She saw men leave the place and in q
few minutes the fire burst out Mt tho
windows and surged up the s!airways to
the upper floors, which were packed
with Italians. This was enough to start
the police on an investigation, which re-.
suited in the arrest Of Able Berger, Ja.
cob Smith, Julius Smith, Morris Reubens
and Benjamin Savage. Berger and
Smith are boys, and they are charged
with lighting tho fire. The others are
charged with being accessories before
and after the fact.
Julius Smith was the proprietor OF the
store, Jacob is his son and Savage is a
brotherin.law Of Julius and was in part
nership with him. Berger, who is a
nephew Of Smith, was also their clerk.
Reubens is butcher who had a mort.
gage Of $500 on the stock. The evidence
against the accused is purely circum-
stantial, but the police had no difficulty
in getting warrants for their arrest when
the evidence was laid before tho court.
They refuse to make public all the facts
which led to the arrest OF the prisoners,
but these facts are known. A few days
before the fire large quantity OF cloth
ing was taken into the store, and Smith
told Detective johnson that the stock
had come from the clearing shop,
UNLOADING THEIR STOCK.
At II; 80 o'clock at night one Saturday
in February team was driven up to
the store and three or four persons were
seen within. The team was loaded with
coats, vests, trousers and shirts and was
driven of. a few minutes later the
quarreling was heard and then the fire
was seen. The police assert that these
goods were planted solely for the purpose
Of securing the insurance, and were re-
moved as soon as arrangements ior the
tire were completed.
After the fire was extinguished but
little damage was done in the clothing
store. The fremen and insurance
agents were unable to find any trace OF
the big stock Of clothing which had been
there on the preceding day. The police
believe they have caught the men who
have been instrumental iu starting the
other fires OF a similar nature in this city,
but fortunately they were not attended
with loss OF life.
