A fire of unknown origin broke out this morning about 9:20 .o'- clock on the third floor of a tenement house at 36-3S Albert place. The rear veranda became enveloped in flames in a surprising short time and the fire was spread ing rapidly when several com panies of fire apparatus arrived in response to bell alarm from Box 221. Before the smoke eaters were successful in checking the blaze the upper rear section of the dwelling was badly damaged. The kitchen of the home of Da- vid Melman, former owner of the house, was completely wrecked |. It is believed that the fire will re- suit in a loss between $1,500 and $2,000. The house is part of the estate of Mrs David Albert to which it was returned about two weeks ago in foreclosure pro- ceedings.
 Bremen were unable to explain the cause. Mrs Melman declared that she did not know how the blaze originated. Her three-yeaf old son, Oscar, who was playing in the kitchen at the time dis covered the fire and screamed for his mother. Mrs Melman ran downstairs to the apartment of Aaron Rachstein on the second floor and gave the alarm.
 The upper veranda was a mass of flames when the firemen reached Albert place. The heat became so intense at one time that employees of the R. F. Worden & Sons, who occupied the adjoining premises on the south side. started the sprinkling system in the large brick building which serves as a combination garage and barn. A hose was also held in readiness in event of emergency. There was little danger of the building catch ing fire, but it was feared for a

 Three. lines of big hose were used in extinguishing the flames. Bremen remained on the scene for more than an hour and a half bers of the former veranda and removing as much debris as pos sible from the ruined tenement of the Melman family. The Rachstein family on the second floor suffered principally from water. Part of their rear veranda was also destroyed. Before the firemen were successful in smothering the flames completely part of the roof was burned away The family of Joseph Devorak oc- cupy the first floor. They will suffer loss from water also.
 The cause of the fire will be investigated by Fire Marshal Frank W. Holland. In view of the fact that Mrs Melman claims that no hot ashes had been left on the yer anda and no rubbish or inflam- mable material, the firemen were admittedly puzzled this morning for an explanation. Had a strong wind been blowing this morning it is without question but what the firemen would have faced a serious proposition. The damaged dwelling Is but one of several large tene- ment houses in close contact, in Albert place. Residents of ad- joining buildings were given a biz scare.
 Owing to the fact that lines ot
 hose stretched across Cherry street 1t was necessary for the police to re-route traffic oH Cherry street and Vine streets. Patrolmen Pat rick Kennedy and Patrick Me- Cabe were in charge of the situ- ation in the vicinity of Albert place and Clock avenue.

TOWN IS FLOODED
AS LEVEE BREAKS
Water Pours Into GIendora,
MISS, as River BatterS
Hole in Dixie.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLARKSDALE, Miss, December %
The Glendora Levee, against which the
swollen Tallahatchie River has been
beating for days, crumbled today and
water began pouring into Glendora to
a depth of five feet.
The business section was flooded but
there was no loss of life and it was
believed much of the residential section
would remain safe from the onrush,
since it is protected by the embank-
ment of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley Railroad.
The levee break, 20 to 25 feet wide
occurred at point just outside the
Glendora municipal limits at a point
considered reasonably strong. The water
began pouring through before convict
levee workers and citizens could get to
the scene.
Every store in the town of several
hundred population was flooded and
considerable number Of residences were
in water. A large portion Of the popula-
tion had retreated to the higher section
of the city.
Todays levee break was the fourth
in the Tallahatchie flood that has sent
about a thousand persons from their
homes TO the towns and protected farms
of Pamela, Quitman and 'Tallahatchie
Counties
The break today was unexpected.
Supt. j. w. Williamson of the State
Prison Farm at Parchman had expressed
hope that levees at Glendora would
hold several inches more of water.
Ccnvicts and citizens had built the
dikes up to a point of being topheavy
with sacks of sand
The backwater was higher around
Sumner and Glendora than ever in
history, but it was believed that all
those marooned had been brought in
safely from the farm sections.
AS the more Southern points were
battling the pressure of waters, citizens
of Quitman and Pamela Counties to the
north, who had fought for two weeks,
saw victory yesterday as the heavy flow
passed, and recession was progressing
today.
With few exceptions, residents of the
menaced area have moved to high
lands, while refugees from flooded Sec
tions are being cared for in high-and-
dry neighboring towns by local resi-
dents and the Red Cross County CON-
munities outside the danger zone have
kept a steady flow of foodstuffs into
the refugee centers.
The Pope Whitten family, reported
missing in the flood area last week, was
located yesterday north of Crowder.
Two colored men, reported drowned,
also were located on plantation.

TWO ARE FREED
IN BABY SLAY|NG'
AcouittaI of Accused Gang
sters Ordered When Wit

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 28-Vincent
Coll and Frank Giordano we're acquit-
ted by order of the court today Of the
murder of 5-year- -old Michael Vengad
slain in a Harlem street last Summer
by a gangster fusillade.
The trial of Coll and Giordano opened
on December 16. The State called as
witnesses several children who had
been playing in Harlem's Little Italy
when a gangster car opened fire, kill
ing the Vengali baby and injuring sew
eral others.
Witness Admits Lie.
The principal witness for the prose-
cution was George Brecht of st. Louis,
who positively identified Coll and Gior-
dano as the killers. Under cross-ex-
animation, however, Brecht admitted
he had lied in his testimony when he
said he had never been a witness in
a previous trial.
The defense considered the States po-
sition SO weakened by this admission
that it offered to send the case to the
jury without summations. This was not
permitted by the court, and the trial
was postponed over the Christmas holi-
day until today.
AcquittaI Is Asked.
When court opened today Assistant
District Attorney James T. Neary, who
had acted as prosecutor, made the mo-
ton that an acquittal be directed, and
Judge Joseph E. Corrigan complied
In making his motion Neary men
toned information received from ST.
Louis that Brecht had been convicted
of grand larceny there in 1925. Brecht
had testified on the stand he had never
been convicted of any crime.
| Judge Corrigan, after directing the
verdict, announced he was ordering
Brecht committed to Bellevue Hospital
| for observation.
In his remarks to the Jury, Judge
Corrigan made it clear he did not place
any blame on either the district at
! torney or the police for the production
Of Brecht as witness.
Court Upholds Prosecutor.
This is a most extraordinary case"
Judge Corrigan said, there Is no doubt
in my mind that both the district at
torney and the police were honest and
fair throughout.
Neither the district attorney nor the
court would feel justified in asking you
for a verdict of guilty in view of the
proof as to Brechts record that has
been produced in court.
"Brecht made a good impression on
me on the witness stand, as he stood
up under several hours of severe cross
examination.
The court, the district attorney and
| the police are only interested in seeing
| justice done, and in view of the facts
in this case, 1 direct you to return a
verdict of not guilty"
Judge Corrigan remanded the de-
PENDANTS to the Tombs. Giordano Is
already under death sentence for the
murder of Joseph Mullen, beer check
