Archer-Gil- ligan .for tne alleged murder of Franklin R. Andrews by poison. In- * terest in the proceeding turned large- ly to the probable appearance on the stand of the accused to tell her story some time before the defense rests, and the testimony which the experts associated with the defense, Dr. Otto Schultz, a New York toxicologist, and Prof. Stanley Benedict, a chemist of Cornell university, will give as to poison found in the Andrews body and its relation to death as com- pared with the testimony of . the state’'s medical witnesses. Mr. Holden, of coungel for Mrs. Gilligan, during the forenoon told Mr| Alcorn, the state's attorney, that he intended to call Governor Holcomb as a witness. He said: “I am gogng to put the governor on the stand td testify to the power and influence which caused him to make & complaint.” This had reference to testimony by Superintendent Egan of the state police to the effect that he began an inquiry into conditions at the Archer Home upon request of the governor. The defense called Sheriff Dewey as its first witness. He told of re- ceiving Mrs. Gilligan at the jail on ‘May 8, 1916. Mr. Holden asked what doctors had been called to attend her. Mr. Alcorn objected. Mr. Holden said he did not intend to claim insanity by this evidence, but as Lizzie Sulllvan, a jail inmate, has testified to an al- leged confession by Mrs. Gilligan, he wanted to show that at that time the woman was in such a mental state that she was practically insane. The objections were withdrawn. The sheriff said that Mrs. Gilligan was observed by Dr. Whitefleld N. Thomp- son of the Hartford Retreat Dr. Charles Fisher of Middletown and Dr.. Max Mailhouse of New Haven. The sheriff was asked if he had had trouble with Mrs. Gilligan and he sald he had trouble more or less all the time, qualifving his statement. however, by saying ‘“or annoyances.” The sheriff testified that Dr. F. Ar- thur Emmet, the jail physician, had treated Mrs. Gilligan when she needed attention. ~ 4 Town Clerk George G. Maud of Windsor offered in evidence the cer- tificate of the death of Jane R. Heald, who died May 3, 1908. It was signed by Dr. H. F. King. When Mr. Alcorn objected Mr. Hol- den said he proposed to show the record of the death of every person who had died in the home and to in- troduce letters of relatives of persons who had died indicating that they be- lieved the home had been well con- ducted and that it was open to visi- tors at all times. He said that three inmates died last week. ‘Would Exhume All Bodies. Mr. Alcorn said that if Mr. Holden would go a step further and exhume each body and deterimne the cause of death he would not object to the record. 2 Mr. Holden replied: “It would be a good thing to dig up the bodies if we could find any that were not em- balmed by Frank Smith. An argument following during which Mr. Holden said he proposed to show the hostile attitude of neigh- bors and that rumors were floating about. He said that Superintendent Fgan had testified he started an in- qQuiry by direction of the wgovernor and he intended to put the governor on the stand. o Judge Greene would not allow in- troduction of records of all deaths in the home but did allow him to put in the records of persons who died and whose names had been mentioned in letters written by Andrews. Judge Greene again told the jury that there was nothing in the Andrews letter to indicate that deaths of persons mentioned therein had been from other than natural cause. The original death certificate of Andrews was offered by Town Clerk Maud. This gave cause of death as @astric ulcers and was signed by Dr. King. The court asked Mr. Holden if he thought a death certificate wus prima facie evidence of the cause of death Mr. Holden said it was a public record and purported to give the truth. Certificates of the deathg of Alice Gowdy and Charles A. Smith were put in. Mr. Maud did not want to leave the certificates and Mr. Holden noted to the jury that the handwriting of the embalmer on the Charles A, Smith certificate was un- like that on the others. Mr. Maud had known Mrs Gilligan (Continued On Fifteenth Page). CASE WITNESS VANCE SEES U-BOAT HIT BY GUNNERS New Brithin Man, On Way to France, Believes Submarine Was Sunk by Shell. Mrs. R. J. Vance received today the firat letter from her son, Robert C. Vance, attached to the Red Cross Ambulance Corps in France, since he salled several weeks ago. It gives many interesting details of the pas- sage and passengers on the trip across the water. The name of the boat and the names of Its passengers must necessarily be omitted but an account of a battle with a submarine on the way across might prove in- teresting. i “I wae below when the firing start- ed,” reads the letter. “but it did not take me long to get to my boat post. There was a' big ‘sub’ lying awash squarely broadside to us and the gunners were cracking at it as it submerged. < Suddenly one of the shells exploded, which usually means that a mark hasg been found, and the submarine was gone. Meanwhile we were zigzagging around through the water at the maximum speed of the boat. The passengers cheered wildly as the supposed hit was scored. We passed & barrel later in' the day and the gunners blew that to pieces, tak- ing no chances. We were relieved to find that-it was only a barrel. The passengers acted admirably in the crisis, there being no false moves on the part of anyone. Most of them slept on deck in the danger zone.” FIREMAN FOR ARMY New Britain Asked to Furnish Ome Permanent Man for Cantonment at Ayer, Mass.—Will Do So. The National Board of Fire Insur- ance Underwriters, at an informal ses- slon of the fire commissioners last evening, asked the City of New Britain to furnish one permanent fireman for active service at the United States army cantonment at Ayer, Mass. It is the plan of the gowvernment to establish an efficlent fire department at this army cantonment and ather cities throughout New England are being asked to furnish a fireman for its personnel, Such a fireman would be considered in the federal mervice and would be paid by the govern- ment. Chairman Alfred E. Magnell of the fire board stated today that New Brit- ain stands ready to furnish a fireman for service at this camp whenever called upon to do so. Mayor G. A. Quigley is also in favor. The fire insurance who have been conducting a thorough investigation into the fire hazards of this city, have completed their work and their official report will be com~ pleted in about three manths. The in- surance men make no secret of the fact their report will be most critical and New Britain will be subjected to much censure for lack of fire pre- vention. Among other things, their report will criticise the system which permits the burning of waste papers and rubbish in yards and alleys. The insurance men advocate having these waste matters collected regularly as garbage is collected. S IRISH CONYENTION JULY 25 - Lioyd George Announced Date of Opening Session—Nominates Henry E. Duke as Temporary Chairman.

