be far away. Nevertheless when
the Angels first sang this song

Donald said he went to 623 South
Saint ASaph street and started
laying kerosene-soaked papers
against the house because he
said his girl friend wouldn't
come out.
Good Advice.
Before he could light the fire,
Cleophus related, some one
stuck a shotgun out a nearby
window and a voice in the dark
said: 1.-THE weed of crime bears
bitter fruit. I wouldn't do that
if I were YOU" So Cleophus
didn't.
Later, he told police, he just
wanted a fire because he was
cold. His girl friend, Carrie Nell
son, gave still another version.
She said Albert Woods, who lives
in the house, asked Mcdonald to
light a fire. But Mr.. Woods
doesn't have a fireplace, she said.
Early Sunday, Mcdonald said,
he went to Mrs. Coleman'S
house, where he admitted taking
the meat. Her daughter told po-
lice she met him on the way
out of the kitchen door, land
he was chewing" The underwear
and the meat, according to police,
had to be preserved in a restau-
rant icebox until yesterday.
