to $4,000 = Asked if she had any
suspicious as to the thieves, she re-
piled: Not the slightest. / suspect no
one The first ] knew of the robbery
was when | opened my bureau drawer
Saturday morning and found the jewel
case gone. The thieves did not create
the slightest disturbance in my room and
was not awakened She was asked
if she had taken steps to recover her
gems, and stated: Eyes, / have done
several things. But ! would rather
not talk any longer. l dislike very
much TO have my name in the papers.

NO ACTION TAKEN
IN THE WREN CASE
Attorney Madden Claims Discovery of
New Evidence and Is Conf
dent of Another Trial
Especial to The Reformer,)
KEENE, n. a., August 4.

/.
Up to the present 8ime nothing has
been done toward hearing Of the
Judges, Chamberln and Pike, on the
motion of Attorneys Madden and
fickard relative to setting aside the
Wren verdict.
The judges were undoubtedly busy
during the month Of July, and during
the present month many Of the Judges
are enjoying vacation and Of course
nothing will be done during August 1t
IS expected that before the middle Of
September Judges Chamberlain and
Pike viii come to Keene, and Wren 's
attorneys will enter arguments for a
new trial ,and ask the judges to set
aside the present verdict.
At the time Wren was found guilty
of murder in the first degree, on the
night of July |, when the jury after only
about four hours of deliberation
brought in the verdict, Attorney Mad
den asked for stay of the sentence
of life Imprisonment at Concord, until
they could fleta motion to set aside
the verdict. The motion was filed
inside Of 10 days, which was the al
lotted time, but as yet nothing has
been done in the matter.
If the judges 40 not set aside tlle
verdict the case will be taken up tc
the supreme court on the exceptions
Attorney Madden claims that new
evidence in the case has been dis
covered, and this is probably one Of
the reasons why he is confident that
his client viii receive new trial. l.
case a new trial should be granted il
Will probably be heard at the Oetobel
term of superior court.
