"It is beyond any power to determine any origin or cause for the strange fires," said Dr. C. L. Rogers, Alva Physician. The Alva physician was also quoted as saying, "I appears impossible that Mrs. Smith could have set the fire herself."

Chemical action from medicine, strange wiles phenomena and other theories were advanced as possible causes of the reported fires.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
