Several innocent stems and a dry leaf began to burn. Buzheninov panted, pushed a little further and set fire to the hay to the right and the left of him- self. Then he crawled under the wagons to the windward side, and pushed his last bundle of matches into the hay. White waves of smoke began to roll among the wagons, Buzheninov ran off a bit, and turned. Flames broke out. His pursuers began to howl. . Tongues of flame broke out |in three places at once.

The wooden roofs, the fences, lonely trees, starlings’ nests, were flood@d with wild light. The flames danced over the whole market place. The booths and the tents moved in the fire as though they were living things, then curled up and fell. The beams gleamed like “Renaissance.” Women with bundles, and crying children ran over the boulevard. No one paid any attention to Buzhen- inoy. A woman shrieked in a sick- ening voice, and fell to the earth. A bearded man in underwear ran by, his hands raised. Some one was carried by and laid down under a tree. All this was taking place be- fore the eyes of Vassili Alexeievich, as if it were not real, as if it were a fragment of his imagination, a series of colored pictures in the movies. There is no doubt that his mind was clouded in those minutes. The town was burning in whole sections. The boulevard became emp- ty—it was impossible to remain there because of the great heat. But Buzheninoy stood on a bench and looked. * i * * Here there is a gap in Buzhenin- ov’s testimony. He cannot remem- ber anything except a tormenting feeling of pain in his brain at the sight of a telegraph post, with wires hanging on both sides of it on the square among the smoldering booths. An insistent idea takes hold of him... .It is hard to understand how he was able to make his way through the burning streets to his house. . . . Here he remembers how he climbed through a window into the dining room and tore the plan roof of the house was already in flames, By ALEXEY TOLSTOY red coals through the roof of the} of the Azure City from the wall. The| Through the pasture and the old graveyard he returned to the boule- vard. This was near dawn. Instead of the market place a black ruin smoldered wide on all sides of him. sooty chimneys stuck out of it, and lonely, above the ashes, stood the telegraph post with the hanging wires. “Comrade Investigator, I assure you that in that moment I was over- whelmed by a sensation of deep de-| \light and sharp grief, I was alone in the midst of a desert. The ter- rible sensation of the self, of my rested its paws on the hot coals and was burned in the clouds and the dawn!

But I told every- thing honestly... . And I had to confirm the plan of the Azure City during the fire, that’s all... .” Holding the piece of canvas in his | teeth, Buzheninov climbed up _ the) post, but slipped, and lost conscious- ness. The rest is known. The in- vestigation of this unprecedented | case is ended. Buzheninov, Vassili Alexeievich, appears before the People’s Court.
