Attempt to Burn a House
on Richmond Street.
The Entry and Stairway We're
Saturated With Oil.
They Formed Only Means of Escape
fnr the Seventeen Occupants.

For q month or more attempts have
different parts of the city, but fortunately
the miscreants did not succeed in their
work. The most heartless and diabolical
case that has come to the attention OF the
officials is the one discovered by little
Nellie Monahan, at 1870 Richmond street,
at 5 O'Clock this morning.
The building Is that at the corner of
Richmond and Clifford streets, the lower
floor of which is occupied by B. w..Peck
q Sons as a paint shop, and the other two
floors by Herbert Knowles, who runs
the place as lodging house. There
were IN the IL different rooms last night
II persons, including four children.
At o'clock this morning the Monahan
child, who, with her father and mother,
made their home with the Knowles fam
lily, was sent to nearby bake shop for
loaf of bread.
When. she resched the foot OF the second
fight of narrow stairs which lead into
small entry, she found one-balf pint
besr bottle partially flied with kerosene.
The little one, on returning to the house,
told the Knowles what she had seen in
the entry.
An investigation was made, aud 1t was
found that oil had been poured over the
stairs of the first flight and that the floor
of the entry had been saturted. A lot
of paper and burned matches were also
found. These stairs gave the only
exit to the persons In the house
and had the wreton succeeded In his oe-
signs, come, II not all, of the inmates
would have lost their lives. The ground
floor was covered with paints and
painters materials, and only thin board
partition separated the entry from the
paint shop, which would have added to
the fame. The only clue to the fend is
that welI-dressed young man without a
hat made an attempt to get into rear
door of the Richmond street fire station
at 2:30 this morning, and was driven
away by fireman Everett Il. Potter, who
has given Fire Marshal winsor good
description OF him. Mr.. winsor, the
chief and deputy-chief are at work on
The case.
