RICHARD 1 COLE FREE
GOVERNMENT UNABLE TO PRO
DUCE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
Was. Held bysCosoner's Jury for; Muir
der Of MraE Dennis-Nolle
Fros.rEntered.

Richard Coles the only individual taken
into custody inaconnection with the murder
of Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis, was today re-
stored to liberty He is colored youth,
and was employed by Mrs Dennis as porter
at her dressmakfng establishment on K
street. The coroner's jury that sat during
the recent inquest over the remains Of Mrs.
Dennis directed that Cole be held to await
the action of the grand jury, on the charge
Of being responsible for the death OF his
former employer.
Through Attorney John w. Patterson,
Cole. several weeks ago filed a petition for
writ Of habeas corpus, contenddng that his
commitment was not in accordance with
law, andAthat, therefore, he was being tlie-
gally detained by the warden OF the Dlstrlct
JAIL After several postpoH1ments the case
was reached today in Criminal Court NO. L.
Mr.. Ashley NJ. Gould, United states at
torney for the District of Columbia, an
nounced to the court that his attention had
only a few minutes before been directed
to the fact that in the petition for witt
certain police officials were accused OF nav
ing formed a conspiracy against Cole. Mr.
Gould severely criticised counsel for the
petitioner for having advanced such state
ments The United States attorney then
paid tribute to the local police, and es-
pecially commended the force for its en-
ergettc and thoroughly proper work IN
endeavoring to solve the Dennis mystery.
After Justice Anderson had granted a
motion made by Mr. Gould that the petition
for writ of habeas corpus be dismissed, the
United States attorney announced that he
had decided to noIIe pros. the charge. MI
Gould explained that he had carefully in
vestigated the case, but found no evidences
upon which he could conscientiously ask
that Cole be longer held in custody, as not
even prima facie case against the prisoner
had been established.
Cole was thereupon restored to liberty.
The indications are that the identity of
Mrs. Dennis assailant will forever remain
q mystery.
