rs Mr. Thayor was sitting in his parlor playing

loud voice to the girl. She had passed up stairs

and that just rs soon M she discovered the fire
she gave the alarm. She WIS. however, accused
Of tho crime and was locked up in Raymond

the house through spite. because she was going
TO be- discharged on Friday.
The defence averred that Fanny Bennett. a
nurse in the family, had an equal opportunity
10 set the house ON fire. and that there was no
more reason why the prisoner should be sus.
pectcd than tho nurse. Mary Meyers testified
that she heard rctrcating footsteps Just before

night the nurse came TO her and advised her
To- run away. and afterwurd abe sent others To
