Suspect Uses
Hat for 'Omice'

There is more to a hat than
meets the eye-at least that's
what the police found when they
arrested Leroy Pulliam.
The 56-year-old colored man,
who lives in the 700 block of
Seventh street Sc, denied all
knowledge of games Of chance
when police paid him a visit at
his home yesterday. But in the
lining Of his hat they found a
quantity Of numbers slips.
He was arrested on a warrant,
which had been obtained when
police reported they saw him drop
a numbers book on the ground
last month.
Pulliam, who has been charged
with operating lottery and hav-
ing possession of lottery slips, was
released under $1,000 bond. A
hearing was continued to Octo-

Virqinians Are Asked

To Share S750,O0O
California Fruit Grower
Says He Made Fortune
Under Administration
By the Assoeioted Press

SACRAMENTO, Calf. Dec. 7.
Harvey B. Whitten, Northern
California peach grower, left most
of his S750,000 estate to his BROTH
ers and sisters-and told them to
become Democrats. ....
Mr.. Whitten, who died Novem-
ber II at the age of SO, said this
in his will filed for probate yes
terday:
II have specifically requested
my brothers and sisters to re-
nounce the Republican National
Party, its policies and platform
and to vote henceforth straight
Democratic National Party ticket.
'The reason for this is that my
estate was accumulated solely
under the Democratic admins
tration. It is, therefore, my de-
sire that no Republican Party
member receive anything from the
distribution of my estate"
Winston A. Langlois, attorney
for the executors of the will, said
Mr.. Whitten's statement was
probably merely to show his desire
that heirs should be Democrats.
There isn't any clause in the
will which specifically disinherits
a Republican" Mr.. Langlois said.
But it's nice legal question. It's
a point which may have to be
cleared up with litigation later in
the event one of the heirs refuses
to become Democrat"
Mrs. Anna Whitten Ross, who
came here from her home in
Charlottesville, Va, for the hear
ing on her brothers will, said she
didn't think there would be any
trouble from relatives who would
rather be Republicans than DEM
ocrats.
"In fact" she said, II think the
family are all Democrats. They
may have strayed now and then.
I think Harvey just wanted to be
sure they stayed Democrats
"Are you a Democrat?" she was
asked.
II certainly am and very proud
of it," she answered.

benef1ciaries - all brothers and
sisters ARE Mrs. Ross, Mrs. B. A.
