State Attorney Hull, who is assisted by Attorney John D. Hall, began the ‘Buckley trial by calling Dr. Louils T. Cassidy to the stand. The doctor at- tended the autopsy performed upon Mr. McKay's body by the late Dr. Rush W, Kimball and he described the way the body was bruised and said that the skull was fractured. Coroner Franklin. H. Brown made. notes of the autopsy. After Civil BEngineer George E. Pitcher had explained a plan that he had made of the locality of the acci- . B. Lewis was called to the witness stand. He said that at the time of the ac- cident he was coming across Preston bridge with Sherwood B. Potter and saw_the Buckley automobile and Mr. McKay. When the doctor reached the machine when it had come to a stop, the o Charles of this city, injured man was under the front f it. Mr. McKay was unconscious and the doctor gave him treatment, which_seemed to revive him, and then he had pim taken to the hospital. Poings, about the mechanism of a 1913 Cadillac car, which was the kind Mr. Buckley had, were explained by Irving Watkinson of the A. C. Swan company, and he also told how the car is operated. Trolleymen Testify. Leonard F., Lovett, who was the mo- torman on the troiley car that was going towards Greeneville, said he saw Mr. McKay step from the curb &nd come towards the trolley car. The car was bound to the barn without pas- sengers and he told Mr. McKay that there was a car following. The witness | 3tn said that the Buckley automobile was near the rear of the trolley car and he saw Mr. McKay looking towards it. e heard a woman's ejaculation just as the auto was abreast of the trolley car. . Maurice B. Looby, who was thie con- ductor on the empty trolley car,testi- fled that he saw Mr. McKay coming towards the trolley car and saw him hit in the chest by the automobile. The man clung to the auto for a time and then fell under it. He was dragged Dby_the automobile. = ‘William Joseph Fitzgerald and Lioyd G. Gelino “also_testified as- to what they saw of the accident, Coroner Franklin H. Brown told of the testi- mony_ at the investigation he con- ducted, and Sherwood G. Potter gave testimony as to what he saw when Mr. McKay was hit by the automobile. Attorgeys Arthur - M. Brown and Charles D. James were counsel for Mr. Buckley, the defendant. Defense Begins. At 3.15, after a_recess, the court came in again and the defense was Dbegun when Attorney Arthur M. Brown called Hugh Kinder to the stand. He testified that he lives in this city at 351 Main street, which is the third house west of the stable fronting on Burnham square, where the Buckley accident occurred. Mr. Kinder said that he saw the Buckley machine on the evening at the time of the acci- dent and when it was going past his house it was not going more than 12 or 15 miles per hour. The witness did not see the accident. The witness was not asked any questions by State Attorney Hull. Saw Accident from Her Window. Mrs. Rose E. Riley, who has lived for six years in the Marguerite building, which fronts on Burnham square, te tified that she occupied corner apart- ments there. She said she saw the accident as she was looking from her front window.. She said that she knew Mr. McKay by sight but not Mr. Buck- ley. ‘At the suggestion of Attorney Brown she told the story of the accident in her own words. She said a trolley car passed and she saw Mr. McKay step- ping out in the street and he was look- ing down. Then he looked up and saw the machine, as if it made some noise to attract his attention. He stepped back and then stepped forward again in front of the auto, throwing himself across the front of the machine. She thought he caught his heel in the trolley track. The automobile was going _very, very slow, she said, and Mr. McKay was dragged only a very short distance. When State Attorney Hull cross ex- amined her he took up her statement that ehe thought Mr. McKay caught his heel in the trolley track, asking her to explain just which track Mr. McKay was on when he caught his heel. She said she saw Mr. McKay tain saw the Tulip, which at that time had 'a wedge anchor out in the hope of being able to pull herself off. morning and remained there for about two hours, being finally hauled into A line was passed from the Rowell doep ater b e S ment, trans | to the stranded steamer and the Tulip m '.p‘t.nct badly P nged .hy the slid off the rocks into deep water. o i By Anet an ; Sxamination of he vessel was N , Seeing that it Jrithont setusning fo New London. |not taking water, decided (o continey e Tulip the trip to Montauk and after ex- changing courtesies with th Of the Rowell steamed away. — * " MADE AN INCREASE IN CAPITAL STOCK.

