Tli Ooreinliint's Story.
Joe Williams: I am defendant In
this case; for past year have been do
ing odd Johs nnd chores for Mrs. Zit
her; on Sunday, January 24, was only
absent from the house to K't milk;
during the nfternoon I was reading
hooks nnd papers, also during the eve
ning until about 9 o'clock when Mrs.
Zuber told mo to go to bed and turn
off the water; I remained r.ome time
until Mrs. Zuber once more told nie
to go. 1 stepped outside, turned off
the water and came back to see If
Mrs. Zuber had opened the faucets.
I saw she had and then I went to the
basement, went to bed and did not
leave the house until the fire bell rang,
when I first called to Dollte to know
where the flrewas. She replied she
did not know; 1 soon heard people
walking on the sidewalk and I grt up
to look around when Mr. King came
along and asked me where the fire
was; I told him 1 did not see any; he
was the only man I saw on the street;
jthe next morning after taking the
ashes out of the stove, I built a fire
and went after milk, to Scriher's. but
they were not up and I then went to
the creamery, upon reaching Fourth;
this was the first time I knew where
the fire was; I stopped and talked to
Lot Snodgrass and others; later in the
dav, while working on O street. Chief
Walden approached me and said hi
wanted to see me at his office; after
reaching there he accused me of set
ling the fire and put me In jail, where
I remained until In the afternoon,
when I secured bail.
I never said to Mrs. Huehler that "I
would get even if It took 100 years."
During the Usl year I have worked
for CJeorge Palmer, Vincent Palmer,
flay Ilyrklt, Dr. Molitor. 1 have been
working for Ir. Molitor for the past
five yeHrs. off and on. 1 took care of
Dr. Molitor's automobile, carried in
his wood and coal, took care of his
lawn and yard. The driveway leads
from Fourth street to his barn, be
tween his house and the Ililts house,
about four feet from his residence.

I was not more than three feet from
the Milts house. There is no founda
tion f.r tile statements that I peeped
Into the windows, which are about
nine f. , t above the ground. In Dr.
