DR. WRITTEN ON THE STAND
TESTIFLED FOR THE DEFENSE IN
 THE LEE MURDER TRIAL.

NO Operation Was Performed at His office
 --Maggle Schloss' Condition Was Precari.
 ous When She Came to His Ofice-Testi'
 mony Strongly in Favor of Lee.
 The trial of Dr. J. Edward Lee charged with the murder of Maggie Schloss of Ansonia by criminal mal- practice was resumed in the superior court, criminal side, yesterday before Judge Ralph Wheeler and a jury. The cross examination of Dr. Lee occupied the entire session up to o'clock yester- day afternoon, when Dr. George E. Whitten was called to the stand as a witness for the defense. The learned counsel for the state rigidly cross eX- amined Dr. Lee, but did not succeed in materially shaking his direct exam ination.
 Shortly after o'clock Dr. Whitten was called to the stand and told his story of the case. His testimony was strongly corroborative of the evidence given by Dr. Lee in his direct exam ination. Dr. Whitten testified that he had made digital examination of the SSAA NAtCA pllS OdlhG LO LIB OlAASS oAAn that the girl was at that time suffering from criminal abortion. Dr. Whitten's testimony was strongly in favor of the accused. He testified that when he re- turned to his office on the night of August 16, 1893, he found Cash, Wolfe and Maggie Schloss there with Dr. Lee.
 Continuing he said; q did not know that they had come together on the same case and so I called Cash out into another room and asked him what he wished. He told me that Miss Schloss was in trouble and requested me to relieve her, to which I replied that would not do such thing for all the money in New Haven. He, Cash, seemed very much disturbed and asked me if thought the other doctor in the room, Dr. Lee, would not do something for Miss Schloss. Cash also said that the girl was even then very sick, that she had taken pills and jumped as much as possible to save herself from disgrace. He described her symptoms which indicated that the girl was abort ing and this I subsequently, ascertained was the case. The girls pulse was over 120, her temperature was 1031s and she was suffering from blood poisoning from some putrid matter.
 ''Dr. Lee and after we had discovered these facts recommended that the girl be taken back to her home in Ansonia, but Cash said the carriage ride would be too much for her and took her to the Elliott house. There was no oper- ation performed at my office. The girl was in too precartous condition to allow of any relief just then"
 This was the gist of the direct ex- animation and at 4:3O o'clock the cross examination was begun by Judge Bly, denburgh. But little progress had been made, however, when court adjourned until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock The reason that no session of the court will be held to-day Is that the mother of Juror Ford of Waterbury is dead and will be buried to-day and an op- portuntty was thus given to him to attend the funeral.

WILLTlLANTIO'S BdNK TRO UBIES.


 Still Much Excitement--The Affairs of the
 Bank Being Investigated--The Dime
 Savings Bank and Its Funds Believed to
 be All Right.
 Willimantic, April 2S.-The excitement
 in this city over the examination of
 the affairs of the First National bank in this city continued to-day. The an nouncement of the closing of the bank
 by the bank examiner pending an in
 yestigation has brought to the city to- day many farmers from the surround ing towns, who have endeavored to draw their deposits from the bank. The uneasiness among the business men in this city regarding the troubles of the bank is increasing, and it is feared that the troubles of the First National bank may precipitate several of the business men of the city into serious difficulties. The bank held the deposits of the principal merchants in the city, and in consequence of the ac- tton of Bank Examiner Dooley in clos ing the bank those business men whose funds are tied up in it find themselves crippled seriously. The examination of the banks books has been in progress all day, being conducted by the Bank examiner and Cashier Cu1verhouse. The latter official said to Connecticut As sociated Press reporter tonight that no definite statement regarding the condi- tion of affairs could be given out. In the investigation it has been found that the accounts of the late Cashier Risley, which were under his own direct con- trol, were badly mixed Rp and it will take several days to straighten them out. President Walden of the Dime Saving bank could offer no information the banks affairs tonight He said that there was no occasion for alarm among the depositors of the bank with which he was connected. The bank, he explained, was compelled to payment because of the panic, and the action was taken by the Dime bank as a measure to save the other depositors.
 President Walden said that as soon as the bank examiner could complete his examination of the First National banks accounts that the Dime Savings bank would resume business.
 The Dime Savings bank to-day issued an order to it's depositors announcing that no money would be paid out to any of It's depositors until sixty days.
 MT. Dooley was seen tonight at the Hooker house, but he refused to talk regarding his investigation. He said that he would probably finish his exam | nation in two or three weeks, when he would inform the comptroller of the | currency of the result.
 Considerable comment has been oc- casioned in this city in the delay of l the government officials in discovering | the condition of the First Nationals af- | fairs. The fact that the Merchants | Loan and Trust company, which was he old Risley and Preston organization, | held 500 shares of the stock of the First | National bank, is a matter which it is thought needed an investigation be- fore this. The organization has been 1efunct some time.
 Congressman E. Stevens Henry. who | Is one of the directors of the First Ma ,ional bank, said tonight heicould give 10 statement regarding the amount lost oy the bank through the late cashier.

