START ON THE BURNS CASE
Ono Witness Examined to Enable Him to
Return to His Home in Colorado .
TELLS OF HiS TALKS WITH HERSHEY
la dsbataare the Testimony Was the
game as Contained In Affidavit
Already on Fl In the
(sac.
Judge Thortiell in the district court
yesterday afternoon stopped the trial of
the Dorn ft McQlnnlty-Cooper libel suit
sufficiently long to take the testimony of
Philip J. Lonergan of Denver, one of the
witnesses for James Doyle against Jacob
Hershey, charged by Doyle with attempt
ing to tamper with the Jury before which
was tried last year his suit against James
F. Burns, former president of the Portland
Gold Mining company. It was stated that
Mr. Lonergan, wiio arrived from Denver
yesterday morning, was anxious to return
there last night, so Judge Thornell con
sented to having his testimony taken.
The hearing will be resumed Monday.
Doyle, accompanied by Mr. Lbnergan.
George Marshland and John Kllday, wit
nesses for him. arrived hei yesterday
morning as did former Oovernor C. S.
Thomas of Denver, counsel for James F.
Burns. Mr. Thomas returned to Colorado
lt evening, but will be back here Mon
day, when the heating Is resumed. Hershey
Is represented In court by Attorneys I. N.
Fllcklngr.r and Charles M. Harl.
The testimony of witness Lonergan was
substantially a repetition of the state
ments made In his affidavit which was
presented to the court last Wednesday
when Doyle filed his charge against
Hershey. The direct examination of the
witness was brief, not occupying more
than twenty minutes, but his cross-examination,
which was conducted by Attorney
Harl, was very rigid and occupied over
two hours.
Tells of Interviews.
The testimony of the witness was prin
cipally In relation to the two Interviews
which he claimed to have had with Hershey
In Colorado Springs about six weeks aao.
The first Interview was between himself
and Hershey alone, hut at the second
meeting Doyle was present. At these In
tervlews. Lonergan testilied, Hershey ad
mitted receiving J100 from Burns' agents
and declared that although he had pre
viously taken a deep Interest In the suit
for Burn he thought Doyle ought to have
a new trial and complained that Burns
had not treated him just tight. It was
at the first Interview, so the witness
testified, that Hershey procured a letter,
one paragraph of which he showed to
Lonergan, but kept the letter so folded
that the witness was unable to read the
signature or heading. The paragraph
shown him, the witness testified, read
As you well know Burns' small, nlca
yunlsh way of treating- evervbodv down
here hurts, and as you know I am sitting
on the lid holding down and back the evi
dence that would give the plaintiff, Doyle,
a new trial.
This letter Lonergan testified he sought
to Induce Hershey to surrender to Doyle
and that "-at "first Hershey consented to do
so, but later stated he did not think he
ought to until he had consulted his "law
yer friend" In Council Bluffs. At the
second Interview, at which Doyle was said
to be present, the witness testified that
Hershey repeated the statements made to
him at the first meeting. These state
ments, so the witness said, also referred
to two Juror who boarded near the Neu
mayer hotel and one who boarded there
part of the time of the trial.
It was
these three Juror whom Hershey, so the
witness stated, claimed had been given
copies of the lien filed by Wright & Bald
win on the first judgment obtained by
Doyle.
Croas-Examlnatlona.
Lonergan, on cross-examination, was
asked by counsel for Hershey If the notes
of hi conversation with Hershev, which
the witness claimed he made a few hours
fter the Interview and subsequently tran
scribed by a stenographer, were not dic
tated by a lawyer and committed to memory
ty tne witness. Lonergan replied with con
siderable emphasis that the notes were a
typewritten copy of his pencil notes of his
Interview and had In no manner, shape, or
form been dictated by any lawyer.
The witness admitted he was a personal
friend of Doyle and that he had been Inter
ested In helping him secure a new trial, but
denied having any financial Interest In the
outcome of the suit against Burns. During
nia cross-examination It was brought out
that Hershey, on being Importuned to make
an affidavit on behalf of Doyle, had stated
that he could hardly see his way clear to
do so In view of the fact that he had re
ceived $100 of Burna' money and that Lon
ergan had suggested to him that he could
make it an easy matter for him to nav back
the money to Bima. Also that Hershey had
stated that he had a mining lease which he
did not want to leave and that Lonergan
had made him an offer to purchase It. The
witness declared that his desire to nur-
rhase the mining lease was genuine, aa he
considered It a good Investment, and denied
that the offer was made In any manner to
Induce Hershey to make the affidavits asked
or him.
Soma amusement was caused when coun
sel asked the witness if It was not strange
that a complete stranger as Hershey was at
the time to him should have unbosomed
himself In the manner he was said to haw
done Miid the witness replied. "Why he
fairly took my breath away with Ids state
ments." At the conclusion of Lonergan's testimony
the further hearing waa continued to Mon
day. Counsel for the prosecution Informed
the court that It would offer four more wit
nesses and the defense indicated that It
would Introduce at least fifteen. This being
the case, it I likely the hearing will lust
several days.
The case against Hershey In Justice Gar
diners court was yesterday taken on
change of venue to the court of Justice
Field, but It Is not likely that It will be
tried before the completion of the hetrtng
In the district court.
A Correction.
By an unfortunate error in name, an
actlcle In the World-Herald Friday waa
made to say that J. L. Smith Waa the mun
, who filed an information against Moses
zomes. charging the latter with adultery.
The Information was filed by Julius Brown,
who accuses Zornes of Illicit relations with
Brown's wife. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have
no connection with the case, and a cor
rection and apology are due them for an
error which has caused them much "un
deserved embarrassment.
stadent a Good Artor.
Paul Aylesworth. a student at the Men
school, was arrested- yesterday afternoon
oa Broadway as a vagrant and for begging
on the afreets. He was being Initiated Into
the Mega Eta Tju society, and to dre.-s up
a truuy aud arnad Willi a touiato cauj
to beg alms on the public streets was one of
the stunts he was required to perform. He
acted the part so well that a policeman
thought he was the real thing and placed
him under arrest. Aylesworth kept mum,
but some of the students gave the thing j
away and the policeman finally tumbled
and told Aylesworth to go home arid take
his masquerade costume off.

velops today that though there likely will
be a stiff fight in the committee on In
surance there Is likely to be reported from
the committee a bill for a commission to
Investigate the Insurance business. It Is
more than likely, though, that the commis
sion will make Its Investigations along the
line of the Warren bill rather than the
Molsbcrry resolution. This would cut out
all publicity, as there would be no open
hearings or examination of witnesses. The
commission would merely report recom
mendations based on Information to be
gained from the auditor's office. The
standpatters are accusing the Cummin
people of being In favor of reform except
this particular reform. The Cummin, peo
ple are accusing the standpatter of In
troducing the resolution at this time pri
marily to attract attention away from the
primary election law and anti-pass law
and that It Is not a bona fide movement
for reform. They allege further that It
I one of the standpat scheme to keep
the legislature so busy that It cannot reach
the primary law.
