eral three years ago, and until recent
ly member Of the staff of the gov
ernor, was arrested today on a war
rant charging him with arson The

Wharton, a deputy from the office
of F. III. McMaster, State insurance
commissioner.
Before daybreak Saturday morn
ing. April 19, barn and storehouse
belonging TO Mrs. j. NJ. Richardson
were destroyed by fire. The buildings
destroyed were on the lot on which
the Richardson's resided. In addition
to this being the third fire on the
Richardson premises within the past
few years, an affidavit made by Mar
tina Frazier, a negro woman, alleges
that on Thursday, few days be-
fore the fire, she stored with Capt
richardson q lot OF furniture and
household goods; that the morning
after the fire she was told by Capt
Richardson that her goods had been
destroyed; that learning that her eff
fects had been removed the day be-
fore the fire to Capt. Richardson's s
farm a few miles in the country, she
located these and under claim and
delivery proceedings regained possess
sion OF them. Richardson had in
surance in the sum of 5000 which he
collected without difficulty.
Deputy Wharton has been in Aiken
investigating events connected with
the fire for the past week or ten
days.
Capt. Richardson was placed in
jail today and stated late this after
noon that the charges against him are
only "frame-up." He attributes his
arrest 10 politics and persecution
He states that the furniture which
the Frazier woman stored with him
had been taken under a mortgage
held by r. b. Carter, but that the
woman had paid the mortgage and
he had endeavored to- get her 10
move her goods. and explained that
a part of her goods had been removed
to his farm several months ago be-
cause he had no room for them in
town.
Until short while ago Capt Rich
ardson was commander of the local
military company, the Aiken Rifles,
which was mustered out of service a
rev months ago. In the buildings
which were burned he had stored a
lot Of property belonging to the mill
tary company, and when the firemen
arrived they were prevented from
lighting the fire by the explosion Of a
large number of cartridges which en-
dangered their lives. Capt. Richard
son sustained a slight injury by the
explosion of one of these cartridges.
preliminary hearing will be held
tomorrow morning at which time
Capt. Richardson will apply for bail.
