MERCHANT ARRESTED Spartanburg Man Charged With Set ting Fire to Store Spartanburg, March - 8. ? Charged with setting fire to the store of the S. A. & E. company, local clothier, March 2, Abe Meyerson, president, was arrested here this afternoon. Ho was later released under $2,500 bond. The arrest followed investigations made by a detective sent by John J. McMahan, state insurance commis sioner,' at the request of local au thorities, the commissioner informed The Herald by long distance tele phone. The loss through the fire was placed by Meyerson in a statement made to newspapers on the night it occurred at $-10,000 to $45,000. He > * -X said then it was covered by insur&pce. The affidavit to the warrant charges that Meyerson "poured a liquid, inflammable gas or kerosene over the stock of the establishment,, so that when the fire was ignited it covered the entire building almost simultaneously." Further than declaring his inno cence and that he expects to estab lish that innocence at a trial, Meyer son refused to discuss the charge against him witfh newspaper men. The publication in the London Times of a charge that Virginia had repudiated her bonds has brought a denial from Ro swell Page, of Rich mond, Virginia, and a challenge to produce any repudiated bond.
