ENDS
TESTIMONY
ON STAND
Defense in the Cunningham-CoS-
teIIO Litigation Opens Its Case
With Testimony of Attorney;
Case Moves Very Slowly.

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 81 CSpeciaD-
The plaintiff this morning, concluded
the direct testimony in the Cunning
ham-Costello case and the defendant
began the introduction Of its testi-
mony before the noon recess was TAX
en-.
The cross examination of John era
ham, the last witness for the plaintiff.
was the first matter taken up by the
court after convening this morning
and it took until about ten-thirty.
Graham's direct testimony was very
strong in favor of the plaintiffs side
of the case and was one Of the most
important given by any OF the wit
uesses for the plaintiff After he had
concluded several letters and other
papers bearing on the case We're in
troduced but not without objections
on the part of the defense Each let
ter OF paper was first handed to the
judge for his inspection as 1t was af-
fered and some of them were rejected
when the objections were made 10
their introduction.
The first witness to be called by the
defense was Attorney Frank Hereford
c. & A. Mining Co. at the time the
claims I'm dispute were taken over by
that company from Costello. He was
placed on the stand first on account
of his being anxious to get away, his
wife being sick I'm California. He
was on the stand for some time going
over the various dealings that We're
had between the company and Cos
tello The plaintin objected to some
of his testimony in regard to CONVEX
sations that he had had with Mrs
Cunningham while he was acting as
her attorney, and the objections were
sustained
The case is not moving along as rap
idly as was expected and there seems
but little hope of concluding it this
week and each day brings this fact
nearer to a reality. The defense at
the present time is holding forty wit
uesses here and the testimony of
some of them win take up considera-
BILE time while others will not be so
long This will also apply to the cross
examination on the part Of the plain
tiff.
The plaintiff will have some testi-
mony to introduce i'm rebuttal upon
the completion of the case of the de-
+ fense so that there is not the slight
f est doubt but what the case will go
over into next week.
