In the superior court here on Wed- nesday the evidence in the case against Addle Burns was completed, and three of the arguments were heard before court adjourned for the day. Court held until 5 o'clock for the first time since the case has been on, and will come in this morning at 10 o'clock, a half hour earlier than jt hassbeen convening, the shortened hours being to accommodate the New Haven attor- neys who appeared for the defendant. Attorneys Alling, Stoddard and Good- hart completed their arguments, and State’s Attorney Hull had spoken for about fifteen minutes before court ad- Jjourned. He will resume his argument this morning, - after which_ Judge ‘Wheeler will charge the jury, and they will take the case under consideration. The court room was thronged with spectators during the day, and one in the audience burst out laughing while Attorney Goodhart was addressing the jury. This brought him a reprimand irom the sheriff and a promise of ejec- tion if he did it again. The:v was also a loud racket below the floor where the jury sat, and workmen in the town clerk’s office were ob#.ed to cease. The Accused Recalled.

She was | asked about her trip south, and stated that with her husband she went by steamer from New York to-Charles- ton, and thence to Jacksonville. She could not tell how long they were be- tween places, but sald she stopped at Charleton and mailed postals from tigre to the girls at home. She said sister married George Beck in New London, and supposed that John Beck in Bridgeport, whom she knows, is a brother of her sister's husband. John She denied that she told May Burns that she would send her to Bridgeport re was any trouble. She adm e did have a girl known as Chip- pie about six years ago, but said she did not know she was but 16 and had run away from home. She denied talling Minnie Foster or the others to make It pleasant for May. when she left for Centerdale, though she admitted hearing Minnie Foster testify. She said she was 45 vears old, and said that Mr. Broley was In the room, and pointed to a good-looking man’of 35. There was a review of what she admitted doing with May Burns in the house, and she sald she treated her as she did the oth- ers. There were maay things she could not remember. Blaskin Gets Mixed Up. Morris Blaskin was then recalled, and was shown the account book which he had given the state’s attor- n The accounts were kept in the small book in Hebrew. Blaskin se- | lected a page in the book and started | reading, but was bothered somewhat about it. He was told by the court to read only what was there. Attorney Goodhart asked him to read the items nd translate him. He read a line which sounded like Florence Harrls, and the book was shown the jury. He also rea da list of women's wearing apparel and chamber furnishings, in- cluding four boxes of cigarettes, the total amount being $13.75. and he said he delivered the mall on the same day, He was asked by Major Hull how many Florences there were in the book, and if there were not eieht, which he sald might be, but in a'i cases the goods were not delivered. he " items were discussed in detail, ecially, two items of towels and an alarm clock. The witness became con- fused about the date, stating that it being two years ago it had got rubbed off. had looked over the book and the page had been marked by the stenographer, it was noticed that the prisoner was not in the room. The judge ordered her to return and told her not to go out again without the sheriff's per- ion. Blaskin denied saying that he had at book with $200 charged to Addie Burns. As Blaskin could not read the items on another page a short recess was ordered to give the state's at- torney time to have the writing trans- lated, After the recess Blaskin was shown a page in the book with the rame Addie and the figures $277, but he sald he did not know anything about it. He sald he was not asked to get his book with Addie Burns' ac- count, but a charge for a wranmer Addie bought. Being shown another page In the book with the name Addie Burns, he was asked by the state’s attorney why he had not told gbout the account to jor Hull in his office, and stated t he did not have time. He iden- tified another arccount with Addie Burns in the same hook. Addie Burns' Divorced Husband. arence Broley of Centerdale, R.

