The de- fense rested at 12:31 o'clock. Alonzo Letendre, one of the propriet- ors of the Lenox house, was called to the witness stand by the prosecution. Mokus had testified that the proprietor of the Lenox house was the one who in- troduced him to Morrissey. Mr. Letendre denied that he had introduced Mokus to Morrissey and denied that he knew him. The state rested at one o'clock and court recessed for an hour. Court reconvened shortly after 2 o'clock the first argument being made by At- torney Thomas E. Troland of New Lon- don in behald of the state. He completed his argument at 2:39 and Attorney Harry M. ghrhich of Springfield, counsel for the accused, then made his argument. Atterney Ehrlich made a strong argu- In his argument Attorney Trqland said that accused is charged’ with two counts, one of theft of the $400 and the other of embezziement of the $400. The claim of the state is that Mokus is guilty of one of these counts. The; state is not interested in any probe of the Springfield police department. I ask you (tne jury) to confine yourselves to | the issues of the case. We are trying | the case of the State of Connecticut | against Mokus, Hamlin testified that he gave the §400 to Mokus in the Wauregan house. That is not denied. ‘What did he receive the $400 for? Mo- kus sought a job. He said he knew liquor men in Springfield and knew where he could sell liquor in Norwich. Hamlin employed him to run down these liquor men. That was why he received the $400. Mokus didn't apply the $400 as directed. No arangements were made with Morrissey. No arrangements were made in Springfield for the delivery of the liquor. No §400 deposit was paid by Mokus. In conducting his argument Attorney Troland said the theory of the state is, that Mokus committed theft. In the course of his arzument Attor- that in ney Ehrlich, for the accused, sail the whole story had mot been told ccurt and that there was something mi: ing, something mysterious. The state's case mus' stand or fall the testi- by mony of Hamlin, as supported by Ire-| land He spoke of what he termed erious phases of the cases and said that County Detective Jackson was the only unbiased and unprejudiced witness the state has produced. Attcrney Ehr lich said that $400 was given Mokus for the purpose of getting Capt. Quilty’s | car with the liquor at Moosup. State Attorney Hull objected saying that there was no evidence that Mokus was to get Captain Quilty's car. Attor- ney Bhrlich referred to the fact that there s no evidence of any stipulated sum which Mokus was to receive for his services. At the conclusion of Attorney Ehr- lich’s argument court recessed for five | minutes and at 3:50 o'clock State At-| torney Hull started the concluding ar- gument. He went over the case in gen- eral, speaking very highly of the in- tegrity of Hamlin and Ireland and after speaking until 4:40 o'clock left the case with the jury. Judge Brown then ad. journed court until 10 o'clock this (Thursday) morning. There was a good | sized audience in the spectatir's seats throughout the day.

Whit- tleser and Dr. James .. Donohue of Norwich workman's compensation | commissioner for the secon ct, | are at variance over the overation of the dog law so far as its quarar:in provisions refer to Norwicu. They have also a difference over the statute it- sclf and Commissioner Whittlesey takes exception to the language which the compensation commissioner us toward the dog warden in Norwich. Mr. Donohue says the law “makes of- fices for a class of men who are only one degree above thugs." The Zoctor suggests that the dog warden of Nor- wich and his assistants should be en- gaged in a more suitable business but “what that business is I.do not know,” he added. Dr Donohue recommends that dogs be muzzled instead of held on a leash. Commissioner Whittlesey received Dr. Donohue's letter Wednesday fore- noon and replied to it at once. In his reply Mr. Whittlesay said that the dog warden in Norwich, Frank L. Tuttle, was appointed by him and that Mr, Tuttle, was performing his Auties to| the cattle commissioners's satisfaction and efficiency. Mr. Whittlesey said he had sent Special Officer Eiliot to Nor- wich to see how the qua-antina order was enforced and the report Mr. | Elliot showed that Mr. Tuttle was do- ing satisfaciny work., Foue yeiss cx- revience hid cvinced Cemimissioner ‘Whittlesey that the muzzling of dogs was not practicable or sufficient to check the spread of rabies and to pro- tect people from mad dogs. Commissioner Whittlesey reminded Dr. Donohue that it was in the inter- est of humanity that the quarantine order should be rigidly enforced and that it was a misguided policy not to co-operate with him in the efforts for the eradication of the disease of ra-| bies. The cattle commissioner told Dr. Donohue that he was considerably dis- appointed to read the letter, written on the official stationery of tae com- pensation commissioner, criticizing a proper officer of the law ana the| — . “cot Horlicks e CRIGINAL Mazlted Milk h “Food - Drink” for Al) Ages.
