His store was burned, and he made claim upon the insur- ers for heavy loss, eweuring that he had a large amount of property in the building. ‘There were grave suspicions that he had set fire to the store, but he was only convicted for the per- ury, of which he was convicted. In sentenc- ing the prisoner the recorder said he had no doubt that he bad committed both arson and perjury, and that he had done both in order to successfully obtain money by fraud. The sen- tence Imposed was to be a penalty correspond- ng to the magnitude of the crime, and was al intended to deter others from thé commission of similar offences.
