publlc seats. EQWdFu -. LeWls, Ieits if not dandy, resumed the threads of the story he was telling when court suspended yesterday. He denied posi- lively that he was ever at Lockwood's house, though at first he said he could not remember ever being there. He had four interviews with Preston about robbing Lockwood.
 Willie FOrtin, Park road, told once again the story of the assault as Lock wood told it to him. It was at For tins Mail Carrier Townsend first com- municated the news of the assault. IL was the same story with this addition: l After the old man had been struck on 1 the head a few times one of the as sailants said to the other. You are not striking him in the right place" He then put his hand on the old mans i neck and said, Strike him here" and 1 immediately another blow was struck.
 Charles B. Everett, secretary and treasurer of the Waterbury Ice corpor- ation, knew Cenesky and Leonard as employees of the company in the sum- mer of 1904 Preston was driver and Cenesky occasionally was his helper.
 l Constable Maurice F. Carmody took measurements of the kitchen and of the bedroom yesterday. He also found seventeen dents in the ceiling, some deeper than others. The ceiling was 6h feet high. and the distance from the house to the roadway was 100 feet, and from the house door to the water ing trough 1j0 feet.
 James Ringwood, South street, em' plOyed at Benedict X Burnhanl's, piled up the testimony regarding the two men looking for work Oh Park road 1 the day of the assault. He did nof identify Bassett, Leonard or Cenesky as either of the men.
 Herbert Lockwood. a nephew of de ceased. said the dents in the ceiling of the bedroom were fresh when he saw them. '..
 Leonard then took the stand. He stated that he did not inquire at any house the day of the assault for work. Returning from Lockwood's house, he and Bassett walked together and Cen esky was about 100 yards ahead. They met two men on the road above the watering trough and also a milk wagon in which were man and q boy, Horace Atwood and Edward Green.
 Taking up the story at his room ill New York, he said he lived in Law renee street about five weeks, going there early in January. ., ,...
 Grover was brakeman and his home was in Baltimore and he was-Ir the Lawrence street house about three weeks. Leonard knew Bassett was iE prison when he told the story to Detec- tive O'Rrien in New York. Three weeks before that he heard Bassett was in prison. @. :, On cross-examinatiOn he testified that on going to Lockwood's they did not walk together. still it was his opin- ion that neither of them applied at any house on the road for work. Growers last name was Swan. He met him only three or four times. and denied ever playing cards with him. Going | to Lockwood's the day of the assault Leonard and Bassett were in front Reaching the watering trough Cenesky overlook them. but whenever they ap- proached house he would hang back.
 Samuel Cotrell, employed on the Buckingham farm. Middlebury road, and Eugene Moriarty, West Side hilL went over the ground already travelled by other witnesses.
 Dr NJ. J. Donahue was the next wit ness. He is the medical guide for the defense. A very long hypothetical question was asked him. embracing all | the clements in Lockwood's life from a few months before the assault to the time of his death. and the condition of his body thirty-nine hours after death when the autopsy was made.
 Attorney Kellogg objected on tue grounds that all of the evidence on the point involved was not incorpor- ated in the question and that features were assumed in it which were not testified to at all. The question was modified to the extent that the words "and for two weeks he showed every sign of recovery" were excluded. and added to it was that his nurse had no experience in that capacity. With these amendments the question was allowed. The question was fifteen minutes long and the doctor replied. first ,by- asking a few questions. Then he said that in his opinion Lockwood had form of Bright's disease. The blows received by Lockwood caused coueusSion of the brain. Sometimes inc effects of concussion of the brain pass away after ten days. The fact that Lockwood was about his work a few days after the assault pointed to simple eoncussion. The autopsy did not prove to him that LockwOCis death was caused by his wounds. Ur Donahue testified that the wounds inflicted upon old man Lock yrocd had no influence in bringing atout the mans death. State Attor. pev Kellogg then put the following question to the witness: Then you mean to say he would have died on April n. anyway
 The answer in reply to this question | was. "I guess he would Thereupon Nr Kellogg refused 10 further ques- tion the witness Attorney Russell tben took him in hand and be said he meant by that that old man Lockwood hal Rright's disease: be did not mean to Set a date on when the old man was 10 die
