Of SMITH

Just one week from the date of
the murder of Leon Smith, 3S, and
the slashing OF his companion, Mrs.
Agnes Garvin. also SO. on the APP
proach to the unused New York
Avenue Bridge, near Camp Meigs,
an inquest will be held today at
the District Morgue into his death.
For the week members OF the
detective bureau homicide squad
attempted a solution Of the strang-
est murder ever perpetrated IN the
District, but are little wiser now
than they were 3 few hours after
the murder.
From the time cf the staying un-
til yesterday, Mrs. Garvin, wife of
Sergt. Michael Garyin, of Boiling
Field, and her son. William Ander-
son, IA years old, were detained by
police, the boy at the house of de
tention and the woman, first under
guard at Casualty Hospital and
then at the house Of detention.
Mrs. Garvin and the boy have
both been required to undergo hours
OF grilling by detectives, but, with
one exception, Mrs. Garvin has up
held her original version of the af-
fair.
She claims. that she was attacked
by an unidentified man and that
Smith, under tho influence of
liquor, was murdered when he
went to her rescue.
The exception is that on the
night Of the double attack, the wo-
man is said to have told police that
her assailant was a huge colored
man, six feet two inches in height,
attired in a blue shirt and over.
ais.
Later, however, she is said to have
denied that she furnished any de-
scription Of the man, claiming that
she did not see him well enough to
tell his color or size.
Yesterday, through Attorney
James A. O'Shea, both the mother
and boy were released on writs d.
habeas corpus, under bonds of
$1,000 each. The writs were issued
when the court was advised that
neither had been charged with any
offense.
The boy has been held because
he admitted that he took a blanket
to his mother and Smith, was seen
to leave a watchman's house with
them. but not seen to return. His
step-father upholds his story that
he returned to his home.

get up again when Dempsey hits
him. And, unless the latter puts
on his old hurricane finisher then
and there, which ] feel he now
lacks, he will be through.
Dempsey's Great Chance
That is Dempsey's great chance,
of course. Nearly everyone realizes
that it is possible for him to win
