SENSATION SPRUNG IN : AGAINST MARY ffl’lSomething of a sensation was created yesterday morning when John W. Price, upon the witness stand, admitted having taken the books and records of the Mary McKinney Mining company the day prior to his leaving the employ of the company.The testimony was given before Referees J. R. Finley, of this city, Edwin E. Chase, of Denver, and C. W. How-bert; of Cripple Creek, who are hearing the evidence in the million dollar damage suit brought by the Morning Glory Gold Mining company against the Mary McKinney Mining company. The session was held in the court room of the civil division of the district court, and attracted considerable attention. The United States court in Denver decided the apex question in favor t of the plaintiff and the question as to ' the amount of ore that had been taken from the property by the defendant as an innocent trespasser was left for the referees to decide. The sessions of the referees have bden held in Cripple Creek during the last week but will now be hold in this city.For nearly a year the Mary McKinney company has searched high and low for certain records and books containing the amount and value of the ore taken from the property in dispute. in order that the company could make its calculations as to the amount of damage. Some surprise was created when the counsel for the plaintiff produced the books in court, and yesterday all question was set at rest by John W. Price, formerly a foreman in the employ of the Mary McKinney company, admitting that lie took the books the day prior to his leaving theenTploy of the company. After much r questioning Mr. Price explained that he was receiving $10 per day from the plaintiff as an expert miner, and had received this amount for about a year, and was to continue receiving that sum each day as long as the ease continued in the courts, provided it did not last too long.Superintendent George Keener wasEXHIBITS BACK FROM ST.
