Old Man of Seventy-Two Accused in Arson Fire for Insurance
The 72 year old William N. Stewart, once Crosstown’s leading storekeeper, was arrested in Cincinnati on arson charges after a devastating fire at his premises. Investigators found coal oil soaked cotton batting wired to a timed fuse, with dynamite stored nearby and an attempted warehouse blaze. Police say Stewart planned to burn for about $8500 in insurance, amid rumors of an affair with a 16 year old girl and mounting debt. The fire marshal notes the building’s destruction prevented any salvage. Arson carries a penalty of one to twenty years.