Ottawa, July 6.—The Canadian house of commons early today adopt- ed the resolution offered by Premier Borden, passing to second reading the bill for compulsory military service. Exciting scenes marked the taking of the vote, which stood 118 for -con- scription’ and 55 against. The vote gave the government about 20 more than it usually .polls on important questions. This was the result of a considerable number of English-speaking liberals breaking away from the leadership of Sir Wil- fred Laurier and joining with Premier Borden in support of conscription. Before the bill was sanctioned Sir ‘Wilfred Laurier's proposal that an opiniort of the people on conscription should be tested by a referendum ‘was defeated by a majority of 49. The attendance of members of the house was the largest that had been seen in parliament for many years. The galleries were filled with specta- tors throughout the night and when the proceedings.closed at sunrise. A majority of the spectators were sol- diers, returned from Europe, and women, A resolution presented by French nationalists from the province of Quebec that the conscription bill should be killed by the adoption of a six months' pestponement was de- feated by the large majority of 166. Only nine nationalist votes were cast for the resolution and both the gov- ernment and opposition to conscrip- tion voted against this proposal. An amendment aimed to supply more adequate provision for depen- dents of men at the front was de- feated, 115 to 55, Premier Borden ruled that this amendment was dilatory and that he would refuse to allow it to interfere Wwith the second redding.

New York, July 6.—For the fourth timé since America entered the war New York city today had as its guests members of a foreign mission.

Fortress Monroe, July 6.—Naval pa- trol boats today continued their search for an enemy submarine which was reported to -have been sighted sub- merged in these waters late yester- day, but no trace of the craft has been found. Marine observers did not be- lieve it possible for a submarine to submerge in the Roads or lower Ches- apeake bay becaul of insufficient depth of the water and pointed to the fact that the merchant underwater boat Deutschland could not go under until’ after she passed the Virginia capes last summer. Copenhagen, July 6.—The sinking by a German sibmarine of the Nor- wegian steamer Benguela is reported by the Tidens Tegn of Christiania.

Diet, . which, on Tuesday, warned the government of a disap- pearance of the sentiment of loyalty toward the king and also of a com- ing upheaval unless the government mended its ways, has now broken openly with the government. This ac- tion is a consequence of the refusal of Count Von Vitzchum d’'Eckastadt, pre- mier of Saxony, to authorize the Diet committee -on constitutional reforms to continue its labors during recess. The Diet refused to give the necessary authorization to settle fuel problems and it must therefore me reconvoked not later than August. This will en- able the censtitutional committee to resume work. f The steering comnlit&e of . the Reichstag, accordisg to a‘despatch re- ceived here, has decided to termi- nate the mid-summer scssion -by the middle of next week if possible. and adjourn until the end of October.

