Arrest Man Who Made
''1Orch'' OF Woman

MOBILE, ALA. - CAMP =
Willie Jackson of New Orleans,
was arrested by police here and
charged with setting fire to a
woman with whom he had been
quarreling.
Jackson, %, signed a statement
admitted that he threw gasoline
on Betty Jean Watts, 10, then
touched of the gasoline with a
match.
According to witnesses, Jack
son and Miss Watts became en-
gagged in an argument while they
were sitting in tavern, he at a
table and she in ! oooth.
Miss Watts is said to have used
abusive language at Jackson who
became angry when other pa
irons laughed.
AT first, JACKSON tried to get
a companion to purchase the
gasoline. When the companion re-
fused Jackson went himself and
returned with the inflammaIble
fluid in pint milk bottle.
He threw the gasoline on Miss
Watts, struck a match, tossed it
at her and fled. The blaze roared
up, burning off all the victims
clothes.
Customers in the tavern Smoth-
cred the flames, but not before
Miss Watts had suffered burns
on 70 per cent of her body. At
last report her condition was
listed as poor.
Jackson, who said he became
angry when everybody in the
tavern laughed at the woman's
remarks, told officers he got the
idea for using gasoline because he
had worked around gasoline lot
while in the Air Force.
