Mr. Donovan took the stand at 11.07 o'clock and was on until the noon re- cess at 1 o'clock. He had another session on the stand in the afternoon from 2 o’cl until the close of court. His attorneys finished his direct ex- amination and handed him over for cross examination by the attorneys for the plaintiff, which took up the last half hour of the day. Further cross examination of Mr. t, was 53 | Donovan -will follow today and the de- fense will also introduce more wit- nesses among whom vill be handwrit- ing experts to show that Mr. Donovan did not write any of the anonymous posfal cards which have been intro- duced in the case. It Is understood that the defense will not have a great number of Civil Engmur Testifies. When court came in on Wednesday morning, Civil Engineer George E. Pitcher resumed his description of the plan of the second floor of the Alice buflding where the office of Mr. Craney was on July 3, 1913. He sald that there is a drilled hole in the let- ter box cover in the door of the office and that the interior of the room can bee seen by looking through the hole. Pictures of Craney's Office. During his attendance at the trial Mr. Donovan has almost constantly carried wi;h him a package tied up in wrapping paj This was unwrapped on Wednesd-y and its contents, which were nine photographs were made ex- hibits in the case. They showed in- terior and exterior views of room No. 10 in the Alice building which had becn the office of Mr. Craney. There was no person shown in any of the pictures. Attorney’ John H. Barnes conducted the examination of Mr. Pitcher. In cross examination of this wit- ness, Attorney R. M. Douglass asked many questions about the exterior and interior of the Alice building and its surroundings. Mr. Pitcher sald he {could almost describe the building ‘without a plan. - Mr. Pitcher said the plan was made April 13, 1913, He did not know whether or not he could see the Cra- ney office from the head of the stairs. The photographs were taken April 3 and 4, 1913. Mr. Craney was not in his office and Mr. Pitcher knew it. Once the hour was between 6 and 7 a, m. and the other between 9 and 11 a. m. Mr. Pitcher was accompanied by his assistant. He did not see any one about the place. Defendant on the Stand. At 11.07, Attorney Barnes called Mr. Donovan, the defendant to the stand. Mr. Donovan safd he is 50 years old, was born in Norwich, is a brick mason and centractor, has built prominent buildings and has been street com- missioner, assessor, deputy highway commissioner and had held other of- fices. He was asked as to his acquaintance with the plaintiff, John F. Craney, and said that he had known him for years and had given work to members of the family when he was street commission- er. He had also aided Mr. Craney in getting part of the insurance on the Elks’ home. The witness said he had first met Mrs, Willard A. Church at the home of Dr. N. B. Lewis, in October, 1903. Shortly after that he gave Mr. Church work at the eity barn. Mr, Donovan said he ecalled upon Mrs. Church at her home and at her invitation and that she had written him thousands of letters before July, 1912. The witness said he had also had a talk with Mrs, Church on CHff street in 1912 and she asked what Kind of a fellow Craney was and he teld her that hé was a good fellow. Remarks and Answers Ruled Out. Mr. Donovan was a very discoursive ‘witness and had to be held to the subject of the questions by his at- torney, but he made a number of statements in the course of his testi- by the mony that were ruled out court, Among these he said that he gave Mrs, Church $10 at the time of the above talk.| At another point he said he had spent $8,000 on her and that he was through with her. This was at a time, he said, when he met her by appointment on June 29, 1912 at Hilitop in Montville. At that time they talked matters over, Mr. Donovan #aid, and she admitted she had been intimate with Mr. Craney and broke down and wept and asked that Mr. Donovan - do - nothing to injure Mr. Craney as he wds a poor man. Mrs. Church spoke of visiting places in Norwich soon after June 22 and among the places she went into a tailor shop and ordered a coat and Mr. Donovan said he would pay for it. The answer was ruled out. Watching the Alice Building. Mr. Donovan stated that he saw Mrs. Church going into the Alice building from June 22 up to July 3, 1912. He told of seeing Mrs. Church go into the Alice building about 8 a. m_ July 3 and about that time saw Mr. Craney near the post office. Mr. Don- ovan went to the Alice building and to Dr, Comeau's office and then left the bmilding. Mr. Donovan said he watched the Alice building until 10 but did not see Mrs. Church come out. He had a man named Walter Hill watching the office at the time. ‘Then Mr. Donovan told in detail about finding Mrs. Church in the Cra- ney office on July 8, 1912. He at first called up the Craney office and-some- one answered. He had seen the wo- man enter the Alice building a short time before. He went In a round- about way to the Alice building and heard voices in the Craney office, and, lifting up the Iid of the letter box, looked in and saw Mr. Craney and Mrs. Church sitting In the same chair. ‘Then they chi positions and Mr. Denovan shout: ow I have caught you, you —— ¥ Mr. Donovan said he did not see any criminal act on the part of the couple then, The time of the office scene was about 9.30 a. m. Mr. Donovan told of going to the Hlks home and watch- ing the Alice building from a window, He made short calls at other places on the merning of the scene. After a recess Mr. Donovan was shown a picture of the Craney office and he told how the furniture was lo- cated on July 3, 1912. Mr. Donovan said on the day of the effice scene he called _ Mre. Church to come out and a doctor in the building came in and asked what the matter was. Mr. Donovan said he found a married ‘woman in the Craney office.

