Brown, counsel for the de- fendant, as a result of whuch Judge Malthie stated that the court would come in on next Monday for the trial of the case. He adjourned court until Monday morning at 10.30. Sergt. Allen C, Matthews of the Norwich police force began the tes- imeny when court opened in the morning. He said he was at police Leadquarters between 9.5 and 9.50 on the night of the assault when he was told of 1t by Capt. Twomey. He hur- ried up to the Lennen house without putting on his uniform. Officer Ca roil was there at the houss, and also Dr. Cassidy, Mr. Holmes, Capt. Len- ren, and Mr, and Mrs. Boland. Mr. Tolmes was there for probably hali an_hour after the sergeant gct there before Mr, Holmes went to the police station with Sergeant Kane. In con- sequence of a conversation With Offi cer Carroll, the Witness said he ob- served spots of blood on Mr. Holmes' coat. He said nothing to Holme about them. John Tarrant and Offi- cer Murphy came to the house while the witness was taere. Just before the witness got to_the house he met Charles Whitney. The sergeant found no place about the house where any- one had broken in. Capt. Lennen looked at the safe before he was taken to the hospital. At that time one eve closed and ‘it &ghi have been difficult_to see because of the band- ages. He felt some of the papers over rut didn’t read any, but raid every thing seemed to be all right. Going back to the police headquar- ters the witness saw Royal Holmes there. Holmes said he had been at his office till 8.3 that night and had then gone to a house, the second above the driveway above the old gas house, He to collect rent. saig he met a person named Fitzgerald near there and had gone to Pulaski hall where the marines were having a dance. The witness testified to seeing the $1,800 note in this case In Sergt Kane's hands’at police headquarters. The police made searche around out- side and through the house for the weapon that had been u but found none. The sergeant sald he took the note te Capt, Lennen at the hospital that night, showing it to him there. The| sergeant said he read the note and envelope at the captain's request. The captain was much surprised and sat up in bed immediately. Upon returning to police headquar- the sergeant reportsd to Capt. in the presence of Mr.| Hoimes. He told Capt. Twomey about | reading the note to Capt. Lennen at | the hospits] and how Capt. Lennen sat up in bed and wanted to know where the note was found and sald be had seen it in his place at least within five days and that it was not paia. Mr. Holmes told Capt. Twomey, the itress said, that if he would come G his office he would show him a re- ceipt for the note and that he had been carrying it in his pocket for four weeks or a montn, Mr. Holmes wore a dark cverc and light cap that night. Mr. Holme told the witness he went to the rear of the Polish family’s house to collect ; rent saw no light and came away. He sa'd he went home from there on the .30 car. On cross examination, Brown asked Sergt. Mat 5 the Pulaski hs on and the the trolley ecars run, and also | the people he found at the Lennen house and what he did there.

He thought he was the| proper person to have it because he | understood_he was handling Capt. Lennen’s affairs. At that time he did | not know Mr. Holmes and Mr. Tac- | t were brothers-in-law. He also| {told Mr. Tarrant that he was : Mr. | { tion | clothing, ‘arrant was { | person he “told that to. The witness heard no conversation {between Capt.

The sergeant let Mr. Holmes have the sergeants ccat and gloves to go home in, It was snowing then, On redirect examination Sergt. Mat- thews said Mr. Holmes had a wat which was compared with the c at the police station and found to correct. Sergt. John H. Kane of the Norw police force, 29 vears on the force and 6 vears a sergeant, was the next wit- ness. He first' learned of the assault upon Capt. Lennen at the police Sub- station at Greeneville about 9.25 from Capt. Twomey. Later he came in the atrol wagon to Cant. Lennen’s house about 0.10. Dr. idy and Capt. Lennen were in the kitchen, Sergt. Matthews, Officer Carroll, Mr. and rs. Boland, John Tarrant and Mr. Holmes in_the sitting room. At the Lennen house, Sergt. Kane said he asked Mr. Boland if the man who ran across the street was as tall as this man (po‘nting to Holmes)? Mr. Boland thought he was and said he had a cap and dark coat. Thought also he might be a little heavier but it was hard to tell because of the po- sition in which he was running. At the police station, the sergeant ®ald Holmes told him Mrs. Lennen left from $30.000 to $32,000. made him and Jesse Wilcox executors, and thers was to be a hearing in the probate court the next day. The cstate was all left to her hushand and in case of his death half went to each exacutor, The gergeant said to Holmes, “You've got Dbloodspots on ¥eur coat. How did you get them.” Mr. Holmes said it might be paint and started tn rub it. The sergeant sto and took the coat away irom Rim T Mr. Holmes said when he ga! homo his wife had just got a message that Capt. Lennen had heen assaulted. Mr. Holmes said he went to the faucet, drew a glass of water, drank and went to_Capt. Lennen’s home. Sergt. Kane identified the envelope containine the note and also identified a flashlight which he said Capt. Two- mey showed him at police headquar- ters. The sergeant said there was a spot of blood on the flashlight at that time, but it does not show now.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form | or other, says a well-known authority, | because ‘the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; cloz up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the Kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri- nary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kid- ! reys aren't acting rignt, or if bladder bothers you get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a giass of water before breakfast for a few days | and your kidneys will then act fine.
