Although one grand jury upheld tn

I. Dulaney. "a, in the Staying of william
L. Huff, 25, whom he accused of trying
to break up his home, another Crane
jury will be asked to indict him.
The announcement that Dulaney, th'
father of four children, will have Il
make another fight to retain his free
dom was made last night by United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover.

Mrs. Edward johnson, at 1888 L street
northeast.
Believed Husband Right.
IT don't see why they don't leave
Hurtha alone" Mrs. Dulaney declared
i've always felt he did the right thing
and the grand jury must have thought
So too. or they wouldn't have refused tc
indict him.
I'VE moved here to forget the past
end start life all over again. We told
only our most intimate friends where
We were going, because. We wanted TO be
left alone, to live our own lives and
try to find happiness.
And now the whole thing has to be
revived again. after we had thought II
was settled once and for all"
Father Not Worried.
Mrs. Dulaney's mother. Mrs. Madeline
johnson, expressed herself similarly, as
did her father
I'm not worried. though" johnson
asserted. "I'll spend my last dollar to
defend that boy, because I'm sure he
did only what any other red-blooded
man would have done under the same
circumstances don't see how any
judge or jury could do anything but
acquit him"
AS for Dulaney. he declined to make
any statement explaining he had been
advised not to do so by his attorney,
James A. O'Shea.
Rover decided to submit the case to
the present grand jury, he said. after
Albert A. Huff of Hume Spring, Va,
gave him new information" concern
ing the Staying and the events leading
up to it.
Huff was shot when Dulaney returned
to his home at 1917 II street northeast

Called Police Staten.
Dulaney, street car conductor. all
ready had telepfloned the ninth pre-
policeman be sent TO his home, explain
ing: There's man in my house, and
there's going to be some trouble"
AS the policeman, following Du1aney's
instructions, stood guard in the rear of
the apartment house, the conductor,
with his shoes IN his hands, crept
upstairs and into his fat.
His wife and Huff were in the bed
room, Dulaney later told police, and
the intruder was frantically trying to
open the rear door. A crib, in which
stood between Huff and the door, how
ever. and he whirled to face the irate
husband.
Wife Admits Intimacy.
Dulaney later explained he thought
Huff was about to attack him. At any
rate. he ran to tie bed, reached be-
meath the mattress, pulled out re-
volver and shot his rival, who died a
short time later at Casualty Hospital
At an inquest conducted by Coroner
j. Ramsay hewitt, Mrs. Dulaney pre-
sented a written statement IN which
she admitted having been intimate with
HUFF and sought to shoulder the blame

action Of the grand jury.
That body returned an ignoramus
however, and Dulaney was released. He
rejoined his wife at her parents homo
at 1904 H street northeast and an
nouced that "all is forgiven" They left
the H street address a few days later
moving TO their present residence.