Mrs, Church was present when he told Mr. Church about this, - In the course of Mr. Donovan's tes- timony he tried hard to tell about his acquaintance with Mrs. Church, but objection was raised by.the counsel each time-hng the court ruled out tes- timony along this line, telling the jury that anything in regard to Mrs. Church ‘as regards guilt had nothing to do with this case. Mr. Doriovan told of" the arranged meeting in the Elks home with George P. Madden and Craney. The matter was talked over briefly and Mr. Dono- van said Mr, Craney did not deny the story tf the scene in the Craney office and appeared that he wanted to keep the matter away from Mr. Madden. Mr. Craney would not agree to see George Bruce about the matter. Noth- ing came of the interview. On later occasions*Mr. Donovan said he was so much bothered by Mr. Cra- ney trying to hear what Mr. Donovan ying to men that Mr. Donovan make a complaint to City At- torney Hall. He told of other minor trovbles with Mr. Craney. Then the attorneys showed him a lot of letters and postal card exhibits in the case, Afternoon Session. Mr. Donovan resumed the stand again in the afternoon and was shown a number of exhibits by Attorney Barnes. One letter written to Mrs. Church one month after the alleged meeting between her and Mr. Craney on July 3, 1912, in Mr. Craney's of- fice was admitted by .Mr. Donovan, but he said the envelope produced in court was not the one in which he sent the letter. He denied all knowledge of a letter written on July 17, 1912, and also said he never had anyone write letters or postal cards for him to Mr. or Mrs. Church. He also denied writing any of the postal cards or letters signed May or Mary. The witness said that any letters or cards which he sent to Mr. or Mrs. Church were written by himself. He was shown a batch of fourteen empty envelopes, which were the ones which Mrs. Church had said were the ones which contained letters too scan- dalous to be kept. Mr. Donovan said the addresses on the envelopes were in his handwriting, but he could not tell what had been in the letter He was asked If he had ever written anything derogatory about the char- acter of Mr. Church and he anawered that he had. He was asked the same about Mrs. Church and he answered that the letters were here to speak for themselves, but he mentioned one un- savory term which he had applied to her. Mr. Donovan testifled that on sever- al occasions in letters he had urged Mrs. Church to admit to her husband the truth of the accusations that Mr. Donovan made against her. One exhibit after another was shown to Mr. Donovan. who told to whom he sent those which he admitted writ- ing. Some of the exhibits were postal cards addressed to John Donovan. The defendant denied writing these, but he admitted receiving them and sending them either to Mr. Craney, Mr, or Mrs. Church or George Madden. He admitted writing a letter to Mrs. Church on a letter head of the state highway commissioner's office, which spoke of a meeting in the Alice build- ing. No One Promised to Keep Him Posted One postal card signed by May said the writer would keep Mr. Donovan posted on every movement made by Mrs. Church, but Mr. Donovan answer- ed in repiy to the question of Attorney Barnes that he knew of no one who ever made that promise to him. About & number of the letters Mr. Dono- van described in brief the circum- stances that caused him to write them. He admitted having addressed the return envelope addressed to J. J. Donovan in which was a letter from John Charon of Woonsocket. The witness said he wrote to Charon to” find out about the truth of the statements made by Bruce and Harris about Craney. And the question which the witness was asked referred to Mr. Donovan’s statement is a letter to Mr. Church that he would not reveal the name of Mrs. Church in the hearing before the Federal eourt where Mr. Donovan was fined $100. Mr., Donovan testified that he had kept the promise and had not revealed the name of the woman. Wrote