Superior Court-Criminal
 Side-Judge Robinson.
 The trial of Benjamin Sedgwick, the Waterbury tailor who is charged with a violation of the lottery laws of the state in and conducting a number of clothing clubs, was begun. Assistant State Attorney Terry's charge was most form idable one, covering every possible form of offense under the lottery laws. A large num- Der of witnesses testified yesterday, among whom were Clarence Mum, Daniel Pinney, B. H. Reilly, D. B. Williams, Andrew Cooney and others. Late in the afternoon the arguments were made, the claim of the defense being that Sedgwick has not vio- lated the lottery laws, as there is no ele- ment of loss in the clothing club scheme, as each member of the club eventually gets his suit of clothes. The case is still un- finished. There was general outpouring of Waterbury folks from the court house at the close of proceedings late in the after noon.