BERMUDA GRASS.

1t may be of interest to you and a
bene fit to some of your suits sribers to
know of a simple way to eradicate Ber
muda grass (Cynodon dactylon, which
we incidentally found outIlast summer.
We had a piece of land, three acres in
area, which for eight years had been
covered with a tough Bermuda grass
sod, writes A. R. Bellwood, Chester
field county, Va, in the Southern
Planter.
Being near the stable, we decided to
SOW it with corn, to cut green in mid
summer for the cattle when the pas
lures begin to get short. We plowed
in April, and every foot of the furrow
the plow had to tear and rip it's way
through the strong, wiry roote. We
sowed the corn quite thickly. 1t came
up we'll and so did the BERMUDA grass,
seemingly determined to hold the fort
against it's new enemy. When the
corn was about four or five feet high,
we began to think the wire grass would
have hard time of il, but it did it's best
and sent long though rather delicate
stems straight up towards the light.
We began to cut the corn as ION as it
tasseled out, and were about two weeks
feeding it. As soon as the Bermuda
grass found the shade was gone, it
s5arted d to recover its lost ground. On
the day we finished cutting we plowed
it again and sowed it in corn as before.
We thought no more of the grass and
cut the corn to save it from frost when
four feet high.
This spring we plowed the same
piece, and to our surprise found that
there was hardly spear of Bermuda
grass left.

CLOVER FOR POULTRY.

Glover is most valuable for poultry.
A writer in the american Poultry Ad-
Uocate says that poultry likes clover
better than all other grasses or vege
tables, and he is right. He reminds us
that it contains elements for growth of
bone, feathers and mus lie in young
stock, and production of eggs with
hens. For poultry that is moulting it
is most excellent; inducing them to
moult early and to go through their
mouIt vigorous and strong. It is an
established fact that poultry need green
food at times, especially in summer.
Clover grown second crop should be
cut, when just in bloom, or just before
this time when there is profusion of
tender green leaves and the stalks have
not become woody. In curing the
clover a great deal Of care and atten-
tion should be given. 1t should not be
spread out in the hot sun too long, but
dried so the leaves shrink up some, but
not dried enough so they will crumble
and fall off In handling, the clover
should be put in a pile or cocks and left
to go through curing orsweating pro-
cess. These piles should be opened a
little every day and the whole pile
lightened up and turned completely
over, to get the bottom hay which
gathers misture from the ground up,
where the air can circulate through it..
The piles or cocks should be covered at
night and during any shower, with a
hay cap. After the piles have been up
a day or two and have been cured some,
the caps should be kept on all the time.

POULTRY YARD
POULTRY POINTS.

