ACCUSED OF ARSON
What Young Man Claimed He Saw While
Looking Out Of a Window.
Mr.. Vests Counsel States That the
Charge That He Attempted to Fire
Eiseman's Store IL Absurd.

A charge of arson is standing against Mr..
Emil West proprietor of a mems furnishing
store at 49, It'll street he being accused of
attempting to set fire, about $50 o'clock
last evening, to the establishment of Else
man Brothers, southeast corner of 7th and
streets. 1t is claimed that Mr.. West was
seen in the act. He was followed to a house
on Pennsylvania avenue. and there placed
under arrest. In the Police Court this
morning hearing of the case was postponed
until Thursday next.
While looking out of a window of his room
in the May building. at the northeast corner
of 18th and + streets. about o'clock last
evening. Mr.. Fred. Rhodes, who is employed
as a stenographer in the office of the South
ern railway, noticed a man stop at the area
on the E street side of Eisemans, glance
about in suspicious manner, and then drop
something between the railing. The man
passed down the street a few PAGES and
then returned, just as a blaze sprang up
from the area. An alarm OF fire was turned
in by a passer-by, but Mr.. Rhodes hastily
grabbed his hat and followed the man. Of
whom he obtained good look by the IL
Elimination Of the fire, through an alley and
along several streets to a lodging house,
$50 Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.. Rhodes in
formed Policeman Heller of what he had
seen. and the latter called at the house and
accosted the proprietor with:
Il want the man who just went up stairs ~
do you mean Mr.. West?" was the an
swer.
Yes"
Mr.. West was not inclined to leave with
the officer at 1st. He was positively iden-
titled by Mr.. Rhodes as the man who drop
ped the infiammable material INTO the area
at Eiseman's. The prisoner denied the
charge, and later referred ali questioners
to his attorney, Mr.. William A. Cook.
Mr.. West is about thirty-five years of
age. and resides at 203 G street. He was
employed at Auerbaeh's until going into
business for himself about a year ago.
1t Is said that the rela tons existing be-
tween Mr.. West and the Eiseman brothers
are most pleasant and no reason is known
to exist why the former should attempt
to reduce the establishment of the later TO
ashes. Mr.. West was released on $500
bonds
Counsel for Mr.. West stated to Star re-
porter today that the mere idea Of his
client being guilty of such an act as the
one described Is absurd on the face Of 1t.
Mr. West Is a reputable business man, said
the attorney, of excellent standing in the
community, and he has been arrested on
the statement of a young man VINO is GER
tainly laboriEg under mistake. Does 1t
seem likely that Mr.. West would stand
about while Mr.. Rhodes left his room and
descended the stairs, in order that he
might be followed?" was asked. Accord
Eiseman's was made some other individual
Is the guilty party. 1t was also stated that
the case msy never come to trial.
