for leniency and a parole.
In passing sentence Judge Ham
ilton .after hearing the state

while the defendant claims the
fire that destroyed his home to be
an accident, that the explanation
was not satisfactory and that in
dications pointed to a much more
serious crime than the charge of
fraud.

the court said, .the leniency that
