A TERRIBLE CRIME.
Startling Revelations in Regard TO the
Philadelphia Aims House Fire
One OF the Inmates COnfesses
Having Started the
Flames.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa Feb 10.
| The corOner's inquest this afternoon Ovel
the 20 victims of the recent fire at Blackle,
almshouse resulted in sensational develop
ments by the confession of Joseph Nadine 8
Young negro, that he had set fire to the build
ing, and that he was instigated to the act by
Peter j. Schroeder, one of the chief attend
ants. Nadine. who is about twenty three
years old, was committed to the institution
as an imbecile, but it is sain by the physi.
clans OF the institution that he was morally
responsible and was frequently permitted to
| go home unattended.
As result of Madness confession, Schroe-
der was arrested and committed by the coro.
ner to await further developments OF the in
quest. Nadine said that Schroeder had
given him match on the night of the calam.
ity and told him to set the place % fire. Ma.
dine then went to the driving room and light
ing the match, applied /, to some rubbish on
the floor. He then called Schroeder and the
, two, o,wlth the assistance of an attendant named
Mullen, endeavored to get the patients out,
but before they had succeeded in getting all
saefiy from the place, the fire had gained
such headway that they were obliged to leave
the building themselves Nadine SAYS that
when Schroeder gave him the match to set
fire to the building he was tired of the place
and was going to leave and that he disliked
DIR. Richardson because he had refused to
give him railroad pass.
Nadine intlmates that attendant Mullen
also knew of his having set fire to the build
ing, but thinks he did not know of it until
the next dav.
Mullen was not placed in custody, but will
be detained as witness against Schroeder.
In his further testimony Nadine saws that he
twice before set fire to the bnilding. but both
times the flames were discovered and extin-
guished before thev had gained any headwav.
He saws that on both occasions he afterwards
told Schroeder of his acts, but the latter
assured him he would not report him to the
authorities of the institution.
Nadine, in giving his story was at times
nervous and apparently greatly frightened,
but upon being assured that 10 harm would
oe done him he would become calm and col
lected. Ii the truthfulness of his story can
be verified, it completely annihilates many
important details of the testimony given by
Schroeder and Mullen, whose appearance
seems to indicate they had rehearsed their
story together. Nadine told of many cruel
ties inflicted upon the patients BY Schroeder
when the latter was in violent temper. Schroe-
der, otter arrest. admitted that he had in
tended leaving the institution, but denied the
truth of Madness story.

port that Francis Lynde Stetson haa oeen
