RENSSELAER, Ind.. KOT. :. The Issues in the Dr. William Spencer will case were i made up to-day in the Circuit Court before Judge Joseph M. Rabb. ol Willlamsport. Dr. Frank Spencer, now taking his second year post-graduate work in the Mclie.il College at Ann Arbor, Mich., Is contest ing the will ot Dr. William Spencer, who died about two years ago at his home In MnnticeMo, whore he owned property valued at $100,000. The complaint charges that in 1886 Dr. William Spencer married plaintiff's mother, who was at that time the widow of Dr. Spencer's brother, and that as" an inducement to the marriage the testator promised and agreed to adopt the plaintiff and give him one-third of his estate, representing that he was a weakly child, and needed his care as a physician, and unless he got it he would die; that on the faith of this and many other promises the widow married the testator, and gave him about $6,000 with which to build their home; that a few weeks after the marriage the testator duly adopted the plaintiff, but from that moment the testators other children, two daughters, Mrs. Carson and Mrs. Meeker, prominent in atotttlCll0 social circles, began to poison the mind of Dr. Spencer against his new wife and adopted son and nephew, to the extent that he entertained various delusions as to his condition and duty toward his family: that about 18S7 his weakness of mind and body, resulting from various causes charged, became manifest and caused a change in his attitude toward and treatment of his family. growing worse until IK, when it became so unbearable that his wife was compelled to procure a divorce on a complaint of cruel and inhuman treatment, which was sustained by the White Circuit Court; that during this trial the testator executed a will, and two months later personally drafted the will now being contested, which gives all his property to Mrs. Carson, wife of the cashier of the Montlcello National Bank, and $10 to his other daughter, Mrs. Meeker, whose husband owns the principal drug store, and lumber and coal business in that town; the will does not even mention the plaintiff, and the plaintiff says in his complaint that in pursuance of the conspiracy of the defendants to cheat him out of his interests, they procured by undue influence and fraud the two wills to be executed, and also in 1895 a deed to be exc epted by the testator conveying all his property to Mrs. Carson, which deed was kept off of record until after the testator's death, when the same was recorded, together with another deed from Mrs. Carson to Mrs. Meeker for her half of the property, which had been previously agreed upon as her share by the two defendants; that owing to the testator's unsoundness of mind the defendants dominated him and procured the execution of these instruments, as well as obtaining from him many thousand dollars in money and property. This suit has been pending for more than a year. The plaintiff has filed about a dozen depositions and examinations, including the deposition of the only surviving subscribing witness to the will, who testifies that the testator was of unsound mind at the time of the execution of the will. To the same poliit are the depositions of the uncle of the testator, clerks in his store and others closely associated with him. The plaintiff examined Ihe defendants and their husbands, as to their knowledge of and connection with the will and deed, and for failure to answer most of the questions the plaintiff to-day asked the court fc- an order compelling the defendants to answer these questions. The case probably will he tried at the next term of this court, and from Indications and reports wiil take about a month. The defendants are represented by E. B. Sellers, ex-Cuited States district attorney, W. E. Chi and B. F. Carr, of Montlcelfo, and De Witt Justice, of Logansport, and Folts, Spltler & Kurrie and Ferguson & Wilson, of Rensselaer, and the plaintiff by Spencer & Guthrie, of Montlcello.

Federal Grand Jury at Honolulu Accuses tlie Legislature of "Monumental" Wrongdoing. HONOLULU, Nov. 30. The Federal grand jury, which was charged by the late Judge Estee, reported to-day to his successor, Judge Dole. The report accuses the late Legislature of systematic and monumental "grafting" and recklessness in the granting of warrants for work never done and for excessive overcharges, $50,000 having thus been vspent altogether. Tho House vouchors, says the report, present an astonishing spectacle. Many clerks are mentioned by name; Representative Jonah Kumalae Is criticised and S. Mehlula, the clerk of the House of Representatives, is indicted for the destruction of public documents. Several vouchers in his favor are missing. The gand jury recommended that prosecutions be made in the territorial courts as it believes that the federal courts are without jurisdiction. CENTERS OF ENERGY.
