BOUND OWN FEET, Fires Followed Earlier Dreams, Related COMMITMENT ASKED Investigation by State Offi cer hnds with Kecom- mendation Bessie Keenan, mnirl in the Tracy Fairchild household, con fessed Thursday evening that she set fire to the Fairchild housr Monday morninK in order to conceal the fact that she had failed to do certain work which she was expected to do while Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild were out of the city. An insanity complaint against the jrirl was to be filed . today by H. II. Pomeroy, deputy state fire marshal. The girl's confession, made to Pomeroy. District Attorney A. J. Moore and Fire Chief Tom Car Ion in the presence of newspaper reporters Thursday evening. came as the culmination of itue tionintf on the part of the offi cers throughout the day, during which they constantly pointed out to her the absurdity of tne story she had told at first. This story had been that a strange man had come to the house demand ing food, and that when she had re fused to give If to Mm. he had bound her feet and then set fire to the house. .Ii'ivclry Scattered According to the eonfesalon. the girl had not felt well during Satur day and Sunday, while the h'alrchtlds were away, and had failed to wasli the woodwork In the front room. She had gone to a dance at Pler.sant Itldge with Miss Frances Smec and two young men. one of them Miss Srnec's cousin, and had spent Satur day and Sunday nights at the Smc home. She stayed away from the Fair child home these nights because she had been frightened Friday night while staying there alone, believing there wa"s someone in the bouse. On Sunday she was ill as a result of outing grapes, and .Monday morning after returning to the Fairchild home she suffered an nttnek of unconsci ousness. After making preparations to do the washing, she went upstulrs to telephone for groceries; and on her way back to the basement she set fire to a box of papers standing nesr the foot of the stairs. This was done, she said, to smoke up the house an that her failure to wash the wood work iroutd not lie discovered. Next the girl scattered some jew elry about the front room to mskS it appesr that someone had attempt ed a robliery. and then called the fire department, asking the telephone op erator to turn in the nlnrni. Denies Knrlici- I'ires After tying her feet with the small rope which she found In the kitchen. Bessie starled to cruwl lo the front door, but was overcome by the smoke, ami fainted. She did not regain con sciousness until she had lieen carried to the W, J. Williams home. The litea of starting thn fire. Bes sie said, had been gained from dream ing of the Fairchild house burning down the night before. Once before, while living neat Richfield, Idaho, tin, girl dreamed thai her uncle's house, a mile and one-half from her home, burned down, and two nights later It did so, she related in her confession. A year before Hint, she bad dreamed cboiit the sumo uncle the night before his bonne burned down She denied hav ing anything to do with causing thesn fires. The second of these fires occurred about u year ago, and shortly before Bessie suffered n nervous breakdown which was caused by gas pressure on she said.
