I think Ben is trying to have it both ways. He wants the land, Josie knows
he is in cahouts with Catherine, and he needs an alibi (excuse). What better
way to implicate Catherine in the burning of the Mill and screw up the hold
she (Catherine) would have on him by telling Josie what "Catherine" was
trying to do. 

I think he doesn't want to be Catherine's lover after he gets the land and
this would be a good way to get rid of her. Perhaps he will get Catherine
to go to the Mill that night to rub it in to Josie that she is losing  it
and Leo will kill her in the fire.
