ATTORfJEYS ARGUE HPIISJNLL CASE Broadhus Claims Deceased of Unsound Mind to Disinherit Mrs. Chitwood.

Attorney Broadhus, of Connersvllle, for the plaintiff, Mrs. Belle Chitwood, of Indianapolis, and Attorney Byram Robbins, of Richmond, for the defense, in the suit to break the will of the late Daniel Hankins of Connersville, who left an estate valued at over $50,000, presented arguments to "the jury in Wayne circuit court today. This was the seventeenth day of the trial. The case was venued from the Fayette circuit court. Arguments were continued this afternoon and more will be made tomorrow. It is expected the case will go to the jury .tomorrow afternoon. Attorney Broadhus argued that Hankins did not name his sister, Mrs. Chitwood, as one of the beneficiaries because he was of unsound mind at the time he drew his will. He said expert alienists had testified to this fact during the trial, giving their evidence that he was a victim of monomania. He said that one of the evidences that Hankins had suffered from a mental disease was the fact that in the later stages of the disease he was a pronounced "ancestor worshipper," and evidenced unnatural family pride; that he imagined his sister had married beneath her station and that he had referred to her husband as a drug fiend. Because of his aversion to Mrs. Chitwood's marriage he became very bitter against her, Broadhus contended Cites Testimony. Referring to William Hankins, one of the beneficiaries of the will, having been left a life estate in part of the property, and who would be greatly benefitted should his sister succeed in breaking the will but who refused to be a party to such action, Broadhus said that the brother indicated at the time of Daniel Hankins death that hS suspected he might be mentally unbalanced. The attorney said William Hankins had stood by his brother's casket and had remarked that if he had not been named as a beneficiary in the will his brother must have been Insane. Attorney Robbins in his argument began by calling attention to the fact that numerous witnesses had testified that Mr. Hankins had never evidenced an unsound mental condition and that he was justified under the law in disinheriting his sister if he so desired, and that it occasioned no surprise when he took such action.

Summoning Aid When Mexicans Threaten Water Works

yVI 1 cir v (M , Y ' -rVL st "-rO f - ' "-r -

Lieutenant Richardson connecting a field telephone with the track and calling troops from General -Funston's headquarters, five miles away, when a force of Mexican Federals, numbering 500, demanded the surrender of the Trejar water works, which furnishes the entire water supply of Vera Cruz. The Mexicans fired a scattering volley at the marine outposts guarding the pumping station, but the hot shot reply caused them to withdraw. The marines were promptly reinforced by a detachment of Funston's troopers.

Kline, Real Master of Newspaper Game

Isaac Kline, former Richmond news- j owners of other local newspapers by paper man, whose death occurred in installing a typesetting machine. It

Chicago Tuesday, not only was the was the first machine ever used in

founder of the Richmond Item, but be probably was the first newspaper man in Richmond who made use of modern methods of news gathering and of "playing up" the extraordinary features of news stories that developed" from day to day. He was a genuine reporter in the true sense of the term. His ideas of what constituted real news differed in most respects from other writers in Richmond in the earlier flays of his newspaper career, for he was certain to find, and to give emphasis to, a certain angle of a story that the other Writers on opposition papers had failed to see. His resourcefulness was considered wonderful by the reading public, and it was appalling to those who worked against him on other papers. Seldom did Kline permit the opposition to "beat" him, and seldom was it that his own paper did not score one or more "excluslves." Kline and a brother, both of them mechanics as well as printers, began the publication of the Item as a Saturday advertising paper. It was so filled with "ginger" and sparkled with the wit and personality of Isaac Kline that it became popular at the outset, and it was not long until it blossomed forth as a regular daily, with offices on the third floor of a building near the corner of Main and Eighth streets, where the Union National bank is now located. Kline Edited Paper. Those were days of trial for Kline. The mechanical equipment of the country daily at that time was comparatively crude. The old flat-bed

press that Kline used was as unreliable as the weather, and publication hour ranged any time from 2:30 in , the afternoon up to 9 o'clock. Kline not only edited the paper in these days, but he wrote all the news it contained, supervised the mechanical department and "ran" the press. He was a compositor, and much of his time, when not on the streets rounding up the "festive" paid local and news stories, was spent with composing stick in hand. From ten to sixteen hours a day was the time that Kline put in at actual work, but even with this i?ort of grinding routine, day in and day out, he found time for employment at things that interested him. He was a j musician of rare ability, and was at various times a member of local or-1 chestras. His children inherited the ! musical abilities of their father, and the Kline Family orchestra was one of the organizat ions of which the city saw much in the early eighties. j The Item under his management, while lacking the financial backing of '. contemporary newspapers, was grow- j ittg in both popularity and circulation. ! It was in 1881 that Kline startled the

Indiana and the middle west, but of course, was not of the modern pattern, for the Kline machine was actually a "typesetter," and not a line caster as the linotypes of today. The machine had been exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, as a product of a German genius, who had failed to capitalize his brains after producing the first device for composing type. Kline bought It for a song, it was said, and he moved it to Richmond and put it at work on the Item. It consisted of two batteries of metal chutes, arranged in two parallel rows high above the keyboard. In those chutes the types were distributed by the hand method, several girls being employed to "load" them. The batteries when filled were ready for use, and a touch of the letter desired on

the keyboard released a valve at the . base of the chute and permitted the J types to run into a long channel, and thence into the stick, the justification being attended to by an assistant to the keyboard operator. Used Five Years. The machine was used for four or

v c j a9 cauu. iiai c c in auj lie w o paper men and printers from Indianapolis and other parts of the state who made special trips here to witness it in operation. Some years later, typesetting machines built along similar lines were manufactured in this country, and they were improvements over the Kline machine. All of these however, were quickly relegated when

line casting machines were put on the market, and Kline had disposed of his newspaper interests before the new invention had been introduced to Richmond. It is a matter of local interest that Kline was also the first newspaper man in Indiana who ever used a halftone engraving. Not only did he Introduce this style of pictorial reproductions in newspapers, but he was the first man in Indiana to master the chemical and mechanical problems in connection therewith, and he was the manufacturer as well as the user of the the first half-tone in this state. His methods were crude, but the principle still employed in this work is exactly the same as Kline made use of. There was no branch of the printing and newspaper business that Kline did not understand, and he was master of some of its most complex problems. He was of jovial disposition, loyal to his friends, absolutely fearless of his enemies, and possessed of that rare attribute which would not let him fail in anything he attempted.

TABOO COURT PROBE'

BY LEASED WIRE ; DENVER, Colo. Mar 14. John McLennan, district secretary of the Unit ed Mine. Workers, announced today that not a union man would be permitted to testify before the court martial now In progress at Golden, where Major Patrick Ham rock and thirty-nine other members of the state militia are on trial for alleged murder, arson and larceny, growing out of the burning of the Ludlow tent, colony. "It's a clear case of whitewash. McLennan declared. "I don't intend to permit the strikers to give their testimony before the military commission. Should they tell their stories. Hamrock and the others responsible for the murder of the women and children . at Ludlow could plead former Jeopardy and thus escape trial for murder in the civil courts."
