delivering us from the hands of 0 those unreasonable men trying to attach tribune stock the examination of C C goodwin editor of the tribune IrS bune before referee lewis was held at 2 p m april the object being to ascertain what property if any was hold held by the witness that could be attached to satisfy a judgment of 1223 held by george W carter an execution had been issued but nothing could be found george W carter made affidavit am davit that he believed C C goodwin to be a apart part owner of the tribune stock and an order was issued by the court appointing S H lewis referee and authorizing him to take testimony afi on the subject attorneys and lackrie conducted the examination and after some preliminary work judge goodwin was called to the witness stand and the investigation proceeded as follows attorney what did I 1 understand you paid for the tribune stock goodwin mr lannan was to pay to john W mackay for a four fifths interest he paid 10 ao 00 down and gave his note for due in five years secured by the stock of the company attorney what interest do you own in the tribune goodwin mr lannan has promised me a half interest la in the four fifths if I 1 would stay by it until it was paid d for attorney aney what kind of an agreement is there between you and mr lannan goodwin it is simply a verbal agreement that I 1 am to have one half of hannans Lan nans four fifths and I 1 have mr jackaya Mac kaya kays word for it attorney well you are a business man or that is to say you have dune done some business now will you state to the referee whether this is a business way of doing business good goodwin wa n probably not under ordinary circumstances but I 1 know mr mackay to be a mou man of his word attorney what do you consider your interest in the paper worth goodwin well I 1 could not say if utah gets State statehood hool the tribune would not be worth two bits and if this thing continues I 1 shall not stay in the country two weeks attorney when is this note due and what evidence have you that has bas been paid on it goodwin the note was given about five years ago but last year mr lannan went to see mr mackay and told him that things had not been going on as they had expected and requested an extension or of the note saying however that the morey money would be ready on time if required an extension of the note for five years was granted As soon as mr lannan has any money he be applies it on the note and I 1 know that has been paid on above note by looking over the books of the company attorney what abat salary do you get mr goodwin win goodwin goodwill I 1 get per month and 45 of that goes to pay interest attorney what property do you own have you any real estate and how bow is your salary paid goodwin I 1 have no pro property perty but a wife and two children I 1 I 1 own no real estate but rent a furnished house my salary is paid weekly attorney are you willing to surrender your interest in the Til tribune bune that is to say the interest mackay holds for you in what has already been paid to satisfy this judgment goodwin no I 1 am not willing to do that because my agreement with mr lannan is that we are to fight it out together I 1 would like to ask mr carter a question as I 1 think I 1 understand who is at the bottom of this proceeding ce ir I think it was a man who claims to be a mutual friend to us both was not this suit instigated by judge mcbride no sir it was not as he always spoke well of you adjournment was then taken to 11 a m next day when P H lannan business mans manager ger of the tribune was examined as a witness his testimony ony was in substance a corroboration of what judge goodwin had said there was a slight discrepancy however in regard to the arrangement with mr mackay mr lannan stating that one half of his interest in the tribune was to go 0 to mrs goodwin instead of to fh the e judge this was done mr lannan said because mr mack mackay ga had no confidence in judge goodwins business abilities and would not consent that the stock should pass into his hands there was some curiosity expressed on the streets to know how egv judge good goodwin win became indebted to mr carter it appears that some time ago suit was entered against goodwin for the amount in question by a certain party he confessed judgment and in order to satisfy the claim he borrowed the amount 1222 on his personal note endorsed by judge mcbride the note matured but the judge failed to materialize and mr carter began the present proceeding for his cash an interesting development in the ewe case is the sudden disappearance of colonel hollister who left for montana on the morning of A april ria he owns some of the stock stoc of the tribune and it is suspected that some connection exists between his departure and these proceedings and lochrie applied to judge anderson for a subpoena for mr hollister april and the request was granted mr lochrie says that he will hold the case open until the witness returns another witness in the me case will be arthur L thomas who is supposed to know something about the verbal contract between lannan and goodwin mr lannan that he had told mr thomas what to do in event of his lan nans death it will probably be some days before the matter is taken up again visitors from colorado during the nighton night of lof april 18 there arrived in this city a
