Reimer and Alton were very active These facts were
the only evidence that could be elected by n
diligent search on the part of Fire Marshal Black
burn ana this the District Attorney said was only
a strong case of suspicion, not one upon which
jury could safely convict And finding the evidence
of the commonwealth deficient he submitted the
bill without evidence TO the jury, who rendered a
verdict OF not guilty OF arson.
This has caused considerable excitement in FRANK
two being the first incendiary fires that
have occurred in that community for long time
The suspicion that rested upon these was-AIton
was extremely anxious to join the fire company and
his only difficulty was his youth; and Reimer mem
ber, wished very much To have Alton elected "A mem
Der. Being influenced by liquor on that night they |
might have caused these fires in order that Alton |
might have an opportunity of showing that, though
he young he would make excellent fireman;
and the part he took each occasion went to |
strengthen this suspicion.
His Honor Judge Ludlow, i'll order to secure the !
from any dangerous pranks from these
ordered each Of them enter security in $1,000
keep the peace and be of good behavior for year
