ARREST OF THE JAN1ToR.
Lawrence johnson, the tanitor, was arrrstaa
shortly before midnight by officers from the t;ot
tags Grove ;5sa Avenae Sttation, who had been
is young man OF about Il x year ns
ana Is student at the. Chicago University. il
for the downright proof which Is at hand. taa
police might be easily induced to believe hs
story. He claims he was asleep in bed when la
mo ther smelt smoke in the hallway and shortlr
afterwards gave the alarm Of Itre. He Jumped
out Of bed aud ran to snye whatever he could
lay hands upon and bis sisters and mo,her made
their way ont Of the burning structure as oess
they could. Only small portion OF their eoods
was saved. This Is substantially the story
which Johnson tells the police, and be stck3
TO 1t, despite their assertions to tha
contrary. Officer Jacob Eb!nger wus In the In
mediute vicinity of rhe church when the nre wa
discovered. And be received information from
seyernl PARTIES thar young n,an in his shirt
sleeves, had been seen to leave the church
By q rear door, run across the u
ley. and jump over = fence into
the tnau runnlns through the alley, but Ut tie
time thought nothing or il. The family OF Dep
stacy. living just south Ut thecnuEca,
and Il man named Crowley, employed IN
Dnft's livery, and who lodges in a barn
near the church, saw the aame man, and they
positively tdentfed him as Lawrence johnson,
the ianiror OF the church. The e.ideace against
a.m thus appears to be Of the must damaging
lature.
