business, but one day the building he
occupied with several others. which
proved to be one of the largest fires
ever in Whiting, burned to the ground
AS he did not own the building the loss
of his personal property did not amount
to a great deal and this was we'll COW

Whiting. Ind. July 19.-(Special)-
The strange story of William McCarty,
who voluntarily returned to the Indi
ana state pentitentiary at Michigan
City from the Pacific coast, because his
conscience troubled him and because
of his conversion by the Salvation
army, brings to mind the case of r.
Smutze. formerly of Whiting, which
is almost an exact parallel to the case
which is now puzzling the prison at
taches.
r. Smutze was a resident of this
city about seven years ago, and was
engaged in the manufacture of cigars

fire was of incendiary origin they set
tied with the man without any rigid
investigation. After receiving the
Smutze left town and nothing was
heard of him until three years ago
when he walked into Davidson broth
res real estate office.
Tells His story.
He told of being out west and attend
ing Salvation army meeting, and like
McCarty, the strange emotional songs
and impassioned preaching took hold
and he. too, joined the army. After
joining the army his conscience began
to trouble him and he had come back
for the purpose of receiving his just
dues for the crime he had committed
while in this city.
The Davidson brothers were dumb
founded at his strange conversation,
during the course of which he con-
fessed to having started the fire in
which his store was burned. for the
soIep urpose of collecting the insur-
ance He also confessed to breaking
one Of the stained glass windows in
the front of the Congregational church,
the perpetrator of which had never
been discovered.
Broke Church Window.
He told of committing this offense
for spite work because some of the
members of the church were agitating
against a saloon which was being
started opposite the house of worship.
i the license was refused he was in
danger OF losing a cigar customer He
insisted that he had come back to re-
ceive the punishment he deserved.
He remained in Whiting for several
days awaiting his punishment but there
was no one who wished to prosecute
him in the face of these conditions,
so he paid for the window he had
broken but which had long since been
repaired.
He said he had property in the west
the valuation of which was about $500
If no one wished to prosecute him he
was willing to sell the property and
give the money to the insurance com
pany to assist them in the reimburse
ment of the loss.
After making promise to this eff
feet he left Whiting for his home in
the west, and although all who had
heard his story thought he was speak
ing in good faith it seemed almost
beyond them to believe they would hear
from him again.
Caused a Sensation.
The matter was talked of much with
in the next few weeks, but the sur
prise was great when in about six
weeks the check for $500 arrived
The case like that of McCarty seem
ed to be without precedent and a reply
was promptly sent to the convert
thanking him for the money and also
praising him for his sincerity in his
/ new found religion.
