figure in the case, was questioned here by Department of Justice agent ■after being brought from Oklahoma under guard of a deputy United States Marshal. Following the questioning the agents stated they were convinced that the aged Indian did not have sufficient mentality to understand the financial transaction. Wife Profits One who profited by the transaction was Mrs. Anna Laura Lowe Barnett, white woman, who took Barnett from Oklahoma to Kansas in 1919 and married him. Mrs. Barnett deposited $200,000 of her share of the money in the Biggs National Bank at Washington to Vie used as a trust fund for her husband until his death. Following the transaction the aged Indian was not permitted to return to Oklahoma, but was taken to California by automobile. He was brought back to Oklahoma only a few weeks ago when the Department of Justice obtained a court order from a Los Angeles Federal Court in order to use him as a grand jury witness at Muskogee, Okla.

CITY PAVING PUTS FOUR DETOURS ON STATE HIGHWAYS Rain Delays Construction Work —Aids Maintenance Activity. Two detours on State roads have been removed in the past few days and four added, the latter at points where city paving and repairs are under way, it was pointed out in the State highway commission's traffic bulletin today from the office of John D. Williams, director. Field operatives' reports to the central office show slow progress being made on paving projects'owing to the almost continuous rains of the past two months, but that while these rains have seriously handicapped pavement construction, they materially aided in maintenance on stone and gravel surfaces, reported in very fine condition. Surface conditions on roads entering Indianapolis for the week beginning tomorrow are set forth in the bulletin ns follows: Ril, -!> ( Madison. - Versailles. Greonsburs, Sheil.jville.
