Miller, Who was shot last Wednesday on F street, near 9th, and died yesterday: W. H. Douglass, Robert Teltch, H. J. EisenbetsefL. H. Hopkins, Thomas ‘Walsh and John J. Hogan. ‘The jury viewed the remains at Speere’s under- taking establishment, and at 1 o'clock assembled at the first precinct police station to take testi- mony. Major Walker sat with his brother, the ac- cused, in the room while the testimony was being taken. District Attorney Worthington was also Present. ‘Mr. Wim. A. Cook and Mr. D. E. Cahill, counsel for Walker, were present. Mr. Cahill ie ceil nent enc Bt nt fore ul ‘Would leave the case entirely with the coroner. THE TESTIMONY. ‘The frst witness was H. W. Cragin. He said he was sitting in his office at 914 F street a little after one o'clock last Wednesday, when he was ‘startled by rapid firing. He threw up his window and looked out, The firing had stopped, but the Parties struggied into view. Miller seemed to be struggling to get ion of the pistol. He saw Malar strike at Miller with his pistol three or four times and hit him in the he The parties then seemed to be exhausted, ‘The crowd rushed in. Walker was arrested and Miller was taken to the drug store, cur ie drug Mr. Atgyie Mackey, a young man about twenty. years oid the next witness, said the Catan Ang red about twenty minutes after one o'clock. Hits back was turned, he ‘when the first shot was fired. He turned ai and saw two men, one with a stick uplifted the other with a pistol, which he was firing. ‘They seemed to be going around and around, Witness rushed towards them, but four or five shots fred before he gotthere, (Miller was forced oft in the snow in he street, When witness got there Mil- ler said: ” “Take his 1.” Witness then closed with Walker and mai to wrest the pistol from him. Miller, he said, had ala ‘stick, Dut he geemed to witness to be strik- ‘ing at the pistol in Walker's hand. He saw Wal- ker strike Miller once with the pistol, ‘The wit- ness Was unable to tdentity Walker, He said he saw only that fone man had a light moustache and the other & beard. ‘The witness said that he took the pistol home with him, It was a seven. ‘shooter 32-calfber. He found five chambers fired and one cartridge had been snapped upon. John T. Silence, the next wit was standing, he said, near Holtzman’s building. en he hea a shot fired he turned and saw twomen, one firing and the other with a cane. After fouror five shots fired the taller man, thé man with the cane backed the other to the car track, There the smaller man fell and the taller fell upon him. ‘There they stayed until the crowd came around and seperated them. When they were down the manon top was striking, the witness thought he was trying to knock the pistol from the other man’s hand, 2 John Crenten, an elderly gentleman, the next witness, aaw tile two men meet, he ‘said. One man, hé said, raised nis cane in his hand ina threatening way. The witness here illustrated by litting his ‘umbrella, ‘They said something, the witness did not hear. ‘Then he satd a shot’ was fired. ‘The man with the cane struck the other manon the side of the head. ‘Then fqur other shots were fired. ‘The larger man with the cane did not seem to be hurt, and witness thougnt there was notning in the atall. The lar man, Who seemed tobe the stronger, forced the man’ with the pistol into the street. “Was the cane raised,” asked the coroner, “be- fore a shot was fired?” “Yes, sir,” sald the witness, Proceeding, the witness said that when he first saw the men they were rushing yher—one with the pistol held out, the other with his cane uplifted. The witness Be ed out the prisoner as one of the combatants. He said he could not swear, but believed he was one of the men. The stick carried by Miller—a stout and rough hickory stick—was shown, and the witness said he believed that was the stick, He saw Miller walking very fast just before the encounter. The witness, who was an old soldier, sald the men were about two feet from the “para- 4” when they encountered each other. He meant, he curbstone. Dr. John F. Hartigan, who made the autopsy at the Emergency hospital yesterday, assisted by other physicians, sald there were four scalp wounds on the left sideof the head, I as though they were made by the butt of a pistol. ‘There were two pistol shot wounds, one a flesh rea ee CS The fatal shot putered ee nt side of abdomen, passed upwards, fracturing the eighth rib, and wae then ‘achected downwards and backwards through a portion of theliver, then passed through the lower part of the stomach and assed out on the other side of the body about two inches below the point of entrance. The hemor- rhage following the wound of the liver and the inflammation resulting, together with the wound of the stomach, caused death, ~ Cornelius Campbell, a colored man, testified that he witnessed the shooting, and that Miller ha his back turned to Walker when the defendant be- gun firing at him, “T was siting in my office, near the scene of the shooting,” Said Mr. Hosea B, Moulton, “when my attention Was attracted tothe street by the re- port of two pistol shots, fired in rapid succession. looked into the street ‘and saw Walker brandish: ishing a revolver, which he continued to tire at Miller, who was then approaching him with a cane uprated in his hands." ‘Matthew McCully, the next witness, sald he was standing at the corner of 9tn street when he beard the pistol shots. He ran up and found the men Iying in the snow. Mr. Walker satd immediately “T shot him in self defense; if I had not done lt he would have killed me.” James M. Tinker, the hext witness, sald he had a conversation with Miller on the 3d or 4th of this month at the Evans dining-room.

