Mr. Zurich and Mr. Eddy were part
ners.
Il object to this evidence" said
Mr. Zurich.
The objection is sustained said
the court.
"They had their offices together,
used the same telephone, library, had
their names painted on the windows
and DOORS remarked the witness.
II had afFidavits tending to prove my
assertion
AfIidavits Produced.
1--WE object" said Mr. Zurich. 1.-The
affidavits are the best evidence"
The court ruled with Mr.. Zurich
and Mr.. Crump produced the affidav-
its. One was from Mr.. Foreman
and stated numerous cases tending
to show the alleged relations be-
tween Zurich and Eddy. Another
was by Mr.. Schwayder and the others
were by Deputy Sheriff Norman and
City Marshal Hudgens. The affidavits
were submitted and were admitted
as evidence. A copy of an affidavit

Williams, prisoners in the county
Mr. Crump next took up lengthy
document said to contain evidence
gathered by Attorney Boreman re-
lating to the alleged partnership of

objected to it being offered in evil
dence on the ground that il was
dated four days after the 'saicent
of Mr.. Crump's was lied VIII, dse
Bush.
Did you get information that n
contract between the White Pine
Telephone company and Eddy and
Zurich was signed by both the lat
ter?" asked Attorney Coleman.
Il did, was the reply.
He was asked whether he was in
formed that Eddy and Zurich had
ordered some furniture from Wilson
& Bates and had given instructions
to have it forwarded to their offices
and charged to them, He replied
in the affirmative.
He also said that during the
months of June, July and August last
Zurich had acted as district attorney
and had also opposed Eddy in cases.
Mr.. Zurich said in regard to this
that he would admit that he had
been assistant district attorney, that
he and Eddy had acted together in
civil cases and had been opposed in
criminal cases.
I'm regard to Jail soliciting" said
Mr. Crump, Il will state that | have
| the evidence of three persons that
Zurich solicited employment from
prisoners and that on the subsequent
day he appeared with Mr.. Eddy as
prosecutor and insisted that one of
the prisoners give $4,000 bail, which
looked to me like malice. I gathered
this information from time to time
during a month.
Mr. Zurich was about to begin the
cross-examination when court adj
journed until o'clock.
The Cross determination.
With the beginning of the night
session, Attorney Zurich commenced
his cross-eXamination of Judge
Crump. Mr.. Zurich asked the wit

Zurich and Eddy, Attorneys at Law
We're on the door, and in doing so
he addressed him in a rather loud
voice. Mr.. Crump replied:
I'm not certain, Mr.. Zurich. My
eyesight is not very good, but my
hearing is"
He stated as matter of fact he
was not certain whether the two law
yers were partners. AS to the truth
of the affidavits he could not swear
but he believed the authors to be
honorable men. Mr. Crump said
four or five attorneys had come to his
office upon couple of occasions.
Of icl,a rri,
