JUSTICE H0GAN's FIFTH FIRE.

Tho Mystery About the House Is

This WIS the fifth fire in the Justices
house since last Friday afternoon. At

amount of smoke, as in the other cases.
Justice Hogan and his wife went to
the theat.e last night, leaving their
three youngest children asleep in a room
on the second floor.
Policeman Campbell, of the Nineteenth
Precinct, saw smoke issuing from the
windows of the third foor and at once

On Saturday last as a precautionary

the cause Of the fire IN Justice Hogan's
residence. At first he believed the fires
were started by one of the servants,

to the conclusion that II Is one of the

Mr.. Mitchell said that either one Of
the boys or a sister of Justice Hogan,
