WITNESS
IN COSTELLO
LITIGATION
Mrs. lula Cunningham, Mother
of Plaintiffs, on Stand for En-.
tire Day; Case Expected to
Last for Two Weeks.

TOMBSTONE. Aug. 20 Especially -
The first witness to be called in the
Cunhingham-C Costello case is stll on
the stand and from present appear
ances will be al of tomorrow The
witness is Mrs Julia Cunningham,
widow of Patrick Cunningham and
mother of the two young women who
are the heirs of the estate and the
plaintiffs In the present action.
Mrs Cunningham recited the vari-
Gus transactions and dealings that she
knew about between her husband and
the late Martin Costello, as to the
various mining claims in the Warren
District and told of conversations that
were held in her presence between
the two. Her testimony is the most
important and direct that the plain
tin will have to introduce and bears
directly on the points at issue in the
case. Every point of evidence is be
ing fought with vigor on both sides
and several times during the morning
The jury had to be excused while the
counsels urged the right to its intro
duction
Mrs. Cunningham win not, probab-
I ly, get through with her direct testi-
mony until tomorrow after which she
will be subject to the cross examina-
tion of the attorneys for the defense,
and that will take al least a day,
Judging from the time that was taken
at the time of the last trial
Both sides are watching the tran
script of the testimony taken at the
last trial which comprises a book of
several hundred pages, to see that no
( point in the testimony is overlooked
that might be of beueft to them or
their contentious or see if the wit
ness viii make some mistatement or
vary from the testimony that was Civ.
en- at the previous trial
There is but little chance OF the
case being completed this week aud
: this morning counsel on both sides
announced to the court that I'm their
opinion there was but little likely
hood of the case being submitted to
the jury before the latter part of next
week
The case at the last trial occupied
the attention Of the court for nine
days but from present appearances
the trial this time will take the full
two weeks New witnesses are com
ing in almost every day for one side
or the other. some arriving last even
ing and others this morning.
