NEW YORK HAS SIX
INCENDIARY FIRES
Intense Excitement Prevails and Hun
dreds of Lives Endangerd-Woman
Falls From Fire Escape.

New York, November 22.-Six incendiary
fires caused intense excitement in the
vicinity of Twenty-fourth street and
Eighth avenue early today. One woman
was so severely injured that she may die,
hundreds of lives were endangered and
thousands fled to the streets in fear. The
financial loss is comparatively small.
The determination of the flrebug to
make complete work is illustrated by the
conditions Of 235 West Eighteenth street
This is an apartment house occupied by
twenty-four families. When one of the
tenants was aroused by the odor of burn
ing material the corridors were filled with
sitting smoke. The gas had been turned
off at the meter in the cellar, and the
frantic tenants were forced to feel their
way through inky dark rooms and hall
ways.
When the fremen reached the house
the fire escapes were crowded with half
dressed men, women and children. So
closely were they packed the plat
forms that it was impossible for any of
them to make their way down the iron
ladders. All of them were taken down by
fremen.
1t was here that the woman, Mrs. Car
nemi Arnold, was injured. She fell while
trying to climb over the fire escape rail-
ing and was terribly hurt.

YESTERDAY WAS HOO-DOO
FOR MANY OCEAN VESSELS
Big CROWDS HEAR
GILLETTE TRIAL
GREAT INTEREST IN THE STORY
OF LOVE AND MURDER-THE
DEFENSE LIKELY TO BE SUI
eide.

Herkimer. \. y, November 22.-There
was another great crowd of women and
men waiting this morning for the doors
of the old fashioned Herkimer county
court house to open for the continuance
of the story of the love of Grace Brown
of Cortland for Chester Gillette of the
death of the girl, and lastly the trial Of
Gillette for her alleged murder.
When the court session closed after dark
last night the chain of evidence pre-
sented by the prosecution had reached the
point of the story where Gillette was at
Arrow Head ON Fourth Lake after his
fateful boat ride with his one time sweet
heart on Big Moose Lake.
Exactly what the defense will be has
not yet been disclosed. Those who have
been following the trial closely incline 10
the suicide theory, and it is said Gill
lette's counsel have score of witnesses.
They maintain absolute secrecy on the
subject.
When court convened Gillette walked
briskly to. his seat beside his counsel lie
carried a note book and pencil with him,
and while the first witness was testifying
made several notes The witness was Il
Gillette went the night Grace Brown dis
appeared. He gave little new information.
Witnesses testified during the morning
that Gillette went from Fourth Lake to
Seventh Lake inquiring of various per-
sons as to the whereabouts Of the two
young women of Cortland, whom he had
met on the train while travelling with
Grace Brown to the mountains, and whom
he had promised to join on tho following
Thursday. The defendant failed to locate
the camp where the young folks were
stopping.
The most important testimony of the
morning was that Of Rev. Cuthbert Frost
of Louisville, who at Arrow Head on Fri
day overheard Gillette ask two young men
if they had heard of a tragedy on Big
Moose, in which girl had been drowned.
The witness did not hear the answer the
men gave.
