Had Strange Motive
for Incendiarism

Madison, Wis - "A novel mo-
tive for incendiarism, the collection of
damages instead of insurance, was UNI
covered in the conviction of Paul
Marley of Conrath in an arson case,
w. Stanley Smith. insurance commits
sioner and state fire marshall, am
nounced today.
Markley was to be sentenced in
Rusk county circuit court late today.
He was charged with being an Access
sorry before the fact. John Eastwood,
the principal in the case, was con-
victed last June and sentenced to two
years imprisonment.
"Of the many clever and devious
schemes which frebugs have attempt
ed to perpetrate in order to collect in
surance money for damages, the East
wood-Markley case is one of the most
fascinating and peculiar" Mr.. Smith
said. "In this case the usual route of
attempting to collect insurance money
was avoided. Instead, John East
wood claimed that the storekeeper at
Conrath had made al mistake and had
sold him gasoline to start fire in
stead of kerosene.
Eastwood claimed that when he
poured the liquid on the fire the
next morning, an explosion occurred,
damaging his furniture and doing in
jury to himself and to members of
his family. Eastwood Immediately be-
gan an action against the storekeeper,
G. w. Woodward of Conrath for $4,000.
Woodward called on the state fire
marshal's office for an investigation
and Boyd G. Laid of Eau Claire was
assigned to the case. Within few
days, Ladd had secured statement
from Paul Markley that he had been
an accessory and that the whole
scheme had been planned in detail in
order to mulate the merchant.
