LAWYERS WERE
 PAID OFF TO-DAY
THE ATTORNEYS WHO DEFEND
 ED LOCKWOOD MURDERERS.
Clerk Marsh's Check Book Was a Glad Sight-The Apothecaries' Hall Co-Rice Hearing Is
 Not Yet Finished

TOT the attorneys and others financially interested i'll the cases against Josepn Cenesky, and Edward Leonard. and other offenders who were before the February term of the court. Lawyers. especially Waterbury lawyers. hate eo take money, but in this instance It was like getting 1t in a letter. It galled Attorney Pierce to be obliged to accept miserable $500 when he knew well that he earned $575. Alul Attorney Carmody, who lost more llme than he can make up in year, took a little check for another miser- able $500 with an air of disdain that was worthy of a disciple of Black stone. Mir Pierce defended Cencsky and Mir CarmOdy took care of Leonard Attorney Lauber didn't get a cent, al- though he was appointed counsel to Leonard with Attorney Carmody and why the court discriminated Is a puzzle to the bar.
 But besides the lawyers there were sheriffs, witnesses and constables and lawyers and more lawyers. There was apparently an endless chain of dignified lawyers who felt themselves drawn toward Clerk Marsh's check book, all giving beautiful illustration of the old saw that it Is an i'll wind indeed that doesn't blow some good to someone.
 In all Clerk Marsh distributed about $7,000, the total exbense of the February term
 The hearing on the motion for a temporary receiver for the Apothecar- ies Hall company is not yet finished. Thursday the attorneys in the case kept Judge Shumway busy until after o'clock. Judge Burpee is fighting the motion and he proposes to put on at the next hearing the evidence of some expert accountants to show that the concern is not only solvent but doing more busiess and with larger profits than ever before. It is not yet known when the hearing will be resumed but it is expected to be a week from next Tuesday.
 The testimony given after press hour Thursday was all to the effect that no salaries have been increased since the death of F B. Rice, no change has taken place in the method of management and that the statement of the financial standing of the con,- pany which was rejected by the di- restors, was refused solely becnuse it was made up according to custom and did not actually show how the con- cern stood by any means.
 The famous horse case, known in the district court as Clark vs Wooster and Rogers. was argued in the super for court Thursday by Attorneys Ken nedy and Peasley. Decision was re- served.
