FlREBUG UNDER ARREST,
Fred Brasseur Confesses to Setting Six
Fires in Haverhill.

Haverhill June 21.-The police have
in custody a firebug in the person of
Fred BraSSeur, an unmarried man,
aged about 80 years, who admits hav-
ing set six fires which have occurred
in this city since the first of the year,
creating loss estimated at $26, 406.35.
Friday night, an incendiary fire oc-
CURED in a shed in the rear of the
Thayer. Mcguire & Field factory at
1910. Rrasseur was present and was
prominent in directing the firemen in
their work of subduing the flames. 9th
er circumstances led City Marshal Nc
Laughlin. Saturday afternoon, to swear
out warrant charging Brasseur with
arson, and Patrolman Hussey arrested
him while he was driving a street
sprinklng cart on Washington street.
Brasseur was taken to police head
quarters, and Deputy Fire Marshal Ca
sey, who has been working on the va.
rious cases with the city marshal, sub
jected the prisoner to rigid examina-
ton. Finally he admitted that he set
the fire. Friday night, because he want
ed to see the excitement following the
ringing of the alarm. Further queries
elected the information from the priS-
oner that he also set a fire in a naph-
that shed in the rear of the Chesley &
Rugg factory on the night of March 27.
The prisoner then denied that he was
in any way connected with the other
incendiary fires, but the examination
was further conducted and the prisoner
then broke down and confessed that he
had set six fires in all in order that he
might See the engines 90
The first fire set was at the Taylor
Goodwin lumber plant, Jan. q, and the
second fire was set at the same place
Feb. 81. The third fire was set in the
old National House in the rear of Tan
ner'S bakery, now used as a carriage
storehouse, and, March Is, a fire was
set in Warren Potter's contracting es-
tablishment in the rear of Fleet street.
On March q, an incendiary fire was set
in naphtha shed in the rear of the
Clesley & Rugg factory on Washing
ton street in the shoe district, and, Fri
day night, the other fire was started
by the prisoner according to his con-
fession.
The police do not connect Brasseur
with the Manchester, N. H., incendi-
aries, but believe that the letters sent
to the local paper and authorities and
the Manchester Union and the police
in that city were written by some ire
sponsible party not connected with the
fires in both cities. The fires of last
Saturday night and Sunday morning
are denied by the prisoner.

THE PICKET A WINNER.
Takes the American Derby, With Big
Purse and Lowering Record.

Chicago, June 21-The Picket, a
horse that never before flashed first
past the post, won the American, Derby.
Saturday. He set the pace every step of
the distance, was never challenged, and
won in a gallop by six lengths. He ran
the Derby distance, 1 " miles, faster
than it was ever run before in the race.
His time was 2.33.
Claude, the winner of three Derbies,
was second. and Bernays, the Cincin-
natl candidate, was third.
1t was a race without the thrill of an
exciting finish. The crowd of 70,uuo
people which witnessed it saw that it
was decided when the field turned into
the stretch.
Nineteen horses went to the post, the
largest previous field being Is. The race
was worth $32,275 gross value, the rich
est in the history of the race, with one
exception. Betting on the result began
i'm March and continued until the horses
went to the post. More money, it is
asserted, was wagered on the Derby
than on any other race ever run in
America.
Savable, the favorite son of Salvador,
thought by John A. Drake to his in
vincible failed to live up to his reputa-
ton. He received a ride from Jockey
Lester Reiff that seemingly novice
could have duplicated.
The horses came to the post at 4, and
Starter Dwyer delayed them nine min
utes before he dropped the floG. Sinner
Simon. a dark horse" was the first to
get in motion, but The Picket had the
lead in comparatively few strides.
Past the stand Au Revoir, the hope
of Memphis was running second, with
Gilfain. Maxey Blnmenthal and other
inconspicuous candidates in the next
position.
When the field struck the back
stretch Savable was in seventh place
and in front of him were The Picket,
Au Revoir, Linguist, Bonnie Burr. Gold
Roll and Bad News. Immediately be-
hind Savable was Claude.
There was not an important move by
a jockey until the field had passed the
balf-mile pole and struck the big bend.
The Picket running at his own CLIP,
never ,faltered. Au Revoir began to
weaken. Linguist was all through and
began to drop back. Claude made his
move and quickly advanced to fourth
olace. Savable at this critical place
only held his own.
There were no electrifying struggles.
The Picket had his field beaten badly.
He was simply running as he pleased,
and Jockey Helgerson eased him up a
hit as he neared the wire.
The Picket is a black colt by Falsetto-
vcllario. He was bred by his owners,
Middleton & Jungbluth, at Louisville,
Ky. He carried the light burden of lis
pounds. Neither of his owners saw
him win. Karl Jungbluth is in Asia
and John Middleton heard the report of
the race at Louisville.
The Picket opened at 6 to 1 and adj
vanced to 10 to 1 before post time.
Claude advanced from to to l. Ber-
nays remained stationary at to l,
Fore and Aft, the Tennessee horse, was
perhaps the best played of any in the
field. -.
The largest bet won was by Joe Yea
qer. whe had ticket calling for $4,000
to $500. He made the bet three months
ago.
