The Wallingford Murder Trial.

l Arguments to the Admission of Cer- tain Evidence-The Evidence of P Patrick l McKenna as to Statements Made by Car roll Before the Coroner's Jury.
 l The trial of Francis Carroll, charged with the murder of Michael Early in Wallingford last October, proceeded in the Superior Court room yesterday before Judge Hitchcock and l jury.
 | Constable R. s Austin, of Wallingford, in the morning told about going to Carroll's house after the shirt alleged to have been worn by the accused, and, as Mr. Doolittle expressed it, ''stained with his victims bloodn Mir. Case l objected to the witness telling what he did in | the house in Carroll's absence, but the objec- l tion was overruled. An exception was taken. 1 In addition to the shirt, other articles of clothing were taken and turned over to ex- l Deputy Sheriff Morgan. The Monday after the homicide the witness took from Carroll knife. Subsequently Carroll said the knife belonged to his son Willie and that the lad had recently used it to cut off 8 chickens head
 | Dr. Leonard J. Sanford, of this city, gave testimony relating to the microscopic exam ination he made of the shirt alleged to be ! 5. also on a comb which it is claimed Carroll used. Patrick Gallagher was another wit | ness and then came Justice McKenna, of l Wallingford, who was called to tell what Carroll had testified before the jury of in- quest. When the blood stained shirt was shown Carroll at the inquest he admitted lit was his MT. Case argued ably for an hour against the justice testifying to this before the jury yesterday forenoon. He held that at the inquest Carroll might from agi | tation of mind, hope of advantage or fear of injury state things that were not true. Many legal authorities were quoted in | support of the claim that involuntary con- | fessions should be excluded ill such case. l After the noon recess MT. Doollttle replied and opposed at length and with much force the objections made by one of 1 Carrolls attorneys, MT. Case, to the admis- l sion of the testimony of Justice McKenna re- 1 lating to statements made by Carroll before the jury of inquest in Wallingford. Many | authorities were read in support of Mir. Doo- little's claim that man suspected of a crime who testifes before a coroner's jury can | have brought against him subsequently, the l statements he made before said corener's | jury. MT. Doolittle spoke three quarters of an hour. Mir. Case in reply disclaimed the insinuation that he was not making his ob- jection in good faith, and said with much l impressiveness that when he was engaged to
 
 'I shall put my hand on any weapon that can find III the armory of the law" MT. Case spoke three-quarters of an hour.
 On the conclusion of MT. Cases argument and brief reply by MT. Doolittle, the court ruled that the evidence should be admitted and the witness proceeded to give his testi- mony as to the statement made by Carroll. The last witness in the afternoon was Thomas Luby, who testified that Carroll and Early came into his store on the day of the homicide and asked for something to drink He said that neither of them appeared to be drunk. Later he saw Carroll passing dawn l the street.
 At 5:1O court adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock.
