In the District Courts.

The grand jury yesterday ignored a
complaint of murder against William H.
Perry. an inmate of the Government Hos
pital for the Insane, charged with killing
Philip Mould, another patient. The COM
plant was to the effect that the two men
quarreled over a mirror and that Mould
died as a result of injuries received at
the hands of Perry. Other indictments
returned were: William Clark and Hor-
ace Butler, depreciation on private prop
erty; Fred Cook, Fred Joyce, and Thomas
Carter, second offense of petit larceny;
Mabel Smith, perjury.
