of the residence of Mr.. Frank W. Royal
of Wilton last Thursday afternoon was
the subject of a sensational trial Satur-

Municipal court, at which Ronellus

Flagg had been living in the buildings
along with Royal, and the latter had
warned him out. He and his companion
had moved away from the house Thurs
day noon, and early in the after DON Mr..
Royals home WAS mass of ashes. The
theory of the government as outlined by
County Attorney Richards was that
Flagg set fire to the house az revenge up.
on Royal for warning him out of it, and
also on account of trouble they haa had
az to Flagg's companion in the house.
The defence introduced no testimony,
but Mr.. Greenleaf argued from some adj
missions made by witnesses for the
prosecution that the fire was undoubted-
ly caused by defective chimney from
which sparks were communicated to Did
waste lying on the attic floor. Judge
Chandler refused to hold Flagg and or
dered his discharge from custody.