President Leitch, Superintendent Cathell and Secretary G, W. Cropley, of the Georgetown Gas company, were on hand, 05 were also Mr. Wm. B. Orme, repre. senting Mr. Bartol, a heavy owner of the George. town gas stock, and Mr. Stephen Brown. STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT LEITCH. Mr. Leitch, in behalf of the company, read a written statement setting forth the fMnancial status of the company, its operations, capacity, 4c. He also submitted all the books and papers of the company. He declared that the company had voluntarily reduced the price of gas at different tic oeaut aa jeg a oe rt Benen ot stockholders and patrons. "He sald that ‘since 1880, after paying expenses, and by observ— ing the most rigid economy in all matters, the company had been able to pay only. semi-annual dividends of five per cent, and that it had not been able to save any genctes, He gave th and said that they are every year com| laborers for street Work, and this ture amounted last year to $725.40. ‘The company, according tothe president's statement, makes pure coal uses nothing but coal, with lime to purify 1, Last yearit consumed 2,473 tons of coal, at $4.45 perton.

He thought it would be untalt to old that company to & rate of prices maintained in Washington by a company supply. ing 200,000 people and 5,000 street lamps. cotmpaniy could make and supply 30 per cent more loved, i iv could get the patronage, Ail the coun- ploy Get the patronage.

In reply to 4 question he said the stock is valued at $25 per Share, and that the full value of each share had Deen paid in, WHAT THE COMPANY PROPOSES. Mr. Leitch said that in anticipation of cheap gas, realizing that it must come, he had been in communication with parties looking to the adop- ton of cl methods. In order to meet all re- quirements a bill had been prepared and would be presented to Co asking authority to increase he capital and stock of the company. Requests for extension of mains beyond the city limits and along the Tenleytown road had been made, He did not know that-the charter would allow it, and, to get proper authority to make such improve: ments and extensions as may be needed, Congress will be asked to authorize an increase, Either that, he said, or money must be borrowed, 45 TO MERGING THE COMPANIES, During the reading of Mr. Leitch’s statement the citizens committee, appointed at the Georgetown. meeting last night, entered the room, Mr. J. D. Cathell, superintendent of the company for 33 Years, since its establishment, sald the gas is in- ‘Spectéd daily by the governinent inspector, and must Be kept up to the 16-candie power standard, He knew of no complaint as to quality, but heard of a good deal of complaint about the’ price. He see no reason why the mains of the Wash- ington and Georgetown company could not be con- nected, so as to Inerge the companies, at small ex- nse.” That was in reply toa question by r. ‘Mr. G. W. Cropley said he had been the secretary for tweive years at a nominal salary, as his duties are merely nominal. ‘There had always been com- plaints to a greater or léss extent about the price SPEAKING FOR THE PBOPLE. Ex-Commisstoner Josiah Dent, speaking for the citizens’ committee, said the people of Georgetown think that they should have gas at as low rates as itis furnished in Washington. He had recently, for the first time, been compelled to make com Plaint because his bills were too high. Mr. McIntyre wanted to question the gas officers, Dut the committee declined to introduce that sys- tem; all questions would be put through the in- vestigating committee, Mr. McIntyre complained that in the early hours of the evening he can get no gas from his burners; ‘that only aircomes out; but later the gas im- proves. Mr Brace, a druggtst, stated that his bills call for more gas than is consumed; that he went to the gas inspector, who, after beng supplied with the “pressure point,” of the Georgetown cot ‘said 1 was “ridiculous,” that 1t would make {t ny, pear that each of Brice's burners consumed 12 ste Moloney ind others, of the citi ir.
