Cincinnati, Jan. GA general alarm
called the fire departments to the
Grand opera house building, situated
at the northwest corner of Vine and

When the first fire engine arrived at
the scene no blaze could be seen. The
fire was below the stage. The thea
ter at the time the fire was discovered
was crowded to its utmost. 1t is be-
lieved that all of those inside escaped
in safety, although many narrow es-
capes from injury are reported. The
people on the first floor and balcony
got out without much trouble, though
minus many parts of their clothing.
Those in the gallery had more
trouble in reaching the outside, as
there was only one narrow exit from
the gallery to the main hallway. Had
1t not been for the quick arrival of
the ladder truck many would have
been killed. The ladders were hoisted
up to the windows, and many escaped
in that manner.
At the time the fire was discovered

soon assumed serious aspects. The
rear part of the building was soon
ablaze, and the fire spread to the But
Ter building, new six-story structure,
which was separated from the grand
opera house by narrow alley.

CASE Of GEORGE ]. KERR.
The Reasons for Giving Kerr Sep
arate Trial Made Public by
Judge Dixon.
ALSO REASONS FOR PREVIOUS SECRECY.
All About the Jennie BosschietcI
Tragedy, and VIII Claim that He
was Not Present When the Deadly
Drug WINS Administered.

New York, Jan. ga new light has
j. Kerr, indicted as one of the four
murderers of Jennie Bosschicter in
Paterson, n. j.
The reasons for giving Kerr sep
arate trial also have been made pub
lie. Judge Dixon, at the time he
granted Kerr the privilege of being
tried separately, said he would fill, his
reasons later, and he has now made
them known.
Judge Dixon says the object of this
secrecy was to prevent facts from
reaching the jurors in the trial of the
other three men that might possibly
unduly influence their minds.
Kerr Intends TO Tell All.
" now appears that Kerr intends
to tell all about the tragedy on the
night of October ID; that he will claim
that he was not present at the time
the deadly drug was administered to
Jennie Bosschieter. and that he rot
only did not take part In the assault,
but. on the other hand, protested
against it. Kerr expects to prove this
by the confessions of Campbell and
Death.
Prosecutor Emley will insist that
Kerr had a guilty knowledge of all
that took place on that night, aided
and abcttcd in the poisoning.
Reason for Pastponing Trial.
Giving his reasons for the post
poning Of Kcrr's trial, Judge Dixon
said that the statements made by
Death and Campbell to the police lin
plicatcd Kerr in certain ways, but
such statements are not legal evi.
dence of Kerr's guilt, and being in
troduccd on the trial of Campbell,
Death and McAlister they might have
biased the minds of the jurors against
Kerr. He further says that the coun.
sci for Kerr made known TO him thar
they would introduce an entirely diff
terent line of defense for Kerr to
that made by Campbell. Death and
