the evidence they secured and deduc-
lions they with others have been led
to believe that the series OF ilrcs had II
deeper motive than usually actuates

the opinion OF a. ]. Tracy. assistant
state fire marshal, who gave II as his
opinion that fires hero were started by
some one who sought personal gain or
did 1t for revenge.
A popularity which has character

loss and nearly all of the fires were
started ut time when people were yet
astir. The officers thought they had
the clue they sought and they still
think so, but circumst ances which are

the person under suspicion. II the de-
auctions OF the detectives and officers

tions that will be made will form
narrative which will Guido fiction or
