The Day Oonsidored to Have Gone in Favor of tho Atobison People THE DENVER LITIGATION, Spectut Dispatch to The Tribune. _ Denven, Col., July 2.—Every available space {n the United States Court-rooin was occupted this morning by interested apovtators, lawyers, Government officlats, railroad munates, and others, Senator Jones, of Nevada, occupying a deat within tho bar. Two tmportant matters drew togother this assembly, the first belmg to Meten to Justice Miller charalng the jury in ‘the great mine caso of Stoyens & Leiter against dames Willlams, the other belng the ereat railroad case betweon the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe against the Denver & Riv Grande Rallroad. Justlvo AfiNer occupied nearty tye hours Charging the jury {ni the minacase. At 11:00 Judge Beckwith arose, announeliy hls readiness to proceed with the caso of Meyer, Trustee of the firat-mortgaga bondholders of the Denver & Rio Grande against the Denyer & Rlo Grande Rallroad Company, tn which H. Av Risley was appolnted Receiver of sald Railroad Company’s property by aBtate Court, Judze Bowen pre- siding, This being docketed in the United Btates Court, Judge Beckwith illcd wu petition foran order upon Recetyer Risley to turn over the property forthwith, coupling: bls remarks with a reqtcat that the Atehison, Topeka & Santa Fo Company be made'n party to the suit. Supporting the petition, Jude Beckwito of- fered a certified copy of the proceedings in the cnet, Alter all tha panors had bean fled, Judge Beckwith began his remarks as follows: “Upon the pavers betore the Court we a: tthe Re- ceiver in the case of Meyer agatnst the Denver w& Klo Grande Company bo directed to return tne oroperty fn controveray to the Atchison Company, Wo .also ask for the protection of our rights in. the Suture; that the Atchison Company be allowed “to be- come a party to the ait montioned. Lentlrely agree with your Honor's suggestion, that ordinarily the Court will not allow third parties to beeunte plaintiffs or delendants too wuit avalnst the wall of those who are pire fies thereto, but., your Honor will allow me to sugvest thut when a Court of Chancery: takes possession of a Receiver, or # Cuurt of Adiniralty tates property tto Ite cus- touy, the parties showing to the Court that they: have an inéereat in the property to be affected py thé determination of the controversy ought to be allowed tu cotne in and be made parties, If the ‘strunger comes to the Court ani says that ita offleer has wrongfully take ‘possession of his property, in stich cage he 0; have no Interest in tue litigation, und ou not to be a‘purty; but ff an ofhcer of the Court, tukes possession of the property of one who has an futerest-1n. Une: litigation, then 1 sub- mit that, under practice in chaucery, os well sa in admiralty, nnd under practice avcord- tu to the civiLlaw, the Court will allow him to become a party, nyt-ouly for the purpuse of faving his property restored, but that ute rights may not be “prejudiced’ by the litlea- ton, if possewslun ia not tuken of the property, a decree would = not affect rights uf one not made a party. If, how- ever, possession has been taken of the property by te Court officer, aud is to by dis- posed of by the Court, the owner bas an Intercat to prevent the decree of the Court from creating acloud upon his title, Such Is the present case. ‘The bill filed by Moyer alleges that between $500,000 and $600,000 of coupons attached to bonds Issued by the Denver ds Kio Grande Company. are impaired. We say tliat wo ore able to :produce proof that theso cou- pous have beeu impaired; that these partivs: advertised that they would pay them}; that they sold the bonds of the Denver Company to poy them; that they re- celyed money for such bonds; und tint they ac- tually, did pay the coupons in question, We subont that, under these fects, they should not be allowed to vo on in this suit, aud obtain a judgment or decree uyalnst the Denver & Riv Graude Company, apparently binding our property without giving us pa up- portunity to show that in tact these very cou- pons have been paid. The Atchison Company Dns an Interest in that question. If tts property bad not been geized--if the Court had it nop in its custouy—the Atchtzun Coim- pauy might set them all at deflance. It might say to them: * We care nothing for your decree, n8 Wo ara not parties: thereto.’ “The Court bas, however, taken possession of our proverty: We ask to make party in thls cause, Ib order to protect our rizhts, We aleo usk a return of the property, on ground which, I think, Je well sottled. 1 wilt not troubvls your Honors with authorities on the polut. ‘Che rule is that the Court which frat acquires jurisdiction of the parties and of the property will retain that nrisdiction ns against oll other Courts. ‘his question was ralsed, at an early day fo my _ professional fife, in tho ~ case of the Ohio Loun & Trast Company at Cin- vinnotl, on which the opinion of the Court was Wellverud by Judge McLeau. dn that cuse the Revetver hud been appointed by the State Court. ‘The questiou arose whether the State ur Federal Court bad first eligi Jurisdiction, ‘The Court ordered a rule upon the Iecelver of the Btate | = =Court to show = caure why ho should not deliver the property to the Recelyer appointed vy the United States Court, ‘The Court subsequently made the rule absolute, for the reason thut, under the circumstances of the case, the United States Court had first acquired Jurisdiction of the purifies nud of the res in controversy. ‘The rulo laid down In what case .bas been svcd upon in overy circuit in the United States, Severul cuses have ogeurred within my own nowledge whers the rote bas becn sustyine & In the Gaylord case,ra- ported in Bisset, Judge Drummond held that Where the United Stutcs Court had qurleciey tion of the parties aut of the res ju controversy, the Btate Court could uot acquire - jurisdiction of the res by appolntiog. a Kecetyer. ln that case the Ke- ceiver sppolnted, by the State Court had taken poste jon of the property: but the Untied tutes Court, by rale, compelled him to sur- Teuder the property toa Receiver appoloted by the Unlted States Court. ‘The same rul- dug wus made ju the case of the Rockford & Rock Island Mullroad, re- ported in Bissell. An _ opinion — wus delivered in that cuso by Judge Drummond, and ® very able opinion by Judge Blodgett, sustuine ing the right of the Court Urst obtalumpy juris- Gictlon to rotalu the same.
