Leopold Harris, ringleader of the great fire-rais- ing gang, has been released from Maidstone Gaol. He has served only half the sentence of 14 years' penal servitude passed on him in August, 1933.
Five years remission has been earned for the part he played in helping the police trace the rest of the gang.
Further remission has been granted for good conduct.
··Harris, described by the judge at his trials as "that arch-villain," went to gaol broken in health and spirit; he came out fitter than he has ever been.
