Blast in Arson Plot
Fatal 10 Firebug and
New York Detective
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 11.--A fur
tive, drawn-out plot to burn a
small clothing firm to collect $20.-
0C0 insurance backfired today
into triple arrests after two men
died in a thunderouS, million dol
lar blast and fire.
The victims were a city detec-
tive and one of the alleged arson
lists he had trailed into a nine
story Manhattan business build
ing last night. The structure was
wrecked when SIS gallons of gaso-
line blew up.
Another detective was blown
through a wall, and a second ac-
cused torch" was thrown five
stories down an elevator shaft,
landing in the basement atop an
elevator car. Both were seriously
hurt.
Fire Out of Control.
The terrific explosion, which
police said fumbling arsonistS had
planned as only a minor one,
shattered windows for blocks
around. The fire ragged out of
control for more than three hours.
The building was on West
Eighteenth street, just off Fifth
avenue.
Charged with homicide and
arson were Al Keshner, 42-year-
old president of sports coat firm
on the buildings fifth floor. and
two alleged hirelinSs, Jack Weiss,
ST, and Jake Myron. SO.
The other alleged arSonist-I
named as the man who set off
the fuse and who died in the
ensuing holocauSt-waS Moe
Shapiro.
Hired Gang For $3.50.
Assistant District Attorney All
Herman said that KeShner ad-I
mitted that diScouragement over
loss of an account had led him to-
hire the gang for $3.50 to burn
his plant so he could collect the
insurance.
It's one of the most unusual
crimes I've seen" said Detective
Chief Conrad Rothengast.
Detectives, who had been watch
ing the four men for 40 days, re-
constructed this finale of the plot:
An open drum had been filled
with gaSoline-far too much for
burning Keshner's plant-and a
fuse of cord strung out some dis
tance from the drum.
The men apparently expected
the fuse to allow them time to
escape, but they failed to consider
the heavy vaporS escaping from
the barrel of fuel.
Two Arrested.
The four men were seen enter
ing the building. When Keshner
and Mayron emerged they were
arrested. Two other detectives,
Howard Phelan and James Dag
gett. slipped along the corridors,
watching the others.
Then came the blast. Mr.. Phe-
Ian said he remembered flying
through a wall and cropping down.
stairs with his clothing afire. He
managed to seize Weiss as the
latter tried to flee. Both were
hoSpitalized.
The charred bodies of Mr.. Dag
gett and Shapiro were recovered
later.
Fire Marshal Martin Scott /
estimated damage to the building
contents and surrounding area
will exceed 81 million.
Broken glass and splinterS of
wood Uttered the streets. Dense
smoke shrouded the area for hours
as thousands watched the roaring
inferno. Thirty-five fire engines
fought the blaze.
Police said the arson gang came
under suspicion in early August
when they first attempted the
burning job. They tried again,
unsuccessfully, around September
/. police said.

The Lost Men

All through the night down Skidroad way
The lost men seek to find a place.
They trail their shadows night and day;
Not even rats could win that race.
The DRINKS are there, and if they pray
They struggle hard to find the path
But many are led astray
BY the grip of the devils wrath.
They're lost in a desert of stones
With no place to call their home.
And their aching bundles of bones
Seem forever doomed to roam.
On lonely streets they wander far,
Far into the depths of the night.
And they search for their lucky star,
Yet they but the neon light.
Here they come and here they co.
What mark have they left on those stones?
The dust they gathered to and fro
Is in winds that sigh like their means.
Now Brother. were you with them there?
Or did you see them from afaF?
Or do you really, really care,
Or have you found your lucky star?
