7 Suits Claim
Man S Body

Two separate suits were filed
in District Court yesterday,
seeking an order for the release
of a body from Freedmen's
Hospital.
One suit was filed by Rose
McWilliams of 1920 U street
NV, claiming that she mar
ried Charlie McWilliams in
1916 and charging that the
hospital will not release his
body for burial despite her
claim that she Is his lawful
widow. She said her husband
died at the hospital Sunday.
The other suit was filed by
Halle o. Williams of 40 I
street NV, who claims that
the body is that Of his father,
who died at the hospital Sun
day.
The suit filed by Halle o.
Williams, also said that Charles
Williams arried Hallie's
mother, Lillian H. Williams,
in 1923 in North Carolina, and
that they were never divorced.
Halle Williams claims in the
suit that the body of Charles
Williams should be released
to his mother for burial.
The son said in a complaint
that his father married Rosa
Justice here in 1916 without
having divorced Lillian Will
liams. According to this COM
plant, Charles Williams in 1860
filed for divorce from Lillian
Williams, but asked that the
suit be dismissed when she
opposed it.
Both complaints said the
hospital had refused to release
the body for burial.
Josiah Lyman, attorney for
Halle Williams, said that
Charles Williams and Charlie
McWilliams are one and the
same man. He said the Rosa
Justice in the suit filed for
Halle Williams is the same as
the Rose McWilliams who filed
the other suit.

everybody was entitled to an

ductor probably warrants a
medal for valor), I very much
fear that the work turned out
to be pretty much of a bore.
Berlioz at his best is utterly
sublime; at his worst he is ut
terly deplorable. Curiously
enough, the dividing line be-
tween best and worst is a very
fine one-here Is q composer
who switches from the beauti-
full to the banal with discon-
certing ease. There are magnif-
icent moments In the Romeo
and Juliet"-the scherzetto for
tenor and chorus. the Romeo
alone" the Queen Nab scherzo
but there are also arid
stretches galore.
Although everyone labored
nightly last night, the score
still failed to come to life.
I have an idea that the fault
may be more with Berlioz than
with the performers.
Among the three soloists,
most interest was centered on
contralto Lii Chookasian, who
just last week made a very sue
cessful debut at the Met. In
her initial Washington appear
ance, however. Miss Chook-
asian was not in the best of
voice. There was considerable
edginess and strain apparent,
more than enough to offset
her obvious power. She was
further handicapped by the
pedestrian quality of her single
solo, clearly one of Berlioz's
less inspired efforts.
Both men are longtime
Washington favorites. Tenor
John McCollum made the most
of his brief appearance with an
effervescent bit of work, and
as usual-Donald Gramm was
quite magnificent in the fus-
tian Friar Lawrence role as
signed him.
The young men from George
town University and the young
women from Mary Washing
ton College sounded, for the
most part, as if they had bitten
off a little more than they
could comfortably chew. Their
singing was wooden and lacked
authority.
The most absorbing parts of
the evening were those during
which the orchestra alone &C.
cupied the spotlight.
It is no doubt a good thing
to hear an occasional Romeo
and Juliet" but I must admit
that this performance did not
inspire me to want to hear an
other in the immediate future.
