The question was objected to and when the objection was over- ruled, Masselli admitted that the “whole bunch” was paying the ex- penses. Then he had told the prosecutor that Ven- turo hit him, | Mr. Woods crogs-examined the wit-’ nes: and showed that he had been told that Venturo hit him, but did not have personal knowledge of it him- seltf. “How many were engaged in thi fight?" asked Mr. Woods. “Quite a fow." “How many, ten? twelve®" “A couplo hundred, I gues: Walter Kane of Kensington was the next witness for the state and he/ thowed his unwillingness to testify, whereupon Judge Griswold remarked: “I do not intend this case to go by default if the witnesses are in agree- ment not to testify, but may hold the witnesses for a higher court for sub- ornation of perjury.” Jamea Kane of 705 Stanles street New PBritain, was put on the witness stand by the state and started to tes- tify when Mr. Woods objected that taasmuch an he was under arrest he could not testify against the others under arrest. A motion was mado te strike out tho testimony and also a moti for the discharge of tho de- fendants, as there was no evidence to connect the crime with Venturo or Tulsini Prosecutor Lewis then pulled his trump card and stated that although Katie Venturo had failed to appear. the state had another witness, and ho called Liloyd Trinter of Yalesville.

The new building is four stories high and has a magnificent marble en- trance. Equipped with a modern sprinkler service and with plenty of light, it stands out as one of the best in the vicinity. The first floor will be used for the superintendent's office and it is expected that this de- partment will be finished this week. The second floor will be partitioned off for the purchasing agents, factory manager and plant engineers offices. The third floor will be for the tele- phone and sales departments so that the factory employes will have an op- portunity te recreate during the noon hour, the fourth floor will be used as a recreation room. A modern lunch- room will also be installed. It is not probable that the entire office will be completed until the lat- ter part of this month or ecarly in September. The telephone cxchange has already been transferred to the third floor and other departments will move in when the new quarters are ready. W. R. C. Outing Held.
