 The fifth day of the trial of the cases against Drs. Lee and Whitten attracted even a larger crowd than usual to the city court yesterday. The proceedings were more than usually interesting, and @ num- Der of witnesses were examined, including Coroner Mix and Medical Examiner White. The testimony of these two witnesses was extremely damaging to both physielanS, but more particularly so to pr. Lees case. The other witnesses called by the state and examined yesterday were Dr. Gustavus Eliot, Guy J. Frost, clerk at the Elliott house, Andrew Wiley, jr., of the firm of John Bright & Co.,, Thomas A. Rogers, night bellboy at the Elliott house, Sing Wau, a Chinese laundryman, Walker Simpson, a brother in-law, and George Schloes, father of the unfortunate victim, and Dr. 0. A. Lindsley.
 Court opened promptly at 10:5O o'clock, and Dr. Gustavus Eliot was called to the stand. He testified that about 6:45 o'clock Monday morning, August 21, he received summons to the Dayton house. Arriv- ing there he was met by Dr. Lee, who re- marked, Doctor, I am afraid 1t is too late." Witness stepped into the room felt of Maggie's wrist and found her pulseless. She was just gasping and died in few minutes The witness also testified that Dr. Lee held up test tube and said, Doctor, that tells the whole story" The test tube, according to the witness opin- ion, contained albumen which had been preoipitated by boiling.
 Dr. Eliot, upon 3 slight investigation, thought that the girl had been suffering from uremio poisoning. The witness said cal examiner, as 1t appeared to be pecul- far casa. To this pr. Lee demurred lit tie, saying that this was the first case he had ever lost ia New Haven, and he felt 8 little bit embarrassed about having his first case the subject for coroner's investfga- tion. The witness again advised Dr. Lee to put himself in the right light by report ing at once to the medical examiner and Dr. Les again set forth his objections. On cross-e1amination by Attorney Asher the witness said that he had known Dr. Lee about two months prior to the ep- isode at the Dayton house. Dr. Lee and and they parted at the corner of Church and Chapel streets and Dr. Lee went to nc- | tify Dr. White.
 Witness remembered that Dr. Lee had 1 also given as one of his reasons for not mo- 1 tifying the medical examiner, that he wished to save the girls family from the disgrace which would naturally follow an investigation.
 1 Witness, on cross examination, remem bered that Dr. Lse had several times eaid that he wanted to do what was right. 1 When asked, supposing the case wer. his, if he would have reported 1t imme diately to the medical examiner, the wit ness hesitated little and MT. Asher in quired:
 "Supposing that at the time you knev all the circumstances of the case as you d. l now from what you have heard and wha you have read in the newspapers, woul, you have reported the case at once to thu medical examineri"
 "My impression is, replied Dr. Eliot "that if all that have read in the newi papers were true, would have taken tn 8:10 train from New Haven on that Mon day morning."
