Tuesday having been designated as the
time for a preliminary examination III the
case of John Velotti, charged with shooting
John Cook near Great Falls two weeks ago,
the prisoner was brought out of Jail and
taken before Justice Morgan. Some half
dozen persons who witnessed the shooting
were present and prepared to give their
version of the affair, but owing to the alb
sence Of Dr. Pulliam, who has been attend
ing the wounded man since the occurrence,
it was deemed better to postpone the hear
ing until he could be present and give
statement OF the actual condition of the
wounded man. The hearing was postponed
until next Monday.
Willie Chedal Killed-A fatal acci-
dent under peculiarly distressing circum-
stances happened at Washington Grove, on
the Metropolitan Branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, about noon today.
Willie Walter Chedal, the seventeen. year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Chedal, was
run over and killed by passing train.
Mr.. Chedal is a bookbinder in the govern
ment printing office and has been living at
Washington Grove for about three months,
coming in to his work every morning and
returning in the evening. The unfortunate
boy was their only son, and he was en-
ployed at Gaithersburg, only short dis
tance from Washington Grove
He did not go to work this morning, as
there was nothing for him to do, and so he
spent the morning at the station with Mr..
White, the train dispatcher.
A train for the city had stopped at the
station and the young man assisted in TAX
ing baskets from the baggage car.
When he had finished he started across
the track and an excursion train for Harper's
Ferry struck him. Although his legs were
nearly severed from his body and he was
otherwise badly mutilated he was still alive
when picked up. He was also conscious,
and when taken into the station every one
present was moved to tears when the sufferer
said "Pray for me-"
Three physicians were soon at his side, but
he was beyond medical skill. The Rev. A. H.
was also there and talked with
the dying boy, who seemed perfectly happy,
his last words being "Jesus is mine"
He was placed on a train to be brought
here to hospital, but he died soon after the
train started. His body was brought here
and taken to the morgue. Later the re-
mains were prepared for burial and re-
moved to No. 720 I'd street northeast, where
the heart broken parents were
Mr. Chedal says that from the information
he received the train was an extra and the
whistle was not blown. He says that his
son was well acquainted with the time the
regular trains were due and that is why he
started across the track at that time, think
ing, of course, that the track was clear.
When the accident happened Mrs. Chedal
was in the field, in sight of the train, pick
ing blackberries. When the news of the
killing spread through the grove Mrs. Jas.
Garter and her young daughter were not
far from Mrs. Chedal, and the little child,
turning to her mother, said mamma, l
hope it isn't Willie Chedal."
A few minutes later the sad news reached
the young mans mother, who FASTENED to
the station and then came in on the train with
him. Mrs. Carter accompanied her WASH
