open car and how he could have been
burned alive is a mystery. The prevailing
theory is that he was murdered by trampS
and the elevator fired to cover the crime.
Some credit is also attached to the theory
that the fire was started by robbers who
desired TO piliage the city. Many homes
were entered and robbed while the occu-
pants were at the fire. Eight tramps have
been arrested while making away with sal
