COLS0N HELD FOR ARSON.
Given n Hearing by Recorder and
Remanded to superior Court.

Given a Hearing by Recorder and
Remanded to Superior Court.
B. F. Colson. the proprietor of the
recently burned Kentucky restaurant
who was arrested Monday, charged with
arson, was given a hearing yesterday by
Recorder Myrick and remanded to the Su-
perior Court.
The ere in the restaurant occurred early
Sunday morning. The fire department
reached the burning building In very
quick time after the alarm was sounded,
and before the fire had destroyed the
evidences that 1t was of incendiary orr
gin, for when the men entered the build
ing the smell of kerosene was still strong,
and an examination of the premises after
the flames had been extinguished. dis
closed the fact that not only were the
walls impregnated with the oil, but also
the table linen was soaked, and that
everything in connection with the fire
locked like il had been deliberately
plat ned.
So suspicious were the circumstances
that the city detectives were detailed on
the case, and in a short while had secured
such damning evidence against Colson
that he was arrested and held until yes
terday's examination.
Colson, through his attorney, Mr.. I. l..
HILL, denied the charge against him and
sought to prove by several witnesses that
his movements on Saturday night and
early Sunday morning would preclude
any suspicion against him as having start
ed the FIRE. He said that he had closed
the restaurant about 11:30 O'Clock Satur-
day night and knew nothing further of
the place or the fire until he had visited
II about o'clock the following morning.
He introduced as Witnesses on his be-
half daughter of his wife's, who testi-
ned that Colson had come home some
where about II o'clock and had taken her
place watching at the bedside of her sick
mother. Officer Tullis testified that Sat-
urday night he had occasion to cali Col
son so that he might close a gate to an
other place of his at Montgomery street
and Broughton lane. This was about 1850
o'clock. Colson promised 40 fasten the
gate, and Tullis continued the remainder
of his beat but passing the place again
at about 80 O'clock found the gate still
open and again reported the matter 20
Colson, who on both occasions he found
at home.
II. H. Hart and John Flanagan, colored
BARRIERS, testified that they had seen Col
son in the restaurant at 1880 o'clock, and
the same statement was made by another
negro, e. Cobb, who was with Flanagan
and Hart at the time Detective Stark
also stated to the court that ne had evil
dence to show that on Saturday Colson
had bought a quantity of kerosene, about
two gallons. This Colson, through his at
torney, admitted, but offered no reason
for the purchase, which itself is consid-
cred by the detectives to be a most sus-
p:cious circumstance, especially as kero-
IL r1@ IA f.,@
either for cooking or lighting purposes
The restaurant, though really the prop
erty of Colson's wife, was insured in Col
sons name for 500.

STATE REGISTERED A KICK.
Says That Chatham County Is Cost
ing II Needless Outlay.

The Prison Commission has addressed
a letter to the County Commissioners, in
which it is charged that Chatham county
is costing the state needless outlay. The
letter was addressed to Chairman Dale,
and was sent with letter to Judge Fall
ligsnt, who turned the letter over yes
terday morning to the sheriff in his re-
port.
1t is charged that Chatham is the only
county in the state that does not furnish
the Prison Commission with a full de-
scription of prisoners ready to be trans
ported to the various convict camps. Ere
quently it happens that frail convicts
from this county are sent to some camp
where heavy work is required. This ne
cessftates the removal of the prisoner to
some other camp. at an expense to the
state. The sheriff will probably use his
efforts to comply with the request of the
commission as outlined in the letter to the
County Commissioners.
The letter from the Prison Commits
sioners says
1T would save this office much incon-
venience and the state and contractors
some money, ii your court officers would
notify this office whenever they forward
copy of sentences of prisoners convicted
and intended for the penitentiary, of the
age, sex, color, weight, hight and general
physical condition of each prisoner Also
promptly inform us of any request, or de-
mand, for stay of judgment, or superss-
IDEAS.
I'm the first instance, it would enable
this office to know where to. assign pris-
oners. You may know that all women,
boys under is years of age, old, infirm
and disabled men have to be sent to the
state farm. Yet it has frequently occur
red that some such have been sent to
the various camps, and afterwards the
state had to transfer them to the farm at
much extra expense. Again we have sent
for and received men who had superse-
deas granted and we would have to re-
turn them to the county at the states
expense.
Now this would all be avoided il the
clerk, or sheriff, would furnish us witt
the desired information. Will your board
see that 1t is done? If not, then We will
be forced to allow prisoners to remain IN
your jail until we can ascertain their con-
ditton, thus entailing needless expense on
your county. We have had so much COM
plant about the prisoners sent from Cha
ham county of late. that we are forced
to make this, 1t seems to us, reasonable
trust your will look at this
In the same friendly spirit it is suggested
Every county in the state furnishes this
information but Chatham"
