Claim Of Brown & Wright
man for $6500 Legal Fees
In Gilbert Bank Case Tried
Before Judge Boise

It Is a case Of lawyer against lawyer
in Judge Boise's department OF the
circuit court The case on trial Is that
of the claim OF Brown & Wrightman
against the Gilbert bank estate. for
$4,000 fees for legal services alleged
TO have been rendered the estate prior
to the time Il was placed in the hands
Of a permanent receiver. In the hear
ing Of the case the majority Of the le-
gal talent Of the city is represented.
The semi.circle within the bar is
crowded at each sitting OF the court.
During the extended cross-examina-
tion Of a witness Friday afternoon one
OF the lawyers In attendance. who,
however. was merely a spectator, took
a short nap. The proceeding is te-
dious one, and at the progress that
was made yesterday the case will not
be decided in time to get in on the dis
bursement OF the funds Of the bank by
the receiver, that will probably be or
dered by the court before long.
Carson g. Adams appeared for
Brown g. wrightmans the claimants.
Kaiser g. Slater, J. H. McNary and Il.
J. Fleming were among those who rep
resented the creditors and objected to
the claim. When the court was con
yened Carson asked for permission 10
Introduce the deposItIons OF Portland
lawyers as TO the justness OF his eli.
ents claim. Kaiser and Slater both
objected, alleging that before the
court can receive any expert testimony
as 10 the value Of the services rem
dered. evidence must be offered as 10
what services had been performed.
The objection was overruled, and Mr..
Carson read the deposition OF Judge c.
H. Carey. Of Portland. The substance
OF the deposition was that the legal
services rendered the estate by the
claimants in the United States district
court IN the litigation wherein Emma
Johnson was the plaintiff was reason.
ably worth S2500. and that the ser.
Vices rendered In the same capacity In
the bankruptcy court were worth from

whom II had been agreed to get a sec.
ond deposition was otherwise en-.
gagged for the day. so there was but
single statement OF the kind to be in.
troduced in the court.

John Bayne was The preliminary
Witness for the claimants. He testified
that he was referee IN bankruptcy in

steps in the Gilbert Bros. bank liti.
cation occupied six days time in his
department

was the next witness. He stated that

Cosper heirs had brought action
against the members OF the banking
firm asking for an accounting Of the
funds Of the estate. and the oppolnt.
ment OF a receiver. In this relation
Mr.. Brown stated further that his firm
made a demurrer TO the complaint.
made affidavit and counter affidavits In
opposition TO the appointment of a re.
ceiver, which had been petitioned for.
had prepared a brief on the demurrer.
and attended court In Portland on
three different occasions. He consid.
cred the services rendered in this case
reasonably worth the amount claimed
In their bill--$25OO. Mr. Brown testi-
fed that the bankruptcy case was a
more extended trial. in the course Of
which the members of the firm and the
claimants In the pending case had
fled numerous papers They had ap-
peared in opposition TO the attempt TO
have the estate placed In bankruptcy.

to the case, and the firm renewed It's
opposition to the bankruptcy proceed.

CASE
MAY BE
ENDED
Stipulation In the Gilbert
Bank Suit
May ReSuItin Termination OF
Present ReceiYeTship


The present receivership of the Gil
bert Bros. bank may have a sudden
termination, and that I'm the very near
future. In the hearing of the testi-
mony on the claim OF Brown q Wright
man. for legal services rendered the
estate. before Judge Boise on Friday
afternoon, a stipulation was intro
duced, tending TO show some OF the
legal work that had been done by the
attorneys who are the claimants In
the pending claim. On the face, the
stipulation does not appear to be the
important document, as affecting the
affairs of the receivership of the es-
tate. that II really is.
The receiver was appointed In a
suit brought by the Cosper estate
against Gilbert Bros. to secure an ac-
counting for the funds Of William Cos
per, which were alleged to have been
converted by the defendants. In the
stipulation the Cosper heirs agree that
their suit shall be dismissed without
prejudice as soon as the receiver has
collected and disbursed the funds of
the bank. It is contended that the
stipulation shows that there is no real
controversy between the Cosper estate
and the Gilbert Bros, and that the
court Is without Jurisdiction to appoint
a receiver, unless a real controversy
be pending. The stipulation has been
signed by the plaintiffs and defend
ants I'm the suit, with the exception of
one heir and one intervening creditor.
While the stipulation has not been
filed. IL has been made public by in
Producing as evidence In the pending
case for attorneys fees before Judge
Boise. The position of the Cosper
heirs Is that while they have a claim
against Gilbert Bros. they are willing
TO waive It for the present In order to
secure an early settlement Of the Cos
per estate.
The only copy of the stipulation Is
In the hands of the court, awaiting
further signatures. For this reason Il |
Is impossible at this time to give in |
detail the contents of the document. |
II rs said the effect of the stipulation, |
II II shall be accepted by all of the |
parties interested, will be to dispose |
of the present receiyership case and !
before the estate can be further ad- |
ministered upon II will be necessary
for some Of the interested creditors to |
bring another action against the Gil |
bert estate and secure the appoint |
ment OF another receiver. The dis !
position of the case. since this new
feature has developed. will be watched
with considerable interest.
