'nil aaid the depo.it amfm a candle. Tjiere waa evidence tnai if a candle was burned in a vertical position the wick would disappear but if it melted or burned from extreme heat some wick would be left. In this case no wick was found. Other evidence, said the magistrate, had to do with gasoline kept in the store. All.

the gat, could be accounted for except a small quantity. Another thing waa the heat in the store when the firemen arrived, and might have been due to something used to accelerate the fire or from the burning partition uvelf, the court said. The magistrate in conclusion said that a jury might conclude that from the time Hertz left hia atore until the time of the fire waa Just sufficient time for the candle to burn down. He felt a prima fade case had been established, and there would be a committal. Argument fer Defence.

The. evidence presented by the firemen aa to the heat waa of no circumstantial value and there waa no evidence that gas had been used, and an expert chemist, a witness for tha Crown, had stated that if gaa had been used it could have been detected In the debris. It was admitted by tha defence that there was gaaolina on tha premises tor cleaning purpoaea, but It was only being used for that purpose.

There might, have been too much git and sufficient to arouse the suspicion of investigators. Mr. Hughes contended that although electrical experta had Mid the defective wiring in tha atore, which had been ordered out after the Are, could not have auaed tha Bra ha would advance tha theory that it might have been tha origin of the outbreak. Crewna Caae. Raoul MerCier, acting Crown Attorney, who conducted tha prosecution, said tha beat might have been caused" by the burning office partition but at tha same time there was also the possibility that tt might have been due to soma substance used to aeeelerata the flamea.

Tha Crown'e theory was that a candle might have been placed or hidden In such a way as to give ona a chance to get away so that it could bum down and aet fire to tha paper and then to the partition. 'In conclusion Mr. Mercler aald It waa suspicions that Hertz waa the last man in the store on the night before the fire. Analyst Testifies. Principal witnesses at Saturday's hearing was C.

Warren Davia, analyst for the National Research Council. He gave, the result of hit chemical analysis of tha exhibita brought to him by Inspectors in the Ore marshal's office. The two Jars of fluid found in the workshop behind tha office contained gasoline; tha three quart bottles foXinoT on a work bench also, contained a few drops with an odor, suggeatlve of gas and Vry Inflammable. Another Jar containing a fluid waa residual gas, while an examination ofvthe debris from the seat of the lira revealed that there waa no evidence of gas or oil. The wax 'found on the top of the ate, aald Mr.

Davis, was a mixture of" paraffin wax -and other wax used In making ordinary candles. Nod wick could oa rouna in tna wax and he came to the conclusion that the candle was- burned down. It waa the only experiment conducted by him where no wick was left after a candle was burned. If burned by Intense heat, or melted there would be a wick deposit, he said. In reply to a question by Mr.

Hughes witness said that if gasoline had been put on the beaverboard or papers, ft could have been easily detected by test Hydro Inspector. Stephen Waggoner, chief district Inspector for the Hydro Commission, said he had inspected tha electrical work in the Herts atore and there had been no evidence of overheating by the wires carrying an overload. 'He said all the vires had not been Installed according to regulations. In reply to a question by Mr. Merrier, witness said in his opinion the electric, wiring did not cause, the Bra.

To Mr. Hughes witness said he had reached this conclusion on account of the -fact-the insulation on tha wiring waa perfectly good from the distribution panel to the office partition where the Are had started. If there had been an overload the Insulation on the wiring would have been burned off all the wire. Mrs. -Lillian Noble, of 338 Rideau ftreet, testified that she saw Hertz In hia store at 1145 o'clock on the night of July 13, while she was on her way to mail a letter at the Post vmce.