Stockholm, July 6.—Washington de- spatches of the last few days, fore- casting the sharpest limitation or possible dicontinuance of all exports to neutrals, caused anxiety in gov- ernment circles and amcng the people. The situation is already grave and the prospect pictured by news from ‘America renders it still more -dis- quieting. Crops are likely to be below the average. Manufactories in various lines are closed for lack of material. Others cannot continue production much longer. Leather is scarce and so dear that a pair of ordinary €hoes cost from ten to twelve dollars. Auto- mobile tires bring $500 apiece. The cost of living is steadily increasing, The ‘stocks of coffee in the kingdom will be exhausted in a month. The government already has taken extraordinary measures to deal with the extensive unemployment which is considered inevitable if the war lasts another winter, and it becomes impos- sible to secure needed commodities, An view of the assertion in some quarters that imports are not intended solely for Swedish consumptian, the Associated Press asked Herr E. B. Trolle, formerly minister of foreign affairs and now president of the gov- ernment war trade commission, for a statement. He said: “Official statistics of Sweden's im- portations for 1916, which are now nearly complete, demonstrate con- clusively the absolute erroneousness of assertions that we are bringing in American products for the purpose of passing them on to the Central Powers. “In several instances aur total im- portations from America show a de- cided decrease compared with 1913, the last normal year, and in many in- stances where our imports from the United Statés increased this increase fell considerably short of making good the deficit caused by the decrease or total discontinuance of our pre-war importations, from belligerent coun- tries, “A Paris paper recently declared that exports to Scandinavia and Swit- zerland_rose from $40,000,000 in 1913 to $83,000,000 in 1916. Leading American papers have similar statistics and asserted that the increase was largely due to the fact that Sweden had been re-exporting to Germany. This assertion will not stand the test of examination.” DATE OF DRAFT IS STILL UNSELECTED Local and District Exemption Boards Not Prepared to Assume Labors —Rushing Ayer Camp. ‘Washington, July 6.—Secretary Baker and Provost Marshal General Crowder today were completing the final - details of sthe method to be eiployed in selecting registrants fop the new national army, but the date of the drawings has not yet been an- nounced. Complete organization of every local and district exemption board is necessary before the draft machinery can begin to operate. The drawings will be in Washington and indications points to the use of num- bers instead of names in making se- lections. As there will he exemptions among the drafted before the first increment of 625.000 men can actually be as- sembled, necessarily more than that number of names will be drafted on the first operation. It is probable that as many as a million or two million names might be drawn and from them exemptions will be made. Then the first army of ‘25,000 men will be formed. Other troops will be drawn grom the remaiinder until it is de- cided to raise another jncrement. Ayer, Mass.,, July 6.—Rapid pro- gress is being made in the preparation of the cantonment- for men drafted for the new army, located on the out- skirts of this town. The 2,500 men at work have brought 25 bulldings half ‘'way to completion; besides clear- ing uwway an immense amount - of brush, building roads and - driving wells. A temporary water supply has been installed. Uwelve miles of sewer pipe arrived yesterday and. water { pipes for the water main are on the way. Many carloads of lumber are being unloaded every day.

Bloomington, 111, July 6.—Nine companies of Illinois National-Guards- men, comprising about 1,400 men, ‘were ordered to this city early today to restore order following a night of rioting caused by the strike of em- ployes of the Bloomington and .Nor- mal Railway and Light Co® The strike hae: n in -progress: for several weeks and had been conducted in an orderly manner’ until last night, when “Mother”’ Jones, labor advocate, delivered a speech to strikers and sympathizers. Immediately following the meeting the crowd began' attack- ing street cars and the crews, several motormen and conductors being badly beaten. One man in the crowd of rioters was shot through the neck. After breaking up several street cars, jthe crowd started for the power house of the street railway lines which fur- nishes power and light for commer- cial purposes in this city. Mayor Jones and Sheriff Flesher urged the crowd to desist from further rioting and were met by the demand that a' conference with officials of the railway company be arranged. The officials promised to do this and then the crowd demanded that a prisoner taken during the evening be released. This the sheriff did and the crowd dis- persed. Mayor Jones then sent a mes- sage to Governor Lowen asking for troops to avert possible trouble today. The street railway system is a sub- sidiary - of the Illinois Traction sys- tem, of which Congressman William B. McKinley of Champagne is presi- dent. . Troops on Guard at Globe. Globe, Ariz., July 6,—The presence here today of four, troops of United States cavalry and machine-gun troops was expectéd to have & quieting effect in the Globe-Miami copper district which has been in a state of nervous tension since 7,000 copper miners were called out on strike last Sunday. It is expected the members of the International Union of Mine Metal and Smelter Workers, who were pre- vented previously by the members of the Metal Mine Workers' union' from returning to work in the smaller mines with which they had effected a . settlement, would carry out their agreement as a troop of cavalry opened the road to the Copper Hill distriet. International President Moyer last night telegraphed the secretary of the Bisbee local, that its charter had been revoked for treachery to the princi- ples of the union in ordering a strike at the Bisbee mines without the sanc- tion of the international body.

New York, July 6.—Although the situation regarding the striking ship- vard employees appeared unchanged today, it was said by union leaders that six of the shipbuilding companies ; had granted the men’s demand for ! an increase of about 50 cents a day. About 35 yards may be affected by the ‘strike should it become general. Henry C.
