day afternoon for the purpose OF
explaining to the police his version
Of how the fire originated and how
he escaped being trapped in the
house the defendant broke down
and cried. Evidence was inter-
jected through the cross examine
ton to show that the accused was
mentally and physically q wreck,
having been thrown from a rail-
road trestle by an engine. He IL
still under the care of the doctor.
Mickiewicz was alone when the
fire broke out. He first claimed
that he leaped out of the second
story window, but later changed
his story to state that he walked
downstairs and out the door. 1t de-
veloped during the presentation of
Lieutenant Stevens testimony that
although there were three beds in
the house not one was equipped
with a mattress, Mickiewicz hav-
ing slept on the springs of his bed.
The lieutenant admitted, that the
accused had explained to him that
one mattress had been torn open
and he ticking removed for the
purpose of making new mattress.
The ticking had been Strewn about
to dry, according to the defense.
1t was also claimed that a Oil
burner in the kitchen stove was
the cause Of the blaze. The burn
err explained the presence Of kero-
sene in the house.
Mickiewicz's wife and child were
not at home when the fire started.
At first he couldn't explain where
they were, but the police found
them with friends on Thomaston
avenue.
The accused is an empIoye Of
the Chase Metal Works. Until a
few months ago he also conducted
a store. which Is located in his
house. He closed 1t when business
became poor. Mickiewicx bought
the house for $1,000. It IL mort
gagged for $4,000 and insured for
$4,000. There is also $4,000 insur-
ance on the furnishings.
The defense offered no evidence
following the refusal Of Judge T..
v. Meyer to grant Attorney BLAME
fields motion for q discharge. An
effort is to be made to have the
case tried during the present ses-
sion OF superior court.
