ROMAN LAW AND JURISPRUDENCE, A Gang Whose Regular Business wa- Burning Houses. ., . St. Paul, Dec. 3.—One of the mor diabolical conspiraces ever concocted • was brought to a focus here and culm: I minated in the arrest of a gang of in-, cendiaries who for over a year hav- made a regular business of setting fire j to nouses and stores in various parts oi ; the city for the purpose of securing v ‘ part of the inshrance money. Th*- j Bcheme Was unearthed by the clever . work of Detectives Mason and Barne? j of the Thiel agency, assisted by Hall Floyd and Ben Finkelburg, brought hero from St. Louis, who stood in with the gang and nabbed them in the very act of applying the'lighted match which was intended to destroy property. So long ago as Nov. 1 the insurance agents of St. Paul became convinced that many of the numerous fires here were of incendiary origin. A meeting of the agents was held, at which J. Quincy Haas of the German Insurance company was appointed to take charge of the matter and detect the rascals if possible. Ab a result of his work part of the gang are now under arrest for firing a building on the west side. The plans of the detectives and insu rance men were all laid. At 8:15 p. m. Moritz Michael, in company with one of the detectives, fired a building upou which a policy of insurance had been obtained by Floyd, the understanding being that Michaels was to receive a part of the insurances Floyd had al ready trapped Moritz Michael into a confession that he has burned five houses in West St. Paul on the percent age of insurance plan. One ot these was that of his uncle, Max Michael. The house fired is at the corner of Water and Edward streets. A gasoline stove stood in a corner of the kitchen The gasoline had been turned on and a pile of straw set by the stove. A light ed candle was placed on a box in this straw, and when it had burned a short time it would ignite the pile. Michael was arrested just as he had closed and locked the outside door and was leaving the house. The candle would have burned for four hours when it was in tended for the house, to bum. The house was owned by'A. M. Lawson. The fire department was called ou‘ promptly, and when they' arrived the incendiary was under arrest. Moritz Michael has also stated that when he lived in Chicago, under the name of John Myers, he made lots of money setting fires. The detective- have about 500 type-written pages oi evidence secured against the gang. Max Michael, an uncle of Moritz, was also arrested as au accomplice , in the business. He lives at 163 State street, and Moritz has been living at 21 East Fairchild avenue.
