I.OST \MI.I, An advancement was made in the Martha .! Brown l«>Ht will case, in Circuit Court, Monday forenoon, when the attorneys for the devisees under the alleged lost will argued again t the attorneys for the persona who would lx heirs of the estate If the alleged ropy of the will is not permitted to be probated, Mrs. Brown died January 13 at her home in Morion township, east of Bethel church. southeast of Fillmore. There Is much local Interest In the care. The complaint which seeks to establish the alleged copy sets out that Mrs. Martha J Brown died January 13. 1937 and that on January 19. Albert .1 Cline, a brother, and Nellie M Thompson, a niece, were appointed administrator* of the estate. A complaint was filed, later, which set out'the date of the death of Mrs. Brown, on January 13. 1937. and also that Albert J. Cline, a brother of Mi Bi >\\ n. and Nellie M. Thompson, a nii'i'i'. wore appointed administrators of the (“date on January 19; also, that Mrs Brown on October 26. 1928. made will which she tried to find a lew weeks before her death, but could not find that it had been lost or accidentally destroyed, but that F S. Hamilton, attorney, was the scrivener in writing the will and retnineii a carbon copy, which he has tr und n l which the plaintiffs, who had been appointed administrators in the belief there was no will, now ;u elt to have established as an authentic verbatim copy of the will which, it is claimed, was once made and t heii lost. The terms of the alleged will are r t on! and it gives all the property « f Mrs Brown to the brother, Albeit .1 Cline, and the niece. Nellie M Thom; .ion. thus depriving other mi ci“- and nephews of the share they w nl 1 receive if the estate were settle I without a will. These latter ;r ki | the court to appoint an attorncy to represent their interests in a conti ."t to keep the alleged carbon copy of the alleged will from being probated. i'li" ci uit appointed James & Allee to ri pr esent the other heirs, and M J. Murphy and F. S. Hamilton were utterneys for the plaintiffs. In partial reply to the complaint, attorneys for the defendants filed a met ion. which was the basis of the argument of Monday. That motion requested the court to require four th' - i i f the plaintiffs: 1. To state wli i where and how the will described wan accidentally destroyed; 2. by whi m destroyed; 3. state if the will wr.c, or was not. removed before her
death; 4, who had custody of the will at the time it was accidentally destroyed. The court took the matter under advisement, without indicating when the finding would be announced. SON CONTROLS EMPIRK
From Poire One> the gigantic oil trust turned. When the tumult which preceded the elder Rockefeller’s retirement broke over the oil domain, the son was ready to step into the job of administering the greatest single industrial enterprise in the world. He was to become one of the world’s most powerful bankers, and one of its most generous philanthropists. He became a business man. patron of the arts, humonist and in a sense, a guardian of public morals through his religious work and early support of the forces that enacted the prohibition amendment. One of his significant personal accomplishments was the fight to oust Robert W Stewart as chairman of Standard Oil of Indiana in 1929. after Stewart was accused of perjury before the Senate committee investigated the Teapot Dome oil leases. He earned a reputation for fearless honesty in public life when he made an announcement, shortly before repeal of the eighteenth amendment, advocating repeal as the only logical answer to the problems of prohibition. Both he and his father had been long enemies of liquor interests and had donated huge sums to the AntiSaloon League. His declaration was one of the finishing blows that struck the eighteenth amendment off the nation’s law books. The greatest physical monument to the younger Rockefeller’s work is the construction of Rockefeller Center, tall buildings that tower over midtown New York, forming a block to the skyline that rivals the Chrysler and Empire State buildings.
