New Britain herald., 1923-11-19
contents OF the building.

The house was occupied by negro
employees of the company. The wom-
an who kept the house was in New
Britain and the men who lived there
had also gone out. There Is another
house short distance away but il is
thought that the occupants OF this
| uilding had also gone out.
In an attempt TO enter the building
during the fire several men got in
through a cellar window and found a
can OF Kerosene. This led TO the
theory that the fire was of incendiary
origin, AS the housckeeper was ig-
norant of how the kerosene happened
to be there.
One of the men who works at the
yards stated this morning that the
fire had started from the outside OF
the house, thus strengthening the idea
thai II was set
The night was a very foggy ono and
those going To the fire did not sec Il
until within loo feet The glare
rould not be seen in East Berlin. n
Is thought that an investigation will
be conducted.
