The much adjourned case of ex-Senator Yale of Walliugford vs. the Simpson, Hall, Miller company was continued before ex- Governor Harrison as a committee of the Superior court yesterday. One great cause of the delay in the trial of the case was ow ing to the fact that the defense has had Charles E. Wilson of Hartford, one of the most expert bookkeepers in the country, ex- aminiug the accounts. He gave the result of his work to the committee yesterday. The examination covered period of time from 1879 to 1885, during which time MT. Yale had the control of the New York branch of the concerns business. The defense claim
 that the annual reports presented by the senator to the company relative to the busi- ness in New York always showed that the metropolitan branch was prospering to great extent under the Yale management, while as matter of fact the concern was sinking money and reports returned were false and misleading. Mir Wilson went over the cash book of the concern kept in New York, making comparisons with the annual reports handed in. When the matter is all simmered down it shows these facts and unless dis proved sustains the claim of the defense in every particular. MT. Wilson testiies that the reported profits shown by the annual reports ot Messrs. c. B. and c. 5. Yale for 1879 were $ll, 4799, for 1880 $12, ,675. 53, for 1881 $1O, ,653 Al, for 1882 SIC, ,592. 94, for 1883 $96 615. .82, for 1884 $11,- 6O9 31, for 1885 $934. 61, making total of SGT, ,4S9. 51 and that at the same time the New York books from which the reports were made up show that in 1879 the losses were Sl4, IOI.oI; ln 1OoO, SS,SIo.5S; III I0o1, S1U,- 130 69; in 1882, S15, ,062. 30; in 1883, $15,- 100 27; in 1884, $12, ,217. g; in 1885, $718.41; making the total of losses $76, ,293.
