State Attorney Williams then cross
questioned the witness He attempted
to discover why Ginty and Detective
Sergeant Funston were so interested in
the Durant case, and why they had at
tempted to intimidate Murphy
Mr. Williams wanted to know why
Mr., Ginty had asked Mr.. Funston to
help him.
Simply because I did not want to
take chance with that thief.
Il knew that he lived at 10 Railroad

tive Sergeant Funston had accompanied
him to see Murphy by stating that Coll
onel Burpee was trying to get Murphy
to 60 before Commissioner Bingham in
New York and attack his (Tunston's)
character.
On redirect examination Mr., Williams
was constantly interrupting Mr.. Jud-
son.
You have made statements innumer-
able which are untrue" shouted Mr..
Judson, arising from his chair and look
ing at Mr. Williams. You are trying a
man, in the hopes Of disbarring him, in
the same manner as you would try a
criminal of the blacklist type. / want
to straighten you out right away so you
will not make Incorrect statements in
your final argument
Judge Robert A. Lowe, Of Waterbury,
followed Ginty on the stand. He was
asked about statements made in Mrs.
Delkescamp's deposition concerning
him He said they were all untrue.
Mr.. Judson was thumbing Mrs. Del
kescamp's deposition,
Page 81 is what you want" said Mr.
Williams,
It hope you are not going to tell me
what questions to ask" said Mr. Jud-
son.

Il am not responsible" interrupted
Mr.. Judson, for what you think, or for
the failure of your mental faculties to
work properly"
Edwin U. Lathrop, the defendant in
the Lathrop divorce suit, was called to
the stand. Attorney Judson asked him
for his checks made out in the year 1904.
Lathrop said that he destroyed them.
Later Mr.. Judson said to the court that
it was his object to show that Lathrop
had paid for the deposition made by
Mrs J. M. Delkescamp.
