The odor of the stuff was strongor than anything clse and it seemed to he on everything. In the meantime the attic had be- v simultan- | the ground floor, the water was pouring in through the windows and on the roof. Here again the firemen| found the same difficulty ag thelr brother smoke-eaters were experienc- Ing on the ground floor. The water seemed to be inflamable itself, and as it leaked down on to the next floor, little pool that formed was gasoline that formed on top of the water. A quantity of gasoline soaked rags were also found up here, and Chief Barnes collected them into two piles and brought them to the fire station. The fire was finally extinguished, but even this morning, the odor of gaso- line is much stronger than the smell of burned wood or clothing. Police Are Notified Chief Barnes immediately notified the police department saying that the case was one for them to handle. Ac- cording to him, there is no doubt but that the fire was set by somcone. The gasoline was unmistakably there and it was spread everywhere. The fire spread to all parts of the house a few seconds after it was dis- covered and persons standing outside the building could even get the odor of gasoline, The fact that the fires were burn- ing on the ground floor and in the attic without any connection bhetween them is a circumstance that has much suspicion attached to it. The house is owned by Mrs. Rose Grubalezyk who lives at 210 Curtis reet, and the lower tenement is oc- cupied by Ignacy Nankues. The up- per tenement is unoccupied. Fire On Jan, 28, Too There was another fire in the same place on January 28 and at that time, no one lived in either of the tene- ments. At that time, also, according to the chiefs, there was some suspi- cion of incendiarism, but no evidence such as was secured at the fire this morning. g inkues told the police that he works nights at North and Judd's fac- tory and he left his home at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and did not re- turn until 7 o'clock this morning. Yesterday, however, he sent his wife and child away on a vacation. The reason he did this is not known. He has $400 insurance on the furniture in his tenement. Four Strange Men. 1 Sergeant lillinger and Policeman Lee in their investigations last even- ing, learned from some of the neigh- bors that four men had been seen coming from the house just hefore the cxplosion happened, but none of them was known. Policemen McCue, O'Mara, members of the vice-squad, in making investigations today, learned that five gallons of gasoline had bLeen delivered to the. place by a Berlin firm yesterday afternoon. This clue, they expect, will result in the arrest of the persons who ordered the gasoline if they can be discovered. Further investigation revealed that there is $9,000 insurance on the place. Mups. Grubaieyzk claims to know noth- ing about the matter, and when she was questioned, nearly went into hys- terics. IFeeney and Arrests Likely. The police expect to make an ar- any moment. They have any number of clues and they are sure that it is an arson case. This con- stitutes a state’s prison offense, but conviction is difficult, because it is hard to pin the crime on any one per- sen. Isvery clue is being followed, however, and with the information, already in their possession, they feel confident that they will land the guil- ty ones behind the bars. The roof of the house was almost totally destroyed and the lower floor was all charred. The furniture was a total loss. The damage was estimated at about $2,000. MAY COMPLETE JURY Trial Of Roscoe Arbuckle To Get In- to Full Swing, Court At San Fran- cisco Hopes.
