given "A third interest in the Portland
Though the Portland was partnership
property, Burns said he himself paid
The expense of pateuting it and Harnan
bought material to build n shaft hOus
while Doyle contributed no money
Much OF the evidence given by Burns
was contradictory of statements made
by Doyle on the witness stand ten days
ago. Burns declared he never advised
Doyle to give perjUTed testimony i'm the
Colorado case of O'Haire ". Burns He
also said ne never authorized Doyle or
any one else to dig up the Portland
claim stake and did not learn that this
was done until some time afterward.
Burns testified that he found that
O'Hairc intended bringing suit against
Doyle As we'll as against himself and
that he went to tell Doyle about it.
The latter then put most of his stock
i'm Burns name TO protect it. Burns
Immediately transferred it to Kate
Burns, his sister. as trustee. The divi-
dend checks were sent to her and she
sent them to Doyle, as Endorsements on

When Doyle settled his case with

dividends he had held on some other
stock he had been holding for Doyle.
At that time, the witness said. Doyle
