Cook-'I lit the candles in the oil
cans
Mr.. Williams-"Wh did you do with
the corks from the oil cans?"
Cook-'I suppose that left them
there in the ROOM
Mr.. William then asked Cook to IL
1ustrate how he took out the corks from
the cans and how he arranged the cans
before lighting the candles. Cans
were on,the table in front of the witness
and he said, illustrating his statement:
IT placed the cans on their sides, one
on each side of the bed, which was in
the room. then lit the pieces of can
dies, sticking in the mouth of the can,
the idea being that the candles would
burn up and let the oil out of the cans
at the same time setting fire to it."
Mr.. Williams-"What did you do
them"
Cook-"I went out of the room in
which had placed the cans, closing the
door. I started down to my room, and
on the way met the Waterman. He
questioned me, and after satisfying
him went on down to my room and
locked the door. had my vest off, but
thinking that I had it on I opened the
window and got out on the roof and
jumped to the ground"
Mr. Williams-"How many roofs did
you jump upon?"
"Cook-"Only one, little one. I
caught hold of the edge of the roof
and dropped to the ground. I then
went to where my boy was staying at
1856 Olive street and stayed there all day
until the evening. I wenb to the de-
pot and caught the 5:25 train for
