Argument against restricting the street speed of fire apparatus came to Commissioner Oyster today in a let- ter from George A. Giddens, 69 Flori- da avenue, whose family was carried to safety by firemen a few days ago. Mr. Giddens' letter to Fire Chief Wat- son follows: “I wish to take this opportunity, through you, to commend the members of No. 4 truck company, under the com- mand of Battalion Chief John Hanlon, on the ekillful and efficient manner-in which they handled the fire at my resi- dence, 69 Florida avenue northwest, at 3 _o'clock on the morning of February 23.

The jury was out but ten minutes when it returned with its verdict. Tmmediately after the verdict Mrs. i Cordes, after being congratulated by her counsel and a number of rela. tives, left the courtroom g free wom an, accompanied by her husband. Testimony of Woman. According to the testimony of Mrs. Cordes, she had known Ehrmantraut for the past three vears and he was extremely Jjealous of her. On one occasion Ehrmantraut, after she moved from Washington to Alexan- dria, went into a bathroom of a house on North Alfred street and turned on the gas and appeared to | be unconscious when she discovered him. Witness sald she threw water on his face and he came to. On another occasion, she testifled Ehrmantraut accused her of belng out wiffi her own husband. The woman further testified that when she showed Ehrmantraut m letter written her by her husband Ehrman- traut said: “You must have been mighty nice or else he would not | have written it.” ! Denfes She Wanted Divorce. The woman denied that she had ar- raiged to obtain a divorce. On New Year eve, the afternoon the shooting occurred, she said Ehrmantraut, upon entering her house, said, “Your hus- band is over on the Ctorner.” Before Ehrmantraut came upstairs, where she was 11l in bed with grip, witness sald, she heard hammering, and Eht- mantraut told her he was nailing the windows. When she told him she ex- pected her husband at 6 o'clock, Ehr- mantraut, she said, remarked, “We both will be dead.” According to Mrs. Cordes, Ehrmantraut then went to the dresser and pulled out a pistol and started to choke her, but not suf- ficient to hurt, her. He pointed the pistol at her head, she declared, and in some manner it went off, and he remarked, “My God, it has gone off.” The bullet, she declared, embedded ft- self in the wall. A tussie for the possession of the weapon followed, according to Mrs. Cordes, and it was then that the revolver went off, shoot- ing Ehrmantraut. Ktter the shooting Ehrmantraut, she said, remained at her home about an hour. She sald she sent for a physician, but was unable to get one. On _cross-examination Mrs. Cordes said she was married in 1913 and had known Ehrmantraut since 1920. — NAVAL OFFICER DIES. R | Special Dispatch to The Star. ¢ HERNDON, Va.
