was no difference between the people who visited Mrs. Vaughan's house and those who visited other homes on the street. After this witness left the stand Dr. Fleischner announced that Dr. Townsend, one of the members of the board would be obliged to leave soon. MT. Goodhart said that he in- tended later to put Mrs. Vaughan on the stand, and preferred to have the full board present when she testided. He thought that he could finish putting in his testimony in one more session, if the remonstrants put on no more testi- mony. Judge Stoddard thought that he might desire to put on more testi- mony. Dr. Fleischner stated that after MT, Goodhart had finished with his tes- itmony the board did not desire to hear any more evidence by witnesses. Judge Stoddard asked if MT. filling was to be shut off from replying to the insinua- tions of the opposition at the previous session. He said that if the board had decided that after Mrs. Vaughan made her statement the remonstrants could not reply he supposed that he must submit, but he thought it seemed odd that such a decision should be made. Dr. Fleischner then said that MT. AL ling would be given an opportunity to be heard, but no other testimony of the remonstrants would be heard.
 John MinniX. a salesman at F. M. Brown X, Co.'S was then called to the stand. He said that he lived at No. cst1 n,tA to May, 1896. He was personally &C., quainted with Mrs. Vaughan, and nev- CT saw any improper conduct on her part or about her house: had gone by Mrs. Vaughans home at all hours up to 12 o'clock at night and saw noth- ing more noticeable there than he would expect to see at any house. He had no objection to her getting li- cense and said that he knew her boys and never saw better behaved boys than they were.
 Philip Cornell of Al Stevens street was the next witness and said that he never saw anything out of the way at Mrs. Vaughan's house. Frank H. Wood ing of Wallingford was called and said he lived at No. 47 Stevens street about year and a half. leaving there about six years ago. He never saw any inde- cent or immoral act at Mrs. Vaughans S and thought that no house on the street was kept looking better than Mrs. Vaughan's; never heard anyone com plain about her house, but the Louds. MT. Goodhart then read three reports by medical examiners and a deputy coroner of their investigations when the bodies of infants had been found in the vicinity of New Haven. These were the reports which Coroner Mix secured at MT. Goodhart's request. Tn each case the report stated that inves- legations had led to the belief on the part of the officials reporting that the death of the infant was not caused by the criminal act of any person, all though one report stated that the child had evidently died from drowning or strangulation.
 Mrs. Bochart, the next witness, said that she was i'll at Mrs. Vaughan's on Prospect Place from October is, to No- vember 21, 1897, her attending physi- clans being Dr. Converse and Dr. Thomson. She said that she was a married woman and had family of children and that her husband and chill dren frequently called to see her dur ing her Illness. She said that she re- ceivd very good treatment, and if she was to have any other ailment that re- quired treatment at such a sanita- rum she would go to Mrs. Vaughan's.
 Clara Bochart, a daughter of Mrs. Bochart, was next called and said that sine visited her mother while she was i'll at Mrs. Vaughan's and that she was well nursed there.
 An adjournment was then taken un- til o'clock tonight, t7