There was about the low tone in which the witness responded and he muttered something In reply which the court did not get, and he was asked to repeat it and he 'said that he told Mr. Hull that he would get a megaphone. Judge Wheeler called for such a remark an; him sharply warned him not to repeat it agaln and the witness asked the court’s pardon. After a few more questidns by Mr. Hull, Attorney t stated that his side rested. Witnesses Called in Rebuttal. After .a recess of five minutes al- lowed the attorneys for consultation, Mason Gray of New York, formerly of ew London, was called by Attorney Hull in rebuttal. Mr. Gray stated that as summoned by the state. He aid he had dined with MeNulty in this v and the latter told him that he ified for himself alone and wanted to help or herm no one. He told At- Goodnart that he had seen May s at the Burns and Thayer houses but had not been out with her in New Haven. Denials by May Burns, In rebuttal, May Burns was called and testified that she did not get a letter from McNulty and that she did not tell anyone that she did.

Arguments Started. At the openmg of the afternoon ses- sion, Attorney Alling, who is assist- ing the state’s attorney, made the first argument, He termed the Burns girl the angel child and lald great stress upon the treatment of her by Addie Burns, whom he gave a big setting out. He claimed that the evidence proved that Addie Burns was in the house when the assault was commit- ted and that the alibi was not estab- lisked. . He was followed by Attorney Stod- dard, who contended that the com- plaint against the woman had been changed and that she was being tried on something different than what she was arrested for, that from the evi- dence she should be acquitted on the charge of rape, but that if she was guilty .at all it was of entleing, which charge had a lesser penalty, and the fore she should be acquitted. The state’s attorney remonstrated against such a statement beind made. Mr. Stod- dard claimed the state had not proved its case and that Addie was away. Both of these arguments were short, thus giving the other two attorneys the longer time, Attorney Goodhart made /the third argument, which occupied until 4.45 o'clock, starting at three o'clock. He dwelt upon the duty' of the jury in this as well as any case and ureed that all facts be considered. He pro- ceeded to claim that the state’s claim was only upheld by the testimony of the girl, while there were all the others in opposition showing that Addie was away at the time. He claimed that the girl had been caught in a lie sev- eral times and that therefore little weight should be given her testimony. He attacked Attorney Alling and the delay in the bringing of the case, de- claring it was little short of hypocri- and intimated it was done to school the girl in her story. He quot- ed Massachusetts rulings regarding of a similar nature, and thought might be doubt about Dr. Ga- s testimony. Attorney Hull in the closing argu- ment had about fifteen minutes be- o there ne Clerks and carriers in the N postoffice have to keep a sharp nowadays to avold errors and demerits under a new rating system which went Sytern Is- working well here s0-faf ard system is worl well here B there have been no complaints from the postoffice employes. A large book is kept.with a page given over to each clerk and carrier, upon which his merit and demerit marks are recorded. When discovered in an offense, however, the employe is it is found that the offense is one for which he could not justly be considered blameworthy the marks are not placed ageinst his name. For mstance, a man may have taken a car in ample time to reach the office when he is due. But the car may break down. If the officials are satisfled that the car, not the man, is to blame no bad mark goes down_against him. But if the same man has a habit of boarding cars that break down a more thorough Investi- gation is made, There are hundreds of misdemeanors for which a carrier or clerk is given bad marks. His clothes may be un- tidy, he may not wipe his feet when he enters the office, and so on. But it is stated that there is mo disposition to “rub it in” to the employes unless the misdemeanors are of a flagrant nature. And the man who lives up to the rules closely has his merit marks to show for his attention to business. When promotion time comes the man with the clean slate, as far as demerits are_concerned, gets the benefit. The efficiency records are figured on the following basis: First, on the average speed with wrich ~the employes do their work from day to day; in other words, the quantity of work they turn out, Second, their accu:acy in perform- ing that work. Third, their faithfulness in observ- ing the postal regulations and pub- lished office rules, including their punctuality and regularity in attend- ance, Fourth, their familiarity with the regulations and instructions pertain- ing to their work, and, in the case of distributers, with thelr distribution scheme: Speed is to be reckoned on the amount of work done by the fastest man 'u the office. He is to be rated 100 and the other clerks and carriers from 100 per cent. down. Promotion requires an average of at least 70 per cent. The schedule of demerits appened decides what a man’s rating shall b provided he violates a rule. Insubor. dination is to recefve 500 demerit marks and lack of neatness from 10 to 200.

