ACCUSES HER HUSBAND.
What Airs. Allcrlon Says About the Fire
in Her Boarding House on
Mulberry Street.
The Tribune's report of the lite In
Miss Cella Allfrton's boarding house
Saturday morning, closing nt 3.20 n.
m told exclusively of the discovery
ot signs' or Incendiarism In the build
ing. Developments later ir the moin
Inr added to this vlelenco to a start
ling degree. All over the houre the,
marks of deliberate attempt? to Itre
tho house were found by Chief Hickey,
the police nnd The Tribunp reporters.
The question 'is, V!i!p wns.the tlend?
Mrs. Alk-rton, who conducled the
boarding house. In an Interview with a
Tribune reporter yesterday charred
her husband with having committed
the deed. Ills name is not known. Ho
was her- second husband and she does
not use his name. It. Is said that Mrs.
Allerton was rich when she met her
second choice. Now she Is not.
She started to tell of him yesterday
to the reporter but her 19 year old
daughter. May, summoned here Satur
day ftorn her study for the stag" at
New York city, held the mother In
check.
She told how a man In womurrs'
clothing had been loitering about the
hous several limes. Thursdiy night
previous to the fire she heard the rear
door thake as. If some one was trying
the luck. "I called my maid." said
Mrs. Allerton. "but she was afraid. I
was always warned never to put my
head out of the window but the tramp
ing1 about the yard contlnud. the door
knob scraped and I opened the window
und looked ont. There was a dog, with
a collar on, In the yard. I pulled
down the window hastily. Thole was
another sound, I again looked out.
The dog was going away as If some
one was calling It. 1 saw no one. but
Mr. R.niier, one of the boardeis, told
ne today (after the lire) that when
he was entering tho house nt 11 o'clock
he saw a man in womans' clothes
leaving tho fiont of the house nnd
crossing Mulberry street.
"Indeed, I was not surprised at this,"
ald Mrs. Allerton; "my daughter had
m experience of the same kind be
fore." Whereupon Miss May, the budding
actress, told the reporter how ore even
ing several months ago she and a
friend wheji returning after the theater
saw a man In woman's attire with a
dog, move from the front of the hou.se
when they apronched. Mis. Allerton
could tell It was a man by the long
strides" he tool: while crossing the
street.
Mrs. Allerton showed the 'renortcr
jirrt how a man could get Into the
lions'!. A wlndfuv In the side nt the
house was. never locked. "Mr. Barber,
one of the boatders," said Mrs. Allcr
lon, "got In through that window only
last night. The door was locked np.i
he hadn't a key." Mrs. Allerton nlso
stated that the basement door In the
rear had been broken open. The locks,
she said, hhowt'd It.
"Thn you think It was your hus
band who did the deed?"
"I do think so," said Mrs. Allerton.
"And to thing that he in trying to kill
me would harm the others oh oh:"
and she began to cry.
Mrs. Allerton stated that she would
sell her household furnishings and
l-itve th9 city with her daughter. The
furniture was Insured by I.uce Rros..
for tho full amount of damages, which
Is itiidJi 500.

Two W'omcn Who Had ait Ingenious
Scheme for Defrauding.
WERE ARRESTED ON SATURDAY

pcnl lor n liotui on Silver Spoons
They W cro I.onlli to I'ntt With.
They Left tho City.
A baby, a wan face, a basket nnd a
bundle of spoons me the make-up of
the latest swindle known to tho police.
Tho arrest of two Installments of these
combinations Saturday brought to light
the fact that for tho past three weeks
some very good people, and lots of
them, In this cltv have been duped.
The forerunners of the fnd were two
women, both strangers to this city.
They traveled about In poor clothing.
Each had a baby wrapped In a shawl
and holding It by the one hand, while
the other hand held n bosket hnlf
fllled with spoons. The game was
woiked Indiscriminately, each woman
taking tut ns while the other waited
outside ot the house or business plnce,
whatever might ho tho iiuarry. Upon
entering, the womnn would tell her sad
.story, somewhat on this order;
"I'm a poor woman I'm not a beg
garmy husband Is In Milwaukee,
called there by business. Now, I don't
want ynti to give me anything. I only
want to borrow $5 to tide mo over till
my husband gets back hom. The
baby Is not well and needs a doctor.
1 wish you would heln me. I don't
want lo beg. I have some silver spoons
with me they aro of tho genuine
Sheffield make sec the crown and
name of tho town on them? They
were piesents to me nt marriage. I
wouldn't part with them for the world,
but I will give them to you as n secur
ity until my husband leturns. Then I
will pav you back,"
APPEAL SUCCESSFl'L.
The appeal was usually successful.
One cential city business man was
averse to the barter. He didn't like
the looks of the spoons, he said. His
wife, who heard the woman's story,
however, was touched by the quaver
In her voice and the "Sheffield" and
crown stamped on the spoons. So Mr.
Business Man contributed $.1 ut his
wire's behest, and, the woman left.
'hrrmedlately' afterward the spoons
were subjected fo a t'st by a profes
sional chemist nnd were pronounced
to be lead. The word "Sheffield" and
the crown was simply n counterfeit of
tlie famous English brand.
T, P. Jones', n hotolkeeper of North
Main avenue. West Scranton, gave $.1
tor n number of spoons. Mr. Jones'
conscience, It seems, troubled him after
the transaction, so he called In Lieu
tenant of Police Williams, of the West
Side, and gave him the tip. "Valuable
spoons," said Mr. .Tones; "paid only $1
a burglary see the point?"
Lieutenant Williams reported the
matter to Chief Holding and for the
past few days tho chief has been wait
ing for some complaint about stolen
spoons. The only complaint mado.how
ever, was by a Mrs. Colvin, of Park
Place. She had been visited by one of
the women nnd In exchange for a five
dollar bill had received a couple of
dozen of the bogus silverware. Upon
making the discovery of the counter
felt, Mrs. Colvin Informed Chief Rob
ling and gave a description of the
woman,
WOMEN ARRESTED.
Lieutenant of Police Davis and
Patrolman Hawks succeeded, Satur
day, in locating the women. They were
walking along Penn avenue, each wo
man with a baby and basket and a
fresh supply of spoons. When accost
ed the women waxed indignant. "We
want to catch the 3 o'clock train," they
said.
"That's all light." said Lieutenant
Davis; "there are other trains. Come."
In the chief's office Mrs. Colvin Iden
tified the women. The $1 were re
turned and the women dismissed. Both
left the city on the next train.
