There appears to be some prospect that
Springfield's wooden mill at Alfred, which
has oeen closed for the last two years,
may resume operations this spring. Mr..
Springfield recently stated that unless
conditions soon became favorable for the
operation for the mill he should terminate
his lease and move the machinery.

eight years been engaged In the lumber

timouy Of experts and others tending to
show that the handwriting on the Gideon
check was that of Kennedy.
The check for 5000, Mr.. McIntyrs
said, was written by Kennedy, Was en-
dorssd by him and was given by him to
Dolly Reynolds. 1t was given her to
satisfy her demands for the return Of the
money she had loaDsd him. When he
realized that exposure and conviction Ter
forgery awaited him when this fictitious
check became due, he lured the woman
to the hotel for the purpose of recovering
it. The fact that she had tucked {
check away where 1t was found under her
clothing, proved that Kennedy had de-
nAnded 1t from her previously. When she
refused to give it up he took the weapon
from the place where he had concealed 1t
and struck the woman the death blow.
At this point o recess was taken until
8 30 O'Clock.
Judge Williams began his charge II the
Jury shortly after 8 o'clock and occupied
An hour and a half in delivering 1t. He
dealt on the value of circumstantial
evidence and the question of reasonable
doubt. With reference to II motive for
the commission Of the crime, he pointed
out that If the jury could connect Ken
needy with the si3 900 check, which was
found on the body of Dolly Reynolds,
there would then be an important cir
oumstance for consideration. The Ques-
tion of good character, he charged, should
be given the weight IL was entitled to,
but no maudin sentiment or sympathy
should be permitted TO interfere with the
verdict
Almost an hour was taken up In adj
ditlonal charging at the request OF coun-
sci In noting exceptions taken by the de-
Tense
The jury retired at II. 43 p. III.

,orHINo SENSATIONAL YESTERDAY.
Continuation OF the Nancy Guilford
Murder Trial.

Bridgeport, Conn, March S0.-With the
close of today's proceedings In the DIR.
Nancy A. Guilford trial, tho court ad-
journed until Monday at the usual hour.
The trial has now bean In progress eight
days and 1t is believed that one more day
will suffice 10 complete the evidence OF
the state. Today's testimony WAS In no
wise sensational nor were the spectators
so numerous as to crowd the court room.
Considerable time was devoted at the
morning session with testimony tending
to identify the signature OF Mrs. Guilford
as 1t was purpossd to show by the prose-
cution that Dr. Guiltord received money
and kilograms from Oxley. Detective
George Arnold on the oross.exami nation,
today told OF the condition Of the AoomsI
and closets In the Guilford home last
september when lie was searching them
for inoriminating evidence OF his ex.
Q nination Of the bath room and how he
detected there peculiar odor similar to
Oh It of oarboiic aoid; of artiol,s that he
70 and in the furnace and of the finding
Of a saw, which 1t Is thought was the one
used to out up Emma ellis body ir the
bath room. With the presentation Of
d tective Arnold's testimony WAS the fir t
suggestion IN sde by tina state that the
actual murder Oh tnt Slrl was comuitteu
in Nancy Guilford's house.
Undertaken John Cullinan was among
the witnesses today and during his GROSS.
examination he told OF the Identification
of the remains by Frank Perkins of Mid
dleboro, Mass, as those of his daughter
Grace aud also Of sending the boIy to
Middleboro, Mass. under the name OF
GRACE Perkins. The defense heretofore
had been unable to get this evidence ad
mitted and in their opinion IL throws
some doubt ON the positive Identification
of Emma Gill. The state fought
strenuously for the exclusion Of the testi
mony relating to the Perkins ideutitlca'
ton but was unsuccessful.
Another witness this afternoon was
Howard G. Guernsey, "a druggist of
Southington and friend of Harry Oxley
he told of receiving bundle of letters
from Oxley on the day that announce.
ment was made of the finding OF portions
Of the body in Yellow MIL pond and
thinking that they might have some con.
uection with the murder mystery he de-
stroyed them the day Oxley was arrested.
Detective Arnold was the concluding
witness of the afternoon aud he was re-
called for the fifth time since the trial
