Tbo announcement , that a sensational cross bill would bo filed In the Fatrmount part case , published exclusively In TUB BEE , cro- atcd n great deal of Interest and stirred up the attorneys for the plaintiff , Jason Walker , In n very unusual degree. The cross bill was Jllbd yesterday , nnd , as was predicted , It Is n very Interesting document. It showi by what methods this law firm has sought tc wrest from the city tbo most beautiful park in the west and what misrepresentation ? huva been iiiado In order to accomplish this end. end.Tho cross bill , among other tnlnirs , nllcgoe that on or about Juno J , 1S" > 3 , Edmund S. Williams purchased from the government and obtained a patent for certain tirooertj now embraced within the bouuds of Fair' mount park. That about September It , 1857 , ho caused said lands tj bn platted as Wil liams' second addition and afterward Bold divers lots to divers persons , and the city fully accepted the dedication of the streets and alleys In the addition as a part of the streets und alleys of the city. That nftcr said platting the plaintiff on or about September ) , lb"i ) , caused nil of the lots in oil of the blocks In said addition to bo condemned for public park purposes , nnd that in its proceedings to 30 acquire the pos session nnd utlu to said property , the city acted under the authority given by its spe cial charter and acts of the legislature approved in January , 1857 , nnd subsequent ( acts amendatory thereto. That after the awards had boon made by the commissioners appointed to condemn the property , the citv , which is now the plaintiff , deposited in money the true amount of the award for each lot with Perry Heel , then sheriff of the county , nnd at once took possession of the land and has ever since held possessVh ) of said tract , nnd docs now have the possession thereof nnd occupancy of said tract of land platted nnd laid out into streets , alleys , blocks and lots as aforesaid for park purposes , and has sitico October 1C , ISi'J ' , and up to the present time expended largo sums of money In improvinc nnd orna menting the said grounds for park purposes , as the defendant , Jason WnlKor , und his grantors , had full notice , knowledge and in formation nt ttio time , lie , said Wallccr. ob tained his proloudcd title to said tracts ot land , as will bo hereafter more fully ex plained. That after plaintiff had acquired the tltlo to said lands , entered into possession uud made improvements , one Charles Ilaldnno , a citi/en of Council Bluffs and nn attorney of this court , conceiving that , there was n technical defect In the legal title ns acquired by the city by Its condemnation proceedings and that possibly the legal title still re mained In thn said E , S. Williams nnd his wife , Mary Williams , nud the said Haldano intending to defraud nnd deceive not only the petitioner nnd cheat said petitioner out of said property , but also tbo said Williams and his wife , did In the month of September , IbSli , call upon said Williams and wife in the city of Denver and pretended to said parties that ho was perfectly satisfied with said lands , nnd that there WU3 probably n defect in the city's title , and that ho could , with the assist ance of said Williams and bis wife compel the city to pay a very consider able amount of money in order to cure said pretended defect in the tltlo which the city tiad in said property. Ho tilso represented , that bo was not abso lutely certain that such n defect , existed , but there was sufllclcnt irregularity to leave doubt us to whether the city bad a porlect tltlo , nnd that if Williams and his wife would make n deed to him nnd allow him to use said deed with the city council ho be lieved ho could Induce the city council to nay a very considerable sum of money in order to remove any doubt aa to the validity of the t-ity'a title. The said Hnldano also fraudulently nnd deceitful ! } icprcsonted to said Williams and wife that it was not his purpose to destroy the city's tltlo nud take said land from the city , but ho de.sircd to bo placed In a position whore ho could coerce the city into paying n largo sum to have all questions nettled , and If he succeeded in obtaining such Hum ho would deliver said deed to the city and con voy to th' . ' city whatever interest in the land should bo acquired by him by virtue of the deed , nnd If no fulled to procure any such sum of money ho would surrender the deed to Williams and his wife and the matter should go no further. That Williams and his wife did not then desire or intend to deprive the city of the land an'd no declared to tluidano. but were will ing to allow Ilaldnne to induce the city to pay a sum of money to quint the title , if ho could , uud these facts were well known to him. him.That That finally Ilaldano secured the deed by the false representation * and pretences above set forth ; that ho well know that it was not Intended to pass to him nny tltlo that might have remained In said Williams nnd wife , but that fraudulently designing - signing and intending to ohdat nnd defraud the city and said Williams and wife , received said dcd , in tending at thu time to disregard nnd ubuso the trust co nil Jed in him , and to UiO said deed for the purpose of securing to himself all tltlo , right and Interest that might still have remained in said Williams and his wife , and Intending to use said deed thus fraudu lently obtained to