Was He Murdered?

It is now charged that Arthur Sellick, the boy who has been working as water boy on the Ann Arbor storm sewers, and who was burned to death in Jackson, Monday, was murdered. A Jackson dispatch says:

George L. Maier, a brother-in-law of Arthur Sellick, who recently lost his life by the burning of Maier's dwelling, was arrested yesterday charged with murder and arson. Last night a trunk full of bed clothing, books, silverware and the like was found buried in a manure pile close to the house. William Birdsell, a brother-in-law of Capt. Beard, made the discovery. Maier had his house insured a short time ago for $500 and when the fire broke out, he did not show much concern, while Sellick, who was 16 years old, ]umped from a window and turned in an alarm. Maier says nothing, but denies the charge.. He looked terribly frightened when the arrest was made. Other sensational developments are expected.
