The Prisoner takes the stand aud Tells "A
Detailed Story Of the shooting.
Nrw LoSpoN. Conn Sent 81

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. 24.
The trial of Frank n. Conant for the muir
der of Alfred Mcclellan, in Norwich, Feby
10, was resumed today. The forenoon was
occupied by testimony showing great change
in Conant for the seven months preceding the
tragedy, or from the time his brother told
him of his wife's infdeity. Witnesses testi-
fed to McClellan's visiting Conants house in
the latter's absence.
In the afternoon Conant took the stand and
told the detailed story Of the affair His
family relations were most pleasant until
August, 1888. when his brother jerome told
him McClellant was criminally intimate with
Mrs. Conant. He was bitterly stung by the
revelation made by his brother and went
home he took the family bible to his wife aud
said, Emily, place your hand on the bible
and swear you will tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, so help your
God. Swear you have been true wife to
me-" ~ can't do that" she replied. Alfred
Mcclellan has seduced me four times while
we lived on Elm street. His wife then de-
tailed the circumstances of the seduction
Conant then read confession with tremulous
voice and tragic air and made noticeable
impression on his hearers. Continuing, he
said, his wife declared she was unable to
resist Mcclellan and the latter had used force
in seduclng her. On Thanksgiving night
Conant, on his knees, being much disturbed
mentally, begged his wife to say her confes
sion was false, but she said she could not
Twice Conant attempted to kill himself but
was prevented by his wife, who to get possess
ion of the razor and revolver, told him her
confession was false but afterwards reiterated
her confession. Conant invited Mcclellan
to ride that Sunday with the idea of bringing
him to his (Conant's) house, where he pro-
posed to confront him with his wife with the
charge of seduction. When they reached
Conants house Mrs. Conant had not returned
from church, and to kill him Conant invited
Mcclellan to the barn to see the colt. While
in the barn Conant became so overcome with
emotion that he could not restrain himself
lie said to McClellun Cd d--n you, Me-
Clellan, you seduced my wife. Mcclellan
seized wheel spoke and rushed upon Conant
when the latter drew revolver and fired.
The weapon went off a second time and Me-
Clellan screamed and turned toward the door.
Adjourned until Thursday.
