Former Football Coach
Richard Webb named
as Incendiary, Which
Clears up Mystery

Probably no trial for many
months pas has created the inter.
est that the recent trial of Richard
Webb. ir, former football coach at
State University who is charged
with having set fire to the office OF
Prot. f. Paul Anderson on the Uni.
versity grounds last October 30th.
Charges and counter-charges have
been fled bv him and Athletic Di-
rector L. K. Sweetland who had a
disagreement last November and
have been at outs since that time.
A brief summary of the facts and
Developments since the fire are
about as follows: On the night OF
October 30th about midnight fire
was discovered in Prof. Anderson
Office which destroyed the interior
of the Office. Later several articles
belonging to the Office were found
on the athletic field and other
places on and about the campus.
The student body we're almost as a
whole with Sweetland in sympathy
and a few hours previous to the fire
had made demonstrations showing
their Indignation against Prof.
Anderson and it was believed by
some that probably one or more OF
the students had set fire to the Office
on account of their hatred of him.
An investigation by State Fire
Marshall Bosworth who was as
sisted by a finger print expert
brought out the fact that a small
brass clock found after the fire be-
longing to the Office Of Prof. Ander.
son bore the finger print of Webb,
and that with other evidence caus-
ed warrant to be issued against
him on this charge. He stoutly de-
MED this charge at the examination
triil that has been going on at
Lexington for more than n week
but was held on a bond of $500
awaiting the action of the next Cir.
cult Court.
At this trial Webb attempted to
fix the charge upon Sweetland bas-
ing his claim upon the argument
THAT he (Sweetiaud) was at times
mentally unbalanced. but this
charge was not sust aimed.
\ sensation was sprugg near the
end of the trial when D. T. Ger
hardt, student swore that he met
Webb and another student named
Butler on the campus the night o
the hre. This was denied bv Webt
who caused warrant to he issued
TOR Gerhardt, charging him with
perjury.
Butler has been wanted ever sine,
