ROCKVILLE. Nd, April I, 1911
Upon being convicted in the circuit court
here this afternoon on an indictment
charging him with burning the Summit
Heights Hotel. formerly Fairview Semi
nary, at Gaithersburg. this county. the
young resident of Gaithersburg, was sem
fenced to ten years in the Maryland peni
tertiary by Judges Motter and Peter, be-
fore whom the case was tried.
The building belonged to John B. Dia-
mond and Ignatius T. Fulks of Gathers
burg. It was furnished throughout, al
though unoccupied at the time Of the
fire. The total loss was placed at about
$4,000, one-half Of which was covered by
insurance.
Immediately after the fire Elgar l..
of the insurance companies, began an in
vestigatfon. After working on the case
a week or more he decided that he had
unearthed sufficient evidence to justify an
arrest. so he wired State Fire Marshal
Thomas J. Ewell to meet him at Gathers
burg. Shortly after his arrival in Cal
thersburg Marshal Ewell SwOre out a
warrant charging Saffel with the crime.
and Sheriff Welt, who had also been
asked to come to Gaithersburg, placed
Saffel under arrest
Saffel at first denied that he knew any,
thing about how the building caught fire,
but when told of the evidence against
giving as his only reason that he wanted
to see the people rum" Saffel later
signed a typewriter confession, which
was used at the trial today.

"ksiah Aliens Wife,"

Josiah Aliens wife in giving
the world at large q piece of her
mind on the subject Of license
asks the following questions in
her homely but pointed fashion:
If a deadly serpent had brok-
en- loose from some circus, and
was within and twistin' his way
through Jonesville, swallerin'
down q man or woman every few
days, would men stand with their
hands in their pockets, or leanin
up ag'inst barn doors Within
arguin' feebly from year to year
whether it was best. after all, to
let him go free? After they had
seen some of their friends swal-
lowed down by it wouldn't they
chase it into any hole they could
get it into? Wouldn't they turn
the first key on it they could get
a hold Of? And if it broke loose
from that. wouldn't they try an
other key, and another, till they
got one that would hold him?
DO you suppose they would
rent out that serpent at so much
year to crunch and swaller
folks accordin' to law? And would
it be any easier for the folks that
was crushed and swallowed,
and for the survivin' friends of
the same, if they was killed by
act of COnQressY'

not wonderful how uniformly

somehow, we should think he
might inadvertently array him
