Charged with Burning Garage of a Neighbor

Salisbury, Feb. 15—Raymond Leach, white youth, is being held on a charge of burning the garage and chicken house of a neighbor, I.G. Ledwell. The fire occurred last night, and soon afterwards young Leach appeared at police headquarters and related the story of how he had set the fire.

The youth is said to be partially irresponsible, but officers placed credence in his story, and he will be given a hearing tomorrow.
