THE BURT BABY CASE Up.
Arguments Upon the Report OF
Referee Harris.
MR.. JONES SCORES BURT
The Attorney Charges the Ex-Sherif
With Conspiracy.
Judge Powers Will Close for Mr.. Burt OF
Monday-A Number of Short Orders
Made by Judge zane-New
Suits Commenced.

The hearing on motion to amend and
modify the decree of Referee harris in
the Burt baby case was brought up in the
Third district court yesterday. and what
was expected to be matter which would
occupy but short time developed into a
long and tedious case, which took the at
tention of the court nearly all day, and
was not concluded when the court arose
at O CLOCK
@. S. Varian and o. w. Powers APP |
peared on behalf of Mr.. Burt and Jones
& Schroeder represented Mrs. Burt, now
Mrs. Snyder.
Mr.. Varian appeared and went into a |
lengthy review of the evidence adduced |
in the divorce case, with the object OF
showing that the referee's decision
awarding the custody OF the child to Mrs.
Burt was altogether wrong, and that Mrs.
Burt was not fit and proper person to
be entrusted with the care and training of
a child. The Cottonwood and Ogden
incidents were re-hashed, as we'll as the
Garfield beach episode of last summer.
| A large number of nauseatlng love let
! ters which Mrs. Burt was said to have re-
ceived from different men, and the an
swers she had sent were reproduced until
Judge Zane remarked that he thought
the writers must be crazy and declined TO
listen to any more OF them.
| Mr. Vavian made a long argument and
contested nearly all OF the findings of the
referee.
Mr.. Jones followed next in support of
Mrs. Burt's claim and made strong
plea that the report and decision of the
referee should stand. Mr.. Burt came in
for most scathing arrangement at the
haDds of Mr.. Jones, who charged MIN
with having conspired and used most
foul means to accomplish the ruin OF his
own wife, and denounced Burt's side of
! the case as a conspiracy from start 10
finish. Mrs. Burt (now Snyder) was in
court and sat with Mr.. Morgan, her
| father.
The arguments will be continued on
Monday, when Judge Powers will speak
| for the ex-sheriff's side.
