Abstract

Virgil Smith, 19, of Portland, yesterday admitted to setting the December 3, 1992, fire that killed four tenants in an apartment house on Munjoy Hill in Portland, and claimed that two men helped him. Smith's remarks came at his sentencing, during which Justice Paul A. Fritzsche imposed a 36-year sentence for arson and 58-year sentences for each of the murder charges, with the sentences to run concurrently. The two men Smith identified as having helped him, Michael Grant and Daniel Novak, denied involvement with the fire. Details.
