 The trial of the quo warranto suit of Phelan vs. Walsh was resumed in this city l yesterday before Judge F. B. Hall. The hearing occupied the larger part of the day and resulted in the prosecution put ting in the whole of their side of the case, after which the court adjourned until next Monday, when the defense will begin their side of the case.
 The first witness examined yesterday was John Galligan of Preston, who was moder- ator in the Second district at the election in 1890. He testified that the declaration of the result of the election for the whole town was made in his district. The vote of the First district was returned to the Second district and they were tabulated together. He was cross-examined at length by Attorney Cole and some queer methods of making up election returns were di- vulged. Finally the attorney brought out from the witness and an examination of the various papers he had that the whole number of votes returned as cast was GA in excess of the number of votes actually cast.
 JB. Hoadley. counter in the Eff teenth ward of this city, then testified in the usual way.
 Chief Clerk Hinman of the secretary of state's office was called. He was ques- tioned in regard to the blank forms which he sent to all the town clerks in the state. He was then asked to produce the dupli- cate of the certificate of the votes cast for tn, various candidates in the towns of Sharon, Cornwall, Avon, Beacon Falls, Somers, Ellington, Preston, Norfolk and Branford. These were produced. but ex- Judge Harrison refused to lay them in as evidence at that time. The blank forms sent to the several town clerks were ad mitted as evidence.
 Secretary R. Jay Walsh, the defendant in the case, was the next witness. He tes- tifed that the blanks were sent out under his authority. Attorney Cole asked the witness if that form was required by law and Mir. Walsh said that he did not think it was. He stated further that he believed the blank was sent out as 8 matter of con- venience rather than in accordance with law. Ex-Judge Hsrri ,on then went into interpretation of section 241 of the stat utes. Judge Hall stated wearily that he could not see of what use the ex- animation could be and the at torney subsided. Judge Harrison then called for the counters from ! the Seventh ward, this city Sheriff Tom. linson said that Daniel M. Sheehan, the Court street plumber, had been duly subpoenaed and could not understand why he was not present. Judge Harrison sent Deputy Sheriff Pond out and told him te
 bring the witness in. MT. Pond returned
