ARREST IS NEAR
IN PHENIX FIRE;
CHILDREN BURIED

PHENIX CITY, Ala, Oct. 15.-An
arrest is thought to be in prospect
by local police today in the fatal
burning of the three Hart children
hero Saturday night. The Of ors
have been working on several clews,
according to Chief of Police Gull
latt, but nothing definite has been
learned
J. c. Caps, proprietor of the
grocery store on the ground floor of
the two-story brick building, where
the children's charred bodies were
found on the second floor following
the fire Saturday night, is under
stood to have told the officers that
Hart probably had enemies in two
negro women, against whom he
had appeared as witness in the To-
cal police court a week ago. That
their malice led them to burn the
store is one of the jncendiary clews
being run down.
Chief of Police Gullatt is said to
have received a number of other
rumors which he indicates he would
investigate, one of them being that
the rear stairway of the store had
been saturated with kerosene.
4, Chief Gullatt said two of his men,
officers Collier and Newsome, had
passed the building only about two
minutes before they heard some one
shouting fire. They heard these
shouts when they were about a
block away, according to the chief,
and when they turned saw the
flames leaping up.
During the whole of Sunday, the
scene of the triple tragedy was the
mecca of people from Columbus,
just across the river from Phenix
City, and other nearby cities.
The condition of Mrs. Hart,
mother of the victims, who col
lapsed Saturday night when she
learned of the fate of her children,
was reported improved yesterday
and she and her husband accom-
panied the bodies to Richland, where
interment was held.

But he will do it all while sitting
