"CHARGED WITH ARSON

Barnardo Boy Accused of Destroying Barns

London, Ont., April 27.--Oliver Cox, aged 19 eyars, of Middlemiss, Ekfrid township, was arrested yesterday afternoon by High Constable Hughes for arson. He is charged with the burning of the barns, implements and livestock of Frank O'Neil with whom he lived.

The fire occurred on Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock while Mr. O'Neil was away from home and only Cox and Mrs. O'Neil were left on the farm. One horse, three cows, two calves, five pigs and a large quantity of hay were in the two barns, which adjoined each other. The fire was well under way before it was discovered. There was no way of fighting it and it had to be let burn out [sic]. Cox was around the fire all the time.

When Mr. O'Neil returned home in the evening he was completely overcome by his loss, which will total $2,400. He could give no reason for the fire. He had no enemies. However, it is evident that he suspected Cox, for yesterday morning High Constable Hughes left for Middlemiss, armed with a warrant for Cox's arrest. He was to investigate the fire and if he thought that it was a case of arson to execute his warrant, which he did.

Cox appeared before Squire Chittick late yesterday afternoon and was remanded to jail for a week. He is a Barnardo boy and came out here six years ago. He had worked for Mr. O'Neil for some years."

On March 7th 1916, Oliver Cox born July 6 1891 in Southampton, enlisted in Canadian Army, he gave his residence as Treherne, Manitoba, Canada, and his next of kin as Uncle-George Ebrum?, 2 Holborn St, London
