on the roadside, left little doubt in
the minds of witnesses that the fire
had not been accidental.
Persons passing along the road
early yesterday morning, investigators
were told, had seen the large delivery
truck on its way toward Marlboro
followed by a smaller car. At the fire
the smaller car was not seen, 1t was
said, and the general belief was that
the operators of the truck had left in
1t at the time of the fire.
No Sign of Liquor Found.
A careful survey of the debris re-
vealed not sign of the liquor, how
ever, and the investigators had turned
their efforts toward an attempted un-
covering of the spot where the liquor
left the truck In the burned portion
of the truck after the fire were found
only scraps of padding such as are
used to protect furniture in transit.
The wreckage and debris were quick
ly cleared away yesterday afternoon
and the road today only showed a
large burned spot where the heat of
the fire had melted the tar dressing
on the road. One witness is said to
have told investigators that when he
arrived on the scene even the rear
tires of the truck were afiame. The
truck, il is understood, was almost
totally destroyed. but President Hall
of the transportation company would
volunteer no information on this
point.
The arrest of Barber, however, it
was learned in an interview with MIR.

stated that he had no knowledge of
his employees arrest when the fact
was mentioned to him.
