BURNS CONTINUES HIS STORY Defendant in Big Mining Sult Con- tradicts Nine of Doyle's Witnesse defendant in Friday to tell he with James Doyle, ng enterprises in to the formation James F. the big mining suit story of his the plaintiff, in their mi | Oripple Creek, which I of the Portland Gold Mining company, of which he s president. He was on the stand all day, but his examination fatigued him and former Governor Thomas so that at 4 o'clock Judge Green adjourned court in deference to thelr request. His testimony was a specific contradiction of the evidence given by nine witnesses for Doyle, Includ- ing that of Mrs. Steadman, who was the only woman, it is said, on Battle mountain in the early days of the Cripple Creek camp, and whom Mr. Burne said he did not even know. Taking up the story of his early days in Cripple Creek where he left off Thursday evening, he told how Doyle went back to the camp about the middle of August, 1862, because he could not find work in Colorad Springs, and thought he could get emplay- ment in the camp. He told briefly of the fight in the cabin which was related by O'Halre with so much relish, and said that the trouble started through his relocating the Bobtall No. as the Yellow Jacket. He did not do any more work on the Yellow Jacket after the fight In the cabin, for fear of further trouble. He sald that from May 1, 1892, to January 1, 1893, he furnished all the living supplies that were used by him and Doyle in camp. the money at the rate of $5 a week being furnished by his sisters. He told of re- locating the Maude White claim as the | Tidal Wave, on which Doyle assisted him | to sink the shaft, Doyle offering his serv- ices, as he had nothing else to do and had been living oft him in the cabin He sald that Doyle never did development work on the Devil's Own or the Bobtall No. 2. He sank two shafts on the Bobtail No. 2 in November and Decem- ber, 1892, striking the ore vein at eight feet. About the same time John Harnan struck ore on tke Portland. He told of Doyle's agreeing give John Harnan a third Interest in the Portland in considera- tion of his dolng the assessment work The first ore was shipped from the Port- land In January, 1893, which netted $400, and this was equally divided between the wituess, Doyle and Harnan. About this time the witness said he sold a fourth in terest in the Bobtail No. 2 to Frank Peck for $500 cash, out of which money he pald Tom Harnan for his work on the claim. At this polut his testimony related to the Incidents leading up to the organiza- tion of the Portland Gold Mining com- pany. In May, 1893, an adverse clalm was file1 against the Bobtail No. 2 and the witness gave an attorney named Harrison A one-fourth interest in it to defend it. Shortly after there were forty lawsuits on the Portland and Bobtail. Doyle, the wit- ness and Harnan employed Harrison to defend the Portland and in September also retained Senator Patterson. In February, 1893, the second shipment of ore from the Portland netted $2,100 and shortly after the witness sold the Bobtail to Devereux, Burns, continued relations ny of the to and $3,000 In sixty days, the money being divided among the witness, Peck and Har- rison. Doyle, he said, knew the money bad been paid and never made any claim for a share of it. He then told of the sale of the Portland to Condon & Crosby and how they were unable to meet the second payment and how in March, 1594, the Portland company was formed and the.purchase by it of the Portland and the Bobtall No. 2 and the lasyance of the stock In payment, as tes- tified to by Peck. When O'Halre began sult against the witness and Doyle it was declded that the attorneys for the company should defend both sults. He sald that at the outset of the O'Haire litigation Doyle put his stock nis name to entitle him to act as a director of the company. One hundred thousand of Doyle's shares were placed in the witness' name and the rest in the name of Kate Burns as trustee, In July, 1895, the company bought the Tidal Wave and Devil's Own from the wit- ness, paying 375,000 shares for them. Burns said he gave 25,000 each to Doyle and Peck out of the shares he received. He denled the statements made by John Kilday when on the stand for Doyle and sald the first time he had seen Klilday to know him was when he was pointed out to him on the train coming to Council Bluffs at the first trial in October. At this point in his testimony court ad- Journed. Underwood Seeks Incorporation.
