Hunter on Trial, ,

The trial of John Hunter for the mur- der of Angelo Aborn at Crystal Lake, April 9th, opened in the Holland county superior court at Holland Tuesday after noon. The case will probably continue all the week, as some 60 witnesses have been summoned The defense will try to prove that Hunter shot Aborn in self de- fense. Judge Wheeler of Bridgeport pre- sides at this term of court. The prosecu- tion is in charge of State Attorney J. H. Reed, of Stafford Springs, and Charles Phelps, of Rockville. The counsel for the defense are Joseph Barbour of Hart ford, Judge B. H. Bill of Rockville, and James Fitzgerald, Jr., of Stafford Springs.
 The Hunter case did not open until 40 Tuesday afternoon, as Judge Wheeler missed his train in Hartford. The entire afternoon was spent in securing eight jurors out of thirty-s drawn. Each ju- TOT was sharply examined by attorneys for state and defense. These eight jurors were accepted: s. A. Burnham of An dover, Calvin Hutchinson of Bolton, Cur tis Holmes of Columbia, Charles R. Hall of Coventry, Julius Hills of Hebron, Wes- ley Bradway of Stafford, H. B. Booth of Union, Samuel Nichols of Willington. The panel was then exhausted. Sheriff Dickinson was instructed to empanel 22 more jurors to be in court Wednesday at 10 a. m. Hunter occupied seat by the side of his counsel in court. His face showed marks of intense suffering during his confinement in jail. Three sisters and two brothers of the accused from Mo- ravia, N. r., were present in court.
 The court room was crowded Wednes- day. Sheriff Dickinson brought in twen-
