Gently on his way to New York. He
steadfastly refused to make known the
OBJECT OF his visit to the metropolis
more than to admit that he had pretty
thoroughly discussed the whole re-
ownership matter with the parties in
interest in New York. He was much
chagrlned at the erroneous renorts
published in the Chicago PAPERS that

Judges as 10 whether or not the action

tnat there was no truth in the storv
that Judges Hanford and Gilbert he-

Judges are friendly to me- 1 have dis
cussed the case with the people in
New York, and 1 may say that thew
are friendly to me. Brayton Ives is
friendly to me, and Mr.. Adams iS

ABOUT the case, but was little more
communicative than his client.

there is to it, but if an opposite decis-

AS to what the chalaeterrofa this news
was likely to be Mr.. Underwood main
tanned strict silence, but limited that
1t might come soon after the action Of
the court at Seattle.
Mr.. Underwood said that the suit
brought against Mr.. Burleigh by
George r. Newell & Co. had been
placed in the hands of Judge NJ B.
koon, Of Minneapolis, who would sub
NIT the defense when the proper time
arrived. Speaking of the case Mr..
Underwood had the following to say:
Il do not care to discuss MIR. Bur
trial, but | may say this much Mr..
Burleigh had no suspicion that Newell
entertained any such claim as is now
made until / telegraphed him from
New York some five or six weeks ago.
that | was informed some one named
Newell in Minneapolis had been writ
ing letters vilifying him, Burleigh
and asking who Newell was, and he
was very much surprised that Newell
should have sued him. Over seven
years have elapsed since the transac-
ton, out of which Mr. Newell makes
his claim, took place and from that
time until he heard of Mr. Newells
letters, he had no idea that Mr. Newell
was in any way hostile to him. much
less that he made any claim of any
kind against him.
The two gentlemen left for the West
on the Northern Pacific overland train
yesterday.
