SUIT WILL BARE PRISON LIFE OF HEIR TO RICHES Wife Fights to Oust Kin From Guardianship of Wealthy Mate. Bn United Press SANTA BARBARA. Cal.. Nov. 28.—The life of Stanley McCormick in the lone house at Riven Rock, where he has been under . custody of five male nurses during most of twenty-three years, will be subject to further scrutiny when his guardianship hearing reopens Friday. Kenneth MeKillip, one of the men who has guarded the 54-year-old heir to wealth accumulated by his late father, the late Cyrus ' McCormick, the harvester inventor, will be on the stand under crossexamination. He has testified that in the last three years, since Dr. Edward Kempf, New York, began giving McCormick Freudian treatments, the patient has shown marked improvement. Mrs. Katherine McCormick, the wife, Is attempting to oust his brother and sister, Harold McCormick and Mrs. Anita McCormick Blaine, as coguardians with her. She claims that Dr. Kempf's treatments have cost $30,000 and have been nonbeneficial. McKillip’s testimony has drawm the curtain back to 1906 when Stanley McCormick, violent in the McLean hospital at Waverly, Mass., was confined to a straightjacket. By Christmas, according to the testimony, he had shown such improvement that it was planned to take him home. But he became violent again and it was necessary to confine him and feed him through a tube. In 1907 he was removed to a near- j by house, watched by five guards headed by MeKillip. A straight jacket was required when McCormick was transferred to Santa Barbara the following year. For the next three years, McCormick, in a coma, remained in bed. Gradual improvement was shown between 1911 and 1914, MeKillip testified. The multi-millionaire began to take automobile rides, to write and to walk. He had to be taught to' walk as though he were just learning, the nurse declared. " MeKillip testiged under Lawlers questioning that from 1915 to 1927 McCormick had seen no women visitors except his sister, Anita. The wife and the patient’s mother Visited the estate, but he was not aware i that they were watching him. Then Dr. Kempf took the case, | MeKillip said. Bars were removed j from the rooms of McCormick. He was permitted to walk without guards grasping his arms. Women relatives visited him from time to time. In all, MeKillip said, the treatment by Kempf had been very beneficial.

fHE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LAVISH FEASTS MARK NATION’S DAYQFTHANKS , Hoovers Spend Holiday With Son; Homeless Given Turkey Dinners. By United Press Thanksgiving cheer spread over the nation today, with turkey feasts on hand for rich and poor alike. A plentitude of turkeys had bi ought a reduction of from 10 cents to 12 cents a pound, and in cases where even then the price was prohibitive, charitable organizations, churches and civic societies were ready with an abundance of holiday fare. But the general scene throughout the country showed no particular emphasis on charity work and bore out the statements of economists who have attested to the prosperous condition of American affairs. A thousand turkeys went into the stew which Mr. Zero, served at his hospitable east side tub in New York. The Salvation Army, philanthropic society, charity organization society and other groups looked out for other unfortunates. In other cities similar hospitality was being shown. In Chicago all the homeless w r ere rounded up for a turkey feed. Army and Navy Feast Some 200,000 men in the United States army and navy sat down to turkey dinners in many climes. President and Mrs. Hoover, with their son Allan, home for the holidays from Harvard, spent a quiet holiday. The national capital still is in mourning for the late Secretary Good. Fair and colder weather was prevalent in most sections of the east, although snow flurries were expected in the north. California was holding to its tradition for balmy thanksgivings, although a serious drought has developed and part of the thanksgiving exercises will be prayers for rain. Cold in South In the old south, fair and cold weather was on the way, while the midwest expected a driving snowstorm and cold wave by nightfall. In New York, Dahlias, usually killed by frost early in November, bloomed on Thanksgiving day for the first time in twelve years. The radio brought several organized Thanksgiving services. Dr. Ralph W. Stockman delivered a Thanksgiving message over a large network at 11 a. m., other services were scheduled for later in the day and at 5 p. m. a monster hook-up was arranged to bring to American listeners the music of England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland and the United States in a Columbia feature.
