A few. weeks ago some depositions were taken. Colonel Evans’ deposition was in effect that Mrs. Sather had engaged him and that he had charge of the papers wnich she complained of having lost. The Colonel was Mrs, Bather’s attorney some years ago, when W. J. Dingee was her_agent, and a _demand “was made on Mr. Dingee for $78,254. Evans discov- ered in December, 1597, that Mrs. Sather had guaranteed $11000 of notes due the Oakland Bank of Savings on mortgages on her property, said to have been made by Her agents. ' He also learned that she had made incorrect statements of her claim against her former agent and that these discoveries led to his wathdrawal as her attorney. She then demanded that he return the papers which he held be- ionging to her.” Those papers, according to Evans, were kept in a tin box in M. M. Estee’s safe and he gave it to one of his clerks—a man named -Noyves—with in- structions to deliver It to Mrs. Sather. That was the last he saw of box or pa- pers. Noyes, he said, delivered the box as_instructed. The colonel could pot swear positively that the papers were in the tin box when it was delivered to Mrs. Sather, but he belleved they were. It was also brought out that Mrs. Sather had employed an expert accountant named Woodard to in- vestigate her business affairs, and that he had suddenly and mysteriously gone East. It was also intimated by Attor. A. A. Moore, during the proce ings, that the mortgages held by the sav- ings'bank of Oakland on property alleged to have been purchased by Dingee Mrs. Sather, stood in the names of oth- ers, and that they had mortgaged the property to the bank as security for mon- eys borrowed by Mr. Dingee. for | Mrs. Sather was confident that she had | not received the papers, and in making her deposition she stated that when Col- onel Evans acted as her attorney she turned over to him all the papers relat- ing to her transactions with Mr. Dingee, ‘When the colonel settled with Mrs. Sath- er she says he did not return the valu- able documents, but “a lot of old trash, smelling very strongly of tobacco.” Mrs. Sather also stated that the papers she sought were monthly . statements re- lating to the collection of rents and the purchase and sale of real estate. Bhe believed there were one hundred and ten of these statements not in her possession, and she further believed that they would be of great value to her should she be able to procure them. It was to recover these papers that sult was brought against Coloned Evans for $25,000. About a year ago Mr. Dingee ceased to be the agent of Mrs. Sather and her new agents Heron & Holcomb, put an ex- pert to work on her former accounts. A ittle discrepancy was found and she then employed Colonel Evans as her attorney. Dealings between them were not alt gether satisfactory and Mr. Sanborn be- came her attorney and brought suit to re- cover the missing monthly statements. After tbe takl ms of the depositions vague hints were dropped that all kinds of sensations would be brought forward at the trial.

A, A. Moore and John Sanborn were retained by Mrs. Sather, while Colonel Ewans engaged Morris . M. Estee and Martin & Robin- son. Mr. Dingee protested that he hac turned over everything. to Mrs. Sather and declared that if any of the papers were missing they could be easily dupli- cated, and he would be glad to supply duplicates. He also referred to the fact that he had Mrs. Sather's written ac- knowledgment that a. accounts between them were settled and correct. Now, the missing papers which it was declared existed only in the imagination of Mrs. Sather, haveé been returned to A. ‘A. Moore, Mrs. Sather’s attorney, by Mor- ris M. Estee. Messrs Martin and Robin- son, attorneys of this city haye also been notified by Mr. Estee that the missing tin box has been found and the papers re- turned. “It is true that we have been notified of the return of the papers to Mrs. Sath- er's attorney,” said Attorney Robinson, to-day. “I do not know just what effect: such, an action will have on the suit now on file, but it will probably end it. 1 do not know where_the }gapers have been all this time, but Mr. Ikstee says they are now in the possession of Mrs. Sather's attorneys and. that ends it so far as we are concerned.” ‘W.

I have not seen Col- onel E ns for two years and do not know where he is at present..
