TYPEWRITER IS INSPECTED BY BROOKS JURY Use Machine Supposed to Have Written Will Drawn Up in 1930. Jurors turned stenographers in probate court today and, by the “hunt and punch” method, operated a typewriter that is supposed -to have written the last will of Bar-; tholomew D. Brooks, Indianapolis! business man. The jury was called upon to per- j form this unusual service by attorneys for two charity organizations seeking to kill the 1930 will in favor of another 1922 document, which awarded them $200,000 of Brooks’ estate. One limber-fingered juror sur-' prised a crowded court room with his stenop-aphlc ability and did not stop typing until he had written the entire 1930 will. Institute Typing Process Another, less agile with the keys, labored tediously to complete a paragraph on the typewriter belonging to attorney A. F. Zainey, ; counsel for Robert Hackney, busi- j ness aid of Brooks, who shared largely in the last will. The typing process was instituted by plaintiffs to prove the 1930 will. is a fraud and was not typed by I Brooks, an inexperienced typist, j as defense has set out in the case.; Contention of the charity groups, j the Indianapolis Home for Aged Women and the Indianapolis chapter, American Red Cross, is that the perfectly typed will dated 1930, could not have been typed by Brooks in Zainey’s office. Contention Borne Out Irregularly typed and blotted pages which the jurors turned out today bear out this contention, plaintiff attorneys contended. Friends of Brooks during his last years appeared as witnesses for the defense this morning, all testifying that Brooks was of sound mind when the 1930 will was executed. Attorneys for the charity groups have contended Brooks was of unsound mind during his last days. Witnesses today included: Frank Wright, Denison hotel; A. P. Bode, Standard Oil Company employe; Lewis H. Colvin, 329 East Fall Creel boulevard; Omer Farley, 122 u fccisner avenue, an employe of Brooks, and Dr. Moses E. Leeth, 1260 Reisner avenue.

CALLS BIDS ON ROAD SURFACE TREATMENT t Highway Anti-Dust Program Is Plan of State HeadAdopting a two-way program In his anti-dust campaign, John : Brown, director of the state high- | way commission, today announced he will readvertise for calcium chloride and seek bids on low type oil June 1. The proposal is in line with the department’s leaning toward use of oil on gravel roads, despite the protestation of motorists who annually complain of oil and gravel that cling to autos. Brown recently rejected all bids of calcium chloride representatives ► when nine bidders submitted figures of $26,500 a ton on 3,000 tons of the chemical. In recent years the oil interests have increased the mileage of their product, making deep inroads into the use of calcium chloride. —— Dempsey Settlement Fails Again LOS ANGELES, May 22.—Robert E.

Saturday Mrs. Nellie Connelly, 45-year-old widow and recluse, was forced by the humane society to part with the thirty-five or more mongrel dogs which she kept in her lonely home in Warren township.

EDISON WINNERS BECOMEJHUMS ‘Smartest Boys’ Are Pals at College. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 22. The precocious pair of youths who share the coveted title of “America’s brightest boy” have become fast friends. A mutual interest in things scientific and kindred preferences in the

field of sports apparently have combined to draw together Wilber B. Huston, 18, of Seattle, Wash., and Arthur O. Williams Jr., also 19, of r East Providence, R. 1.. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where both are students. Huston, winner of the Thomas A. Edison scholarship contest of 1929, is a sophomore, and Williams, last year's victor, is a freshman. Public attention has been directed anew to these two prodigies by Edison's announcement that there will be no scholarship contest this year and by the possibility that he may select no more proteges. Both of the “brightest boys" are popular among fellow undergraduates.
