ON PENICK FIRE

DECLARES HIS BELIEF THAT
TUESDAYS BLAZE WAS OF
INCENDIARY ORIGIN: RE-
MAINS TO PUSH PROBE

Circumstances surrounding the
explosions and fire that seriously
damaged the home of H. o. Pen

last Tuesday night were being
investigated today by Edward S.

the arson department of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwrit-
erS.
Investigator Davies arrived
here Saturday and over the week
end made preliminary study of
the evidence produced by Fire
Chief Harry Baker and the men,
bers of the fire department. Be-
yond declaring that in his opin-
ion the fire was of incendiary
origin, the arson expert remain
cd silent regarding the result of
his examination so far.
The Investigator did state that
he would continue his probe in
co operation with Chief Baker
and the sheriff's office. He laud-
ed the decision of local officials
to keep a guard at the Penick
home to prevent intruderS from
trespassing on the property.
Key West firemen reported
that two explosions were heard
as they were getting ready to
fight the fire discovered in the
Penick residence. They report
finding electric fixtures and rags
soaked with an inflammable
liquid in the house. Mr.. Penick
had been away from Key West
for several days and was not
aware of the conditions discov-
cred.
Investigator Davies is accom-
panied by Mrs. Davies. They ex
pect to remain in the city for "a
few days.