When the trolley car stopped after the accident she said she could just see the end of it from her win- do e was asked by the state attorney if Mr. McKay did not come across the street- fros the Marguerite side, but she said: “No, it was from the Burn- ham sid Defendant on the Stand. The defendant, 'William H. Buckley, superintendent for neayly five years of the Baltic Mills company, operating a cotton mill at Baltic, was®next.put on the stand. He said he is 47 and was Dborn at Manchester, England, and had formerly been In the employ of an ‘English concern installing new textile machinery. He had erected machinery in Taftville, and came to Baltic to erect machinery in 1899, and subse- quently became overseer with the com- pany ‘and later assumed his- present position. He had driven his automobile about 2,000 miles in all up to the time the accident happened. scribing the accident on the even- ing of June 2, he said he took his wife and daughter Into the machine started for home from the Boston store. First Saw Mr. MoKay. From Franklin square he saw one = over: him to re: headquarters, which he ‘went home. Cross Examined. On cross examination Mr. Buckley) Mr. Mc- fAirst saw him. Mr. McKay seemed to be looking right at the Buckley auto. Because Mr. McKay hesitated and gave the witness the impression that he was going to allow the car to go by he did not put the brakes on then, hut kept bearing towards the left. witness said he had the brakes on six feet before he struck Mr. McKay and that he dragged Mr. McKay about four feet after he was hit. When he first saw the man ahead of him the auto was not going faster than 15 miles an hour. Judge Bennett Makes Inquiry. To_ a question from Judge Bennett, Mr. Buckley said that when he first saw Mr. McKay he threw out the clutch with his foot, but when Mr, McKay's action gave the impression that he was going to let the auto go by he threw the clutch back in again, but almost immediately threw it out again and put the brakes on. The car was in high gear at the time. Considered Car Under Control. State Attorney Hull also followed up this line of questioning. Mr. Buckley said that under the circumstances he considered he had his automobile under complete control. To Attorney Brown, Mr. Buckley said -he believed if Mr. McKay had stood still in the spot where he hesi- tated the auto would have passed in front of him safely. In answer to the state attorney, Mr. Buckley eaid that Mr. McKay stepped five or six feet after he hesitated: At this point the jury was excused till the next morning at 10 o'clock. Boy Who Stole Jeweiry. State Attorney Hull called up_ the case of John Higgins, who changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on the charge of theft of jewelry of the value of about $200 in Mystic. Bracelets and watch fobs were the articles taken from the Berry-Kinney store on Oct. Major Hull said the boy is 18 and he thought this was a case where the sentence would be to the state reform- atory. Attorney J. J. Desmond, who had been appointed guardian ad litem, spoke for the boy Higgins, saying that another boy had been the instigator of the theft. The boys made an unsuc- cessful attempt to pawn the jewelry in New London and _then went on & freight train to New Haven. Here they showed some of the jeweiry to a man who subsequently led thém to a police station, where they were .ar- rested. he boy has a father in Providence who is a shipping clerk, but his mother is dead. Judge Bennett inquired of the boy about his father and suggested if the boy’s father would take care of him it might be possible to put the boy on probation. Sentence in the case went over for a day so that the father might be com- municated with. COUNTY AGENTS ARE TO BE SPEAKERS | n of Improvement lopment Commit- At Joint Conven League and De tee.

Included in the plans of the New Haven road for development in the New London section in connection with the construction of the new bridge across the Thames river is the four- tracking of the main line from the Groton end of the structure to Mid- way, a distance of nearly three miles. The service is now maintained with a double track, but because of the great increase in traffic this is no longer ade- quate. Bids for the laying of the two addi- tional tracks will, it is understood, be opened Wednesday and work will be commenced immediately. With the prospect of the bridge itself being started in the early spring, there is promise of activity in rallorad con- struction shortly such as New London has never before experienced.

The new Fifth avenue residence for Commodore Morton ¥. Plant will rep- resent an outlay of $1,000,000. Plans were flled Monday in New. York. The New York World says of Commodore Plant’s proposed mansion: “Plans were filed yesterday with the building department for Morton F. Plant's new residence on the north- east corner of Fifth avenue and Eighty-sixth street. They specify that this latest addition to ‘Millionaires’ Row’ will be a six story building, with a frontage of 100 feet overlooking Cen- tral park and a depth of 50 feet. .The cost is estimated at $300,000. Mr. Plant is reported to have paid $700,- 000 for the grounds, bringing the total to_$1,000,000. “The plans call for a facade of brick and limestone in the French renais- sance style, and an outstanding fea- ture will be a balcony running around the entire house at the sixth floor. Another feature will be a roof house. “Mr. Plant bought his new Fifth avenue property last July, hoping to evade there the trade invasion, which has made his home at Fifth avenue and Fifty-second street undesirable in his opinion.
