 son of the case when he happened to meet the Bridgeport lawyer in Hart ford. Charges have been brought against Durant," said Attorney Church, "and it is possible that Colonel Burpee makes them out of malice"
 After vigorous objection by the prosecution Judge shumway ordered the states attorney to be a tritle more favorable to the respondent.
 States Attorney williams read the deposition of Detective Murphy, who gave his address at the time as 446 East 2Oth street. New York
 Murphy stated that he called on Dur |ant at his office, August 4, 1904.
 Durant gave him instructions to fol- low Lathrop everywhere. These in- |structions were followed out by Mur- Iphy and he trailed Lathrop for five days, finally going to Durant and stat ing that the shadowing of Lathrop was useless.
 Murphy claims that Durant then in troduced him to Mrs, Delkescamp, and he followed her and discovered that she had trouble with her husband. Later Mrs. Delkescamp told Murphy in the presence of Durant that she was on fine terms of friendship with Lath- rop. The deposition goes on to tell of Mrs. Delkescamp's and Lathrop's hab- | it's.
 A recess was taken before States At torney Williams had finished reading the deposition.
 | At the afternoon session of the court Mrs. Elizabeth l.. Lathrop was the first witness. She occupied the stand most of the afternoon. She pleaded that whatever MT. Durant had done for her he had done as friend and not as an attorney; that he told her she was the only one in Waterbury who didn't know about MT. Lathrop's wicked life. She said she had no money to bring action against her husband but that Mrs. Kimball, friend of hers residing in New York, had given her funds to bring such action, and that this money was sent to MT, Durant to use 1t in the faction. The first sum sent was money Iorder for $200 and the second contribu- Ition was a check for $500, also sent to MT. Durant.
 She said that she conversed with MT. lBurpee, the Delkescamp woman, MT. Durant and Judge Lowe, in each others presence and at that interview Murphy told her that he had had many rotten leases, but had never met man with lsuch character as tat of her husband and that MT. Burpee said that he wax repulsive, an old roue, and an al laround scamp. She said that MT. Dur Iant took some part in the conversation Mrs. Delkescamp said that she had done what she did do for the sake o1 MT. Durant and because MT. Duran had done her favors; that her husband had abused her, and that she was only too willing to aid any woman who was placed in a similar position.
 The further testimony of the after noon was from Thomas J. Maxwell O. INew York a private detective, who was also connected with the Navarro house, New York, and James F. Dal laly, a police detective sergeant of New Yorks police force, off and on for min, 
 Tor ten years, barring years intermis sion when he was special agent fol the New York, New Haven and Hart lford railroad, his present position be- ing detective police segeant. Thei tes timony rwas to the effect that Murphy who had testified against Durant il this case, was not to be relied on fc truth or veracity. There were variou harmless tilts between States Attor ney Williams and Stiles D. Judson du

 be finished before tomorrow afternoon
