Blue-Eyed Parents
May Have Children
With Brown Eyes
Scientist Upholds Conten.
ton of Man Seeking to
Break Will.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Testimony that
from a scientific point Of view, blue eyed
persons, for the most part, exist only In
poetry and songs, was in the record OF
Judge Michael Feinberg yesterday.
The witness was Prof. Horatio HACK
EFT Newman, noted University OF Chi
cago zoologist He was on the stand
for two hours yesterday IN behalf OF
George Adair Greene Longley's efforts
to break the will of Albert w Longley,
millionaire hat manufacturer. Long
ley's claim that he is son OF Albert
Longley by a former marriage is being
contested By Mrs. Mary Carolyn Long
ley. third wife of the manufacturer.
Mrs. Longley contends he is not the
son Of her late husband because he has
brown eyes, whereas the couple he
claims as his parents had blue eyes.
The professor, however, testified that in
his own family there exists living proof
that parents with eyes commonly
called blue can have children with eyes
that are brown. His sister, he said, has
blue eyes. So has her husband, yet two
of their five children have brown eyes.
There is q vast difference, the pro-
fessor added, IL the designation "blue
eyes" by the layman and the same desig-
nation by a scientist. The majority of
eyes called blue by the average indi-
vidual show percentages of Drown pig
ments when properly examined under
optical instruments, while the opposite
Is true about brown eyes.
