shall Mitchell and Detectives Smith and

main hall. Fire Marshal Mitchell Is Of
the opinion that IA tramp might have
gone Into the room to sleep. and in
leaving, carelessly thrown a lighted
match Into the infammable rubbish.
ID t%ectives Smith and Mooney incline
towards the theory that the building was
set on fire m~aliciously.

kept by Ellen McGinn. Four persons
were arrested at the time. They were
Ellen McGinn, Minnie Lanahan, James
