Thomas Hart and Cleophas Cote are un-
der arrest here, with tile possibility of
q long term in state prison confronting

On the night of June 20, three cottages
at Massabesic were burned. Two were
owned by DR.. Hart, and the third by

police have been working on the case.
Last Thursday, Hart and the Marshall
woman were here on another charge.
Hart tried to prove that the woman was
his wife, but his real wife, who lives in
Nashua, was brought here to confront
him.
Some months ago Hart ran place at
the lake, and at that time was arrested
on a charge OF Illegally transporting
liquor. He promised to peach" on the
other liquor sellers at the lake, but was
locked up. Then he brought suit against
Chief Healy and Patrolman Proctor for
false imprisonment, but was indicted at
the following term of the grand jury.
The police say that Hart and the Mar
shall woman have confessed TO setting
the buildings afire, and on their evidence
