Hollenbeck with arson in connection with two fires. one in restaurant at one time conducted by Mrs. Middle stetter and the other in the Middle stetter home. At the same time charges are likely to be filed connect ing him with the murder of Miss Eliz- abeth Fulhart, whose body was found in the cistern of a vacant house in Jefferson street, Dayton, February 5, and possibly with the murder of an- other young woman in December.
