BARNETT SHOWS
INTELLIGENCE in
COURT QUIzZING
Aged Indian Says Money
No Good To Him At
ter Death.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 90. UP
Learned counsel who have at
tempted this week to prove that
Jackson Barnett, aged Creek IN
dian, has not full possession of his
faculties had the tables turned on
them today-by the wealthy In
dian.
Barnett, whose oil millions have
kept him Internationally in federal
courts the past 10 years while the
government attempts to regulate
his spending, may not show proper
respect for wampum in the form
of greenbackS, but he knows it
won't do him any good in the hap
py hunting grounds.
His respect, if it could be called
that, for attorneys, and his views
on money, was revealed in federal
court where dispositions are being
taken for the governments suit to
recover more than 100000 Barnett
gave to his white wife, Anna Laura
Barnett, and others, years ago.
"What," asked Assistant U. S.
Attorney Peter Davis, do you
plan to do with your fortune when
you die?"
Il want to spend it-while I'm
alive" replied Barnett, with a
straight face. "It won't do me no
good after I'm dead"
He added, however, that he was
willing to leave some of it to In
dian schools IF there's any left"
Davis looked startled, suspecting
that Barnett was Kidding" the
government, but the Indians face
held its habituai stoicism.
The Indian, who has no idea
how old he is, became a ward of
the government when the Creeks
Were placed on an Oklahoma reser-
Walton. In 1912, he was declared
incompetent TO handle his own
affairs.
Some Is years ago, Mrs. Barnett
kidnapped Jackson and took him to
Coffeyville, Kansas, where she mar
ried him, the government charges.
Congressman Harold McGugin Of
Kansas has been her legal advisor.
He is a CO. Defendant with Mrs.
Barnett in the governments suit
to regain Barnett's money.
McGugin and Mrs. Barnett will
stipulate at the coming trial that
she entered into an agreement with
him to pay McGugin Is per cent
of any money he obtained for her
from the Barnett estate, according
to U. S. Attorney Samuel Nc
Nabb.
