CHIEF OF ARSON
TRUST TELLS OF
MEN HIGHER Up
.Danies Said to Have
Made Amazing
Confession.
TWENTY FIRES NETTED
$500, HE ASSERTS
Chicago Prosecutor Says Rev.
Citations Are More Startling
Than Those of Fink.

CHICAGO, March 12.-The report
that John Danies, alleged to have
been chief of the so-called arson trust,
had made a confession was confirmed
today by First Assistant States At
torney Frank Johnston
Danies. according to Johnston.
named forty members of the arson
ring, including several men "higher
up" and admitted he had set more
than twenty fires in Chicago.
The confession is said to be even
more startling than that recently
made by Benjamin Fink, who con-
fessed completely in 100 incendiary
fires An aggregate of 100000 in in
surance was collected from the Dan
les fires, said Johnston, who an
nounced that at least forty war
rants for business men. public fire
insurance adjusters and actual in
cendiaries named by Danies will be
sworn out late today or tomorrow.
Yields TO "Third Degree"
The confession was made after a
,seven-hour inquisiton during which
Danies maintained his innocence un-
til he broke down and made clean
breast of It,
1.-The ramifications of the trust as
described by Danies, are almost be-
yond belief said Johnston. "The
gang seemed to have worked in al
most every State in the middle west
Danies and Fink were chiefs of the
firebugs. although they did not belong
TO the same gang. Both men say
they do not know each other except
by reputation"
In confessing to Johnston. Danies
said; = tried to get out of the busi-
ness, but people would not let me
alone They kept sending me to do
Jobs for them. and | kept on going
in the same old way for fifteen years.
My first experience with fires hap
nened in my own home. and when. !
settled for tine insurance an adjuster
told me that / could make lots of
money by setting incendiary fires.
That's how l got mixed up in this
rotten stuff"

Danies said that on several occa-
sions persons for whom he had set

He said that he was sretained to

David Kershak, at present fugitive
from justice
Danies's confession probably will
mitigate the prosecution against
him, although Johnston said that he
had not quite made up his mind as
to what he would do for him and
Fink in return for their assistance
to the State.
