HE BURNED
NORTHWEST BREAKER

Henry Dresser of Simpson, Penni-
less and Apparently Demented,
in Jail on This Charge-Admits
That He Also Set Fire to No.
Breaker of the D. & H., Which was
Burned Saturday-An Fmploye of
Temple Coal Company-His Inco-
herent Story.
The mystery of the burning of the
Northwest breaker at Simpson. which
was laid in ruins on Monday night,
December . last was penetrated yes
terday when Henry Dresser, Al former
employe of the Temple Iron & Coal
company. which owned the Northwest,
was arrested on the charge of setting
ire to the structure.
Dresser is also supposed to have
fired No. / breaker of the Delaware
and Hudson, which was totally de-
stroyed on Saturday night. The loss
on both breakers and equipment is es-
timated at fully 100000, while 500 or
900 men are thrown out of employ
ment. Dressen's own admissions to
several persons connect him with the
firing of the two breakers. He is now
in the county Jail, whittier he was COM
mitted last evening by Alderman
Jones who heard several witnesses
testimony, through all. of which ran
Dressen's admissions that he caused
the fire in both breakers or was pres
ent when the blaze started.
Dresser explained his motive for set
ting fire to the Northwest by declar-
ing that the breaker foreman was no
good and that this WAS the only way
he could be gotten rid of. TO another
witness he said on the night of burn
ing of the breaker, while the flames

Coal company, that he was in the
breaker, on Saturday and. being cold,
built P"great big fire" there which
thawed him out. To The Tribune man
Dresser said he was in the Northwest
breaker at the time OF the fire also
that he was in No. l breaker when the
blaze started and that he had hard
time to escape.

The Accused Seems Dsmented.

Dresser is penniess and at the time
Of his arrest he WAS leading the life
of vagrant He is poorly kept in
clothing and presents an appearance
that calls for sympathy. He is appar-

incoherently and on many subjects he
shows hardly the intelligence of IL
child For example he said that no
one could find out II the breakers We're
burned down unless they We're built
all over again, and then you go
searching to find out where the fire
could start" He called the Temple
Iron & Coal company the "tincture of
iron and coal company" supposing it
was the correct name. In Luzerne

oifense, but here ii was not so bad. II
