ed myself. / had two revolvers, one
was a Smith IL We-son and the ,ther
OF Brit sh make.
The witness said Mullens had
made no other statement to him. He
did not tell him why Hughs was with
him.
Steele, for the defense, endeavOred
TO make the witness alter his state
ment as to the powder burn on the
back of the shirt, but he declared it
was powder burned when he examin-
ed it.
ISAAC n. SMITH
was next called. He was farmer,
resided northeast of Hughesville,
knew defendant Mullens; have known
him about one year and half /; reside
within about three quarters OF mile
of his place /; knew deceased; he was
colored man about 80 years CT age.
He then testified to the finding of the
body, his acting as juror and the
nature of the wounds found, his testi-
mony being similar to that already
given. Also that he found on the de-
ceased only a small pillow pin about
three inches long and no weapons Of
any kim. He seen no club near the
body. There was a club at the in
quest. A deputy constable was sent
for it. Did not know who sent him
for it. Think Hughes said deceased
had club and that he had picked it
up and carried it over near the
gate. 1t did not lcok reasonable to
him that a man wounded as the de-
ceased was could run very far.
The shot in the neck had broken
the neck bone.
On cross-examinatiOn the witness
said have not spoken to defendant
for about a year. l have nothing to
say against him, 1 am not an enemy
of deceased; could not say was his
friend We have no dealings. l may
have met him two or three times in
the past year l do not speak to him
because he does not speak to me.
A very long crOss-examinatiOn fol-
lowed the object of which was to
make the witness admit that he had
told the deceased's wife to swear that
her husband had told her that he had
heard Mullens and Hughes plot
to kill him as soon as the oats a: d
corn were laid by. The prosecution
entered an objection when Mr.. Steele
made a fierce speech and stated that he
intended to produce proof that Smith
had done so. The objection having
been overruled the defense asked:
did you not tell Mrs. Thatcher at
your house Wednesday night that it
was important for her to testify that
your husband had ever heard
the defendant say that after
the oats were cut and the corn laid by
they would fix or kill the scoun-
drel ?"
Witness. "No, sir, said nothing
TO that effect"
Steele Ibid you not tell her that
it was important or necessary for her
TO testify in regard to another CONVEX
sation her husband had with the de-
PENDANT or Mr.. Hughes out at the ma
chine?"
Witne:s-'I don't what you are
talki g about. / don't know any
thing about a machine. No, sir, l !
did not tell her any such thing"
Redirect by Lamm-"Yes, sir, Mr.. |

nesday evening. Mr.. Thatcher stopped
there on the way from the funeral

THE INSURANCE BUILDING.
An Application by the Receiver ft
 Rarrrai

An Application by the Receiver for Permission Sell It.
 On application of Talcott H. Russell, re- ceiver for the American Mutual and other in surance companies of which B. Moves was
 president, Judge Stoddard has assigned June 30 as the day upon which the application to sell the Insurance building may be heard
 The receiver has had permission to sell the building at auction provided he could get S75, 900 for it, but bidders at those figures did not appear. In his application the re- ceiver after explaining his efforts to sell the property in the past says "that one difficulty seems to be that there are few individuals with means enough to purchase the property who are willing to assume the personal obli- gations incident to an assessment of the lease. That our joint stock corporation law does not allow the formation of such corpor- ations to engage in the business of buying and selling real estate, nor have there been many, if any, charter ed corporations with such pow CTS. That for the reasons aforesaid your ap- plicant asked the last General Assembly to grant charter for a corporation empowered to buy, hold and deal in real estate and leas- ed property In this country, and such char
 ter was granted to your applicant, individ- ually, and others, by the name of the New Haven Investment company, with a capital of not less than $50, 900. That such charter has been accepted by the oorporators, and the stock is now open to public sub scription, and that subscriptions have been made by your applicant individual ly, by Simeon E. Baldwin, attorney of the plaintiff in said above entitled cause, and also representing sundry holders of policies against the defendant companies and others; and he hopes that the necessary $50, ,000 that your applicant sees no other practicable and speedy way of disposing of said build ing than at auction and without any upset price, and by allowing said chartered corpora tion, the New Haven Investment company; but desires to submit the whole matter to the court for it's consideration and determin- ation upon such notice or hearing as it may deem proper"

EAST ROCK PARK.

The Bridge over Min River Near the
 Park-The Steep Descent on the Old
 Road Not on English Drive.
 Yesterday forenoon Park Commissioner Farnam and City Engineer Hill talked over the subject of the bridge to be built over Mill river near the upper end of the Park. A tasteful iron bridge will probably be decided upon.
 The steep place in the road at East Rock Park was enormously credited to English drive recently. It is not part of English drive, all of which splendid drive is of easy grade and has not steep place in it. The steep place where several accidents fortu- nately slight occurred is on the old road not far from the Bishop gate or State street entrance to the Park. This road was built when the subject of having East Rock Park was first seriously contemplated and was bnilt as an experiment Cor to break the ice' on the Park subject. It connects with Eng fish drive near English bridge The Park commissioners, it is believed, intend soon tc alter this road so that the steep part will be no more. This will be done by lengthenine the old road so that the descent will be grad ual for it's whole length.
