By MARY BECKER
Locked in a drawer in the disb ict
clerk’s oftice in the Bryan courthouse
is a Biblical scroll that was part of a
lawsuit involving Texas A&M Uni
versity .
The case is straight out of a televi
sion drama. A man dies in a state
hospital without leaving a will. The
heirs discover the man’s sister, who
is acting as guardian for his estate has
given an old scroll to the college.
Written in Hebrew and supposedly
part of the Old Testament, the scroll
is given to the disb ict clerk’s office
until the heirs decide what to do with
it.
Sixteen years later, the scroll is
still in the courthouse and has never
been translated or validated as au
thentic.
Measuring over 40 feet long and
made of sewn sheepskin, the scroll is
wrapped in white cloth and tied with
cord.
Stansell T. Brogdon, a Brazos
County resident brought the scroll
into the country about 1945.
His sister, Lucy Brogdon, filed
and received guardianship of Brog-
don’s estate on April 22, 1957 after
Brogdon was declared non compos
menti (not competent mentally). His
estate was estimated to be $8,500.
The manuscript was not listed by his
sister in his possession.
In November of 1959, Lucy Brog
don gave the scroll to A&M where
she had been employed.
On May 2, 1960, Stansell Brogdon
died in the State Mental Hospital in
Austin, Texas. He was 83 years old.
On June 2, 1960, a demand was
