It oost the Police Depantment much more than that for the evidence which convicted him.

He gave the idea that in his opinion the "lid was down very tight indeed.

After setting fire to the waste material sho lingered near the blaze, her clothing catching fire. Her screams as she ran into the kttohen attracted Policeman Monaghan, who was passing the building. Mrs, Slezes was found near tho idtchen sink vainly trying to drench her burning dress with water flowing from tho faucet, ‘Where is the bed-roomt” called the offloer, “In there," answered the sufferin, woman, pointing at a door leading 0! the kitchen. The police offloer ran into the room and, securing an armful of bedding, he quickly returned, and enfolded the woman's form in the hianketa. The flames were smothered, and in the nick of time, ‘When Dr. Burna, i, the Harfem Hos- tow . Bi pital, ved Mra. on wis found to Be bad burned about the heed, breast and arms.
