Perkins of Allyn's Point, on the charge of manslaughter in shooting and killing her son-in-law, Thomas V. Coatchelly, of New London, on June 3d last at her home at Allyn's Point, where he was trying to force an entrance into the house in order to see his six months old son, it is claimed. The court session was held in the com- mon pleas court room, as the supreme room. Deputy Jailer Oscar Main brought the accused from the jail'on Cedar street to court in his autornobile. She bore the trying experience of the day with fortitude, but appeared somewhat haggard and worn by the nervous strain she is under. At various times, as she listened to the questions and answers in the testimony that was giv- en, she nodded her head approvingly at the answers that were returned. It is understood that about twenty- five witnesses have been summoned in on the case, wh promises to run well into next we Only three nesses were on the stand Wednesday Morse Case Possibly This Term. ‘When the jury had b selected for the Perkins trial, State's Attorney Hadlai A. Hull requested that the re- mainder of the jurors on the panel be excused subject to recall, as he said that there was a good prospect of try- ing the Marion Morse case at this ses- sion of court.

Civil Engineer Explains Plans. } Civil F ineer George E. Pitcher was | the £ witness put on by the state, explaining plans which he had made for the case. | The first w a plan of the home of Mrs. P at Allyr Point, in the town of 1 It howed ere was a storm door at the trance of the house, and that 1 door w a solid wooden one without glass in it.

The locat of a te phone was shown in the front corner of the sit- ting room, close to the door into the ! hall. Other articles in the sitting room shown on the plan were an or- gan st the wall towards the mid- dle of the room on the side opposite the hall doorway, a graphophone and a eraphophone record stand in the between pace the two front windows and was called upon to give ments as io the small ., where the storm door was and of the hallway. It was 19 feet di- agonally across the parior, I id,from the hall room door to the doorway of a bedroom in which there was no door. The second plan deseribed by the civil neer showed the location of the Perkins home d its surroundings, the house standing facing southerly to- !“'nrd\ the road between Gales erry | and Ledyard Center. The barn is diag- | onally ac 3 road and fa g the | house. shed, two henhouses, |a privy, a corn house and ice house were shown westerly from the dwell- | ing house. The surveys for the plans |had been made June 5 1913, which was the second day after the shoot- Photographs as Exhibits, Flalf a dozen plotographs of the lo- ity were also introduced as exhibits. They were both interior and exterior views. One of them showed a big bloodspot in the matting on the floor of porch inside the storm door. Anoth- er one showed a crowbar whose point- | ed end was braced against the base- board at the rear of the hall, and its other end protruding a little over the doorsill and under one of the double front doors, which had fallen back from iis hins The crowbar was 4 feet 101-2 Inches long. During a short recess of the court Mrs, Wilbur, wife of the Salvation | here; had a short talk Door Jamb Broken by Bullet. Another photograph taken from the sitting room showed a portion of the lefthand door jamb of the frent deor chipped off, The civil engineer said this break in the doerjamb looked as |if it had been made by a bullet of {1atrze sige fired from (he sitting room.

This was al- most directly over the large blood spot in the mattting on the floor of the storm shed. The scar in the doorjamb was between 42 and 43 inches- above the floor. The witness testified that there was a break around the lock of the door to the storm shed, and that the strap hinge at the top of the righthand one of the double front doors had been torn out from the woodwork so as to allow that righthand doer to fall back. He could not tell whether the door had been locked. The third map described by the wit- ness was of the locality of the New Haven railroad station and of the post- office and the Cyrus Allen place there. There was a path across lots, well defined in some spots, to the Perkins place. The state’s attorney concluded his exdmination of the witness about 12.45, and Attorney Desmond conducted a cross-examination until the noon re- cess at 1 o'clock. From the Lillian M Perkins house the nearest house on the road to Ledyard Center is the J. W. Jennings house, 1,800 feet dissant, and in the opposite direction from the Perkins house the nearest house on the road is 1,150 feet distant. Neither of these houses could be seen from the Perkins house, the witness said. Afternoon Session, When court was resumed after the noon recess, Attorney Desmond con- tinued the cross examination of Mr. Pitcher. He brought out the polnf that there were dents in the front door of the Perkins house, showing where the crowbar had rested against the door and that they showed they were fresh dents. The witness couid not tell whether the bolt of the lock on the door was shot in or out of the lock or not. There were other marks on the paint of the front door that showed where the crowbar might have been moved back and forth. Both the at. torney for the prisoner and thestate's attorney questioned the witness about what marks on the door might appear from the erowbar if outside force was applied to the door. In the left hand door of the double front doors, the witness said the lower bolt into the sill was out of its socket, but the bolt at the top of the door was in its sock- et. There was much questioning about the condition of these two front doors, Medical Examiner’'s Testimony. Dr. N. B. Lewis of this city, medical examiner for the town of Ledyard for about 16 years, told of recelving a call from Coroner Franklin H. Brown, with whom he went to the home of the accused on the night of June 3rd, find- H. E. Draper, Mrs. Per the accused. her daughter, M elly, the wife of the late Thom- Coaltchelly.

