one of which is that the defendant and

The Dockman-Dekreko Bros. trouble
was aired in Judge Clancy's court this
afternoon, the matter being brought up
on an order to show cause why the de-
PENDANTS should not be punished for con-
tempt for the alleged taking Of a trunk
which belonged to the paraphernalia of
the Dekreko Theatrical company, which
is now in the hands of Receiver Billy
Woods. Henry Dekreko gave testimony
and submitted the contract entered into
by all the members of the company at
Denver last year. 1t was written in the
Armenian language and as long as the
book of Norman. Notwithstanding it
was written in a foreign language Henry
read it in English, with commendable
fluency. When paragraph No. 2 was
reached plaintiff ockm asked that it
be switched back into Armenian and back
it went. The judge, Dockman, his attor-
neys and Woods seemed to be we'll salts
fled with the interpretation, declaring
that the reading in English was exactly
like the wording in Armenian, and Henry
then resumed the reading in English.
The seance began shortly after 2 p. m.
and at $3.50 the witness was still reading
the contract. Taken as a whole, 1t was
as technical as an attorneys objections
in the trial of a suit. and as sound as a
bound copy of Greek philosophy.
After finishing the contract Henry tes-
titled that he had not touched the prop
erty alleged to have been taken by him.
but Jean Dekreko had taken it. In. this
connection, however, he would state that
there was nothing in the order made by
the court requiring the trunk to be turned
over to the receiver. He had been in this
country Is years and this was the first
time he had ever been under arrest. Had
l not got someone to go on my bond
said he. IT would now be in JAIL"
At o'clock the end was not in sight.
