terson was his attorney as you said
q while ago?
/ don't know.
What made you advise Burns that
the will of July, 1897, would be invalid
unless he gave something to his
kindred?
Wallace cited the law and said that
courts were uniformity against cutting
off natural heirs without q penny.
Suppose, Mr.. Wallace, the first will
leaving everything to Lamb had been
declared void by the courts, who would
have inherited the property?
don't know.
Lamb and other kindred would have
got it just the same, would they not?
Yes, l. guess so.
When you explained the law to
Burns, while making the first will, who
did you tell him would get the pro-
perty?
1 didn't know.
Wouldn't Lamb have got it any
way?
guess so.
Didn't you know Lamb would have
inherited it anyway, whether he re-
moved to America or not
1 guess SO.
Attorney Wallace continued answer
ing questions and said that when the
will was drawn up he was sitting on
the north side of his desk and Burns
was opposite to him and remained
there until the will was executed.
Q-Wssn't he in feeble health?
Al do not think so.
Wasn't it we'll known among all
Burps's friends that he was in feeble
health from 1896 until he died?
Yes, L believe 1t was.
HOW THE SECRET WAS KEPT.
Odd you tell anyone about the ex-
ecution of a will in favor of Charley
Patterson?
Ayes, 1 told Schaeffer, "Kid"
Grayson and O'Connor and when 1
went home L told my parents.
What did you tell them?
L said Patterson would be in good
shape some day when Burns died.
Didn't you say We would be in
good shape?
No, l dom think did.
Burns wanted the execution of the
will kept secret, didn't he?
Yes, sir.
Weren't you his attorney and sup
posed not to divulge the secrets of
your client?
Yes, sir.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-11-15

their evidence varies widely and one
the other.
Continuing, Attorney Wallace said.
"Burns was of sufficient mental ,capa-
city to make a will. He had mind OF
more than ordinary strength and was
very sssertive. He was at our once
almost every week and seemed to nave
the greatest confidence in Patterson.
The firm never received a cent from
Burns in the way OF fees"
CROSS EXAMINED.
Cross examined by w. w. Turney:
Witness came to Ell Paso in 1894 and
formed q partnership with Patterson.
The contract was that he should get
a small portion of the earnings OF the
firm, but Patterson broke it the first
year and gave him half. From that
time on all incomes were divided
equally, except the salary received by
Patterson, as recorder of the city.
O.-"When did you first know
Burns?" asked Attorney Turney.
An 1894, when the firm became
bis attorney.
According to the firm contract If
Burns paid 300: as fee you received
half?
Yes, sir; but Burns never paid US
anything for services; Patterson al
toned the matter.
But you were receiving half whether
Burns or Smith paid anything?
Yes, sir.
Was anything ever said about ex-
cepting Burns?
No.
You said that when Burns called at
your Office on July "a, 1897, you asked
him why he wanted to change his will:
What did he say?
He said Patterson had been his
friend long time: had defended many
suits for him and saved him lots of
money and that Lamb had treated him
badly. For those reasons he wanted
Patterson to get his property. l made
two previous wills for Burns. In the
second will he left all his property to
Lamb and other kindred on condition
that they remove'to America advised
him not to place any restrictions upon
the heirs, explaining to him that it
might invslidate the instrument.
WALLACE EXPOUNDS THE LAW.
Q.-You believed the second will to
be nullity when you wrote 1t, did
you not, Mr.. Wallace?
Al did
You were Burns's attorney, were you
not?
Yes sir, was.
Why did Burns come to you, If Pat

natives, from it's resemblance to horse
hair, grows luxuriantly attaining q
height of 25 to 80 inches. This grass
is utilized in the manufacture of mat

many of their sins and mistakes.
One of the grandest agencies which en-
1ightened Science has discovered to relieve
motherhood from excessive suffering is the
"Favorite Prescription - devised by DR..
R. v. Pierce, chief consulting physician of
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y. This wonderful " Pre-
scription - imbues the entire nervous sys-
tenn with natural healthy vitality; gives
elastic vigor to the delicate organism spe-
cially concerned in motherhood; renders
the prospective mother strong and cheerful
and makes the coming of baby entirely free
from danger and almost free from pain.
The delighted gratitude of Mrs. Pearl
Walton, of Alvo Cass Co., Neb., will find
echo in the heart of every expectant
mother:
Previous to the birth of my child writes
Mrs. Walton, " I had appetite, was sick at my
stomach. had headache, could not rest at night,
was completely worn out i'll every way. 1 COM
