Holmes of this city on the charge of a murderpus assault upon Capt. James Lennen of 40 Boswell avenue on the night of Dec. 5th last, brought the count up e an even dozen so far in the second trial of the case ch is taking place, at New Lon- don in the superior court before Judge William . Case and a jury. They were Police Sergeant John H. Kane, Dr. Marvin = Scarborough of New Haven, a blood-test expert, John Donovan of 56 Roath street, Charles F. Whitney, city editor of the' Norwich Bulletin, and Miss Helen Sumner of Putnam, a cousin of Capt. Lennen’s deceased wife. Juror Reginald M. Rowland of New London delayed the opening of the court ten minutes in the morning as he was late in arriving. When asked by Judge Case what was the mater. he said he had talked with somebody on_the street longer than he realized. Resuming his testimony, which was begun late Friday afternoon, Officer Michael J. Carroll testified {o seeing bloodspots on the floor of the kitchen and a bloody hand print on the dining room side of the door casing of the doorway from the kitchen into the dining room. There was a bolt on the door that led from the kitchen to the stairway to the cellar. The officer said he saw the blood- spot on Mr. Holmes' overcoat, over the left hresst nockes, about one mimute after Holmes reached the Lennen house. Holmes was then in the din- ing room at the corner of the dining room table near the safe. The officer said it was about 20 minutes after he got to the house when he went into the cellar and the door was locked then. When Mr. Holmes went into the Kitchen, Capt. Lennen, Dr. Cassidy, Mr. Boland and Mr. Whitney —werc there. The officer stood at the thresh- old of the door. Holmes did not go any nearer than two or three feet to the captain. Then lolmes came out inio the dining room and took a ci- garette from his pocket. The officer spoke to Sergt. Matthews and Sergt. Kane about something he had observ= ed about Mr. Holmes. When finally coming away from the house the offi- cer saw_a light burning in the cellar. Somebody went back and put it out. Five minutes before they came| away from the house the officer said he opened the safe door. Holmes was not there then. He didn't have to turn the bolts. Capt. Lennen look- ed in some of .the compartments and 1 | H i i felt around and the safe was then| closed and locked. On cross-examination by Attorney Arthur M. Brown, the witness went| over the points of the notice he re-| ceived by the police telephone to gol to the Lennen house and of his arrival| at the house where he found Mrs. Bo- land and Capt. Lenncn, covered with blood. In response to the question why he didn't examine the front part of the house, the officer caid he didn’t think it neceseary when the man who had| done the deed had got away. The at-| torney asked the witness whether| Capt. Lennen had said there were one o two men hit him. The answer was| that the captain didn't say onme or two. The witness saw the bloodspots on the tableeloth within a very few min- utes of his arrival at the house, and|{ before he saw Mr. Whitney and Lennen talking by thé table. On the point of the arrival Holmes at the house, the witness s he could not tell where Mrs. Boland!{ or Mrs. Boland were in the dining room at that time, The witness said he saw tbe bright red bloodspot on! Holmes' overcoat at the time of first meeting him and he suspected him be- fore this from his looks and his ac- tions. He hated to suspect Holmes. Q—Isn’'t it a fact that vou didn't discover the blood on Mr. Holmes' coat until after he had gone in to see Capt.| Lennen? A—Tt n't a fac On re-direct examination by Attor- | ney Hull, Officer Carroll said _the; bloodspots on the table cloth were fresh that nighi. No weanon that ight have been used in E “asthma” and “cigarettes.” The police officer was on the stand for an hour and a quarter in his di-| rect and cross-examination before he was finally dismissed. ‘So far as any investigation vou| made -in the front of the house thel person who did this might have been! in the parlor the whole evening while you were there. mightn't he?” was Attorney Brown's concluding question. “Yes, he might,” was the answer. Mrs, Boland Recalled, Mrs. Boland was recalled to the! stand and testified that the cellar door from the kitchen was locked that night and so was the parior door. On cross examination hy Attorr J. J.

Lennen's death, Wilcox and Holmes were to get equal shares from Mrs. Lennen's estate. Holmes said the spot on the oyer- coat might be paint, Then Capt. Twomey took the coat into the outer office o examine the spot with a maguifying glass. When the captain came back, he had the flashlight, key and gloves. Holmes said he might have got the blood on the gloves when in Captain Lennen's kilchen. He thought he knelt down and put one hand on Captain Lennen. Continuing his testimony Sergt.| ated what Holmes had said! about his movement on the night of | the ault, corroborating previous testimony en this point by Capt. Two- mey. The sergeant said Folmes gave the! name of a Fitzzerald girl whom | Holmes saw near Pulaski hall. lie al- | so0 mentioned seeing a Mrs. Quinlan on | the car.

Relating what Sergeant Matthews reported —in the presence of Holmes after Matthews had been to the hos- pital to show the note to Capt. Len- nen, Sergeant Kane testified to the other sergeant telling how Capt. len- nen sat up in bed when he was told they took the note from Holmes' over- coat pocket. Sergeant Matthews' ro- port also included, according to Kane, Capt. Lennen's words, “Holmes must be a rascal. lie never Paid one cent on that note.

At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from back- ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom- ach gets sour tongue coated and you feel rheumatic iwinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts, take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few dcys and vour kidneys will then act fine.
