Following an inquisition -whicl lasted for five hours in Engine House No. 294 at Jamaica, Arthur Anthony Alloy, thirty-six, of No. 11611 95th Avenue, Richmond Hill, was arrested at 3 o'clock this morning charged with having set the fires on Sunday night in a tenement in 114th Street, RichmonA Hill, causing the death of & woman and a child and the injuring of eighteen persons; and In the two- family house at No. 11806 Atlantic Avenue. Alloy admitted to District Attorney Pana Wallace and Fire Marshal Thomas Brophy of Queens that he might have been in the cellar of the Atlantic Avenue house, but he did not remember. He made a number of conflicting statements as to his doings on Sunday night. He was arraigned jater in Jamaica Court and held in $25,000 bail for the Grand Jory. Mr. Wallace said he was convinced that Alloy is a pyromaniac, and efforts would be made, he added, to have the man placed in some institution. Alloy has been known to the Police and Fire Departments for twelve years. He has been arrested several times on charges of arson, and in 1913 was convicted of having fired a saloon in Woodhaven. For this he was sent to prison for a term of ten years, being released in 1920, The Atlantic Avenue fire of Sunday night occurred half an hour before that in 114th Street, and as Alloy was or eR known to live in the neighborhood Fire Marshal Brophy ordered him taken up immediately. He declared that he was at home at the time of the fires, but he broke down under “Totally and Permanently Physically Disqualified.” Through the reading of a special | == order in all fire houses here this morning, it was learned that Dr. Will- iam F.

Four of those ten: years he was Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention. The order retiring Dr. Doyle states that he is “totally and permanently physically disqualified for the peré formance of any duty."’ The specifiic disability is not given, but it has been learned that the Board of Medical Of- ficers on April 20 found Dr. Doyle to be suffering from defective vtsion.
