vs. Kinney,'' is likely to be long one. The hearing was resumed on Monday of this week, and continued also through the following day, when adjournment was made until Saturday, Feb. 18th. The Mansfield box will then be brought in. The Stafford 1st district box will not be brought before the committee, as at first intended, the moderator, Mr. Champlin, having sworn that the sealing of the box was not done until the day following the election, a fact that has been generally known in Stafford. The testimony given has been interesting peculiarly so in spots. Here is an incident copied from the Times report:
 Samuel Rockwell, of Stafford testified that D. H. Knowlton came to Stafford three years ago to live with his father, who was feeble, and had been there since. He was sepal ated from his wife. Wit ness believed that he voted the republican ticket; he was an anti-C Cleveland man. By Judge Eggleston: "Did you come in here, sir, to sustain the right of the re- publican to vote ?''
 "No, sir. I came in here to get my teeth filed" Laughter.
 You are an old-time democrat, SUD- poser"
 "Well, if I am, supported MT. Corbin for senator against Mir. Marcy" ''Glad of it, you ought to be..'
 "Pm darned sorry for it." (Roars oi laughter Here is bit from the Courant's report Counsel and committee had pleased and expectant look when Merrick Marcy was called. Telling at first what he knew about the so-called unsealed envelope, he said that it adhered on one side when he l first saw it. Then MT. Marcy told what he knew about William Iceland Where does William Iceland live now?" said MT. Hyde.
 "In Union, I suppose" said MT. Marcy 1 Senator Keeney laughed out loud. This MT. Iceland moved to Union or May 2, said MT. Marcy. He knew it was that date, because it was on the last Sat urday before the time for beginning six months residence. He carried a large satchel with him. MT. Marcy showed hin room in his (Mr. Marcy's) house, anc said he could call it his own. Then MT Iceland staid until some time the follow ing Monday, perhaps forty hours in all l He did not appear again in Union unti the latter part of August or the first O. September, when he spent another Sun day there. His next and last appearance was when voters were being made il Union. MT. Marcy didn't know where Iceland had been since The man, how ever, still remained in MT. Marcy's em ploy as he had been for ten years at least
 Was Leeland's removal to Union al your suggestion ?' said Judge Stoddard. "I suppose it was.'
 "You wanted another voter in Union was not that p
 MT. Marcy practically assented. | "Did you suggest that Iceland take { satchel along with some things in it, st as to gain residence in Union?" ] It was agreed between counsel and wit ness that such might have been'' thu case.
 "Mr. Marcy knows how to gain resi- dence," said Frank E. Hyde.
 "The event will prove," quietly replied Judge Stoddard.
 | William s. Iceland, being duly sworn declared that he had ''resided" in Uniol since May 7, 1892, and that his place o employment was in Wethersfield. H. told MT. Hyde about his past and presen boarding places. He had recently beel | taxing ms meals aC the MorrOpOllGan 1O l tel.
 "Where is the Metropolitan Hotel il Union?" innocently asked Judge Stod dard.
 Iceland said that he went to Uniol at the invitation of Mir. Marcy Why ha, he gone to Union? Possibly becaus he might become permanent resident f apossibly" because he thought he migh buy some land there; possibly" becaus he wanted to have some other votin, place than the residence of his wife, iron whom he had been separated severa I years. The last half hour of the2 after noon session was spent in 8 seafchini cross-e examination by Judge Eggleston a to what underclothing Iceland took owe to Union, what changes he made in hi underclothing in Union, what he tool back and wore back with him, and what in general, were MT. Leeland's habits a to the wearing of underclothing. In pow 1 CTS of evasion Mir. Iceland showed him self master. It finally came out that MT Iceland hadbeen in the habit of dispens ing with certain piece of underclothin, for a long time. He had, however brought oiIe of these pieces of underwea out to Union with him.
 Why did you bring that out with you ]? said Judge Eggleston.
 Il thought it might be a colder climat' in Union!''
 l Iceland said he had not been in Uniol since election.
