Gypsy Haywood Looses Much of Her
Furniture by Fire. sr

Gypsy Haywood Looses Much OF Her
Furniture by Fire.
A fire occurred yesterday morning
about o'clock in the building on Camp
bell street just east of the old creamery
The building was occupied by Gypsy
Haywood and was owned by John II.
Davis, the colored capitalist.
When the fremen arrived on the
scene the flames were roaring I'D the
narrow space between tho main house
and the kitchen. Water was turned on,
but the flames had made such Roadway
that the house was Quilted before the
fire was Cotton under control.
Some of the furniture was gotten out,
but large quantity of it was destroyed.
1t was insured for Sl,sOO.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
be incendiary. An attempt was made
about four days ago to burn the house.
Some rags saturated with oil and cup
in which oil had been carried were
found near the cooking stove. The fire
was extinguished after hole had been
burned through the floor. The matter
was reported to the mayor, who gave
the police orders to watch the building.
An officer passed it on his beat yester-
day morning, q short time before tho
alarm was sounded, but saw no indica-
ton OF fire, or anyone about the house
on the outside.
The fire was unquestionably started
outside between the two buildings, as
cup which had contained oil was found
just at that point. This cup is unlike
any owned by Gypsy Haywood.
Gypsy was arrested yesterday morn
ing on warrant sworn out by Officer
Bower charging her and two other per-
sons with burning tho building. She
and the other two were released on their
own recognizance by .he police sergeant
shortly after. it appearing that clue
had been secured which would implicate
the real perpetrators of the deed
The case was heard yesterday even
ing before Justice Howerton. A large
number of witnesses were examined,
mostly the inmates of the houses in the
flats and their cooks or servants.
None of them could give any direct
testimony. They had heard of threats
being made to burn tho dwelling. and
knew OF the servant leaving the house
for the two or three nights previous to
keep from being burned up. These fears
originated from the previous attempts to
burn the building.
The defendants were represented by
Messrs. Wright and Hoge and Mr.. Ran
dolph, and tho commonwealth by Mr..
Nortbrop.
The case was dismissed without hear
ing any argument, as the magistrate OBJ
served that the commonwealth had not
made out q case. The police are en-
deavoring to ferret out the mystery.
