SEC RETARY OF XE2? I L-EA9EJ2SEL this year," the secretary replied. “Were those estimates better than previous treasury estimates.” interjected Chairman Pat Harrison, D., Mias. Morgenthau replied that they were: that in 1931, for instance, the figures had been off by 15 per cent. o OLIVER HANNA (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) feeble both in mind and body. He was growing deaf and blind. From the time of the death of his wife he was in the decline of life. “He was eccentric in many ways, not merely socially but in business. From 1932 on he lived alone except for servants. It wasn't strange that he lived much in the past nor that lie often referred to the fall that he had had. He was particular about the lay of the rugs. He had fixed ideas about banking. He kept upwards of a quarter million dollars in bearer securities in a concealed safe in his residence. He was suspicious about callers and parked automobiles. “These may or may not have been delusions. A delusion is a fixed idea not based on fact. But even delusions do not incapacitate one from making a will unless it goes to that question itself. “The evidence shows his attitude toward his children and grandchildren changed markedly. That was sad. And probably no one will ever know of the grief and loneliness there was in tha.t old gentleman’s heart. This, toI gether with all the evidence in the case, is to be considered. The prohibitive value of this change of attitude toward his children depends upon whether there is any basis for such change. In that , connection one must keep In mind that this testator had always preferred to handle his own affairs and particularly that of his investments. “What is there to show that, he did not know of these investigations made as to a possible guardianship? if it did come to his knowledge, hie nature was such that he would have rebelled at the taking away from him the right to manage his own affairs. It may even be that he had suspicions that his beneficiaries would seek to set aside his will. So one cannot say that his change of altitude toward those dearest to him was a delusion. “Many lay witnesses gave their opinions as to his soundness of mind, both for and against. Recognized psychiatrists and physicians, whose ability and integrity 1s not questioned, gave opinions as to senle dementa. The opinions of these lay witnesses are valuable only so far as the fact upon which they are based are proved. While that of the experts are of probitive value only so far as the set of facts upon which the experts have based their opinions are proved. “Senile dementia is but the weakening of the mind by old age. It is a gradual process from the slipping of childishness to a complete loss of mind, from twilight to darkness. And it is not disputed that there are rifts in senile dementia just, as there are in twilight time. When those lucid intervals cbme they sometimes open up from the storehouse of the subconscious mind the experiences of a busy lifetime, and they come • with marked clearness. I “The court is not convinced that

complete dnrknws had set In on Oliver S. Hanna, nor that such a rift or lucid Interval did not interI vene. Those who wore close to Oliver Hunna at the time of di I reeling the making of and the oxfcnb’on of this alleged will, . August 2. 1935, were in a better I position to judge his mentality a.t that time than anyone else. There were present Fred Shoaff. John Shoaff and Tessa Ixive. All three were witnesses In this ease. "Tessa Love expresed an opin1 lon that. Mr. Hanna was of tin- ' Sound mind, which opinion (appears to have been based upon ' incidents other than those at the time particularly in questfagi- On the other band, Fred ShtMiff and John Shoaff based their opinions of sanity In mind on facts directly connect dewith the preparation and the execution so the will and were to the effect that the testator talked coherently and rationally. Who was in a better position to know the condition of Mr. Hanna's mind at that, time than these two gentlemen?" o MAY DAY WILL BE OBSERVED European Nations To Be Scenes Os Celebrations Friday (Copyright 1936, by Vnited Press) Paris, April 30 —(UP) —Commun*. ists and soc ialists, fades unionists | Nazis and fascists completed their' illans today for May Day celebrations in Europe’a capitals tomorrow. Parades, speeches, demonstrations and in some cases the threat j of attempted rev.- Jution marked the plans. In all those countries which still enjoy politi.al freedom, the slogan of the celebrants is “stop fascism"; while in Germany and Austria, Nazis and Fascists, taking over the one time “red” holiday, shouted for totalitarian su<p> .rt of leaders. May Day is not celebrated in Italy under! Fascism; April 21. Rome’s birthday, is the labor holiday. Spain presented the biggest possibility of serious trouble. Work of all kinds will be suspended for the full 24 hours of May Day in the first mass day dem-.nstration of socialists, commun|stsjand syndicalists j since the establishment of the Republic in 1931. The Spanish Marxist youth organization, overriding objections of the Communist party leadership, circulated leaflets urging that the May Day demonstrations in Spain take a revolutionary form. It was under stood the organization iplanned to start disturbances tomorrow even-! Ing. Socialists feared a fascist attack when they inaugurated a ntonu- ‘ ment at Madrid tomorrow to Pablo ■ Iglesias, founder of the Spanish socialist party. The 'chief danger was clashed be-1 tween men of the popular front and ) the Fascist organizations. GUNMEN CAPTURED (FONTTNUF.n FROM PAGE ONE) — —I coursed downward to his back. The gang fled to Chicago in a stolen India.napolis car after the shooting, he said. A woman said to be his wife, Margaret, 21, was arrested with him here and. according to police, was wearing S2OO in jewelry taken from the Lima raid. Jewelry valued a.t $5,000 was found with the arrest of Jack Becker, 30, his wife. Laura, 21, and William Giftman. 26, police said. Becker and Giftman were said to have admitted attempting to sell the stolen jewelry a.nd were described hy Bordon as “fences who’ve done wiork for us before.” The two said earlier they were jewelry salesmen. Two women, Mrs. Doris Goldstein. 35, and another whose name was not learned, were arrested when they appeared at the Becker apartment. They denied a.nv knowledge of the jewelry. Other jewelry, also believed part of the Lima haul, was reported obtained on a northside apartment occupied by Becker's brother. Police would not verify the announcement, however. “The man is really another Dillinger,” Capt. John Stege, onetime head of Chicago's famous Dillinger squad, eaid after questioning Bordon. “His record in the Lima holdup alone would prove that." Bordon was supposed to have disarmed two policemen in Lima and have re-entered a, jewelry store after a Shooting affray in order to finish his robbery. A .44 calibre pistol found in the car which they drove to Chicago was believed the same as that which killed the Indianapolis policema.n. Bordon was to be questioned later concerning the killing of another Indiana policeman. Police did not reveal his identity. Bordon waived extradition to Indianapolis, and indicated he was willing to face a, charge ot' robbery. Police Chief Michael Morrissey said he would remove Bordon as quickly as possible.
