The Court Record.

Superior Coura-IrInltnal a1de.-.suugS
Culver.
This court came in yesterday morning at 10
o'clock.
The case eff State VS.. Henry F. Hall, who
is on trial for perjury, was continued. In
the forenoon Hall was again on the stand
and continued his testimony. He testified to
having a conversation with Loyal Moulthrop
on the 9th of December, relative to trip
which Moulthrop intended taking to Califor-
MIA, to receive his share in the estate Of a de-
ceased brother. The witness denied offer
California. Witness met Moulthrop sever
al times during the month of Jan
uary, 1880. Witness denied having at any
of these times advised Moulthrop to leave the
estate, as well as having offered him money
to go. On the 10th of February Mr.. Hall
heard from Colin Moulthrop that his father
Royal was in Virginia and wanted money.
Colin made out note to Mr.. Allen for $7s,
and Mr. Allen sent the money to Royal Moul-
throp at Millenbeck, Virginia. The minutes
of the trial in Probate Court reporting the
witness testimony were read, and Mr.. Hall
virtually agreed to them all. He, however,
denied the testimony Of Moulthrop with
regard to having met him on the 31st of jan
uary 1881, and all said to have taken place
between them on that day. He afterwards,
early in March, was told by John D. Russell
that Moulthrop had returned from the South
days subsequently witness met Moulthrop
and was upbraided by him for allowing T. S.
Andrew to be appointed trustee over his
estate. He complained of the importantly
and falsity of his advisers, and of the selling
of his New Britain brick yard by tho trustee.
Witness denied advising him to forget the
money that he could not account for, and
also denied conspiring about the Alling es-
tate.
Mr. Case read the document signed by
Loyal Moulthrop and giving Mr.. Hall tho
power OF attorney for Moulthrop. This pa
per was dated April 1882, and was therefore
issued after Moulthrop's second hearing be
fore the Probate Court, in which he charged
Moulthrop with conspiracy. This document
was surprise to most of those who have
ness testified that Moulthrop came to his of
fee of his own accord and asked the lawyer
to act as his attorney and afterwards signed
this paper.
In the afternoon Bradley, the man who
went to Virginia some time ago, was allowed
to testify, notwithstanding objection on the
ground that he bsfagga direct witness for the
State it was oo late to put him on. He said
he drove Moulthrop to Halls house on the
day of his own departure for Virginia. This
was directly contradictory of Halls testi-
mony that he did not know that Moulthrop
had left town until Colin Moulthrop told
him SO, some weeks after. Hall himself
then continued his testimony, and was on
the stand when the court adjourned.
Court adjourned until this morning at 10
O'Clock.
