CHIEF is
FIRST WITNESS
Especial Correspondence.O


Cambridge, June 28.-Otto Hagg,
chief of the local fire department,
was the first witness called in the
trial yesterday before Judge W. T.
Church in circuit court of the peo-
pie versus B. A. Tyler. Tyler is
being tried for an attempt to burn
his own property.
An outline of the case was given
by States Attorney c. A. Me1in. On
July IS, 1921, the Tyler flats were
badly damaged by fire. About 20
days prior to the conflagration Mr..
Tyler had the property insured for
S44 500. The state maintained that
the property was worth only 500
600. At o'clock on the date nam
ed, Mark Scott, who resides across
the street from the property, heard
an explosion. Investigating, he
found the Tyler flats in flames. He
hurried to the fire station, only to
find the bell rope cut and the cleo
trio lights out of commission. The
wiring on the fire truck had been
cut and the nozzeI removed from
the hose When the firemen finally
arrived at the building they were
alleged to have found many cans
said to have been filled with kero-
sene and gasoline. Mrs. Tyler and
daughter are said to have been res
cued from the burning building by
fremen.
Charles Stoutz OF Kewanee, who
is defending Mr.. Tyler, gained a
material point in that certain of
the cans taken from the building
could not be identified later.
The fire chief testified to the
finding of containers in different
rooms of the building which con-
tanned something which smelIed
like kerosene or gasoline. MANY
witnesses were sworn in by the
state.
