He then attacked Norton's allegation of lnf1delity on February g and stated it was a wilful falsehood, and Norton knew it, as Mrs. Norton was at that time awaiting him, in the company of escorts of his choosing, at Morris Cove. They afterward amended that com plaint and among the whole gang there wasn't one of them who dared to get up and try and prove it true" On the other allegations he said that they were so full of perjury that if the testimony was taken up it would land the whole bunch of them in Wethersfeld, where they ought to be-"
 On the habitual intemperance he said their very actions showed how little there was in their charges. Why, it was so prominent that they had to em- ploy detectives to find it. Ever heard of that before? No. In habitual in- case hundreds can be found to testify to it if there was any truth to it.
 During the case he said there have been thirty college friends of hers nam ed to the count, and why, then, if, as they charged, they knew of her indis- cretions-why didn't they bring them in to testify to it.

 He then referred to the marriage by, saying Norton never objected to his wife drinking ginger-ale highballs, but that as soon as his parents heard of 1t they concluded that she wasn't the girl that could drink Manhattan cocktails 1 in the society of New York, or that if sine went to visit Conway's people she might eat beans off her spoon, and therefore was not fit for Norton. With that he concluded.
 Attorney Benedict M. Holden, coun- sel for Jenkins then addressed the court He ridiculed the testimony that Mrs. Norton and Jenkins were crim- inally intimate. He said the court could not believe that Mrs. Norton would Haunt Jenkins before the riest at church on Easter morning after she had been in adulterous relations with him the night before. ts 1noFar tn him that MT. Norton's peace of mind. These allegations are absolutely false and unfounded.
 "There is no evidence of adultery as far as he is concerned, and his name ought not to have been brought into this case"
 Attorney Hull, in opening his address, ridiculed the assertion of drugged wine. When was it drugged? They forget that the same wine was opened by this man Jenkins only a few minutes before | it was offered to Mrs. Norton"
 MT Hull defended his witnesses against the imputations that had been cast upon them by counsel for the other side.
 In referring to detective testimony he said that the United States employs de- tectives all the time, and so does the state of Connecticut. "They are necessary in cases of this kind. If their testimony be true, they must be believed"

 He said that Washington was found ] by them accidentally in possession of knowledge.
 "The intimation against Mrs. Everson that she had been caught in a compro- missing situation with man named Troy in Hartford was dirty insinua- tion," said MT. Hull, flor which there was no justification
 There is credit due Miss Degnan," said Attorney Hull. She has stuck to te defendant when all others deserted her."
 Of Norton, Mr Hull said he came here, as other do, to this university town with kisses of mothers on their cheeks

 MT Hull then told about the cock tails sold there and the plaintiff was one who purchased them. Then came highballs, hooks, seances, hot suppers, opening the way that leads down, down to the position this young man went"
 These night birds, these young won- en, lure these young men away, college work is neglected, hope of parents is dashed to the ground and the young man falls"
 "The marriage was made under shameful and libidinous circumstances, because the young man was caught in the trap that was set for him."
 "The covenant was unholy and filthy"
 "The young man showed that he was what is sometimes called, in the lan- guage of the street, an easy mark"
 The young man took the bait and swallowed it, hook bob and sinker."
