3 Under Arrest in Connection
With Fires in Cambridge
and Boston

Boston, Aug. 3O.--LP)--A white
mongrel dog, which unwittingly, led
to the arrests of its master and two

set at $4,000.
The fires originally had been at
tributed by Cambridge police to SYM
pathizers of SaccO and Vanzetti, but
this theory was later discarded when
suspicion turned to Downey and his
companions.
Dog Seen in Car
The arrests were brought about by
a woman who lives near one of the
burned buildings, who reported the
number of an automobile in which q
man and a small white dog dis
appeared after running behind the
