EYE WITNESS ACCUSES POLICE:
THEY PROMISED NOT TO SHOOT
SISTER OF SLAIN WAR VET SAYS
Shell Man
Killed Like DOg,'
Board Told

An eye witness story of how her
brother was shot and killed by
policemen last March was related
to the Police Trial Board today
at it's investigation into the death
of Leroy Keys, crazed colored war
veteran, by Mrs. Lottie Mitchell,
1873 T ST. N. w.
Mrs Mitchell, sister of the dead
man, wept as she told how Police
men R. M. Henry and John Nally
opened fire on her brother.
ACTED AS SHIELD
She jumped in front of one of
the officers when he first drew
his gun and the policeman prom
ised her he would not shoot her
brother, Mrs. Mitchell testified.
She said her brother was she'll
shocked war veteran and believed
the policemen were Germans.
Inspector James Beckett was
asked whether he believed the
two officers should have con-
suited a superior before opening
fire. Under the circumstances,
Beckett said, it would have been
impossible for the men to consult
a superior officer.
But" he added, 1T might
have been a different story if
a superior officer had been on
the scene"
HOUSE THREATENED
Capt. Arthur Miller, Of the
Third precinct, testified he arrived
at Keys home, in the 2400 block
Of Ontario Rd. N. W., after the
shooting. Witnesses told him,
Captain Miller said, that the Off
GERS did not open fire until after
Keys barricaded himself in his
room and set fire to a curtain
which threatened to ignite the
house.
Defense Attorney James O'Shea
attempted to shake Mrs. Mitchell's
testimony, pointing out that her
statements given at the second
inquest into her brothers death
clashed with the story she told
at the first inquest.