secure said land for him self nnd depriving the city of its possession nnd ot all right nnd tltlo to the same. That said Huldune , after receiving said deed /or the purpose of oarryitn : out his fraudulent intention , caused the deed to bo recorded In the ofllco of tbo county recorder of this county , and soon thereafter , in order to carry out hts contemplated fraud , con veyed sold property to Jason Walker , u brother-in-law of his law partner , John N. Baldwin of the linn of Wright , Baldwin & Haldaue , and a resident of the state of Ken tucky. That said conveyance was made without nny consideration whatever , and probably without thu knoxvlodgo of said Walker , not for tbo purpose of convoying any interest in said lands to said Walker , but for the pur- posaof escaping so fur as possible any pub lic odium that might bo attached to him for fraudulently attempting to cheat the city out of the land , nnd also to onnblo said Wright , Ba'dwin & Ilaldano to Institute suit against the city In the United States circuit court. That said Walker now hold the naked tltlo to whatever Interest might imvo remained in said Williams end wife , nnd holds It in trust for said Hnldano nnd nny other persons that may bo confederated with htm in the fraudulent attempt to cheat the city out of the property. The plaintiff asks that Walker bo mtido n party defendant nnd compelled to answer these charges , though not under oath. That a number of the lots were sold when , first platted. [ Some of the deeds are intro duced In nvidcncu.l That Ilaldano personally called on some of thaso parties and falsely und deceitfully rep resented that ho was employed by iho cltto procure from them the deeds for said lots to euro up any defects in tltlo , and said pur- chaiers botng willing to aid the city in pro- sor\ing \ the park , and believing the false and fraudulent nontoures ot Ilaldano , executed and aolivorod to him for a nominal consider ation , deeds convoying to him nny und all In terest that might remain in tticmns , grantees of Williams and wife. Thai said conveyances were made for the benefit of tbo city , und would not hava bemi made In order to aid Halduno to cheat the city out of the property. That Halduna instituted suit to deprive the city of the park , nnd bo und hU law partners intend t use these deeds as evidence of the legal title to said laud In said Juion Walker. That the execution uud delivery ot the , deed to Haldaue and by Haldano to Walker was In trust. That the original plat of Williams' second addition has been lost and the city cannot find It , although It has oftou searched dili gently for It , That plat , cortlttcatoi , ana acknowledge ments nnd order were duly recorded by the country recorder In the proper record * of tbo county , but that about the lime of the fraudulent practice * i' trtjtri-tT-mmifrf V rfht T 1 of Iluldano above described , the pages litho the record containing the record of aah original plat n'ld the record of the itcknowl cdgmont , certificates and orders were cu out and spirited away , nnd can not bo found though diligent search has often boon mad' ' for the same. That In view of this lost a cloud has bsoi cast upon the city's title. . That In view of this loss the cloud nnd tin conduct of Haldano , the city has scoured i deed from Williams nnd wife showing on It : face a conveyance of the legal title ot tin property , and nn nsslgnmontot nil cquttlc that mtent remain in them. That the firm of Wright , Baldwin & Hal dnno hopes to take advantage of this loss ti cheat the city out of the proueny. To th < end that tno city may obtain the relief t < which it Is entitled It prays the court ti grant It duo process by subpoena directed ti said Jason Walker , requiring and command Ing htm to appear herein nnd answer ( bu not under oath ) the same being expressly waived , tbo several allocations In this bill. That Iho court will Issue n writ of injunc tloii restraining said Walker , bis attorneys , agents or others acting In concert with him from further prosecuting said suit nt law til the matters in this petition' sot forth have been Investigated by tbo court nnd the right : of the city determined. That upon the final hearing of the matter nnd things sot forth , that the court will bi decree nuiet the tltlo of this property in thi city , and will by decree declare that any in tcrost derived * In the title w hut soever no quired by the said dairies Iluldano nnd b ; him conveyed to Jason Walker bu convoyoi to the city , nnd that thn court will by dccroi order nnd direct Jason Wnlucr to cxecuti nnd deliver to the city n deed conveying nl such right , title and interest , to ttiu city , ant that upon failure of said Walker to exocuti nnd deliver sucli deed , the court will nppoliv Eomo person In whom It has confidence U execute such decree by making to the citj n deed conveying such Interest , nni that till the execution nnd delivery - livery of such deed the decree entered by the court now prayed for shall stand in lion of a deed convoying to the city uny and nll.rights acquired by the said Hal- dunu from said Willlums and wife as wall a : from their grantees. That the decree shall quiet In the city all right , tltlo nnd Interest in said lands. That the court will Issuu a subpcuim to be served upon said Walker , notifying him o : the tiling of this petition , ulso praying foi such other relief as equity nnd good con- deuce can glvo. G. A.
