The State Treasury Contest Delayed nj
New Haven.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 1.-THE state treas
uryship contested election case was called
in the superior court. IL is the case of
Marvin 5. Sanger against n. Stevens
Henry A subpoena had been issued for
Secretary of State Walsh directing him to
bring the official returns to court. He did
not appear, but his chief clerk, r. s. Hin
man, appeared in his stead. lie did not
have the returns, much to the disgust OF
the court and counsel. He took the stand,
and was closely questioned by the counsel
for the plaintiff. He said the returns
were not in the secretary's Office. They
were carried off, he said, Monday after
noon by one of the assistant clerks OF the
house, who demanded them upon the
authority of that body. He asserted that
he tHinman) had not been instructed to
take the returns to New Haven. Counsel
for the plaintiff asked for a capias for the
assistant clerk of the house, aud charged
that his action in taking away the returns
was an attempt TO obstruct the court
He characterized the action OF the clerk
OF the house in taking away the returns as
clever Republican trick. State Attorney
Doolittle, OF counsel for plaintiff, said that
the papers had been stolen, and it was Inn
possible to 90 on with the case until the
official returns could be had. Judge
Thayer said he did not think it advisable
TO pass upon this case until the case OF he
governorship had been passed upon by the

me. Whether Mrs platt has suggested
money TO Waller or his father cannot
say. The governors inference seems plain.
My impression is that she intended to
marry young Waller after her husband
had obtained his divorce, but finding that
this would be impossible, on account OF
the close watch kept by the elder Mr..
Waller on his son, she broke her agree

and notoriety.

He Paid Money Co aIrs- PlRtt's Lawyer,
who Was TO Make No Defense. but the
Woman, After Agreeing 20 Hslp Save
Young Waller, Backed Down.
New YORK. Nov 1.-The correspond
ence Of Ex-Governor Thomas NJ. Waller,
Of Connecticut, promises to play very
important part in the adjustment OF the
domestic wrangle Of Minnie A. Platt and
her husband, Engineer William II. platt,
United States navy. According to the
wife, who is made defendent in an action
for divorce, in which the son OF eK-Gov-
ernor Waller is named as correspondent,
her defense rests almost solely upon letters
which, she says were written by the ex-
governor and his son and are now In her
possession.
Mrs. Platt infers strongly that some one
has broken faith with her, and after agree
ing to shield the name Of the correspondent
from the public was practically instru-
mental in making it known Lawyer
Graves partially substantiates a portion
Of the assurance with the statement that
but for the motion made on Saturday in
Mrs. Platts behalf, young Waller's name
would not have been made public.
Wanted TO Avoid Publicity.
1T is true said Lawyer Graves to a re-
porter last evening, that the utmost sec
recy has been maintained regarding this
case. We desired to avoid all publicity.
Both plaintiff and defendant were OF the
same opinion We succeeded until few
days ago. That was my only object IN ask
ing for a private hearing, and on that oc-
casion | stated my reasons to the presidi z
judge in full
what the Ex-Governor Paid.
In consideration Of this agreement on
the part Of counsel not to force publicity
Governor Waller agreed to pay Mrs.
Platts counsel fee, aud her husband,
through me, agreed to pay her thirty dol.
