trial is given ,p to the prosecu-
tons rebuttal testimony, brought
to disprove the showing made by

ertson asked for a half days adj
vance notice of the completion Of

of business acquaintances Of the
late Mr.. Sloane to prove that he

nor insane.

timately a long while and said he
considered him perfectly sane.

ORATORIO SOCIETY.

Enthusiastic Rehearsal Last Night.
 The first rehearsal of "Arminius'' in Woolsey hall by the New Haven Ora torio society, was held last night. Prof. Harry B. Jepson was present, and the chorus had the advantage of rehear- sa. with the Newberry organ.
 The dress rehearsal Thursday, with soloists and orchestra will be the only rehearsal after last night and it is ex- pected that every member of the socie- ty will be present.
 The seat sale Saturday and yesterday morning has been remarkably fine, and there are indications that every avail able seat in Woolsey hall will be occu- pied Thursday night. The sale con tinues from g to ii mornings at Woolsey hall and from to o'clock at Steinert's s music store,
 Some good seats are still to be had.
 If last nights rehearsal can be fore cast of the kind of work the chorus will do on Thursday there is little doubt that this will be the most artistically successful concert the oratorio society has ever given. All the chorals go with magnificent swing and when fine shading and lelicate nuance is called for, the chorus shows clearly that all these weeks of rehearsing have not beer in vain and that the conductors every point has been attained.
 The three soloists, Campanari, Mime Gertrude May Stein and Edward John son have been hard at work on theli parts and have been rehearsing in New York SO that all around perfectly smooth performance of "Arminius' vii be the result.
