Will of Lawyer
Balks Executors;
Seek Courts Aid
Validity of Benno Loewy's
Bequest That Library Go
to Universities Doubted;
Law Is Declared Violated

Although Benno loewy was lawyer
for many years before his death last
August. doubts and questions have
arisen over the terms Of his will and
the Supreme Court was appealed ia
yesterday by the executors to instruct
them with regard to certain provisions.
One Of the disturbing features is the
claim Of Attorney General Newton
that because Of the invalidity Of resid-
uary clause in the Loewy will the
residence of the testator at % West
Eighty y-eighth Street has escheated to
the state with the exception Of the
dover interest Of the widow, Mrs. Isa-
belle E. Loewy.
Mr.. Loewy was q we'll known biblio-
phile. He left his collection of books
and manuscripts, numbering many
thousands and including many rare
works as we'll as costumes used in
Shakes spearian and Elizabethan produc-
tions to Cornell University, to be known
as the Benno Loewy Library. The will
provided that if the authorities Of the
latter institution could not accept this
collection it was to be offered to Johns
Hopkins University and Leland Stan
1NAU Ciii iv0l olIy III IuII. MT. LOcWy
left his widow the income for life from
his estate and if that did not reach a
certain minimum, part Of the principal
was to be sold to make up the defci-
ency. At the death Of Mrs. Loewy the
principal was to be used to extend and
improve the library left by the lawyer.
Attorney General Newton contends
the will violates the decedent estates
law, in that it gives more than one
half of the estate to a public institu-
ton. The action Of the executors also
shows that the provision made by Mr..
Loewy was without the consent Of his
wife, who does not approve of the dis
position of the estate and has not
elected to accept the provision made
for her in lieu Of the dover. The will
provided that If Mrs. Loewy contested
the will she was to have only her dover
interest in the family residence. She
IS not taking part in the present pro-
cceding.
The executors ask the court to en-
tighten them with regard to the valid
lty Of the library bequest, whether Mr.
Loewy's will is valid as to more than
half of his estate, whether all of the
eslduary clause is not invalid and
Mr.. Loewy died intestate.

Rand Puts Embargo
On News of Special
Grand Jury Inquiry
Fairness to Accused Swami
Aids Demands That the
Case Shall Not Be Pre-
judged, Prosecutor Says

The lid Is to be clamped down on
news Of tha extraordinary grand jury's
investigation Of it's charges against
Assistant District Attorneys John T.
Dooling, James E. Smith and Edwin
P. Kilroe. This was indicated yester-
day by Colonel William Rand, desig-
mated by Attorney General Newton TO
prosecute the inquiry Of the jury.
Colonel Rand issued a statement in
which he declared that in fairness to
prejudged and that the results of the
inquiry would become known ain due
course and through the proper official
channels" His statement follows:
CAT the request Of the Attorney Cen
eral I have undertaken to act for
him in the matters covered by the
Governors requisition of February 20.
This involves primarily an inquiry
by the extraordinary grand jury into
charges Of criminal offenses alleged
to have been committed by certain
members Of the staff of the District
Attorney.
'"The results Of this inquiry will
become known in due course and
through the proper official channels.
In the meantime the public interest
and ordinary fairness to the lawyers
involved in these charges require that
they should not be prejudged and that
the progress Of the inquiry should not
be attended by statements Of fact or
comment to the press.
"No such statement will be made by
me, or by any one under my control, and
pending the inquiry no information of
my plans or purposes or those OF the
grand jury will be given.
II make this announcement so that
it may be understood that any news of
what the grand jury is doing or pro-
poses to do will come from sources
other than myself"
Colonel Rand will devote the next
week to familiarizing himself with
testimony the grand jury make have
taken already in its inquiries. Dooling
is charged with conspiring to convict
CASTOR B. Means of the King murder;
Smith with failing to present evi-
dence against gambling and dis
orderly houses, and Kilroe with neglect
of duty
The inquiry probably will not get
under way for at least ten days Colo
mel Rand will require the services Of
assistants, and he probably will ap-
point two. He declined to state yester-
