consideration and on the basis of

The iii:- of another convicted mur-

Mr. Mitchell came back Saturday

tion. lie stated further that he had
no intention of remaining away from
the city, but intended to remain and
see the matter through." ' He has

Filling Station
Fire Put Out By
Blanket Brigade
Accounts vary concerning a. gaso-
line fire at the Gulf Refining com-
pany filling station at the foot of
Armory Hill yesterday afternoon.
The explanation given the fire au-
thorities was that the blaze started
up in the gasoline tank of a Bee
speed wagon truck when the driver
struck a match and the head of the
match broke off and fell into the
open tank. The police were told
that the head of the match fell to
the ground and ignited a pool of
gasoline and oil.
Flames spread and consternation
utes. A call was sent in for the
fire apparatus from Box 86. which
brings out all of Norwalk’s equip-
men: but when the fire trucks ar-
rived the blaze had been put out
with blankets and extinguishers
with which the station is supplied.
The driver of the truck. owned
by Nicosia Brothers of Lynn. Mass..
was D‘elmar Saunders, also of Lynn.
His name was taken by Motorcycle
Ofiicer Harry Brown as he was the
man who struck the match but no
arrest was made. A similar fire
occurred there about five weeks ago.