The duck likes clean bed and ought
to have it.
The flock should be kept tame, which
can be assured by gentleness when
among the fowls.
Whitewashing the poultry house in
side and out, is not only a precaution
against vermin, but adds to the ap-
pearance.
While there is such an immense con-
sumption of eggs, 1T is worth while for
the farmer to think sbout helping sup
ply the demand.
Whatever may be thought of the re-
cent praises of the suDf over as a farm
crop, sunfOwer seed is a capital feed
for poultry, and is worth growing for
that purpose.
John Bauscher, the poultryman of
Freeport, ILL.,, says: After years of
experience and careful study we find
that the following recipe for making
egg food is the very best we have ever
used. For growing chicks, moulting
and laying fowls, the food provides
material for making bone, mus Gle,
feathers and eggs. 1t strengthens the
digestive organs and lays the founda-
tion for vigorous, healthy fowls: Sui
phur, one pound; sulphate of iron, one
and one-half pounds; capsicum, one
and one half pounds; fne salt, one half
pound powdered charcoal, two pounds;
ground ginger, one-halt pound; fine
ground oyster shell, 30 pounds; fine
ground raw bone, 25 pounds. Direc
tions: Mix teaspoonful to every two
quarts of meal for chicks; for fowls, a
teaspoonful to four quarts of meal.

PRUNING TOMATOES.

In his book on tomato culture A. I.
Root says: Pruning should begin when
the suckers get to be one inch loE g.
This often occurs when they are still in
the cold frames. When they are set in
the field they will sucker very fast;
when the suckering or pruning should
not be neglected, as it makes the plants
throw off their first blooms. There are
three or four methods of pruning.
Some leave the main stalk and one
sucker; some leave the main stalk and
two suckers, and some prefer to prune
to single stalk until just below the
first or second cluster, where it is sure
to fork, then leave the fork or two
stems. If pruning is to be practiced at
all, it is best to make up your mind to
do it and to take everything but the
main stalk under all circumstances.
Prune until you have fruit enough and
top; if you are after early fruit and a
good heavy crop, five clusters are
enough; if you are after a big crop
from medium early to rather late, don't
prune at all, as unpruned tomatoes will
outyield pruned tomatoes; but where
earliness counts for much, always
prune.

W. J. SNIPEs

New milch COWS when on good pas
ture in June need to be MIXED three
times day. If the attempt is made to
divide evenly with 10 hours between
milkIngs it makes the morning milking
much too late. If the milking is done
then, at noon and 8p. M, there will
be daylight for each operation during
the month of June. Milking three
times day gives the COW less time to
absorb milk fats, and the milk will be
richer than if MIXED less fire. quently.
1t will need extra feeding for COWS so
MIXED TO prevent them from losing
fl .sb.

THE DUCK AND THE HEN.

The question is repeatedly asked,
(which is the more profitable, the duck
or the hen3" in order to decide this
matter, an enterprising poultryman, P.
III Jacobs, HammOnton, N J made a
test. The result is reported as follows
At week old the duckling weighed
four ounces, while the chick only
reached two ounces At two weeks
old the duckling reached nine ounces,
and the chick got up to four ounces.
At three weeks, duckling one pound
chick, six and quarter ounces. At
four weeks, dUckling, one pound and
nine ounces; chick, ten ounces. At five
weeks, duckling, two pounds and two
ounces; chick, fourteen ounces. At
six weeks old, duckling, two pounds
and eleven ounces; chick, one pound
and two and half ounces. At seven
weeks old, duckling, three pounds and
five ounces; chick, one pound and
seven and a half ounces. At eight
weeks old, duckling, four pounds;
chick, one pound and seven ounces. At
nine weeks old, duckling, four pounds
and eight ounces; chick, two pounds
So it can be seen that in the same
time the weight of the chick was
doubled by that of the duck. The
prices for dressed carcasses run very
clcse to each other, so that the increased
price per pound makes the profits on
the duck greater, although it takes
about twice the amount of food to
grow them. The Poultry Keeper.
