No.l102 Hull Street.
If there is anything in crcumstantial
and cumulative evidence, the suspicious
of the police, who believe Moses Gross
man, of No. 1915 Hull Street, guilty of
attempted incendiarsm and possible
arson. are apparently We'll grounded in
fact. Il
The retail. erotkery establishment
operated by Grossman, on Hull Street,
was found to be on fire at 2:40 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The first alarm
WAS communicated by Policeman r.
Jones to Police Sergeant Wright, who
Immediately telephoned in to the fire
department.. while Jones aroused the
neighborhood with his calls. BY this
means both the police and the fremen
were quickly on the scene of action.
otherwise It is probable that confla-
gration would have ensued, the Gross

time. and under such conditions Us
would indicate that they We're kin

were located ON the business. or ground

Continuing, Mr. Baughan states tina.
being Informed OF the arrival of The
department, he was attempting to leave
the building, when he saw the nost
of a hose pointed in his direction, ant
he called out 10 the flremen TO b,

In the next moment Mr. Baugha,
was hit by a bold, coiu stream, which
nearly lifted him from his feet, an,
sent him reeing backward into II
