lend of the hall on the Mckinley street side; had been there to collect laundry and delivered the same there; had seen Ellis there; presumed he slept there; took it for granted On cross examination was not posi- tive Ellis slept there. Defendant waived statement and~offered no tes- timony.
 The charge in Case No. 413 was read to accused, charging arson of store house of Max Schmidt, owned by Mabel F. White. Max Schmidt was called as a witness. His testi- mony was practically identical with that given yesterday. In addition he stated that his place of business, Louie's Cafe, the Pinzon Bar and the Pinzon Cigar Store had been con- pletely destroyed by the fire. On cross examination placed time of go- ing to his store about 10 minutes past four. Defendant waived state ment and offered no testimony.
 AS further evidence in Case 40 the government called c. J. Todd. He testified was postmaster of town of Valdez; postoffice was located on the morning of January in the Kanitz block; office leased from Kanitz; there was mail in the office at that time; said mail was burned in fire which destroyed building.
 The court read to the accused the charge in Case No. ALA, in which ar son was charged in connection with the fire in the Alameda rooming house belonging to Rose Johnson. The government called Mrs. ). Sur rhyme as a witness. She testified she is a daughter of Mrs. Rose Johnson formerly lived in Alameda house; building had been unoccuped since last May or June; the place had been entirely destroyed by fire.
 Defendant waived statement and offered no testimony.
 Government rested case and sub- mitted to court without argument. Attorney for defendant stated that practically all the testimony offered had been in connection with the post office fire; that the government wit nesses had by their testimony shown that Kanitz was not in the vicinity of the postoffice at the time the fire broke out there; and that the court on this evidence had no course but to turn the accused loose.
 Attorney Ritchie held that reason able grounds for holding the accused had been established by the testimony offered.
 The court held that the fact that the fires of January ? were of incen- diary origin had been established without a doubt, and that the only question then remaining was the con nection of the accused with the fires. He believed that the testimony had shown a motive and that there was reason to believe the accused might have been connected herewith. He therefore bound the accused over to the grand jury, fixing the bond in Case No. 40 at $5,000 and in each jof the other four cases at $3,000, making a total bond of $17,000.
 Up to this time the accused has not furnished bond and remains in the custody of the marshal.
