Question Suspect.

Although convinced that malice was
the intent of the incendiary fire at the
Rettig ice house on North Twelfth
street Aug. 6, Fire Chief Miller is un-
able to single out of the numerous pos
sible culprits the one upon whom a
preponderance of suspicion lies.
He and Deputy Fire Marshall White
Of Indianapolis are still investigating
the fire quietly. One suspect was ques-
toned but he was firm in his denial of
guilty knowledge even under the most
strenuous methods Of securing a con-
fession. Another suspect may be ques-
toned later.
The persons who say they saw a
man run across the river bottom can
not furnish any description that
would not fit half the male population
of the city. They say it was too dark
to see the man distinctly.
