HOLLAND, ii PETER GREEN ARRESTED FOR ARSON

Charged with arson and defraud- ing an insurance company, Peter Green of Tolland was arrested Thurs day night by Captain Robert T. Hur- ley and Officer Elliot of the State Po- lice, and Captain s. J. Tobin of the Rockville department and lodged in the Rockville jail for the night. On Friday he was taken before the court in Holland, before Justice of the Peace i D. J. Mccarthy to answer to the charge. Green waived examination and was tound over to the April term l of the superior court under $15OO bail which he furnished himself. On May 28, 1916, the house and barn on Greens large farm in Holland were l totally destroyed by fire. Almost ! everything which was within both places was burned beyond reclama- l tion, Apparently there was no sus- picion whatever regarding the fire in 1916. Articles which Green had sworn were destroyed, and which were con l cealed in the woods about Holland, | were the cause of Greens arrest, it is said. Green has been sued by the Mid UACoCA MuLAd1 ASSuEduC0 CO., to re- cover $3,000. which the company paid Green after the fire destroyed his home.
