A District grand jury yestef-
day ignored a homicide charge
against one of three men who
had been accused in the Staying
OF John A Ref. a 20-year-old
Gallaudet student. last Deem
Der 81.
The grand jury ignored the
homicide charge as to Albert
Nicely, 38. Negro, of the 200 block
Of Ascot place NE. The action
exonerates Nicely in connection
with the students death.
Nicely was merely driver of the
automobile in which the other
two accused were riding had
nothing to do with the Staying,
according to Assistant United
States Attorney John c. Con-
lift, Jr.
A homicide charge against the
other two is still pending before
a grand jury, Mr.. Conliff said.
The other two are Joe G.
Metoyer. jr., 26. of the 2100
block of Nineteenth street NV,
and Charlie w. Harris. 81. of
the $500 block of Fourteenth
street NV, both Negroes.
Ref was shot in the head
and badly beaten after he and
other Gallaudet students had
gone to an automobile occupied
by the three men, thinking there
was a robbery attempt.
The students said they were
on their way to an all-night res
taurant near the college about
2 am. when they observed the
trio at the automobile. When
they went to investigate, they
were rebuffed and started to
walk on. they said.
When the car remained in the
area, two of the students returned
to it. AS they approached one
of the men got out of the car
and chased them, they said. AS
they ran, their pursuer chased
them and fired a shot which
struck Mr.. Ref in the back of
the head.
At a coroner's inquest, one of
the students, Roger F. Fender
graft, 81. of Marlin, Tex, named
Harris as the man who had
beaten Mr.. Ref and pointed out
Metoyer as the one who fired
the shot.

plan and build It instead Of a

The tunnel project would cost
about 1884 million II left at foul
