MYSTERY AS ID
 WHO FIRED SHOT
MRS. GLOVER, NEE DE VlLLIERS, BANGLES UP CORONER WITH
 STARTLING STORY.
Says Former Husband Drew tte Gun and Handed 1t to Her After He Had Been Fatally Shot.

1 Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 24.-JInable
 to decide who fired inc shots which killed Daniel DevillieTs, of San An 1 tonic, Texas, during his struggle Sun | day evening with Roy l.. Glover, hus- l band Of his former wife, the coroner's l jury returned a verdict today that he met death at the hands of a person unknown. This verdict, according to officials, simply makes it necessary for Glover to present his self-defense plea at a trial in ;he criminal de- partment of the superior court unless the district attorney, after a ninyesti- gation, declines to press the @ase.
 Glover, confident that the coroner's jury would eXonerate him on the tes timony of the former Mrs. Devilliers, had provided a diamond ring as a Christmas present to be given hel'the moment official action today had freed him from custody. But the vet- dict spoiled that plan and while the woman sat weeping in the court room with but wall separating her from the body of her former husband, who had died in a fight over her affec tions, Glover presented the gem to nis wife.
 Mrs. Glover testified that Deviliers, a big, powerful man, had leaped upon her husband She declared she saw him draw a pistol. After the shels were fired and Devilliers lay gasping upon the floor she asserted, the dy ing man gave her his weapon, which she laid on the floor Afterward she gave him drink of water and bathea his face while awaiting the arrival of doctor.
 Mrs. Glover said she married her present husband last October, year after a final decree of divorce from Devilliers had been granted her bS d court at San Antonio, Texas. The
 divorce, she said, was obtained on | the ground of cruelty after Devilliers
 had beaten her several times, once so severely that she was compelled to undergo treatment at hospital. After the divorce she went to New 1 York to the home of her father, a wealthy broker. She said Deyilliers followed her there and told her that
 he would kill any man who presumed to marry her and that the electrlt chair had no terroTs for him.

HARD JOLTS FOR The
BAD BILL COLLECTORS

Protection to persons who place
the collection of debts in the hands
of collection agencies in the state
against existing graft evils is
sought in bills introduced in the
nineteenth general assembly by Rep
reseutative Philbin and Senator
Hits. Under the provisions of the
bills Colorado collection agencies
would be held to rightful fulfill
ment of their contracts in the re-
quirement that they give bonds of
50, ZOO TO $4,000 as security TO their
clients.
Several agencies operating in Col
orado, IL is asserted, collect bad
debts through network of collec-
ton offices in other states, which are
never turned over to the creditors
who are not informed the collection,
but divided pro rata among the col
lectors. The necessity of giving
bonds, it is pointed out, will act as
an elective curb upon the evil.
In other cases, it is claimed, when
a creditor is informed by debtor in
another state. that debt has been
paid, he is obliged to pay such an
eXorbitant fee for the collection that
he is fortunate to receive payment
on o per cent basis The bills
provide heavy penalties for the fail
ure of collection agencies to pay
debts they have collected to creditors
and, a minimum interest for collec-
ton fees clause has been inserted
with figures yet to be determined
The bill is designed to hold collec-
tion offices amenable to an agree
ment to collect debts in their entire
ty or refuse the percentage fee for
the collection.
Agencies under present conditions
accept contracts to collect debts of
several hundred dollars on the basis
that they are to receive so per cent
of the first S100 collected. 1t is
pointed out that this amount is ordi-
narily not difficult to collect from
a number of debts, but the collection
agencies, after receiving the 80 per
cent retained" with comparative
ease. drop further efforts to collect
the remainder il the debtor is hard
prospect.
BY placing agencies under bonds,
contend the drafters of the bills.
they could be forced to live up to
definite, written contracts with their
clients. The bonds would be placed
in the custody of the State treasurer
but the governor and secretary of
state would be the officers to whom
such collectors would be compelled to
answer charges brought against
them.
