BANKS INVOLVED
Suit Merely Intended to Prevent Pay

Funds While Brother Was In Hos
pitaI Preparing for Serious Opera
ton, Is Harsh Allegation Made.

The suits of Edward O'Neill as ex-
ecutor in the estate of John O'Neill,
brought yesterday in the district
court of Yellowstone county against
the Yellowstone National bank of Bill
ings, the First National bank, the
Yegen Brothers bank and James
O'Neill of Hudson, Wis, to obtain &c.
800, has revealed the distress endured
by John ONeill during the days pre-
ceding his death in September of last
year and what, by the papers in the
case and the statements of the plain
tiff's attorney, appears to have been
remarkable lack of brotherly affec-
tion. The suits agains the banks are
mainly formal and are brought in con-
nection with the efforts of the chief
beneficiary to make the Wisconsin
O'Neill disgorge.
John. ard James O'Neill are be-
lieved to have had differences when
boys in Ireland more than 40 years
ago. Not until it became evident that
he must undergo an operation threat
ening serious consequences, did the
heart of John soften and then to an
extent that permitted the Wisconsin
man to accompany him to a hospital
at Rochester, Mimi.
Anticipating a fatal termination of
the operation, John requested the
hotel man to deliver his personal ef-
fects, including certificates of deposit
aggregating $4,000 issued by the
banks of this city, one of $4,000 issued
by the Cruise bank of Helena, $500 in
currency and watch.
pital the patient learned that his
brother had departed for Wisconsin,,
taking all of his personal property, ii
is alleged, leaving him penniless. A
telegram brought a nephew from
Glendive, to whose home the aged
Montanan was taken. He lived but a
short time after his arrival, although
surrounded by comfort and given gen
erous attention.
The will of John O'Neill leaves $2,-
900 to the brother in Wisconsin; $2,-
900 to Edward O'Neill of Glendive, ST.
900 to each of two sons of the Glen
dive O'Neill; $1,000 to each of two
sisters also the brother in Glendive
is made a life beneficiary in the Kain
bungalow here, after which it is to
pass to son of the beneficiary. In
short the Glendive brother is the
largest beneficiary in an estate valued
at 100000 of which approximately $12,-
900 is in cash.
The Wisconsin brother has refused
to surrender the certificate of de-
posit, it is alleged, and, naturally, the
banks of Billings refuse to surrender
the money until the certificates of de-
nosit are nreSented IT is alleged that
the Wisconsin man attempted to draw
the $4,000 deposited in the bank of
Thomas Cruise at Helena, presenting
a certificate bearing the name of John
O'Neill and endorsed by James. The
Cruise bank refused to pay.

nALTON, Ohio, June 17.-In the
city in which few years ago
they began in obscurity their
first experiments with flying machines,
Orville and Wilbur Wright today re-
ceived the homage of their townspeo-
pie.
Escorted by brass bands, led be-
meath triumphant arches through
streets decorated with models of their
aeroplanes, and praised In public
speeches, the brothers appeared the
least conscious that anything unusual
was going on. When that part of the
program was reached which read:
Responses by the Wrights," Wilbur
and Orville each arose and said:
Thank you, gentlemen"
This is how the Wright brothers
spent the day:

whistle and bell in town blow and
ring for 10 minutes.

R1EW YORK, June 17.-The
spot light of the cross-examl-
nation continued to oscillate
today in the trial of Mrs. Howard
Gould's suit for separation, from
the estate of Castle Gould to the
St. Regis hotel, to the farm at
Blue Gap, Va, to the Niagara, the
Gould yacht, and back to New
York again, but except for the
moments when it fingered on Dus-
tin Farnum, it never got very far
away from the buffers keys to the
wine cellar. ....
There was visible an attitude on
the part of the defense, which in this
trial of many surprises, has curiously
shifted over to what is virtually the
prosecution to prove that Mrs. Gould
was not only so frequently under the
influence of intoxicants as to fall
within the rulings of Justice Dowling
that she must be proved an habitual
drunkard before her husband can be
justified in leaving her, but to prove
that when she had been drinking her
character underwent transformation
for the worse.
Delaney Nicoll, counsel for the
husband, was willing enough to ad-
duce testimony that the wife was af-
fable when herself, if only he could
bring her good nature into contrast
with testimony that needed to show
her violent, abusive, uncertain in her
moods and confused in her actions
when she was alleged to have been
drinking.
There was no abatement of Mrs.
Goulds ordeal, and as the burden of
reiteration grew heavier, she shrank
visibly, and look of pain came into
her eyes, as if though she might have
read or seen such things, it was a
new realization of them for her to
hear them applied directly to herself.
At other times she smiled broadly.
shook her head in amusement of de-
nial and several times stared the wit
ness out of countenance.
Only once was there break in the
procession of footmen, but chaut-
feurs, maids, bell boys on whose tes-
Ill my 1t Is sought W p1ONO WI o.

W. ~ en- Mr.. Nicoll called Melville p.
Chapman, broker who was a guest
of the Goulds on the Niagara dur
ing several cruises in the year 1905.
He had several times seen Mrs. Gould
undeniably drunk, he testified, and led
by Mr.. Nicoll, he described several al
legged outbreaks, with emphasis on the
overbearing manner of the wife and
the efforts Of the husband to soothe
and conciliate her. In the effort to
discredit this witness, Mr.. Shearn
drew the ugly word blackmail from
Mr.. Nicoll, and became so agitated at
it's application to his own conduct OF
the case that for some moments he
was unable to continue his cross-eX-
animation. The court ruled the use
of the word offensive, and Mr.. Nlcoll
apo1ogized for introducing it.
AS Mr. Shearn has announced that
he will call SO or more witnesses to
rebut the testimony of the defense, 1t
is probable that the case will continue
for another week or 10 days. TO
shorten it as much as possible, JUS
tice Dowling is holding court until
o'clock daily.