Made the Arrest. Deputy Sheriff Herbert E. Draper this city who made the arrest of s. Perkins at her home after the shooting told of going there with Dr. E. J. Brophy of this city who came to the deputy sheriff’'s house after him with an automobile. They reach- between 5.30 and ed the Perkins hou 5.45. The sheriff saw the dead body of Coatchelly lying in the storm porch. Then he went into the house where he found Mrs. Perkins alone, except with two small children, one the Coat- chelly baby and the other her son’s baby. . Said She Used Shotgun, Mrs. Perkins told the deputy sher- iff, he testified, that she had shot Coat- chelly with a gun and she got it for him from the place where it stood in the sitting room. The deputy sheriff found that the right hand shell had been exploded and the hammer was down. The left hand shell was still loaded and the hammer cocked. He unloaded the shotgun and kept the shells, which he produced in court and also identified the Winchester 12 gauge shotgun. The gun and shells and bullet exhibits.

Mrs. Perkins Called Deputy Sheriff. On cross -examination the deputy sheriff said It was Mrs, Perkins, the accused, who first called him over the telephone but he could not understand what she was saying but from in- formation he got through the central operator he and Dr. Brophy went (o ! the Perkins house. The cross exam- | ination went over again what the dep- uty sheriff did and what he saw im- mediately after his arrival there. He spoke to Mrs, Perkins through the | front window and went around to the back door at her direction where she | let_him in. Court then adjourned to the next morning at 10 o'clock when the ses- slon will be held in the regular su- perior court room. - NO DANGER NOW OF RECEIVERSHIP For United States Finishing Company, Says Boston Publication. Under its new management the af- fairs of the United States Finishing company have been radically bettered, both as regards financing and manu- facturing conditions, says the Boston News Bureau in its current issue, and there is every indication that the im- provement will continue. All danger of a receivership has long since passed, and the banks which were obliged to grant credit extension at the time of the company’s financial difficulties in March will eventually be paid in full. Since March 1 Unifed States Finish- ing has as a matter of fact reduced its bank indebtedne: well over cent,, or from $2,115,000 to $1,6 By receiving credit extension for a year at 6 per cent., the company is prot: for a year, but in the meantime expected that a refinancing plan_ will be perfected to take care of the bank obligations. Based on the showing months from March 30 to Sept. 30, United States ' Finishing is earning well over double its interest require- ments, the gross profits of $121,232 comparing with floating debt charges of $54,7" The nt profits of $66,447 are, however, expected to be material- ly increased during the coming half year owing to the marked improvement in the finishing business. the busiest season for which is ordinarily from October to April Allowing only for the same earnings during the coming half years as in the past, United States Finishing, with net of $132,000, would be able to meet div dend requirements with an ample mar- gin' to spare on $1,500,000 new 7 per cent. preferred stock as was at one time suggested. No definite plan of refunding the current bank obligations which will probably be done by a stock issue has vet been perfected, but gen- uine and substantial earning capacity has been demonstrated. Tt is estimated that United States nishing does about two-thirds of the independent finishing business of the country.
