Locil DiU I I I It will apparently take the re mainder of the week to hear testi mony In tho circuit court before Judge If. V. Norton, In tho suit ' of J. E. Enyart ugaintrt F. K. Mer rick, ct al, wherein ho seeks a one fourth property intercut and one fourth of land sales in the Nata tori u in Amusement company of this city. The history of tho "Nat" and its many financial transac tions Is being told from the witness stand. J. K. Enyart, one of the original backers of the institution, was on the stand this morning, and iden ' titled notes, mortgagoa, checks and , other -legal documents issued in the ' earl stages of the Natatorium, whon W. 31. Brown was prenldont and John S. Orth was secretary. Orth sold out to the other direct ors in 1-911. Enyart was cross examined by the defense, who are endeavoring to show that the Mer rick expended labor and cash to make the place a success. New lMiuso Shown. Tho matter of "equitable trus toeshlp" cropped out today as one of tho legal phase's in the involved life of tho Natatorium. Testimony and documents were introduced to show that F. E. Merrick had liqui dated many of the financial obli fc gations, including the payment of the $15,000 borrowed from Col. Gordon Voorhics, and a number of promissory notes. It was agreed between counsel, that tho deposition of Walter D. Merrick of Los Angeles would be taken, instead of having him ap pear in person. After he returned from Oregon Agricultural college, ho was man ager of tho Natatorium in 1912 1913. Tho plaintiff holds that AV. H. Brown was acting in this ca pacity wflicn tho Natatorium was transformed Into a motor inn, tak ing advantage of the heavy Pacific highway travel, to end tho lean years. To prove- that Ireland does have (makes, tho Dublin zoo will ex hibit a specimen, nearly three feet lonr, which was found by a child while playing in a Dublin frarden.
