CROSS EXAMINATION SEVERAL MORE Denies that He Promised to Give Doyle More Stork When Litiga tion Over the Portland Was Concluded. The direct examination of James F. Burns, the defendant in the Doyle-Bums suit, occupied the entire day yesterday and was not completed when court adjourned for the day. It Is expected, however, that Congressman Smith will be through with the direct examination of the witness at noon today and he will then be turned over to Charles J. Hughes, Jr., counsel for the plaintiff, for cross-examination, which it is anticipated will last two or three days. Mr. Hughes arrived yesterday morning from Denver for the speclul purpose of cross-examining Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns, as on the previous day, proved himself a good witness. While naturally of a somewhat nervous disposi tion his answers, however, are quick and decisive and at no time evasive. Ills testi mony yesterday covered a wide range of matters bearing on his associations with the plaintiff and the history of the mining claims Involved In the suit. In substance his testimony yesterday wag as follows: Burns Continues Testimony. E. M. Stevenson, who went to Cripple Creek with ODrlsvoll and 1, left us No vember 24, 1891. O Drlscoll, O'Halre and I relocated the Devil's Own on January 22, 1892. Doyle, O Drlscoll and 1 jbullt a cabin near Wilson's creek, which we occupied up to the time of the fight with ODrlscoll and O'Hairo. After that tlrrie we never went back to the cabin. Shortly after Feb ruary 2 Doyle and I located some claima In Fremont county. Doyle and I went to work sinking the discovery shaft on the Portland February 17, 1892. I helped Doyle sink that shaft at that time and he In turn helped me with the discovery shaft on the Prof. Orlbbs. My Bisters, Jennie and Kate, wero the ones that supplied me with money dur ing the year 1S92. During the summer and early fall of 1892 I tried to secure a settle ment and partition of the clajms with O'Halre and O'Drlscoll. Frank G. Peck acted as the gobetween and on October 10 of that year O'Halre and O'Drlscoll deeded their interests. In the Bob Tall 2 and tho Devil's Own to me and I conveyed the other four claims to them. Harnan uncovered the vein In the Portland at almost the Identical time that I struck the same vein on the Bob Tall 2. In the early fall of 1892 Harnan offered to discover a vein on the Portland for a quarter Interest In the same. 1 wrote to Doyle about the matter and he authorized me to make that arrangement. After Harnan found the vein on the Port land, about December, 1892, we went down to Colorado Springs, where Dovle had been since the middle of August, and executed a deed to a third Interest In the Portland to Harnan. I had given Harnan the quarter interest In the Devil's Own, for protecting It and doing work upon It. At Christmas time In 1892 I sold Peck a quarter Interest In the Bob Tall 2 for- $600. and used this money In procuring the patent on Bob Tall 2 and Portland. Doyle knew of this. Doyle never did any work on the Devil's Own at ?ily" H"le r.ac,k Harnan anl myself sold the Bob Tall 2 to Devereux nd we re ceived 37,000. Harnan took a fourth of the ""tey. Peck a fourth and I one-half. Doyle and I had sold out a two-thirds Interest In the Portland to Finn, who paid us 310 000 niyI0 rc'ved 35.000 of this amount and i !L' H.!brnn na1 mftd a separate con tH"?! wJth F,n,n for hta Interest In the Portland. Condon, Stratton. Vaile and some others organized the Portland Gold Mining company. About the 30th of March, 1894, the purchasers said they could not R??1i0mi and ottcrei to turn the Portland Gold Mining company over to us. There waa a great deal of discussion about the ownership when all were present. It was naJly ""rans-ed that we were to receive 600,000 shares of stock for the Portland Doyle received his full share of the stock less 46,000 sharea that were Issued 1 on ac ll"J; .f the Portland bonded lease, and 300,000 Bhares were Issued for the Bob Tail 2. Twenty-one thousand shares of thif went to Condon, Devereux and Crosby be cause Of 1 he r.a ah !,. I... J ij !

Doyle did not offer to pay any more. At that time Doyle made no claim of any Interest In the Devil's Own or Tidal Wave. I never told Doyle that when the litigation affecting the Portland prop erty was ended that I would recognize and concede his claim to any interest In the Devil's Own and Tidal Wave."

Munday had his grip packed and was preparing to start for Kansas City to visit relatives before returning to Colo rado Springs when the subpoena waa served upon him. TWO HOVSEBREAKERS BIX DOWN Deputy sheriff Gronevreaj: Makes la Good Cateh. Deputy Sheriff W. A. Oroneweg made a good catch yesterday afternoon when, after a long chase, he ran down and captured two strangers wbo had broken Into the res idence of former City Electrician James O. Bradley on Harrison street. The men gave the names of Ed Burns and Charles Moore, ant) from their own statements and articles found on them are believed by the police to be members of an organized gang of Burglars. After dinner yesterday afternoon Mrs. Bradley drove her huaband to the city hall and returned without delay to her home. On putting the latch key in the front door she discovered the door waa unlocked, but that ahe could. not open it owing to some thing having been placed against it on the Inside. She started to go to the back door and on looking In the dining room window saw two men In the room. She gave the alarm but before assistance arrived the men, seeing they were d It covered, ruahed from the house and across lots to First street. Crossing the yard of Gus Helsler, Mr. Helsler mads an attempt to stop them, when they each drew a revolver on him and warned him to keep off. Deputy Sheriff Oroneweg was driving n Washington avenue when the hue and cry was begun and he at ones started to head the men off. At Scott street ha saw the men making their way over Oakland avenue and he called to them to halt. They only ran the taatrr, and Deputy Oroneweg, abandoning his horse and buggy, started after taesa a foot, at the (tuse time tak ing several shots at tha fleeing men. Reach ing North Sixth street the men, with Orone weg; close at their heels, rsn Into the kitchen of th residence of former Fire Chief John Templeton. They had hardly finished telling Mr. Templeton that a man had attempted to hold them up when Oroneweg reached the house. He ordered the men to hold up their hands, which they did, while Templeton went through their pockets, relieving each of a loaded revolver. When Beached at the city Jail the men were found to have In their possession a pair of russet leather opera glasses In a blue plush bag. several Columbian half dol lars, two one dollar gold pieces nnd a num ber of silver half dimes. They made no denial Tof having entered the Bradley home by means of a skeleton key, of which they had a number, but had been unable to se cure any plunder before Mrs. Bradley re turned home and discovered them. They said they arrived In the city Wednesday and that there were three or four other fellows doing the same work here. Beyond this the men declined to give any further Information, but stated that they realized they were up against it and were ready to take their medicine, which they hoped to make as light as possible by pleading guilty.
