CONSUL WINS APPEAL.

Christian Diamantopoulos, Greek
consul, yesterday won his fight to act
as sole administrator of the estate of
Thomas Pappas, a Greek subject, who
was murdered in his restaurant last
March. The estate is valued at SIS 900.
Justice Hoehiing of the District Su-
preme Court offered the consul q Joint
appointment with Peter Glekas. an
American citizen, named by William
Pappas. a brother, but the diplomat
declined, claiming the sole right to
administer under the treaty between
the United States and Greece. Glekas
was then appointed and Diamantopou-
los appealed.
Chief Justice Martin in reversing the
action of the lower court and directing
the appointment of the Greek consul
declared that the discretion of the
court did not apply when there is a
person entitled exclusively to admin
ister The right is a valuable one, the
court suggested, and should not b
taken away.

 We heard portions of a popular piano recital by Glenn Robinson from WBZ, Springfield. but there was considerable static and we didn't stay a great while. This was also true of WGY, Schenectady, al- though we fared better at that sta ton.

 From WTIC we also heard a banjoist, boy soprano, a lyric tenor and a pianist, these being among the "Debs."

From WIZ late in tho evening came I've Found New Baby and I'm Lonely Without You" as played by Harold Stern's orchestra, the station coming in better at that time than it did early in the evening"
 We shut off several times in the course of the evening, due to the static. and we finally quit for good at about 11:30 o'clock. It was too much for our tender ears. We fig ured that we'd let the noise have full sway and we ingloriously retired, ,ab- solutely beaten.

WOMAN IN
CASE HIS
WIFE

II want to make a clean
breast of the whole affair. "
This statement by "Rev. !"
Earl Betty, Washington street
preacher, led to his arrest in
connection with the death of
Private Harry Miller and the
shooting Of Ernest johnson.
Betty will be given his
chance to make a clean
breast later today when he
will be questioned by Depart
ment Of Justice agents at the
Arlington county Jail.
Discount His Statement
Fort Myer authorities look upon
the sidewalk evangelist as being
either demented or a notoriety
seeker. Other Investigators, how
ever, are of the opinion that
Betty may be trying to cover up
the connection of Johnson and the
latter's companion, Marion Ethel
Gray, with the shooting of Miller.
Had Been Living Together
When taken into custody last
night by Robert Dye, Arlington
Cemetery superintendent and Army
officers, Betty declared he was
Miss Gray's husband. Although he
had no proof of this. 1t vas learned
that Miss Gray and the preacher
had been living together as man
and wife for a number Of years.
Betty was wearing a private de-
tective's badge when arrested. A
few DAYS ago he was held for ques-
tioning in connection with the case
and at that time asserted he was
a. Department OF Justice agent.
Search was made today for two
men who were seen examining the
scene of the shooting OF Johnson.
They were looking at a spot in the
cemetery, near where Miller'S body
had been found, "a hours later. 1t
has been determined that Miller's
body had not been moved in the sc
hours it was in the cemetery before
being found by soldiers, and so
must have been seen by those two
unidentified men.
May Give Suicide Verdict
Officers at Fort Myer indicated
today that they were inclined to
return a verdict of suicide in the
Miller shooting If no further EVIL
dence is soon found to support a
murder or accidental shooting
theory.
Capt. Albert Bowen, in charge Of
the Army board Of inquiry, declared,
however, that the investigation will
not be rushed. No findings in the
case will be reported, he said. until
every angle OF the double shooting
has been Investigated.
Meanwhile. property owners and
officials of Arlington country are
up in arms against the conditions
which have existed for several years
