Charges of Crook, Coward
Flung Back and Forth
by Counsel.

Closing stages in the probate
court fight over the Bartholomew
D. Brooks will today turned into a
personal combat between attorneys
hurting charges of "crook" at each
other.
The case is expected to go to the
jury this afternoon for its decision
as to whether the 1880 will or the
1922 document on Mr.. Brooks $780,
900 estate is valid. Charity organi-
cations are seeking to collect be-
quests under the earlier will, set
aside in the 1880 document. In
this Robert Hackney, business as
Sociate, was chief beneficiary.
The plaintiffs allege the 1880 doc
ument is fraudulent.
In closing arguments to the jury,
Claude Anderson, defense counsel,
charged "the defense has introduced
hypocrisy in this case under the
cloak of charity"
He said SANDER and abuse were
forced into the trial by attorneys
for the plaintiffs.
Thursday plaintiffs had charged
"crookedness" on the part of the
defense, and in reply Anderson said
paul Davis, plaintiffs attorney,
has tried to dominate this trial.
This suit should be tried on the
evidence presented, not on preju-
diced beliefs. If they have evidence
that Hackney, and A. F. Fancy, de-
tense attorney, are crooked, why
didn't they prove It? Why doesn't

Few Wealthy Persons Want to De-
veIop Own Country Estates.
By United Press
BALTIMORE, May 29.-Six out
of seven Americans prefer their
homes ready made to the last de-
tail, and have no desire to carry
out plans of their own, r. A. White
of Great Neck, L. l., said today at
meeting of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estates Boards.
White, who represents company
specializing in high-priced country
estates, defined a country estate
as amy property with at least an
acre or two of land and a minimum
valuation of 100000"
Few purchasers of such estates
want to develop them themselves. he
said, adding that improved proper
ties with house, stables, formal gar
den and swimming pool are easier
to sell to the wealthy than vacant
home sites.

Exhibits Are Added, Pool Is
Improved; PicniCs will
Be Featured.

Broad Ripple park, the city'S
northeast side amusement plant, pre-
sented an "all dressed up" appear
ance today, as workmen made
final preparation for the 1881 open
ing celebration Saturday.
They have been occupied for
several weeks with new construction
plans, ref1nishing and repainting of
the park proper and installation of
new exhibits.
The animals went into outdoor
quarters for the first time today,
and the sunshine was given hearty
welcome by all the inmates of the
city's only ZOO. Little Henry, one
of the African blue monkeys, and
the pet of the outfit, showed his
jubilation by causing the whole
park an anxious two hours when
he broke loose and had keepers
running all over the long ski ride
after him before he finally was
Melted.
New Exhibits Obtained
The rest of the monkeys watched
the chase with seemingly as much
interest as the cfasers, chortling
and scampering about their cages.
In addition to improving what
already is the worlds largest and
finest concrete swimming pool, the
park officials have arranged for sew
eral new exhibits. Among these is
one of petrif1ed wood, from the
great petrifled forest in Arizona.
The exhibit shows perfectly the
makeup of wood which nature has
seen fit to turn to stone.
In addition to the swimming pool,
another leading feature this sum-
mer will be free dancing. E. w.
Mushrush, originator of the St.
Louis hop and Campbell glide, is
manager. Hot Thompson's Rhythm
MES will provide the music.
Picnics to Be Featured
Again expecting to feature indus
trial and professional outings, the
management plans to hold several
big picnics during the summer and
has enlarged the picnic grove. More
than $4,000 persons attended the
Delco-Remy outing two years ago.
Children have not been overlooked
in the special amusement plans.
Their times will come on Saturday
and Sunday evenings, when JAG
Broderick's Riddle Review will en-
terrain them.

Wife Died Two Years Ago
Mrs. Lafayette A. Jackson died
two years ago after a long illness.
Contributing to her Ill health,

her son-in-law, Edward West. who
fingered between life and death in
a hospital sixteen weeks after
he was shot by bandits as he came
upon them in the Standard grocery
at Twenty sixth street and Capitol
