Arson Charge Holds
Maryland Carpenter

An arson charge has been placed
against a Carmody Hills (Md)
carpenter after two fires were ex-
tinguished at his home last night
and this morning.
Albert Roberts. AZ, of 207 Blaine
street, Carmody Hills, was placed
under $500 bond on the arson
charge. The interior of his five
room house was burned out by
fire which police charge he started
about o'clock this morning.
The first fire at Roberts house
was about 7 o'clock last night.
Fire companies from Seat Pleas
ant, Capitol Heights, Hillside and
Boulevard Heights responded to
the call of a neighbor and ex-
tinguished it before it caused
much damage.
Seat Pleasant flremen told
police Roberts walked into their
firehouse shortly after the first
fire was extinguished and NUT
tered something about the fire.
He walked off, police said, and
nobody thought much about what
he had said.
Several of the firemen were
about a block from the firehouse
after the second fire was put out
when they saw Roberts. Police
said the firemen grabbed him and
held him for police. The police
said Roberts clothes smelled of
kerosene when they arrested him.
Police said Roberts wife was
staying with neighbors and was
not home when the fires started.
