Gave to Employees
Typewriter Man Sues for Shares He
Gave in Expectation of
9 Death.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An attempt by
James B. Hammond, head of the Hammond
Typewriter company. to revoke a trust
agreement by which he virtually gave $40
shares OF the stock of that company to the
employees of the company, was argued in
court today.
Mr.. Hammonds counsel informed the
court that in February last, believing that
he was about to die. Mr.. Hammond ap-
pointed trustees to distribute the stock
among those Of his employees whose length
of service warranted 1t.
A few months later an attempt was made
to show that Mr.. Hammond was mentally
unsound, but he was twice adjudged sane
In June he visited Europe and recovered
his health, but while absent learned that
the stock was being distributed He had
expected this to take place only after his
death. Mr.. Hammond then returned to
America and recovered most of the stock.
The courts are now asked to enjoin the
beneficiaries of Mr.. Hammond's gift from
appropristing the entire stock OF the com
pany.
Mr.. Hammond's counsel said the stock in
question was worth 81, ,OO0 900 and that the
agreement under which Mr.. Hammond had
made ii over TO his employees included a
provision that the company should pay Mr..
Hammond 10000 year for five years.
He now desires to hold the gift in abey-
ance.
Decision was reserved.

Members of Second Cavalry Give
= Tlleir Versions OF the killing
at Fort Des kTOines Last
June.

Dramatic was the story told by First
Sergeant James Fl. washburn, Troop B.
Second United States cavalry, before the
court-martial which Is trying Private
Lisle B. Crabtree, Of the same organize
ton, for killing Captain John c. Ray
mond, Second cavalry. his commanding
officer Sunday, June 10, at Fort Des
Mones.
Sergeant washburn told of how he had
pursued the infuristed Crabtree about the
company office on the fateful day, even
though himself seriously wounded. The
first shot had lodged in the palm Of his
hand and the second had broken his jaw,
near the chin, cut out three teeth and
then almost severed his tongue from the
roof of his mouth. Such was his condi-
tion when he at last succeeded in driving
Crabtree into a corner, where he was
overpowered.
Private Crabtree, who was corporal at
the time Of the shooting. sits pale and
agitated while the gruesome details Of his
crime are brought one by one. He is
young and has a clean-cut appearance.
He sits near his counsel, heavily guarded
and with a sentinel with a loaded rifle
just outside the court room door. He is
brought from the guard house shackled
to a non-commissioned officer Of the
guard, for he is regarded as being a des-
perate character.
Judge ]. NJ. Parsons is the counsel for
the accused and he is assisted by First
Lieutenant d. E. Shean, Sixteenth in
