Description

Defendants, William Bridgeforth and Willie Davis, were convicted by a jury in the circuit court of Cook County of the offense
of arson and sentenced respectively to not less than 5 nor more than 10 years and not less than 4 nor more than 8 years in
the penitentiary. Their separate appeals have been consolidated for consideration and opinion. The record shows that at approximately 1:30 P.M. on December 14, 1968, a fire occurred in an apartment building located at
609-611 East 50th Street in Chicago. Officer Butler of the police bomb and arson unit testified that his investigation revealed
that the fire started on the rear porch of the second floor and spread upwards and downwards throughout the remaining areas
of the building. Krista Porter, age 11, Jo Ann Falls, age 10, and Yusef Johnson, age 10, said they saw the defendants on the
second floor back porch and saw Davis set a pile of trash afire. Joyce Johnson, age 12, saw the defendants standing next to
the fire. Ella Fisher, an adult, saw the defendants in back of the building and watched Bridgeforth throw a bottle in the
back door.
