THE BISHOP TRIAL.
Continued from page l.)

 WI en he cleaned up the floor. On the following day Officer Joyce said he and Bishop were alone, and the latter told him that -Angell had told him MT. Williams owed him $50. Bishop said Angell had told him he was going to get the money and hide it north of the house, in back of a stump, in a hole. Joyce said Officer Merrill searched for at least a half hour, but couldn't find the money. With Officers Rose and Merrill. Sheriff Dickinson, Deputy Sheriff Helm and myself," said Jooye, Bishop went over to the place and began hunting for the money around among the stumps. While Bishop was search ing around a stump, discovered the money about two feet from the spot in which Bishop was poking about in the dirt" The money was in a box that had contained axle grease. Bishop, when asked where the box came from, said: "We've got twenty of them up to the, shed." When asked why he had not told about the box before, Bishop replied because Angell, who hid it. had told him he would kill him if he did. Bishop told them there was more money hid den, but he failed to find it. Bishop was arrested at about ? o'clock on November g. the day after the crime. The day of the hearing at Holland, the witness said he had visited Rish- op In jail. He asked Bishop if he was sorry that he had killed Mrs.
 Williams, to which he replied that he was. He then asked himi "What would you be willing to do if we get you out of hereP'' "I would be will ing to go back on the farm and work for MT. Williams the rest of my life for nothing" was the reply. On cross exam ination by Attorney Noone, Officer Joyce said that he had after wards learned that Q man, answering the description given by Bishop, did actually walk up the railroad track. The witness said that DO inducements had been offered Bishop, but that which he had told the officers was given with his own free will, after they had gained his confidence.
 The next witness for the state was Henry Williams, husband of the mur. dreed woman. When he took the stand and attempted to testify his voice broke and he finally gave way to tears. He testified that he was 60 years old, end that his wife was 61. His wife owned the farm on which they had lived for 5 years. On the morning of Nov. 8, the day of the crime, he left the house at 9 o'clock to drive to Rockville. He that it was about a quarter of 4 when he arrived home. Before leaving in tine morning he had told Charlie (Bishop) to drive the COWS to Towne's lot and to pasture them there all day, and not to bring them home until he got back to help him, as i9 was not safe to attempt to drive them across the track alone. Witness said when he reached home that he was met by Bishop. who said: Your wife is dead.'' I said: "What is the matterP'' His reply wRs "some one has mRrdered her," Witness

was overcome by his feelings as he described the scene that met his gaze as he entered his home. After he recovered his composure he identified the trunk, butcher knife, ax, stick, broken crockery, his5 wife's clothes, the towel, Bishops clothing and all as put in as evidence on Thursday by Deputy Sheriff Helm and marked as exhibits. ;, The witness was also able to identify three of the coins which were found. They had peculiar marks which enabled him to tell them. That night, the witness stated that he said to Bishop: 1T don't know but they will make out that did it. |" "If either of us is guilty, it is me, as you were not here," was Bishops reply. Continuing. Bishop said to the witness: "Don't ask me any more tonight. In the morning I. will tell you all." MT. Williams said he thought Bishop considered him tn best friend he had He said Bishop was somewhat headstrong at times.
 Medical Examiner Cryus B Newton of Stafford Springs next took the stand. He told of the position in which Mrs. Williams body was lying on the floor. He said she lay in a pool of blood. Her throat was cut and there were seven wounds on the front of the scalp He said the cause | IN& !, Aho L4 SH Afterwards, with Dr. Rockwell, a post-mortem exsmination was made and the vital organs examined. They were found to be in 8 healthy state. though it was not tied very securely. On cross examination, he said that while death was due to the loss of blood from the gash in the throat, the wounds on the head, which were run into each other, would of themselves have caused death in a short time. He said the neck was partly cut off, the cut being on the right side.
 pr. T. F. Rockwell of Rockville was the last witness for the day. He described the wounds, stating that there were eight scalp wounds, one of which was over four inches long. He didn't consider that the fractures in themselves would have produced death instantly, but undoub ubtedly would have caused death in a little while. Then the doctor exhibited the top of Mrs. Williams' skull, showing the fractures Fhere was also a blood clot ppderneath. He also stated that the right eye was somewhat discolor- ed.
 Bishop appeared to be unaffected during the testimony, and when the skull of the murdered woman was produced he showed much interest and craned his neck in order to see the skull. The court adjourned until Tuesday.
 On Tuesday, Michael Halloran, I undertaken, testified to preparing the body for burial. Dr. A. J Wolff of Hartford testified that he had examin- ed the blood scraped from the knife and on Bishops clothes and shoes, and found them all to be human blood. Jailer G. P. Babcock testified to hay ing seen Bishop write his pane for the doctors who examined him. State Policeman M. Joyce, testified to the finding of money, etc. George H.

Angell was called and stated that he was at work over 8 mile from the Williams house from 12 to 3 p. m. the day of the murder, and denied the statements of Bishop in regard to himself.
