Myers Faces Arson Charge After Nighttime Fire Incident
Dave Myers, a city youth, was arrested on arson charges after an alleged attempt to set fire to the home of J Elizabeth Johnson on Franklin Court following a dispute with her brother Harold Davis. Police say Myers sought gasoline for his car at 1616 Washington street and was seen near the East End garage with a gasoline jar. Davis testified he saw a man strike a match and throw it under a house, triggering a small fire deterred by Mrs Johnson's quick bucket of water. Myers also faced larceny and drunkenness charges from the prior weekend, with several other detentions and fines levied by local officers.
