A newspaper placard dated Wednesday, June 11, 1913, with the headline, 'Miss. Lenton's Reappearance.' Lilian Lenton (1891-1972) was arrested under the name 'May Dennis' in Doncaster on 9th June and remanded. She was charged with setting fire to 'Westfield', a house at Balby, at Leeds Assizes and sent to Armley Jail. She went on hunger strike and after several days was released, although not forcibly fed. Lilian was a notorious 'Mouse' who evaded police capture several times. In an interview in the 1950s, she boasted that her aim was to burn two buildings a week, 'when not in prison.' She was imprisoned along with Olive Wharry in March 1912 for burning down the tea pavillion in Kew Gardens.
