its headquarters at Aurora hall, where

the defence to show that his testimony
might be affected by that fact. There was
strong testimony given by Mrs. Williams
about the prisoners intimacy with Trask; :;
how prisoner said she would poison Henry
if he were as cross and ugly as his father
There was testimony about the relations
between Trask and defendant which didn't
carry much weight apparently, after the
cross-examination was ended indeed, there
were few dull moments during the day.
incidentally the case of the man who
died in Sidrey some time ago, from drink
ing poisoned liquor, crept in. Something
was said about deceased getting cider OF
his brother. There was testimony as to the
flushed face of the deceased that SATURDAY
afternoon. 1t is understood that the de-
fence will have something to say about
liquor being on the premises that day.
is al understood that the defence ex-
presses cor rfidence in sweeping away all
tending to show infdelity on the part
of the prisoner. But it is impossible to
cor lecture much as to the line of defence
All along it has dTelt on the idea that
Trask and the deceased continued to be in
innate to the last. Mr.. Nash testified to
that.
1t is noticeable that the defence is try

knew the liquor would kill him, in fact did
say so. This inclines to the belief that it

Mrs Ge,chell about letters.
Mr.. Heath objected to his telling what
Mrs, Getchell said at that time. Though,
It TOO remote in time and not admissible.
The court ordered the jury to retire.
MIR. Carleton said he proposed to show
by this witness that Mrs. Ge,chell said she
she thought he would be dispIeased and to
give the letters to her only. This he did.
The court thought the testimony might
prove of some value in connection with the
governments line of prosecution and ad-
mitted the question.
Q.-What was the conversation?
A.-She asked me to retain her letters
for her. She did not wish to have Henry
get the letters as she was afraid he would
be displeased. did thereafter deliver her
letters to her. Perhaps she had half doz-
en- letters. This conversation was at the
office.

BUTTERFIElD-THOMPSCN TRIAL.
Former Claims That the Latter Stole Away the
Love OF His vile.

PARIS, May 2.--The suit of John B. But
terfield of Boston against James A. Thomp-
son of East Sumner for the alleged aliena-
ton of his wifes affections is assigned for
tomorrow. John B. Butterfield was in the
Boston health department for 20 years. In
1881 he msrried for his second wife, Mrs.
Carrie f. Emery, pretty widow, then at
work in B ston. Two years later Mrs.
Butterfeld went to live on her husbands
farm at North Paris, while ne remained Ii
Boston.
According TO John Butterfeld, when he
was visiting his North Paris home, James
\. Thompson came to his door, poor ano
sick. Butterfield took him in and gave
him light work on the farm. A few uays
ater, Thompson. rs he supposed left the
farm. In fact, however. Thompson stayed
at the farm most of the time for nine years,
alternating Mrs. Butterfield's affections and
using his infden ov,r her, so as to get
mortgages on all of John Butterfe!d's
property.
Ms. But.erfel asserts that her husbar q
hired Thompson himself and WAS glad to
have so faithful man n the farm. She
left her husband because he abrsed her
cl i,drcn, not because of Thompson. The