With Left Hand. Mr. Donovan was asked to explain what his purpose was in writing to the plaintiff’s sister and he said it was with the idea that Mr. Craney’s people might keep him away from Mrs. Church and keep Mr. Craney from getting into the same trouble with her as Mr, Donovan had had. The letter to Mr. Craney’s sister, the witness said he had written with his left hand. In regard to a’' letter which spoke of Mr. Church being on a drunk, Mr. Donovan said he had sent Mr. Church $20 at that time but the money had been sent back te him. Mr. Donovan was shown a bunch of five letters, without signatures, which he said he did not write, and he ! testified that he had not written an- onymous letters to Mr. and Mra. Church, but he might have failed to sign some letter, Advised to Talk Louder. The voice of the witness grew so low at times that it was difficult to hear and Judge Shumwaay advised him to talk so that the jurors could hear, as they were to decide the case on what evidence they would hear. Saw. Mrs. Church Mail Letter, The concluding question of Atterney Barnes was meant to show that Mrs. Church wrote to Mr. Craney before Hot Weather Tonic and Health Builder Are you run down—nerveus—tired?

Craney Had Harmed Him, Then the lawyer asked why it was that Mr. Donovan brought Mr. Craney into this matter. “Because he is a grafter,” Mr. Don- ovan ered, and because Mr. Craney harmed him. He said that Craney was on the excise committee in_the legislature. When askéd how Mr, Craney had harmed him, and what he meant by saying he was a grafter, Mr. Donovan said that it had cost him a $15 as- sessment to the Retail Liquor Deal- ers’ association, and that a lobbylst had told Mr. Donovan that the lobby- ist had paid Mr. Craney money as a legislator. Mr. Donovan declined to tell the name of the lobbyist but said he was introduced to him by J. Henry Rora- back. Mr. Donovan did not know ‘Whether the lobbyist was a lawyer or a business man. Mr. Donovan said that he d@id not pay the $15 with knowledge that it was to be used for corrupt purposes. Attorney Douglass made an attempt to follow up this line of questioning, but Judge Shumway advised him to ::t :-ck to the immediate matter In n The witress testified further that he considered Craney had harmed him through getting hl marrested by the federal authorities for sending a postal card through the mall. Mr. Donovan sald that it was on. July 5. 1912 that Craney first charged him with sending anonymous cards. This talk was in front of Boynton's restaurant and Mr. Craney was Hke a crazy man, the witness sald, fol- lowing him up and asking what he meant by sendinig these cards. Mr. Donovan was followed up by Mr. Craney, the witness said, to the cor- ner of Rose place until the witness told Craney he would call the police. Jeered at and Followed Him. The witness was asked to expiain further how Mr. Craney annoyed him. Mr. Donovan testified that Mr. Craney jeered at him and followed him around the streets and that Mrs. Church also participated in this. He described how Mrs. Church would step into the car station or the Boston store or Smith’s drug store or some other place and point him (the witness) out and that Mr. Craney would follow and intercept him on the street at differ- ent points and jeer at him. The wit- ness sald that Mr. Craney would walk on one side of the street and that . Church would walk on the other. Craney would mo: Donovan's walk and cough and jeer at him. Mr. Donovan saild that he had complained to Policeman Morgan, Policeman Mur- phy and Capt. Twomey and was teld to see Prosecuting Attorney Hall, but Mr. Hall said he did not want to do anything because Mr. Criney was a neighbor to him. ‘When_ court adjourned at 4.30, At- torney Douglass and the witness were in a vigorous and loud-toned exchange of questions and answers ‘regarding a complaint Mrs. Church made to the police about Mr. Donovan insulting her on the street. < There were only two sympathy strikes in Canada last year.
