Both Herrick nnd the Do Greats made remarks to several parties , charging Krcllo with having sot fire to the building.

" Ho was soon having much moro money about his person than formerly nnd nt the time thnt the wliolo party thought of leaving for Ponsncoln , Fin. , Her rick went into tholickol oflicu of .Frank Moore and bought and paid out oNiis own pocket for tickets to that point , which were used by the DoGroats. The ' 'boys" seemed wholly dependent upon him 1 , Previous ' to the fire , about fifteen days or so , tlio DcGroats took out n policy on their stock of qoods. They did not go to ono agent but to several and divided the insurance among them so as not to ATTRACT HUHI'ICION. Soon nftor , being importuned by some pressing ] creditor to soltlo n bill , Ghnrloy wrote that , after n certain date ho would have the money and then lie 1 would pay up. The period named happened to bo just a littlu time after : the fire hiul taken place. As to the question , was the fire the * work of i an incendiary ? there wns not the slightest doubt. All who were there could smell the odor of kerosene , and tlio spontnnicly with which the ll.llllOE flow up , nnd their peculiar viciousness atlostcd the fact that oil had boon used. TJio only question re maining was as lo the motive. No one could have had a motive live in committing the crime oxccot those who would bo interested in receiving the insurance from the companies.
