KNOX WILL CONTEST
WELLskNowN CASE IN MALAYSIA
COUNTY is REVIVED BY sU-
PREME COURT.

Oskaloosa, Feb. 3.-The contest over
the will of the late John Knox. veal
thy resident of Mahaska county who
died at the age of rs leaving large
amount of property, was started all ov-
er again as the result of an opinion
by the supreme court rendered at Des
Moines Monday, reversing the lower
court and ordering a new trial.
Jonn Knox was married twice. BY
his first wife he had several children.
BY his second wife he had none. In
1883 he executed a will, by the terms
of which he cut off all the children by
his first wife with bequest Of SIS
each, and gave all his property to his
wife. She died before he did. but he
never executed a new will. and &C,
cordingly the relatives of his second
wife claimed the property as her heirs
John Knox, Jr., and his brothers and
sisters contested this on the ground
that their father was of unsound mind
when he executed the will. Judge
Scott, the trial Judge, made number
of rulings which the children of the de
ceased testator believed were calculat
j ed to prejudice the minds of the jury
The jury rendered verdict favorable
Ito the Wife's relatives, and the Knox
children appealed. The supreme court
takes the position that Judge Scott
made two or three prejudicial errors
Il and thatja new trial should be had on
that ground. On one occasion he re
marked in the presence of the jury
that if Knox was able to sit on the
Jury seven times in 1880 without show.
limo ovid Nf it1, No OF
have been sane. The supreme court
rules that this did not necessarily fol
flow, and that the remark was badly out
Iof place, and it was subsequently prov
en- that Knox actually sat on the jury
at that time and in the manner claim
ed. The children claimed that he had
! been of unsound mind since 1875. An
other error in the trial was the giving tc
the jury the impression that it might
be assumed as established that Knox's
second wife decided him all her prop
i erty, and that he then willed her al
lin accordance with an agreement be
tween themselves. The supreme court
says the record does not show thatNthis
fact was established by any means.

VERBATIM REPORTS
sTENoeRAPHERs HAVE NO EASY
TIME in TAKING WORD FOR
WORD ADDRESSES.
The contented Appearing Shorthand
Writer Experiences Hard Work Il
Verbatim Reporting Necessitates
Five Distinct Mental Operations.


In appearance the average stenog-
rapher or shorthand writer assumes
an air of happiness and content, but
1T is not all truth that the outside
showing depicts. The real hard work,
or anguish as some people term it, all
lies under cover, and although some
"stenogs" are in a happy vein, the
actual work comes in verbatim report
ing.
Psychologists may find an interest
ing field for investigation in the in
tellectual processes that are involved
in rapid shorthand writing. There are
at least five distinct mental operations
carried on continuously during YER
batim reporting. First, there is the
sensation of sound received by the
ear; secondly, there is the perception
by the brain of the word uttered,
practically simultaneously with the
sensation in the case of distinct
speaker, but often delayed a large
fraction of a second when a preacher
drops his voice" or a witness in court
has foreign accent. In the third
place, the stenographer must analyze
the conSonantal structure of all the
less common words in the sentence, all
except the stock words and phrases,
which he writes by word signs by a
practically automatic habit.
Uncommon Words.
Fourth, these relatively uncommon
words must be put on paper accord
ing to the principles of the system
employed. This one operation involves
many subordinate and infinitively swift
efforts of recollection. association and
decision.
A Trained Mind Necessary.
Fifth, all these mental operations
are carried on while the pen or pen
Gil is from two to three words to an
entire sentence behind the speaker
thereby complicating the situation by
compelling memory to keep pace with
attention. In other words. while the
scribe is writing the predicate of one
sentence and analyZing an unfamiliar
word in the subject of the next, he
is at the same time giving his audi
tory attention to the predicate of the
second sentence then being uttered by
the speaker. This is impossible to an
Funtrained mind. The average educat-
ed person cannot retain more than per-
haps six or eight words of the exact
phraseology of a speaker at one time
The. competent stenographer can hold
up ten, fifteen. twentv words or ever
more in his memory, while at the
same time taxing his mind by the act
of writing the words that preceded.
