WHOLESALE ARRESTS.

A sensation was created in Winchester
Saturday night when ex-Mayor David
E. Edmondson and six other prominent
people, including three women, of Mid
dletown, Frederick county, were brought
to Winchester and lodged in Jail on the
charge of arson and burglary. Bail was
refused, as the alleged circumstances OF
the crime constitute capital offense.
The arrests were made as the outcome of
fire which occurred in Middletown
early Wednesday when the store of
Glenn & Go. and the residence Of G. f..
Edmondson were destroyed, entailing a
loss of 80, 900. Besides ex-Mayor Ed
mondson, the other prisoners are George
Wiley, his wife, son-Thomas Wiley
two daughters Miss Ella Wiley and
Mrs. Lucy Maltester-and Albert Rhodes.
On Wednesday morning Burglars loot
ed the stores of Larrick and Clam & Co.,
at Mittletown, and then set fire to Glenn S
place. Suspicious circumstances point
ed to the Wiley family as having some
knowle of the affair. A warrant was
sworn out, and when all the stolen goods
were found in their house and the key
with WHICH the stores we're entered was
found in Mrs. .Maltestefs stocking, the
arrest of the entire family followed.
They claimed the goods were left there
~ Albert Rhodes. When the latter was
taken into custody he confessed that he
had robbed tie store and set it on fire.
He also cliimed that month ago when
the undertaking establishment of ex-
Mayor Edmonson and other buildings
we're burned Edmondson had promised
to pay $50 TO set the building on fire.
According to Rhodes, Edmonson had re-
fused to pay him but S., and hence he
preached on him. Edmonson was then
arrested. He claims to haye lost 81 500
in the fire, with only 5000 insurance.
All of the prisoners, including the six
year-old daughter of Mrs. Maltester,
were sent to Jail to await the action OF
the grand jury. A pathetic feature OF
the case is that Constable j. w. Parker,
who made the arrest, is brothe OF Mrs.
Wiley, and was compelled to take his
own sister into custody as well as his
nephew and nieces.
