Mrs. Richley was, perhaps, wha,
might be considered one of the
'smoothest characters that has been
larraigned in police court for several
years. From 8 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon until nearly 12 O'Clock mid
night, she fought the FIRE marshall
land police officers on every point OF
'evidence that they attempted to
Iclinch. In the midst of the arraign-
ment, Chief of Police Trautman
from Bucyrus, happened in and i'm
'mediately recognized Mrs. Richley
lie claimed that she set house on
fire when she resided In Bucyrus and
was also guilty of burning house
in Redwood. Mrs. Richley flatly
denied the statements of the Buoy
rus chief of police. In fact she de-
MED everything that would in any
way indicate that she was guilty.
Mayor Scherff set the time of the
preliminary hearing for Monday af-
ternoon at o'clock. The trial prom

INCENDIARY
Mrs. Minerva Richley Ar

she DENIES EVERYTHING
Bucyrus Officer Says She is
a Firebug.
Hearing will be Held Monday and
Prosecution Will be Conducted by
State Fire Marshal.

BY effecting the arrest of Mrs.
Minerva Richley, the police believe
that they have landed one OF the
most notorious fire bugs that has
ever worked in this section of the
state. The woman was arrested at
her home on Silver street by Officer
Jack MoDonough, Wednesday after
noon at 3 o'clock. The police and
fire chief have worked up a strong
chain Of evidence which indicates
that the woman is responsible for the
numerous conflagrations that have
occurred in West Marion in the past
several weeks.
The woman was arrested on an az
fidavit filed by Charles w. Chew, as
sistant state fire marshall from
Mansfield. The charge preferred was
setting fire to property with wllful
intention of defrauding insurance
companies.
! Saturday evening, May %, fire
of very mysterious origin, broke out
in house on Silver street, the prop
erty OF Mrs. Richley. The woman
had purchased the property from a
local real estate firm for the sum Of
$3.50. She had then secured an In
surance policy through the agency OF
Jones and Wilson for the sum OF $500.
Later she secured another fire poll
icy through the agency OF George Nc
lKinlev for the sum OF $500 Neither
Insurance agency knew that the 9TH
er carried a policy on the property
consequently the supposed fire bug
had total OF 5000 on $3.50 prop
erty.
An anonymous letter received by
an italian, Frank Gallant, which
threatened that unless he left town
Immediately, his home would be
burned over his head, set the ball
rolling. The fire chief learned that
Mrs. Richey had given a mortgage
on her property and by going to the
county recorders office, he secured
her signature. He then compared the
writing in the anonymous letter with
the signature and found an unmistak.
able similarity.
Other letters which she had written
to herself in order to ward off sus'
picion were compared with the sigma
ture and 1t was clear that all were
the same identical hand writing

'lof the evidence, he Immediately
