Charles Grihiin's large pail and butter
tub factory on upper Washington street.

while the finished stock represented S1o.-
ono. The firemen succeeded in saving
slaves and lumber stock valued at 5000.
and tn keeping the flames from adjoining
buildings. Mr.. Griffin carried no insur-
ance and there is great anxiety among
the 70 to 100 employees, who fear he may
not rebuild.
The fire started I'm the fuel. and the
officers believed at once that # was of
incendiary origin. Early Sunday morn
ing Officers Sweeney and Wright ar
rested George T. Hopkins 30. at his
boarding place. He at first denied all
knowledge Of the origin of the fire but
later made a full confession He could
assign no reason for the act except that
he had been drinking. He is 80 years
old, a native of Nova Scotia. and he
came to Keene seven years ago. He was
employed by Mr. Griffin several years,
but last spring was discharged for drink
ing He was recently taken back but
left of his own accord Wednesday to go
on a farm
His story is that he went to the factory
on his way home. and that he sat in the
engine room talking with Night Watch
man Loven. of whom he borrowed
matches. saying he wished to smoke.
When Lowell started to make his round
in the factory Hopkins entered the turn
ing room and lighted the fire in A. pile
of shavngs. He then left the building
in a roundabout way. but came back TO
the factory with the crowd to see the
fire. Recent attempts were made ia
burn the Holbrook companys large ware
house and Dunn & Salisburys furniture
factory. but Hopkins says he had moth
ing to do with starting other fires.