Second of the Preliminary Matches in the Intercity Contest—All Kinds of Scores. At the Arcanum club of Wednesday evening was rolled the second match in the preliminary series between the Arcanum club of this city and the Thames ciub of New London, with the result that the visitors took the mateh, getting two out of the three games. The teams were those known as No. 2 of each club. There have thus been two matches between the clubs and a peculiar feature is that the team play- ing at home has lost the match each time. There were all kinds of scores Wed- | nesday evening, Allen of the visitors | getting a total of less than 350, while Stevens of the locals went to 569, he | being the only one with the exception of Congdon who went over §00. He | also secured the high single, 209, al- | though Congdon and Caulkins both | went over 200 on singles, and by so doing Caulkins put the first game on the shelf for the visitors, although they won by only five pins. In the second game the locals let out and se- cured it by 79 pins, but the third gam went 1o the visitors by 35 pins. Stevens and H. Taylor were tled at 10 for the largest number of strikes, while Congdon was high on spares with 17. The visitors secured one more strike than did the locals, but had six spares less_and 40 pins less on the team totals. The locals had one more missed spare and six less breaks, but they failed to get the pins when needed and had a large number to spare when they did win. The scoring was by Fox and Rich- mond and Tilly was the umpire, The summary follows: Thames Club—Team Two. a8 H, Taylor 159 162 n 114 100 Fhittlesey 127 160 Congdon ~ 155 171 6 3| himself equal and entitled. reports, Falsifying trip report or other time record, 500; giving information to pub- lic regarding patron of office or re- garding mail matter, 500; returning to patron without authority mail depos- ited in box or drop, 500; registering on time recorder for another emplove, 500; intoxication on duty, 500; report- ing’ for duty under the Influence of liquor, 400; drinking in public places, though off duty 200; drinking in -ub- lic places, while in uniform. though off duty, 100; smoking while on duty, 100: discourtesy to patron of office, 10 to 200; altercatfon with fellow employe, 10 to 10 to 200; loitering in office, 10 to 200; loitering on route, 10 to 200; untidiness of desk, 10 to 200; losing mail 100: falling 'to reply promptly to official communication, ~ 5 to 100; _working overtime, contrary to Instructions, 10, EMBANKMENT WALL AND SIDE OF BUILDING CAVE IN.

CHIEF WILKIE OF SECRET SERVICE ON WITNESS STAND. Information Concerning Con- duct of His Office. ‘Washington, Jan. 27.—What is de- scribed as one of the most thrilling hearings of this session took place to- day in the rooms of the house com- mittee on appropriations when the sub-committee in charge of the draft- ing of the sundry civil appropriation bill had Chief Wilkie of the secret service on the witness stand to fur- nish information concerning the. con- duct of his office. He was freely ques- tioned by the members whose names have figured in the secret service con- troversy with the president. Mr. Wilkie objected to the limita- tion of his service to counterfeit ctases, but it is believed that the sub- committee will recommend a feature : the forthcoming bill similar to the one of last year. For more than three hours Mr, Wil- kie was plied with questions in regard to the secret service. The significant fast was brought out at the hearing that although the lim- | itation placgd upon the expenditure of | the money fur secret service last year in the appropriation bill reduced the number of men employed by the se- | cret service under Chief Wilkie by nine, those same nine men were placed on the rolls of the department of Jjustice. The secret service in the de- partment of justice was described as consisting of 25 men besides the nine dropped by the treasury department secret service. Chief Wilkie said that counterfeit- ing increased rapidly during the re- cent financial _stringency and that there was much need of an increase to $135,000 of last year's appropria- tion of $115,000.
