HERALD “ADS"” MEAN BETTER:BUSINESS NEW BRITAIN HERAL PRICE THREE CENTS. ‘POISON USED TO DESTROY «Two Witnesses Inform Jury of Methods Employed to Drive Rodents from Place Where Andrews Died. ' DEFENDANT NOT AS CHEERFUL AS USUAL Embolmer Tells of Working on An- drews’ Body and Contradicts Em- ployer Who Testified to Being Pres- ent at Operation—Aged Inmate Says Andrews Frequemtly Received Medicine by Mail. Hartford, July 10.—Two witnesses testified to the presence of rats in and around the Archer Home and the use of a white powder to exterminate them at the resumption of the trial of Mrs. Amy Archer-Gilligan, accused of murder, in the criminal court today. Mrs. Gilligan is specifically charged with poisoning Franklin R. Andrews, an inmate of the home conducted by her, and stands indicted on four other similar counts. Another expert entered the case as a ‘witness today in the person of Dr. Otto Schultz of New York, toxologist for the défense. 5 Poison was used to kill off rats in the barn and to .exterminate vermin in the bedrooms, according to Harri- son Moses Jackson, employed there, who was the first witness for the de- fense today. Jackson was employed in various capacities about the Home after 1907, and especially in April and June, 1914, which was about the time of the death of Franklin R. Andrews. Jackson said he was given a white powder which he spread upon bread and then stuffed the bread in rat holes. He used ‘“‘something out of a bottle” for washing bedsteads which were infested with bugs and the same liquid for swabbing the mop boards. The trial today drew another large audience, the majority of the specta- tors being women. Some brought their knitting and others had lunches which they ate.during.xgcessin.azder not to lose their seats. Mrs. Gilligan did not appear to be in her usual cheerful mood upon ar- rival at the court room, although she greeted Mr. Holden, her senior coun- sel, with a hearty handshake. Her daughter, Mary Archer, recelved o motherly embrace. The daughter was attired in white. Mr. Holden at the opening introduc- ed more probate records of the set- tlement of the estate of Michael Gilll- gan, the defendant's second husband. Eleven heirs to the estate had agreed 1o the report of settlement. The man-of-all work, Jackson, was then called. He said that in addition to caretaking he ‘“washed the old men.” He did not know the nature of. the polsons used to kill vermin. The witness knew Rosie Swan, a maid at the Archer Home. He said she was part negro and part Indian. ‘His father had married Rosie’'s sister. Embalmer Contradicts Employer. Bugene Joseph Shea, formerly em- ployed as an embalmer by Frank Smith & Co., of this city, testified to having embalmed the body of An- drews after he had brought it from the home at Windsor to Smith’s es- tablishment in Hartford. He said it was not embalmed that night but the next day, the witness performing the operation. Smith was not present. Earlier in the trial he had testified that he had embalmed the body and later that he did not do it himself but was present while his men did it. Shea testified to having embalmed the bodles of Mrs. Alice H. Gowdy and Michael W. Gilligan. He was not sure about that of Charles A. Smith. In answer to questions he said that in most cases arterial em- balming is sufficient but in about one out of 20 cases cavity embalming is also used. He used such a process in the case of Andrews he said, Testimony of Charles Myers, 78, an inmate of the Archer Home was to the effect that Andrews was not a well man as had been stated but that he “was always taking medicine, which he got through the mails.” Dr. Otto Schultz, medical assistant to the district attorney of New York, retained by the defense, was called to the stand and qualified as an ex- pert. He said he had held his pres- ent office with the district attorney since April, 1915, and that he had performed over 5,000 autopsies. In taking the stand he was not sworn but made an averment. His preliminary testimony coverca much of the ground gone over ear- lier in the trial.

A Peking, July 10, vla Tien Tsin—The western army under Gen. Tsao Kun, military governor of Chi Li, is now within a few miles of the city while the forces of Gen, Chumn Chi Kwein are a few miles southeast of the cap- ital. Heavy artillery fire can ° be heard in that direction. Troops of Kalgan, a town in the province of Chi Li, have been placed in position to cut off Gen. Chang Hsun's retreat toward the northwest. Heavy en- gagements are expected. Bombs were again dropped on the imperial palace by an airplane of the republicans. Foreign re- inforcements have arrived. Arrange- ments have been made whereby troop trains daily will be permitted be- tween Peking and Tien Tsin_ each way, subject to search. Although there was mush noise at the battle of Lang Fang and repub- Heans report the killing of 500 im- perialists and the wounding of nu- merous others, foreign eye witnesses estimate total casualties at ten on each slde. A reward of $100,000 has been placed on Chang Hsun, dead or alive. Liang Chi Chao, chief counseller of Tuan Chi-Jui, leader of the re- publican force, says there is,no chance of any compromise with Chang Hsun as the republicans are determined to overthrow him. Tuanr' Chi-Jui, interviewed at Tien Tsin is optimistic. He believes the imperialistic movement will collapse in the next 24 hours. He received a telegram from Feng Kuo Chang an- nouncing that he has assumed the temporary presidency. Negotiations are under way for the surrender of Chang Hsun. The co-operation of the navy is being arranged. Fighting is soon expected at Yung Ting, toward which point some of' the imperialists have retreated. ‘Washington, July - 10.—General “Ghang Hsun leader of the attempt to restore the Manchu dynasty in China, was reported by Minister Reinsch today to have withdrawn his troops into the Imperial city and the Temple of Heaven, the two most his- toric and beautiful sections of Peking. Loyal troops of the republic sur- rounded the city, and complete de- truction of the monarchial govern- ment is considered only a matter of a short time. Uninterrupted communication with Tien Tsin was restored June 8. ‘Tien Tsin, July 10.—The British military telegraph line between Pe- king an Tien Tsin has been interrupted by the seizure of the equipment at Feng Tai by adherents of Gen. Chang Hsun. A Japanese passenger on a train at Feng Tal has been wounded by a bullet.

