WHITE ABHORS
LAWYER CLUNIE
Solemnly Swears He Will
Never Talk to Enemy
Two Minutes on Earth

The renewal of the Clunie- -Bridgford-
White feud in Judge Coffey's court yes
terday produced another mystery
and at least one fair exchange of per-
sonalities Andrew J. Clunie, by insin-
uating interrogatorieS, roughly criti-
cized Burrell G. White for withholding
from him, Clunie, as coexecutOr infor-
nation regarding the ''purported exist
ence of a false deed" by which Mrs.
Florence Clunie had transferred all of
her community property to General
Clunie at the time they severed their
marital relations.
White was angered, and by the time
his questioner had several times repeat
ed the charge that information regard
ing affairs of the estate had been with
held from him the witness vouchsafed
a reason. I'VE haven't spoken for six
months outside this room,' said White,
land will not speak to you unless
have to-"
'Oh, don't let that worry you," inter
rupted Clunie, and White went on:
I'll never have another conversation
with you for two minutes at a time II
I live to be twenty-five years older.
You misrepresent what is said, and put
into a mans mouth words that never
passed his lips
Clunie merely chuckled and continued
of installing a new heating plant in the
theater at Sacramento, during the
course of which he asked whether the
lessees of the building had not offered
to employ White to get a ten years re-
newal of their lease while the old lease
had nearly four years to run. White
denied the implied employment, but
said the matter of a renewal for five
years had been mentioned.
T,1doo A Pridpfor1 the othAr nv
ecutor, was called to the stand for on
other round Of questioning. Ciunie
seemed to take much delight IN pro-
pounding the same query live times in
an effort to get a direct answer the
would meet with his approval. The
line of examination had 20 10 with
what information White had impaired
knowledge or belief that Mrs. Clunie
!; had signed deed to property with
out knowing the contents of the in
strument. Bridgford said that White
had not told him the details of the
transaction involving the blanket
deeds, but ''it was intimated that Mrs.
Clunie was not fully informed as to
what she was doing"
Clunie asked Bridgford how he first
came into possession of the deed to the
property in question. The witness an
swered that it had been given to,him in
a sealed envelope.
by whom asked Clunie
Il decline to answer" said the wit
ness, and he appealed to the court for
support. This and some other mat
ters connected with this estate are
things in which the public can have no
interest and should be- kept secret .
said Bridgford. and before Judge Cof-
fey had determined whether or not the
question was material Clunie with
drew 1t.
The hearing will be resumed this aft
ernoon.
