CONFESSES TO FIRING
 OF THIRTY BUILDINGS

in all the towns in which the fires oc- cured. +fs-t sfs
 In his confession Murray, who is 2i years old said:
 T could not resist the impulse to do it, although l realized the consequence.
 Murray explained that he had gone to tie second or third floors of many of the places, opened a closet and set fire to any inflammable material which might be in sight. Then closing the door he left the building and went to some nearby place where he could view the fire and enjoy the excitement. Frequently he had gone at once to some nearby building and started another blaze so the fires might burn simultaneously
 The most spectacular of the fires was in Waterbury, Conn. Murray, according to Chief Manning, started the fire which threatened to destroy the city hall as well as that in the Chelsea hotel and to setting a dozen other blazes the same night Waterbury was in a state of ter roy because of the fires. The militia was ordered out and patroled the streets for several hours. The total fire damage in Waterbury that night has been es- tinlated at s200,O00.
