telegram from Cornelius Thorn, vice

rene court of the United States. If
the state loses the question will prob
ably be passed up to the Colorado
supreme court for final adjudication.
Irrespective of which court final
ly passes on the question, it promises
to be battle royal. Deputy Alter
ney General Rogers viii represent the
state of Colorado. while the interests
of the estate will be looked after
by Attorneys Osborn and Thorn and
former Governor Charles 5. Thomas.
The question will be raised on an
effort by the state to collect an in

of Mr. Walsh which has been va
ued at s3.20O,OOO.
The state will contend that Mr..
Walsh was citizen of Colorado for
the reasons that he held extensive
mining interests here, was president
Il the sons of Colorado and pres
ident of the Colorado state humane
society.
The attorneys for the estate will
set up the claim that he was a res
ident of Washington. Not only did
Mr.. Walsh declare so in his viii. but
he built himself a $500. 900 home in
the capital city. Besides this. his
son is buried there and the Walsh
mausolaum IS located in that city,
too. In addition to this, the claim
will BE- set up that Mr.. Walsh spent
but few days each year in Colorado.
