The theory that jealousy over “ter- ritorial rights” in Washington's “num- bers” racket was involved in the double shooting Monday night in the 1600 block of Twelfth street had been definitely discarded today by investi gators. The shooting, which ended in death yesterday for one of the victims—Gor- man Wright, 27, colored—has been ad- mitted by Harvey James, 27, also col- ored, according to Lieut. C. H. Lutz of the second precinct. The other victim, Victor Juliano, 26, is in Sibley Hospital with a bullet | ‘wound in the shoulder. Inspector Bernard W. Thompson, | chief of detectives, and Lieut. Lutz dropped the “numbers” theory last night after interviewing other wit- nesses of an argument between Wright and James at Turner’s Arena. Lieut.
