VICTIM OF The MALTA
De George Says the Arson Charge
Is Part of a Plot.
Denies All knowledge Of the In
genious Fire Machine.
The Fire Marshal, However, Says
He Has Proof Against Him.

Michael De George, the real estate and
insurance agent, of SO Liberty street,
who is under arrest, charged with at
tempted arson. pleaded not guilty be-
fore Justice Simms in the Essex Market
Police Court this morning. His exam
nation was adjourned until late this
afternoon, to allow him to communi-
cate with his counsel, Assemblyman
William Sulzer.
Fire Marshal Mitchell said to-day that
he hopes to connect De George with
gang of Italian flrebugs which has given
much trouble during the last few years.
The Fire Marshal says he has some
startling facts in his possession which
will certainly lead to the prisoners In
dictment. Working on these facts he
said he had his deputies, Freel and
LEM, shadow De George, and on Satur-
day Mr.. Mitchell's agents were satisfied
that 1t was about time to arrest their
man.
They proceeded to his apartments on
the third floor of the double-decker tene-
ment. at 1876 Avenue A. De George was
out. and Freel and LEM broke open the
door to the apartments and made a dis
covery.

was a lighted candle. which had burned
apparently for an hour. The bottom OF
the candle was connected with a long
wax taper, such as is used in the ordi-
nary household gas-lighters. The taper
ran down the leg of a chair and was
held away from the wood by two pins
stuck in the chair leg. Near the hoor
the taper took a turn and ran horizon
tally for several inches. supported by
two pieces of thread.
The end of the taper was stuck into
rubber overshoe, which. according to
Fire Marshal Mitchell, contained a mix
ture OF alcohol and turpentine. The
rubber shoe was filled to overlooking
with the fluid.

The first version of NJ. Lockroy's re-

1t was pointed out that there was
great need of fresh blood and sweeping
reform.
The big 10000 ton warship Magenta,
recently completed, was pronounced to
be virtually worthless.

says that when the SUBJ Committee in
