FORGERY OF KINNEY
WILL Is CHARGED
SIX INDICTMENTS in SUSSEX COURT AS
CLIMAX OF CONTEST--WIDOW AND
WITNESSES ARE INDICTED.

AS a climax to the famous William
S. Kinney will case, which has at
tracted so much attention thrOugout
Delaware since the first of the year
because of the purported fraudulent
will which was filed for probate on
March 6, this year, six bills of indict-
ment were returned by the grand jury
in General Sessions Court at George
town Monday afternoon. The bills
were the outcome of the expert testi-
mOny of Webster A. Melcher, of Phil
adelphia, a handwriting expert, who
was employed in the Kinney will case
to detect whether the last will pur-
ported to be the last will and testa-
ment of Kinney was genuine or a for
bgery.
The purpOrted will against which a
caveat was filled and which bore date
of December 1, 1921, was witnessed
by Nathaniel Conaway and Alvin L.
Marvel, both of Seaford. The will ad-
mitted to probate was drawn on De-
cember 2, 1915 and was witnessed by
w. L. Wallace and A. H. Mather, of
SeafOrd.
On June IA, Register of Wills Will
liam J. Mustard handed down his de-
cisiOn regarding the two wills and the
first was admitted to probate. In his
opinion, the register expressed the
opinion, from testimony, that the sig
natures of COnaway and Marvel were
not affixed to the attestation clauses
at the request of Kinney and in his
presence, and neither at the time
sworn to by them. The register fur
ther set out in his opinion his belief
that the signature of Kinney to the
last purported will was a forgery.
The estate involved possibly $685.
coo.
Nathaniel Conaway, one of the al
legged witnesses 10 the Kinney will,
was indicted on a charge of forgery
of the will. Another indictment al
leses that he perjGred himself at the
time of the filing of the purpOrted will
before the register.
Alvin L. Marvel and COnaway were
indicted on charges of conspiracy to
defraud the Kinney estate between
November l and December 1, 1921
Conaway, Marvel and Mrs. William S.
Kinney, were Jointly indicted on
charge of conspiracy between Decem-
ber l, 1921 and March 1, 1922 Marvel
is indicted on charge of perjury on
the same grounds as COnaway.
AS soon as the bills of Indictment
were returned by the grand jury,
Deputy Attorney-General Robert G.
Houston, who from the beginning of
the contested will case, has watched
the developments, ordered capias, |
returnable forthwith in each case.
The decision of the register coupled |
with the testimony of the Webster
Melcher, writing expert, fastened the |
action in the matter by the Attorney
Generals Office.

GOLF DEVELOPS SELFlSHNESS
Lack of Team Play Encourages
Player to Think OF Himself
Only While Making Plays.

A man who plays golf some, who
spends much time in gOlting galleries
and thinks about golf not a little, says
golf is a game which develops selfish
ness in the player.
His reason is this: There is no
team play in golf. The efforts of each
player are his own, not cO-Ordinating
with any other player or set OF play
ers. Hence he loses the developing
element that comes of games where
team play is the thing, such as foot
ball and baseball Think it over.
Golf, he says, is not the game where
genuine spOrtsmanship exists. the
claim that Is made by men who play
the ancient Scottish game.
"Golf is a game which gives oppor-
tunity for the finest craftsmanship,
he says. "But the selfishness Of the
individual players too often prevents
IT from developing. Is the golfer that
pans his caddie and who springs the
alibi for defeat, is he a sport? Is the
golfer who forgets what the rules say,
is he SpOrt2
&''Of course he Is golfing Philis-
tine, but he says some things which
might be given some thought by the
golfers who insist that the sport
morale in. golf is higher than 1t is In
other games"

the leading rival of cricket before the

Australian ball players were incapaci-
tated or killed during the war. How
ever, the game is reclaiming it's popu-
larity, he asserts, as 1t is admirably

GAME NOT SCIENTIFIC

Is the world advancing? Base
ball isn't. The game is more
popular than ten years ago, but
not as scientific. 1t is as scien-

largely Of the batter socking the
too sensitive ball and of vicis-
situdes for the fielderS In try
ing to stop it.
