Trio Of Youths, Anxious for
Narrowing Scenes at Blaze,
are Committed

William Houch. Elwood johnson and
Robert Houch, boys ranging in age
from to IA years. charged with arson.
in City Court to-day were, on recon-
mendation of Special Agent Frank
Stout of the Society of Prevention of
Cruelty to Children. committed to the
Ferris Industrial School
The boys were accused Of setting fire
to a stable beyond Market street bridge
sometime ago, in which two horses
were burned to death. The boys had
made it up TO set fire to a stack of hay
at the same place last Saturday night
but the hay was wet. The police heard
of this attempt and an investigation
resulted in the arrest of the boys. The
excuse the boys gave for setting fire
to the stable was to see the fire engines
respond.
Benjamin Campbell. also accused of
arson, had his hearing postponed until
tomorrow at the request Of his counsel,
William +. Smalley.
Mr.. Stout, who made an investiga-
ton Of the case. informed the court
that he would make a report in Camp
belrscase when he is arraigned to-
morrow.
Albert Coulter. a small boy. was a
witness against the others. 1t was
on his confession that they were round
ed up. His evidence this morning,
however. was an effort TO shield them
as much as possible. Mr.. Stout, how
ever told the court that the boys had
confessed to him how they had set fire
to the stable and described how the
engines responded and how the horses
acted while being burned.

Y. came to Wilmington yesterday in
search of her husband from whom she
recently received a letter stating that
he was in a Wilmington hospital i'll
with pneumonia. She was accompanied
by a woman friend.
The woman showed the police a letter

not understand all OF It, and it was
n0t until o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the women returned and brought
an Elmira newspaper telling Of the

It seems that the couple lived happily
together until April Is. when they had
a quarrel and the husband left, taking
$500 with him.
The police made inquiries at all the
hospitals here, but could not find a clue
to Mezur. They learned later, how
ever. that he had been in Wilmington
n few days ago and stopped in hotel
