Japanese cruisers turned and fed. The
admiral signaled the Bayan to return.

MARSH AWAITS vANDEMARK DE
 CTSION

The June term of the criminal superi- or court will come in at Waterbury next Tuesday morning. The case against David c. Marsh, charged with perjury, will probably be tried. Marsh is in New Haven county jail under bonds of $2,5OO.
 Whether or not he will be tried will depend on the outcome o fthe case of Willis vandemark, which was oonsid- cred.
 This case grew out of the trolley strike in Waterbury, Subsequent to the assaults committed during that strike, Vandemark and seven other strikers were arrested, charged with conspiracy and assault with intent to murder. After an exhaustive trial the accused were acquitted by jury.
 The acquittal was announced on June IT, 1903 In February, 1904, Vandemark was arrested on bench warrant charging him with having perjured himself in the previous trial. The trial of perjury took place in March. Vande- mark was convicted and sentenced to three years in states prison. It was the appeal from that conviction that the supreme court judges heard yesterday.

E. H. SMITH VERY ILL

Elwood H. Smith, of Howard avenue, with the firm of J. Smith & Son, is seri- ously i'll at his home. Some days ago he suffered an operation and since then has been greatly weakened by repeated internal henorrhages.
 Dr. Converse, who is attending him, believes that if he does not have anoth- CT hemorrhage he will have a good chance of recovering. He is very weak now, and another attack at this time would probably be fatal.
