Who Set Fire 10 the Shoe Factory.

Would it not be proper for he city to offer
a reward for the arrest and conviction of the
person or persons who attempted to burn the
shoe factory Saturday evening? 1t appeared
plainly from the testimony brought out at
Meals examination that the fire was the work
Of an incendiary. The charred lime cask and
the remaining fragments of partially burned
shavings and other combus,ibles. found in the
exact locality of the fire, would seem to point
Enthusiastically to this. But who did the deed !?

The Judge is thrust into one corner, as though

''cornered." Do counsel wish to make note
of the evidence? Then wheel the table into

NAV happen to he present must either be
swept down stair, or into the stove, or re-
treat into the jail. What a nice place into
which to invite a lady witness. The beauti-
fully stained walls, the arched windows emit
ting the light into the room through iron bars,
the pleasant associations recalled by so close
proximity to prison life, the heavy iron door
swinging at the top of the flight Of massive
granite steps, the red hot stove sending the
blood up to fever heat, with no chance for
retreat-all conspire to make this blot upon
the city's fair fame that should be wiped out
