WITNESS DECLARES
WON iS GIVEN
Kiimwnii
OKLAHOMA €ITY, Nov. 13 Dr.
W. T. Tilly, former cyclops of the
fluskogee, Okta., Ku Klux Klan, tes
ified before a legislation investiga
tion committee that Governor J. C.
Walton, applied for membership in
the klan, paid an initiation fee of $lO
and took the oath of the organiza
tion, according to a report of the
committee made public toda,y.
The committee report quoted Dr.
Tilly as saying he administered the
•obligation to the governor in the ex
ecutive office here in the presence
of Dr. E. A. Davenport, state health
commissioner. Dr. Davenport was
said to have testified before the com
mittee in confirmation of Dr. Tilly’s
statement. No one else saw the oath
administered, according to the testi
mony.
The state senate court of impeach
ment was thrown into an uproar to
day when counsel defending Gover
uor Walton launched into a cross
examination of-Dr. E. R. Bynum, for
mer confidant of the suspended ex
ecutive, which was characterized by
members of the court as “outrageous
ly unfair.”
'Bynum testified that he and Al
drich Blake, who succeeded him as
executive counsellor, had considered
placing a secret telephonic device ini
tlje governor's office to “protect” the
executive.
After Dr. Bynum had denied that
he had been removed from the fac
ulties of the University of North Car
olina and of Oklahoma City college,
\Yarren K. Snyder, of defense coun
sel, demanded: “Were you ever com
pelled to kiss the American flag?”
“I never had occasion to do so.
No sir,” Dr. Bynum replied.
“Is it not a fact,” Snyder persist
ed, “that shortly after the war in
Oklahoma City a gentleman asked
you if you had not written a letter
to Germany in which you said the
hh«t citizens of this country were
wfth Germany in her trouble, and
you replied that you had and that
you were proud of it, whereupon the
tieman said he was proud to have
the opportunity to knock you down,
and proceeded to do so?”
Dr. Bynum was questioned regard
ing his work as a collector of funds
for the governor. He said he had
solicited campaign money and testi
fied that he had accepted personal
gifts from wealthy men. who con
ributed to the campaign chest.
He-told the court he had received
11,000 as a personal gift from C. J.
Wrlghtsman, a wealthy Tulsa oil
man; He said another SI,OOO given
him by J. S. Cosden, also a Tulsa
oil magnate, was split with Blake,
the governor agreeing. Dr. Bynum
testified that he received “several
hundred dollars” more in personal
gifts, but could not recall the donors.

FIGHT FOR $30,008,000 ESTATE
HINGES ON MEANING OF WORD
Heirs Claim Children of
George Gould by Second
Wife Are Not "Issue”—Fa
mous Lawyers Involved
BY HARVEY ANDERSON
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Upon the
single word “issue” hinges the out
come of the biggest will contest
America-has ever known. It Involves
the Gould family, famed in the finan
cial and railroad history of Amer
ica since Jay Gould left his tannery
in northern New York and plunged
into Wall street. When he died, in
1892, he left an estate of $72,000,000.
It is about this estate that the fight
centers.
Eminent counsel, including John
W. Davis, former ambassador tp
Great Britain, and president of the
American Bar association; Judge Al
ton B. Parker, former Democratic
candidate for president, and forty
eight other attorneys, are engaged in
an attempt to construe the word to
determine whether three children of
the late George J. Gould, son of the
famous Jay, come finder the legal
status of “issue.”
When Jay Gould died he gave
George Gould, eldest son and head of
the house, $5,000,00 outright and cre
ated trust funds of $10,000,000 for
each of his six children, including
George. George Gould, was named
■*rustee of these funds. The will pro
vided that upon the death of Jay
Gould’s children the trust funds
should be divided equally among
“their issue.”
Fortune Shrinks $20,000,000
Under the management of George
Gould, the famous financier’s estate
shrank $20,000,000, and his brothers
and sisters were suing him when he
died to force a restoration of the
sum. Administering his father’s
estate, Geoige Gould allowed the
Western Union Telegraph company,
the Manhattan Elevated railroads,
the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash,
the Texas & Pacific and half a doz
en other railroads to slip from con
trol of the Gpulds. His dreams of
a transcontinental line and the panic
of 1907 were blamed. After that the
Gould name came to be more or less
negligible in Wall street financial
circles.
George Gould retired to his home
at Lakewood, N. J., and transacted
his business through his secretaries.
His first wife, who bore him six
children, died in 1921. A year later
he married Guinivere Sinclair, a
stately blonde, who lived on Manur
sing Island, at Rye, N. Y. She was
a mystery woman. She had three
children and was reported to be a
widow. Her home on Manursing Is
land was one of the most luxurious
in New York. She remained aloof
from the fashionable people along
the Long Island shore. After their
marriage, she and Gould went to
Europe to live.
Early this year, he died in France.
In his will he admitted parentage
of Guinivere Sinclair’s three chil
dren, the oldest of whom was seven
and was born six years before
Gould’s first wife died. It developed
that Guinivere Sinclair had come to
America in 1913 with a musical
comedy from England, had met
Gould and he set her up in the
mansion at Manursing Island.

Gould left an estate of $30,000,000,

of which $19,000,000 was the trust
fund left him by his father. George
Gould had created, in turn, a trust
fund of $4,000,000 for his second wife
and her three children and had. pro
vided that the remainder ot his es
tate should be divided equally among
his six children by his first wife and
his three children by his second.
The children by his first wife,
among them Jay Gould, second, na
tional squash champion, have insti
tuted proceedings to prevent the
three children of the second wife
from sharing in any part of the
$10,000,009 trust fund left\ their
brother by Jay Gould. Their conten
tion is that the grandfather said the
$10,000,000 should be divided among
the “Issue” of his children and that
Guinivere Sinclair Gould’s children
do not come within the legal mean
ing of lawful issue. The second wife
is fighting for herself and her three
children. Through her attorney,
she is contending that her marriage
to Gould legalized their children and
made them “issue.”

Mr. Lynn, who A Year
has given years of
study to the subject, further states, “I
am convinced that bens loaf in the
winter and after the moult because cer
tain elements are missing in the feed which
are needed to keep the generative organs in
a healthy laying condition. Furthermore, I
demonstrated that these missing elements
could be easily supplied by adding certain
mineral elements to the drinking water,
thus insuring a plentiful supply of eggs at
highest prices.”
Thousands of poultry raisers praise the
work that Mr. Lyun is doing, and letters
pour in on him every day. For instance,
T. E. Asher, of Naylor, Mo., writes, “Be
fore using Mr. Lynn's secret I was getting
»nly one egg a day, the next week I got
194 eggs.”
Mr. Lynn is glad to help any poultry raiser
