GLEN AD A Over mile of gravel
spread by Meyers Construction Co.,
on Coast highway south from city
during recent week.
Sentence will be passed tomor
row morning by Circuit Judge J.
T. Brand of Marshfleld, upon Mrs:
Ann Wright, mother of two boys,
her husband, L. B. Wright, and
Ivan Robblns and wife, for their
confessed setting fire to a dwelling
for the purpose of defrauding an
insurance ' company. The law pro
vides a penalty from three to seven
years In state prison.
Each of the quartet made a
complete signed confession, detail
ing their role. The crime was com
mitted September 14 last, four
days after they had taken out an
Insurance policy for $2000. The
house was a small structure on the
Sprlngbrook road In the Buckshot
Hill area, owned by Samuel Mason,
now a resident of California. The
housj was first filled with goods
and chattels, some purchased on
the easy payment plan from local
firms.
The night befor the blaze, val
uable goods and keepsakes were
removed and cached. In the early
morning, a kerosene soaked tar
paulin, and kindling were spread
throughout the house and set
ablaze.
Wright, and the two Robblna' ex
press no emotion, at the fate In
store for them, but Mrs. Wright
at the thought of her two young
sons, becomes hysterical.
