painter, who died yesterday at
Emergency Hospital from knife
wounds received early Saturday
morning in an alteration with
two of his brothers, was to be held

Held for the inquest is Robert
Walden, 40, a carpenter, of the

a carpenter, of the N Street ad-
dress, is summoned as a matelial
witness.
According to Capt. Ira E. Keck,
assistant chief of the Detective
Bureau, the victim of the fight,
who lived at 1924 Ninth st. N. W.,
came to the N Street address early

$5. The loan was refused and the
younger brother left. Later, how
ever, he returned and taunted his
brother with the statement that
he had obtained the money else
where.

brothers began fighting, and
Harold was stabbed under the left
arm with butcher knife. Reuben
Walden is said to have gone to
