[A wonderful typo in the headline - they mean firebug.]

“Five-Year Sentence for Incendiarism,” Toronto Globe. February 4, 1919. Page 05. --- Woodstock Youth is Given Chance To His Trouble Cured. --- (Special Despatch to The Globe.) Woodstock, Feb. 3. - Leslie West, who, according to his own confession, fired the barn on the farm rented by his father, Thomas West, on the morning of January 1 last, was this morning sentenced to Kingston Penitentiary for five years with hard labor. Magistrate Ball explained to the unfortunate boy that while the term was for five years, it would depend on himself as to whether he should have to spend that length of time in confinement. The minimum penalty for arson was two years, he said, but he explained that the sentence of imprisonment was imposed more as a curative measure for the boy’s trouble. It seems, according to the doctor’s examination, that the boy was not really responsible for his actions at the time the deed was done. West claimed he started the fire in the barn with the intention of extinguishing the blaze before it secured much headway, thereby bringing himself into prominence. However, the blaze got beyond his control, and the barn, with the contents, was totally destroyed.
