Counsel for Gill

Mr.. Huff, who held the double jot
of District penal superintendent ano

rived in July, 1914, will not be called
as a witness for the Board of Pub
lie Welfare, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Chester H. Gray has an
nounced.
Defense Attorney John j. Wilson
sought the right to call him as a
hostile witness. The Board of In
quiry hearing 16 charges of ineffici-
ency against Mr.. Gill ruled the de-
tense can call Mr.. Huff, but Mr.
Huff will have to prove himself to
be a hostile witness before the de-
Tense can cross-examine him.
Board Won't Call Him.
Mr.. Wilson said today he has not
decided whether to call Mr.. Huff on
that basis. Walter M. Bastian, chair
man of the Inquiry Board, said ii
definitely would not" call Mr.. Huff
although it has the power to do So
The Inquiry Boards ruling raises
a problem for the defense, which is
trying to prove that Mr.. Huff act
ually was responsible for the charges
filed by the Welfare Board. But an
attorney does not have the right
to attempt to break down the testi-
mony Of its own witness, unless
proven hostile to the defense.
Mr.. Bastian said he could not
comment on whether Mr.. Huff would
prove himself to be hostile to the
defense by saying that he supports
the charges of the Welfare Board
Although he is Mr.. ellis superior
Mr.. Huff had nothing to do with
preparation of the charges, Mr.. GRAY
ms intains.
After almost three weeks of testi-
mony. Mr.. Gray said he hopes to
complete the case against Mr.. Gill
tomorrow. He has only two more
witness. both employees of the Dis
trict Jail, to call.
Engineer Questioned.
John G. Sherwood, chief engineer
at the Jail, was questioned yester-
day about pile of metal found bv
Mr.. Gill in the attic above cell
block /, following the escape of five
prisoners from the Jail on Novem-
Der "a.
Pressed by Mr.. Wilson, he said it
was possible but not probable" for
a trusty to slug a guard in the attic
and escape from the Jail. The We'll
fare Board charges that Mr.. Gill
reprimanded his staff on December
in manner that would make
impossible future cooperation be-
tween the staff and Mr.. Gill" The

tore up their uniforms, sat on

Doctor, Dentist Make
Plea for Office Space
In Residential Area

A plea for Office space in a resi-
Dental area for two veterans, one
physician, the other a dentist,
who were promised the moon" but
could find no professional location
here, was placed today before the
Board of Zoning Adjustment.
The appeal was by DR.. A. Fife
Heath to permit DR.. Hugh Trey, a
former Army physician, and DR..
Frank Wallace, dentist, to work
with him at 1888 Monroe street NE.
DR.. Trey is the son and DR.. Wal
lace the nephew of Elmer L. Trey,
chief co-ordinator of Treasury en-
forcement agencies.
DR.. Heath told the board he had
built the residence in 1886 with
basement office for himself. He
said he now rents the house but
uses the basement Office. Under his
plan, he testified, he and DR.. Trey
would use the two lower floors, while
the dentist would use the top floor.
Are you aware that the law re-
quires you to live in the house if
you use a part Of it as your office?"
asked Robert o. Clouser, board
member.
Said He Didn't Know Law.
DR.. Heath said he was not aware
of the law at the time he first
rented the premises. He said he
had considered it selfish for one
person to occupy the six-room home
when housing was SO scarce. He
said he rented it on advice Of a
real estate dealer who he believed
was familiar with the law and found
living quarters elsewhere. Many
other doctors. he added, have done
the same thing.
DR.. Heath told the board he had
known the two young veterans since
their childhood days when they
were members of his Boy Scout
troop. He said they were prom
Used the moon" when they went
into the Army but now were unable
to find facilities in which to practice
their professions.
Mr.. Trey testified for his son and
nephew, describing the difficulties
in finding Office space.

Built Residence Himself.
w. A. Eisenhart of the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens Association
told the members he wanted to place
his group on record as opposing any
coming changes in the area, but did
not necessarily oppose this partic-
ular project, which could be bene-
fit to the neighborhood.
DR.. Trey filed with the board a
statement favoring the proposal,
which he said was signed by all but
one of the residents of Monroe
street between Eighteenth and
Twentieth streets NE. The prop
erty, it was said, is across the street
from the Burroughs School.
The case was the first of % ap-
peals from zoning regulations due
to be heard by the board today.

 IN FBI CUSTODY
 ON spy CHARGES

SEATTLE, June 13.-Lt. Nicolai G. Redin of the Russian Navy, was re-arrested today on a new secret indictment charging espionage against the United States. The true bill named Herbert Kennedy, g Todd Pacific Shipyard engineer, as having been induced by Redin to obtain information about the des- troyer tender Yellowstone built here.
 Allan Pomeroy, assistant District Attorney, said Kennedy, on vacation in Canada, would be produced in court June 25, as government witt ness against Redin.
 Redin entered a new plea of in nocence today, and his attorneys, Tom E. Griffin, Seattle, and Irwin Goodman, Portland, issued state ment to the press that the witt ness tKennedy) happens to be not an American citizen but British subject. We were rather confident that no American citizen could or would make a charge against Lieut. enant Redin."
 The new indictment covers and corrects the fourth count of the original indictment, dismissed last month by District Jurge Lloyd L. Black, because t failed to name any person. and failed to state the name of the person whom Redin was alleged to have induced" The Federal Bureau of Inyestiga- tion here and Pomeroy declined to comment on the part Kennedy played in the cast against Redin.
 Friends described Kennedy as a resident of the University District here, about 53 years old, with a wife and four young children. They said he was Scottish-born but had spent most of his adult life in America and came here about four years ago.
