ASSEMBLE

NEW YORK, Jan. 26. (U.S)
Seventy-three lawyers, represent
ing some of the 1,507 claimants
to the $1OO,OOO,OOO estate of the
late Ella Wendell, surged into
surrogateS' office yesterday to
halt the probate of the celebrated
spinster's will. All were directed
to put their objections in writing
before March IA.
Among objectors to execution of
the will were Andreas Wendell and
Richard Wendell Sturm. who came
from Germany with their attorney.
The specific reason for the
claimants appearance was that
the waiver of rights in the estate
signed by Rosa Dew StanSbury,
only recognized next-of-kin, was
to have been acted on yesterday.
Mrs. Stansbury accepted nominal
amount of money to sign away
her claim, then repudfated the
waiver.
The chief beneficiaries of the
will are members of the family
of Charles G. KoSs, attorney and
executor.

X-rays and other scientific tests
will be used today to determine
whether Baby Diana Moore will
get her one chance in a thousand
to grow up happy, normal,
healthy girl.
After the tests skilled surgeons
will decide whether to perform
the delicate, dangerous operation
on the infants brain which, If
successful, will prevent her from
growing up an imbecile.
Despite the pleas of the baby'S
mother, Mrs. Lillian Moore, her
self only 18, that the operation
be performed, experts hesitated to
carry it out.
DR.. o. A. Spier admitted only
surgery can cure Diana of a
strange brain deformity which
doomed her to the life of an
idiot unless it is corrected. He
favored taking the one slim
chance of saving the baby, but
other surgeons interposed moral

FOUR IN KILLING
EXPECT To
Go FREE
Grand Jury Believed Unable to
Agree on Indictment
of Americans

HONOLULU, 7. H., Jan. &c
(I.N.S.) .).-Word today from
friends of four Americans
charged with killing a native
suspected of a criminal attack
upon a naval officers pretty
young bride was that the

would be freed from custody.
The four, Mrs. Granville For
tescue, her son-in-law, Lieut..

enlisted men, charged with the
murder of Joseph Kahahawai, be-
lieved that the territorial grand
jury in session today would not
indict them for murder. They
were in custody on board the
warship Alton.
Unwritten Law Figures
Curious crowds thronged the
corridors of the judicial building.
Many openly predicted that pres
sure of public opinion would re-
suit in failure of the jury to re-
turn an indictment either for
murder or abduction.
The "unwritten law" in which
grand jurymen we're interested in
relation to the asserted taking
of justice into their own hands"
by the four murder defendants,
was said to be playing large
part in the deliberations of the
jury.
Prosecution of the late Kaha-
hawai's four companions in the
attack upon Mrs. Thalia Massie,
Lieutenant Massie'S bride, was
taken from the hands of County
Attorney James Gilliland today
by joint action of the bar asso-
citation and the chamber of COM
merce with approval Of Gilliland.
Prosecutors Named
Eugene H. Beebe, a member of
the Hawaiian house of representa-
tives, was named to prosecute the
case against the four natives,
while Barry Ulrich was chosen to
prosecute Mrs. Fortescue, Lieu
tenant Massie and the two en-
listed men if they are indicted.

PHOTOGRAPHS
OF TORTURES
BY VERN SMITH

But then, there is photograph
after photograph of just these same :
fortunes. There is a photograph of
a Negro boy tied around a pick
handle. There is a picture of
Negro stretched on the Georgia
rack: tied to one post, bent half
over and his handcuffed hands
stretched toward another post with
a rope tight as fiddle string, so that
you can practically see his shoulders
coming out of joint. There is a pic
ture OF the cage on wheels with its
sinking pan below, and pictures OF
vermin-eaten, chain-wearing, gro
tesquely tortured Negro humanity
packed behind its bars, waiting the
call to labor on the good roads"
that are the pride of the South.
There is a picture of the blood
hounds tearing at the leash, ready
to hunt down all who flee from
plantation slavery or road camp.
And mind you, this isn't done IN
the sloppy medieval way, with the
work of the professional torturer
buried in oblivion. This is done in
1882, in the age of bookkeeping,
and the record of rack and stocks
and lash is kept in growing pile
of dust covered documents at At
lanta: "Official Punishment Re-
port" they read, and are made out
by the deputies in charge OF the
tortures. BY date and name it is
set down that Convict So and So"
for "disobeying guard" was put in
a barrel" or had spikes riveted
around his ankles, or got double
shackles put on him. or was given
a couple of hours restricted move
ment" (the euphemism for racking
OF putting in stocks, where, in a
crouching position, man is sus-
pended by wrists and ankles.
AND finally, as you look over these
"A photographed records, see these
actual camera pictures of the tor
mented slaves, you come to realize
that this book is not fiction. David
is only a typical enslaved Negro of
the South, and everything that hap
pens to Dave actually. happened to
Negro slaves in the South-is hap
pering every day. Only recently
the press carried the testimony Of
witnesses in one of the infrequent

oner in the sweatbox at a prison
