Today all that the police of Wash
ington are positive of is that the body
OF Norval r. Harris was found on ]
street early Sunday morning, August
2S, and that the gun with which he
was killed is missing.
To prove to the satisfaction of the
people of the District that Harris
killed himself they must begin all over
and this being the case it is more
than probable that the detectives may
now be willing to join in the general
demand for an inquest that should
bring out important facts and may
positively establish the cause of Har-
ris' death.
Roberts says he had not been for
hidden by any officer to tell what he
knew, but declared that he was never
asked 10 make report in wriSing Of
his information, although he told all
he knew of the matter to Office Grant
at the direction of the lieutenant
ROBBERS story is even verified by the
police report. Harris. negro watch
man, was sitting in front OF the Ar
mour stables with friends until after
u O'Clock, and Roberts says Harris
and his party were the negroes he
was watching.
