GIVEN TO THE JURY.
Ions ALEACCIDENT CASE CLOSED
IN SUPREME COURTTHIS MORNING.
Arguments ofthe Counsel on Both Sides
h Jury still Considering Its Verdict
Behind Closed Doors.

The closing arguments in the Lonsdale
case were heard today before Judge Til
linghast. Mr.. Vincent occupied but a
few moments in completing his arRu
meut. He laid stress on the point
that it is the duty of the
plaintiff to show that she was
not aware that the sleigh was ap-
preaching the fatal crossing. 1t is not
the duty of the road to prove this fact.
Tue natural inference is hat Mary Ham
ilton knew the proximity of the tracks,
inasmuch as the other occupants OF the
sleigh were -aware of ! and il she did
not it is the duty OF the complainant to
prove it.
The buildings and embankment about
which the plaintiff has made SO much are
not, according to the arguments of the
defense, sufficient obstruction to vision
to prevent n PERSON crossing the
track from seeing an approaching train
at a reasonable distance. IL was the
duty OF the driver, plain and simple, to
stop n make sure that the crossing
was clear before procet ding. This, ac-
cording TO the testimony of all witnesses,
was not done.
Mr.. Cooke made a long argument for
the plaintiff. 1t was impossible for the
occupants OF the sleigh TO see the train.
he avcrred, owing TO the building aud
$3.50 ohoth a Oh thG Il
side OF the crossing. He insisted.
backed by the evidence of his own
witnesses nat the whistle was not
blown and the bell was not rung. This
the defense denies in toto. The bell
was n of the recently adopt
ed automatic devices, rung by
steam. Mr.. Cooke bitterly attacked
the testimony OF the railroads witnesses,
most Of whom are employees of the cor
poration. These men, he said. testified
In behalf of their bread aud butter, or,
in plain words, intimated perjury. His
own witnesses told the truth. the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
The crossing. continu d MIR. Cooke,
sno Id DO guarded day and night. II
WAS a constant menac, to public
safety, and should not be left
unguarded for an hour. The town
councils orders contemplated this
and should have BEEN carried out.
The map of the Lonsdale Cross
ing furnished by the railroad
company was doctored for the OCCASION,
in the opinion of Mr.. Cooke. 1t was not
anticip ted that the jury would take a
view "a they yes erlay did.
The jury Is still Tut.

At q meeting of the New Haven Medical

ing minute was adopted:
"We, the members Of the New Haven Medical
association, having learned of the recent death
OF DR.. Timothy Beers Townsend, for many years
an active and Influential member of this body,
desire to record our respect and esteem for one
whose high character, personal worth and pro-
fessional abilities entitled him to rank among
the best In our profession.
"Dr. Townsend achieved q distinction a
practitioner, especially in surgery, which
thusiastc student, an excellent anatomist,
Trustworthy diagnostician and q prudent and
conservative operator, combined with aexterity
In the use of instruments, in which he had no
equal 1er precision and easy rapidity OF action,
ed and successful surgeons of his day.
But IN the very zenith Of promise OF useful
and brilliant future, his professional career about
twenty years ago, was cut short by broken health,
since which a lingering and painful illness has
been endured by him with heroic fortitude and
CDR. Tewnsend's cheerful and genial disposi-
ton, his happy temperament, the instincts and
training OF gentleman, and his high sense or
professional honor and integrity, have won for
him not only the respect of all, but also many
warm and loving friends, who will cherish his
memory.

the deceased, with an expression OF the sympathy

Seventh Annual Benefit on Wednes-
day Evening.
New Haven lodge, No. rs, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, will hold
their seventh annual benefit at the Hy-
perion theater Wednesday evening. The
attraction will be Brother James O'Neil in
his new "Monte Cristo." The object and
purposes of the lodge in holding this
benefit is to obtain funds to purchase an
ssElks' Rest" in the. cemetefy. The excel
lence of Mr.. O'Neil in the duel role of
Edmond Dantes and the Count of Monte
Cristo is so well known to the theater
goers of New Haven that it needs scarcely
q comment here. He is forcsful without
ranting, and effsoting without being silly.
His acting is strong, polished and sym
pathetic. A dignifsd and graceful stage
presence lends additional charm to Mr..
O'Neil's acting. Tickets are on sale at the
box Office and by the members of the lodge.
