KELBY PUTS IT AT $15,000 Iixprrl Trillmnnr in Federal trlct Court A)irnr to Differ n to Services for Trl-Stntc Innil Company. J?pe1rt1Itll!nonjr 8 nv"kNJ .thc federal district court In Omaha to deter- mine what C. C. Flansburg of Lincoln should receive from tho Trl-State Iand company as attorney's fees in a case ho handled for them three years ago In western Nebraska. Flansburg Is suing for J200.00Q attorney's, fees. What hts services were actually worth was n big question with the court. So T. J. Mahoney, attorney in Omaha, was called on tho stand to testify as to What Flansburg's legal services should bo worth for handling thc caso Involving the water right of the Farmers' Canal company In wentem Nebraska, should bo worth. Mahoney wus called because he Is a lawyer of wldo experience and should know what fees should be charged. Mahoney estimated the services of Flansburg should be orth $110,(00. That was cutting Flansburg's claim $50,000 al ready. Hut the opinion of one lawyer on the -witness stand was not enough. James K. Kclby, formerly of Omaha, now of 1ms Angeles, was called to tho stand to say whut ho thought tho services were worth. Kelby said they should bo worth at least tS.O0O. "Some difference In expert opinions," mused several of the lawyers In thc court room. "Still Kclby Is looked upon as a competent witness, nnd It ho did not cstlmato Flansburg's services highly enough, Kelby should worry- Uocn he not know what the work was worth? Ho had charge of the work under Flansburg when the the big case Involving tho water right was on. Kelby, working un der Flansburg, did most of the work on the case. And now when Flansburg oskB for $330,000 In attorney's fees, hero comes Kclby, tho man who did the real work, and says it was worth but $15,000." The caso awaits thc deliberation of the court. Declares He Had No Accomplices in the Theft of 'Mona Lisa' ' FLORI3NCK, Dec 14. Vlncenzo Peru lgla, from whom Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa" was recovered, declared absolutely to the police today that ho had no accomplices, cither di rect or indirect. In the theft of tho paint ing from tho Louvre. Nobody know or his plan before its execution; nobody saw him when ho abstracted tho picture and nobody knew ho had the plcturo In Ills possession. "I did not take the painting through a desire for gain," he Bald, "hut wished to accomplish a good and holy work by icturnlng to my country one of the many treasures stolen from it." While working In tho Louvre, he con tinued, ho was overcome with shame on hearing visitors Indicate the best works as Italian. One day ho took this oath; "I will bo unworthy of Italy If I do not return to It one of these mater pleocs." Tho idea obsessed him and the "Mona Lisa" was ever before hlrti. When ho could delay no longor ho found he could accomplish his purpose without great difficulty, as ho was already known by emnlovea about the building. After tho theft he was Interrogated by tho police, but his frankness and his request that they search his room disarmed busplcion. Similarly, when ho crossed thu French frontier, ho so readily opened his work box for the authorities that they neg lected to search It. Apparently it con tained only a few rags and his-tools. Perugia declared that he did not Intend to sell the plcturo to the government, but ho thought ho ought to hnve adequate compensation for tho "giuat seavico rendered Italy." Shift Boss Saying He Saw Lopez Won't Enter Mine Again BINGHAM. Utah. Dee. 14.-Shlft Iloss Sam Rogers resigned his position today and left Bingham. Not for the world, he said, would he ever again enter the Utah-Apex mine, the stronghold ot Ilalph Lopez, unerring gunman. Halted by tho objections of mine owners, the sheriffs und deputies who seek the slayer of six men, after a day of Idleness, tonight resumed searching the workings. Tho process of searching a, section of the mine and then bulk heading It up, so as to eliminate that part from further consideration Is be ginning to halt mining operations and this the owners opposed. After a legal conference, however, the company with drew its objection late today. Rogers told early today of having talked with Lopez twice In the Andy tunnel during tho last two days, and of the desperado remarking they, would meet again today. But when the time came for the shift boss to enter the tunnel, he was well on his- way to Salt Lake City. "I did not are ills ghost, I aw Lopez- Lopez, smiling but with eyes like coals j of fire," declared Rogers. whose i shoulders nre bent from years In low roofed stopes. Not a man In Bingham doubts his word, but there are many who arc will ing to bet he saw a ghost.
