FIRE ‘HERO’ IS ARSONSUSPECT Confession Obtained From Parent-Rescuer. An acclaimed hero, who rescued his wife and children from their burning home a few weeks ago, had fallen today and was confronted by a jail sentence. No longer praised by neighbors for braving the flames, Grover Morgan, 37, of 25 North Riley avenue, today was charged with arson, alleged to have fired his home to collect insurance on the furniture. At the time of the fire, Morgan, his wife and their daughters Emma Marie and Eva, 7, lived at 1747 West New York street. When firemen arrived they were told how Morgan, returning from work late at night, had seen the fire, entered the other half of the double house and climbed into his bedroom by way of the roof, rescuing his wife and children. However, Detectives Louis Fossetti and Patrick Roache and attaches of the fire prevention department, said they have obtained a confession from Morgan in which he admitted firing the house. It is said he admitted walking around the block after starting the fire, arriving in time to stage the thrilling rescue. Morgan had been out of work several weeks, detectives learned, and immediately started a proba of the blaze after insurance company officials said he had obtained insurance on the furnishings less than thirty days before the fire.

LEGS DIAMOND IS ARRESTED IN TORTURE CASE Applejack War Held Motive for Feud; Unidentified Man Found Dead. By United Prut CATSKILL, N. Y., April 22.While Jack (Legs) Diamond, notorious gangster, was held here today charged with torturing a farmer, police sought a solution of the mysterious slaying of a man whose body was found in a pond near Fishkill. Diamond was arrested by state troopers after Grover Parks accused the gangster and several members of his gang of hanging him to a tree and applying hot brands to his feet. He said he was delivering a consignment of hard cider when he was seized. Police believe the friction between Diamond and Parks to be an offshoot of a sued arising from the applejack monopoly which has turned the quiet Catskills into a veritable gangland stronghold. The man whose body was found submerged in several feet of water has not been identified. Diamond sought release on bail immediately after his arrest, but Justice Bliss refused, allowing him five days for the filing of a demurrer.
