Paul Swanson, former - attor
ney here, is facing a charge In
Guilford county of attempting to
burn a dwelling owned by him in
High Point. The charge against
Swanson was made by Monroe
Tate, tenant in Swanson’s house,
who claimed that Swanson tried
to burn the house Saturday night.
Swanson was arrested at 3 o’
clock Sunday morning at Wins
ton-Salem as he was loading pap
ers for his daily truck route into
North Wllkeeboro. He denied the
charge and said that he was in
Winston-Salem all evening and
had not seen his tenant or been
to his property since the 28th of
December.
Tate, who signed the warrant
charging arson, told officers that
he and his wife were at home a-
bout 8 o’clock in the evening and
he was positive in his identifica
tion to officers that it was Swan
son who had struck a match to
some old papers which he said
were gasoline soaked and shoved
under the kitchen of the little
house on Roy street.
Tate said his attention was at
tracted to something unusual
happening outside the .hpuse and
that he went out in tfiBef to see
a man strike a match to the pap
er*. 'He said that when, he- ap-
pekred the' man fled but that he
pt^iiM him ■ and struck'' ■■ hilh.
.©Bce; at thait tliae recognizing
hijn, he told police, as Swahaon,
his landlord, before the latter got
into hW-oaf and drove away.
Tate said that hO‘went at once
to police headquarters and re
ported the incident 'and had
sworn out the warrant Charging
Swanson with the crllne. Two of
ficers went at once to Winston-
Salem and found Swanson there
preparing to undertake his morn
ing delivery route.
Swanson vigorously denied the
charge and said that he would
bo able to prove that he was in
Winston-Salem all Saturday eve
ning. He said that he had had
trouble with Tate over collection
of rent oil his’property and had
told him that unless he Paid his
rent more promptly he would
have to ask him to move. He
safd that at one time he'sought
to secure his rent by a mortgage
on Tate’s radio but that Tate and
his wife had refused to secure
him in that or any other way for
rent.
