HARRISON TRUST
QUESTION is SET
Action of Court Hinges on Re
covery of Russell B.

On the recovery of Col Russell B.
Harrison, local attorney and the son
of the former President, Benjamin Har-
rison, from injuries sustained last Sun
day when an automobile was struck by
an interurban while he and a party OF
Greeks were returning from FIT. Benin
min Harrison, Judge Linn Hay of Supe-
rior Court Room ., will consider spe-
cial finding of fact in case resulting
from the will of the former President
of the United States.
Mrs. Marthena Harrison Williams,
Norfolk. Va, and a daughter Of Colonel
Harrison, filed q suit June 1, 1910, in the
Superior Court Room 2. against the
Union Trust Company of Indianapolis
as trustee appointed under the pro-
vision OF the will of Benjamin Harrison
and against Russell .. Harrison, trustee,
under the will, in an effort to terminate
a trust In which she claims she IL en-
titled to approximately $4T00 from the
estate of the former President
The Superior Court sustained a de-
lnurrer of the defendants after 1t was
shown that the plaintiff had agreed to
the money being placed in trust fund.
On an appeal to the Appellate Court,
the higher court reversed the action OF
the trial court in sustaining the<demurrer
and referred the case again to the trial
court.
Under the terms of the will, a trust
fund was created In interest Of Colonel
Harrison and any heirs he might have
The will of The President specified that
when\a child of Colonel Harrison became
OF age the child should be given his OF
her share of the trust fund. Colonel
Harrison claims that 1t was the inten-
ton of his father to make the trust fund
n permanent one, but In drawing up the
will a provision directing the distribu-
ton of the fund to the children OF
Colonel Harrison on becoming OF age
was inserted, thus destroying the orlsi.
uRl intentions of his distinguished father
The records show that Marthena liar
rison married Harry A. Williams, Jr.
of Norfolk. Va, and on becoming OF
age took legal steps to obtain In cash
her part of the late Presidents estate
The evidence shows that Mrs. Williams
agreed to the making of the trust fund
and so waived her rights TO obtain hel
share of the estate on becoming OF age
Pleadlngs of Colonel Harrison shows that
his daughter regularly has received hel
share Of the income from the trust fund
since 1t was created.
Other pleadinss and arguments will
be made in the case as soon as Colone
Harrison is physically strong enough
to appear in court.

HART SISTERS
APPEAR IN COURT

While Bernice and Irene Hart have
been singing songs Of love with the VIII
liam Rock Revue of 1920 at English g
this week, their hearts have been sad
because their mothers petition for a
divorce was pending in the Marion Coun-
IL Circuit Court

ing her stepfather trying to choke her
mother. she broke down and cried Her
sister. Bernice, took the witness stand
in behalf Of her mother and gave testl-
mOny calmly against her stepfather.
The girls. in their pretty suits and
hats. made a lovely picture as they for
got about the footlights and the applause
of the audience In the ordeal OF publicly
presenting to Judge Harry Chamberlin
the circumstances which resulted in their
4AOCher separating from MI MOIElSon on
April 1. 1920. The MoErisons were mar
ried April 9, 1915.

way and their devotion to their mother
who is their constant companion on their
long tours with theatrical companies, won
the sympathy OF every one in the court
room.
Mr. Morrison was not in court at the
1 time Of the hearing. Judge Chamberlin
after hearing the undisputed evidence
granted Mrs. Morrison q complete di-
yorce and restored her former name.

to Detectives.

Declaring that he had gone two months
without work and desperate because he
could not earn money with which to
support his widowed mother and Grip
pied sister, Frank Croly, %, of 1906 Shell
don street, today confessed to Detectives
Riley 2and White that he was the man
who had committed two hold ups, in one
of which he shot w. c. Lancaster, a
grocer. at Nineteenth and Sheldon streets.
Lancaster suffered only a slight flesh
wound In the arm and the two masked
men ran from the store and escaped
without robbing him.
That attempted robbery took place Dec.
q at 4:45 O'Clock in the morning when
the grocer opened his store.

STIVENS IS NOW
AT STATE FARM
Begins Sentence Once Sus-
pended, Then Ordered Served.

Pat Stivens, who failed IN his attempt
to be released from the custody Of Sher-
tf&egaobert +. Miller on a writ Of habeas
Corpus today was an inmate Of the In
diana State Farm, according to an an
ncuncement by the sheriff
Stivens was accompanied to the farm
yesterday by Sheriff Miller and Deputy
Frank Kemp. Stivens was fined $50
and sentenced to $50 days on the Indi-
ana State Farm in the City Court on
Nor. il. by Special Judge Frank Symmes
on a charge of bootleggins. Judge
Symmes on that date suspended sentence
on Stivens on the condition that he would
refrain from violating the Indiana prohi-
bition statutes.
Pat evidently received the suspension
with a wink, because he again appeared
in City Court on Dec. on another
charge OF violating the prohibition laws.
Judge Symmes then revoked the sus-
pension and ordered Stivens- remanded
into the custody Of the sheriff
Attorney Dan Brown, counsel for
Stivens, fled s petition before Judge
Scion Carter Of Superior Court, room 5,
asking that StiveHs be ordered released
on the grounds that the record was void
on its face and that the city court did
not have the legal authority to suspend
a sentence.
Judge Carter held that in his opinion
tESteity court had no legal authority to
suspend the days but also held that
Stivens was legally ordered to the In
diana State farm for a period of $50
days and held that he was virtually
serving the days imposed although he
was neither on the farm nor in jail. The
court indicated that S.ivens was entitled
to reduction Of the days between the
date Of sentence aud Dee. +, the date of
the suspension. Sheriff Miller stated that
no action has been taken as yet to OBJ
tain the reduction Of time for Stivens.
Judge Carter ordered Stivens remanded
into the custody of the sheriff last Tues
day and Sheriff 8IilleF yesterday carried
out the commitment by taking Stivens
to the Indiana State farm. -----

SAYS DEATH FROM
NATURAL CAUSES

Following an autopsy performed on
the body of an unidentified man found
in Riverside Park last night, the coro-
nors office announced today that he had
died from natural causes. 1t was found
that the man had been suffering from
liver trouble and an analysis showed
that what was at first believed to have
been a bottle of poison was, in reality,
medicine.
Efforts to identify the man have
proved unavailing. The body WAS taken
to an undertaking establishment on
North Illinois street, after it was dis
covered at 3 o'clock this morning.
