By August as Firm

a refund of 10 cents per month for
each month they were Pepco Gus
toners between March /, 1914, and

fused to review the case.
A PUG decision still is pending on

attorney, was ordered held for the
grand jury today by a coroner's
jury which heard witnesses describe
the shooting on May 16 which re-
suited in the deaths Of Policeman
Hubert w. Estes and Ray E. Deven-
dorf.
After Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald called a dozen witnesses to
the District Morgue to describe the
gun battle, which started in the
civil division of Municipal Court
and ended three blocks away at
Sitxh and F streets NV, Williams
asked permission to make a state
ment.
He said he wished to make it
plain to the six men on the jury
that he had been previously admit
ted to law practice before the Su
preme Court, and consequently need
not have applied for permission to
practice in the District.
The shooting began in the office
of George Dalzell, secretary of the
Committee on Admissions and
Grievances of the District bar, with
whom Williams had been arguing
about the return of money he had
deposited in connection with his
application for admission to the
bar here.
Williams made no other state
ment on the stand to explain his
actions, but a statement made by
him while he was in Gallinger Hos
pital recovering from wounds suf-
fered in the gun battle asserted
that he acted in elf-defense. This
was read at the inquest.
Mr.. Dalzell, who suffered gunshot
wounds in the chin and right shoul-