Vallejo, Cal, July 10.—Military law and strict censorship were in force today at the Mare Island navy yard as the result of an explosion of a black powder magazine here yesterday with the loss of six lives and injuries to 31 others.

HALIGZ DOOMED BY KORNILOFF'S PUSH Key to Lemberg Being Hemmed in and Fall Is Assured | GROWN PRINGE DETERMINED Another Drivé Made at French on Aisne Front, Which, Like Others, Ends Unsuccessfully—British Make Advance in Belgium. Several villages captured and more than 1,000 prisoners and three fleld guns taken attest the success of the second day's attack by Gen. Korniloff in eastern Galicia. Already this branch of the Rus- slan offensive has resulted in a deep ] wedge being driven into the Austro- German line between Stanislau and Halicz, southeast of I.emberg. It took the throwing In of strong Ger- | man reserves and the launching of heavy counter attacks even to slow up the rush of Korniloff’'s men. The strategic position in this sector is now clearly in favor of the Rus- slans. The long-established Teutonic line has been definitely broken and the continuance of the Russian pres- sure points to the probable speedy fall of Halicz, opening the way to Lem- | berg along two first class railway lines. A dangerous salient already has been created around Halicz. Each day now witnesses a new at- tack by the German Crown Prince along the Aisne. in northern France, suggesting an attempt at a sustained | offensive. The French guns, however, are proving too much for the attack- ing ranks. Last night's attack on the Chemin de Dames, the high ridge which the Germans lost in the spring and are now trving desperately to recover, ‘was even less fruitful than others have been at the outset. The Ger- mans were not able even to get near the French lines at Hurtebise and the Dragon where their attacks were launched, and they fell back with se- vere losses.

A strong assault on the French positions | at Hurtebise mountain and the Dragon was repelled. The attacking waves suffered heavy and were un- able to reach the French lines.

Mayor Quigley has stated that as yet all he has received has been a typewritten protest, with the signatures even tvpewritten. He thinks that if the residents of Woos- ter street desired to address a ‘“round robin” to him they would send him the official original, rather than an unofficial copy. Asked what course, if any, he pro- posed to take in the matter, Mayor Quigley said he had not made up his mind. ‘“We have got a police de- partment in this city. We have got a prosecuting attorney. We have got a liquor prosecuting agent. It seéms to me it should be up to one of them,” the mayor sald. Although no complaint has been registered with him, Chiet of Police W. J. Rawlings stated today that he proposes to take immediate steps, as far as his jurisdiction will permit, to prohibit the recurrence of boisterous and disgraceful conduct in the neigh- Accord- ing to the chief's opinion, the worst fault with these parks is not with the societies in charge, but with the so- cleties, clubs and organizations that rent the parks. These are the people, he claims, who cause all the trouble and he is going to take immediate steps to see if some arrangements cannot be made whereby the Qunrtet‘- mem- club and the Scheutzen park bers will cease to sub-let the ises. Both the chief ane’ the mayor thought that if there is Allegal liquor selling going on there it is up to the prosecuting agent to investigate.

Washington, July 10.—Increased difficulties today beset the adminis- tration food control bill, with its dras- tic prohibition features. Convinced that the bill is unreason- able and that the liquor -provision for government purchase of all dis- tilled spirits is unconstitutional and neither must be amended nor stricken out senate leaders held conferences while the debate proceeded on the floor in an effort to devise amend- ments to pave the way for final pas- ‘sage of the bill. met before the senate convened but was unable to reach an agreement and definite action was deferred. Sen- ators said the situation among the steering committee was as chaotic as that in the senate, While the committee was in ses- sion, Postmaster General Burleson walked in and joined in the discus- slon, Several senators soon left the meeting, one of them expressing re- sentment over the cabinet official's participation. Hope is for agreement later on, changes which will remove most of the objections and secure a final vote by Wednesday. Consideration of the bill to prohibit trading with Germany or her allies reached the amendment stage in the house today with speeches limited to five minutes. A final vote on the bill by Thursday s expected. Lodge Attacks Bill Senator Lodge, acting republican Jeader, made a long speech In senate criticlzing the sweeping scope of the bill as Inimicable to business. He regretted invoking the cloiture rule. “What troubles me in the bill,” he =ald, “is the attempt to set aside eco- nomic laws. This bill undertakes to glve to the president absolute con- trol of all the business in this coun- try.” He spoke in commendations of Herbert €. Hoover's work ‘in - 'Bel- glum, but declared that the running of business of this country was an entirely different matter, and beyond the power of any one man. In an effort to modify the bill to meet various objections the agricul- ture committee was called together. Chairman Gore prepared amend- ments limiting government control of foodstuffs and fuel eliminatig iron, steel, copper, cotton and many other products.
