of the death of Emma Gill, by a crimi
nal operation. as well as the dis men,
berment of the body, is having the
meshes frightened according to the pro-
secution, as the several witnesses they
present are examined, but with the
testimony adduced by the defence in
the cross examination the status of the
case would seem to be controVertlole
from evidence presented in Harry On
leys testimony. today, supplementary
to what he testified to in the direct
examination, yesterday.
He told in the direct examination of
his connection with the case, which,
according to the attorney for the de-
fence. would under the laws of the
State, make him equally guilty with
the person who committed the opera
ton which resulted fatally.
His cross examination, which was
finished, this morning. was verv brief
corroborating his direct testimony, yes
terday. of the consultations and ap-
pointments made with a physician in
New Haven and also one in Water
bury, and of Miss Gilrs visit to the
latter doctor. His story as told in de-
tail on the direct examination, yester-
day, relative to his intimate relations
with Miss Gill and the efforts made by
him to arrange for treatment for her
so that their relations would not be
known, was not productive of any new
facts in the cross-eXamination, which
concluded. this morning.
The principal evidence. today, was
offered with the intent of connecting
the sections of the dead body found in
the Yellow Mill pond with Nancy Gull
ford's house and in that connection the
laundry mark GIL" which first
caused Mrs. Guilford to be suspected.
was introduced. Detective Arnold tes-
titled to the identification of various
articles which he found while search
ing the house of DR.. Guilford, at 81 Gill;
bert street last September III.
One of the dramatic situations of the
days proceedings was the recalling Of
the father of the victim, Henry Gill
TO the stand. 1t was for the purpose of
identifying some letters. James Pratt
of Southington, at whose home Emma
Gill was employed as domestic, and
Walter c. Foster of Hartford. whom
Emma Gill was engaged to marry and
who was first arrested and charged
with the crime were among the wit
nesses this afternoon.
A handwriting expert of New York
was the concluding witness called, this
afternoon. He was supposed to testify
for the defence, but court adjourned
before he was put on the stand. Mrs.
Guilford showed more interest in the
proceedings of the past two days than
she has manifested since the trial
opened. This morning, she came into
court unattended by her nurse.
Commodore Charles r. Morris testi-
fled that there was a difference of %
minutes in the schedules of the tides
at the Seaview avenue bridge near
where the victims body was found
and those in the outer harbor and
sound and that at low tide near the
bridge the mud flats are exposed.
The apparent purpose of this testimony
was to discredt the evidence offered
by the defence to prove that owing to
the tide movements the portions of the
body of the dead girl could not have
been thrown from the bridge by DR..
Guilford or any one else.
Harry Oxly was recalled, and Attor-
ney Klein continued his cross-eXami-
nation. Oxly said that Emma Gill
spent four days at Waterbury, and that
during her sojourn there she styed at
the Exchange Hotel. When in New
Haven she stopped at the Globe Ho-
tel The girl did not go with Oxley to
the Office Of DIR. Thompson in New Ha-
ven.
The young man denied vigorously
that he had arranged with Dr. Thomp-
son to perform the operation. Refer
tI,a all
the affair Of DR.. Callahan Of Water
bury, Oxley was induced to say that
he had paid to that physician money
in one payment. The amount was not
named or inquired about.
Very little that was new was brought
out on the redirect examination.

Klien attempted to show that Oxley
had used dates in his testimony re-
yardng his visits to Bridgeport that
had been furnished him by the state
