He expressed himself as thoroughly
satisfied with everything that had been

ever, which demanded immediate at
tcntion. and that is facilities for fight
ing fire in the vicinity of the COM

our property should be destroyed all
we could do and the most economical
thing we could do would be to divert
our Portland business to Montreal. St.

have done considerable now for Port

cellar and taken possession of by the
police Strother made statement to
the police that about midnight Il boy
brought Mr.. Cooper a note, which he
was requested to answer. The boy went
away and soon after man and two
women entered. When he returned
from the cellar where he had gone to
fix the fires, Strotier says he found
Cooper on the couch unconscious.
Mr.. Cooper was the owner of the bath
house where the assault was commit
ted. He was considered one of the
NealthleSt men in st. Louis.
Strother later told the police that
the two women and a man who had
CO lied to see Mr.. Cooper, came in a car
riage. He said he had admitted them
to the cooling room and had returned
to the basement. He did not know. he
said. when they departed. Strother al

treme as the day progressed. 1t be-
came known that Sfrother was in need
of money. $500 or more. to reclaim his
home from mortgage sale. Strother
meets this with the statement that Mr..
Cooper whom he had known and served
for a long time, had promised to save
his home for him. He declares also
that Mr.. Cooper had promised him that
IN the event of the sale of the bath
house he tStrother) should be taken
care of either by being retained in his
position or by being given another.
On being questioned as to why Mr.
! Cooper should thus make provision for
him, the negro told startling sensa-
tional story of the alleged true charac-
ter of the place of which he had been
the trusted custodian. This story was
corroborated in some degree in q. state
ment from the police that they had
been making secret investigation and
were going to raid and close ND the
place.
Strother stoutly maintains his inno-
cence. but the police are entirely conf
dent that they have the right man in
custody.
