Politicians are amazed to-day at the heavy vote cast in yesterday's special election, The total number of ballots voted will reach about 827,000, In the election for Governor two years 275,317 votes were cast, and in the Presidential election in 1912 the total vote was 4 4.

Among the prisoners arraigned be- fore Judgo Rosalsky in General Ses- sions to-day for sentence was a well dressed Englishman who answered to the name of Arthur Edward Thorne, convicted of stealing a $6,000 auto- mobile belonging to Miss Louise Alex- ander Strang, a danoer, living at the Hotel Cumberland, Broadway and Fifty-fourth Street.

Charles 8. Mellen, once president of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad and the principal wit- ness for the Government in the pros- ecution of William Rockefeller, Will- lam Cass Ledyard, Charles M. Pratt 2 | and eight other millionaires powerful in the railroad’s affairs, took the stand before Judge Hunt in the United States District Court at 2.40 this af- ternoon, Either sitting alone or with his lawyer, John H. W, Crim—who ts also counsel for James 8. Hemingway and A. Heaton Robertson—Mr. Mellen had watched the earler proceedings of the day with his heavy-lidded eyes half closed, After his first pleasant exchange of greetings with his former friends and associates who are now in danger of jail and imprisonment ¢rom his testimony, there was no sign on his placid face of any emotion except A polite interest in the court proceed- ings. He settled back heavily into the witness chair when he had been sworn, as though resigned for the ordeal of days of questioning which confronts him. LAWYERS IN CLASH AT OPEN- ING OF TESTIMONY. A hot legal skirmish developed as soon as the Government called Arthur Clark, secretary of the New Haven, one of two witnesses to identify books and papers to lay a foundation for Mr. Melien's story. At the first question asked by Frank M, Swacker of the Government's counsel, which related to matters outside of the three years since 1912, brought Thomas Thacher on his feet fighting. He was following the legal strategy planned out at a mass meeting of counsel for the defence held last evening in the library of the Federal Building. He argued that the Guv- ernment must first of all show the existence of a conspiracy in 1912-1914 before leading up to it or illumina- ting it by side issues. Nothing done outside of the time of the indictment, he thundered, could be used as the basis for the charge. He solemnly invoked the statute of limitations. Judge Hunt gently observed that he thought the Government had the right to show that a combination existed at the beginning of the time the in- dictment covers. John G. Milburn supported Mr. Thacher. John D. Lindsay rose to make suggestions to both of them. It was the first real exhibition of the resources of the $25,000-a-day lewal batteries which are laboring to keep the New Haven group out of jail. “If @ conspiracy was hatched ten or fifteen years ago,” said Judge Hunt in effect, “and ran continuously, the fact that # 16 charged that A only Joined the conspiracy in the last year would not bar the Government from proving the existence of the ocon- spiracy before A joined it.” Judge Hunt ruled for the Govern- ment with the proviso that all pre- liminary evidence be later substan- tiated, ——— LAUREL WINNERS.
