SEEKS TO MAKE IT EQUITY PROCEEDING
Actios, If Sostslned. Will Practically
Sonaalt Doyle In the Fsmsss
Portland field Miss
Mtls-atloa.
James F. Burns, president of the Tort
land Gold Mining company of Colorado,
defendant In the famous suit brought
against him by James Doyle and In which
the latter at the former trlnl securel a
verdict for over H50,V, now seeks a heir.
Ing In equity on ctrtain points In the case
which If decided In his favor will practi
cally nonsuit Doyle and to all Intenta and
purposes dispose of the law action, the
second trial of which Tins been set for
the January term of the district court In
this city.
Testerday counsel for Burns filed an
amended and substitute answer, together
with a cross-petition. The amended ans
wer contains nothing which was not in the
former one, but the croes-petitlon places an
entirely new phase on the ense.
In the cross-petition It Is claimed on be
half tt Burns that Doyle's suit easts a
cloud and slander upon the title to the
stock held by Burns and affects his ability
to sell or use the same. It Is therefore
asked on bhiUt of Burni that his title to
the stock In controversy be qirleted and
that this be tried in equity.
After citing the history of how he
(Burns) and Doyle came to be associated
In the mining business It Is alleged In the
cross-petition that Doyle abandoned his
Interest In the claims, while on the
other hand Burns expended much ' time
and money In developing them and making
them the valuable property they subse
quently became.
Doyle's Interest In the stock 'in contro
versy, It is claimed. Is only an equitable
one, as both title and possession have al
ways been held by Burns or his assigns.
It Is further contended thRt no settlement
or. accounting was ever had between Doyle
and Burns and that Doyla had never of
fered to pay Burns any share of the sums
expended by the latter In developing the
property and that therefore It would be
Inequitable to permit Doyle to proceed to
the trial of the main action until his al
leged Interest shall have been established
In an equity proceeding and until a full
accounting shall have been had between
the two parties.
Accompanying the cross-petition Is a
motion to have this Issue tried In equity,
which bears tho names of Burns' counsel
as follows: United States Senator T. M.
Patterson, Judge A. T. Ounnell, former
Governor C. S. Thomas, all of Colorado,
Congressman Walter I. Smith, Dillon L.
Ross and Saunders & Stuart, all of this
city.

HARRY BERX9TKIS PLEADS GULTY
Admits HtIhst Received Property
Stolen from Mrs. Metcalfe.
Harry Bernstein, the Omaha pawnbroker,
entered a plea of guilty last evening before
Judge Green In the district court of re
ceiving and concealing the Jewelry stolen
from Mrs. Emma Metcalfe, the keeper of a
resort In the northern part of this city,
January 19, 1903. The understanding be
tween Bernstein and Assistant County At
torney Hess, according to the statement of
the latter lost evening, Is that in. considers
tlon of his plea of guilty that Bernstein is
to escape Imprisonment, but Is to be fined
the maximum penalty, namely, $600. This
fine, It Is understood, Bernstein. Is pre
pared to pay the moment the court for
mally passes sentence.
Bernstein was Indicted by the grand Jury
on September 17 on two charges, the first
of receiving and concealing the Jewelry,
valued at $1,800, stolen from Mrs. Metcalfe,
and, second, for receiving and concealing
twenty revolvers of the average value of
$12, stolen from the establishment of the
Wright-Wllhelmy company in Omaha on
December SI, 1903. He was arrested five
days later in his place of business In Omaha
and hustled to this side of the river by
Bherlff Canning and Deputy McCaffery. He
promptly gave ball In the sum of $1,600, the
bond being furnished by Julius Katelman
of this city.
The case against him In which he .was
Indicted on the charge of receiving the re
volvers stolen from the Wright-Wilhelmy
company was dismissed last evening. This
action waa taken by Assistant County At
torney Hess, it Is understood, In considera
tion of Bernstein pleading guilty to the
other charge.
Mrs. Minnie Dunn, sister of Mrs. Emma
Metcalfe, was Indicted on the charge of
stealing the Jewelry and she Is at present
out on ball pending her trial. Bernstein,
according to the evidence before the grand
Jury, was charged with coming to this
side of the river, where he bargained for
the purchase of the stolen Jewelry, for
which he Is said to have paid $15.
While there was nothing said yesterday
at the time that Bernstein entered his
plea of guilty about the stolen Jewelry
being returned to Mrs. Metcalfe, Assistant
County Attorney Heea stated last evening
that he had been given to understand that
Mrs. Metcalfe had been "settled" with.
Whether this "settlement" with Mrs. Met.
calfe meant the withdrawal of the charge
against her sister, Mr Minnie Dunn, Mr.
Hess said he was not prepared to state
last night. . .
Mahlon Bethers, who threatened to shoot
Detective Callaghan and other officers who
went to his house to arrest htm for the
theft of coal from Illinois Central cars,
was found guilty yesterday by a Jury In
the district court. Bentenoe was deferred.
The technical charge on which Bethers
was arrested was resisting process of ex
ecution. The suits of Hatch against ' the motor
company and Baughn against Napier were
settled out of court yesterday and dis
missed. .

DENVER W0MAN WINS SUIT
Chicago Jndgre Holds Against De
linquent Executor Who Con.
trols Her Estate.
CHiCAOO, Dec. 16. A notable decision
was handed down today by the branch
appelato court in the unique litigation be
tween Edward H. Comer of Chicago and
Miss Tflary McDonnell of Denver over pos
session of the young woman's share In the
estate of her father, Anthony P. McDon
nell. By a series of suits In attachment
Coiner succeeded In regaining possession
of the legacy left Miss McDonnell In spite
of an order of the probate court to deliver
the money to her.
Wearied of efforts to force Cqmer to de
liver her money to her, It Is asserted, Miss
McDonnell called the executor a thief and
defaulter and declared he had never earned
an honest dollar In his life. In retaliation
Comer started suit for slander and In his
own behalf caused an attachment to be
Issued against himself for Miss McDon
nell's money. Xs a result the legacy has
been tied up for four years.
In the opinion handed down today sus
taining a Jury In the circuit court, which
believed Miss McDonnell's denials of the
slander charges, Judge Freeman of the
branch nppellate court reviews the entire
remarkable record of tbe litigation.
"No reason appears why Comer did not
make the payments of the legacy to Miss
McDonnell and obtain his voucher through
any reliable bank," said Judge Freeman.
"Undisputed evidence shows that Comer
took an active interest In procuring at
tachments against the money In his bands
In suits. It Is claimed, he was chiefly In
strumental In having brought against her.
. "Having been unable to get her money,
Miss McDonnell, with Indignation which
appears to have had a righteous founda
tion, expressed herself somewhat forcibly
perhaps as to his conduct. We find no
material error In the record. The Judg
ment Is right and it will be affirmed."
