on the charge of arson and forgeries upon
the firm of Layer & Bruins. One of the
singular features of the is the fact that
Henry Miller, one of the parties arrested, is
a partner in the firm of Layer & Bruins, so

arson is alleged to be thefts that are sup
posed to have been perpetrated by the ar
rested parties.
