 With . charge Of arson lodged against Fisher, police continued their investigation today of the oth- CT confiaSrattons, s.
 Fire department officials said they held no doubt that three of the big fires were of incendiaTy origin, that two others were accidental and that another was of questions ble origin, In the ruins of two of the fires a number of oil cans were found. supporting the suspicion of arson.
