Rutland, April e-The State reached
the end OF It's long line of evidence to-
day in the trial of Elroy Kent in county
court for the murder of Miss Della r.
Congdon of East Wallingford. and Dr.
Don y. Grout, superintendent of the
Waterbury asylum, was the first witness
called by the defense The object OF his
testimony was TO offset that of r. NJ.
Taecart the cheesemaker. whom Kent 5
counsel tried to connect with the
crime, Tagsart having stated that DR..
Grout tried to prevent him from Identify
ing Kent AT the asylum.
Little progress was made with the SUI
porintendent as Attorney General Sar-
gent objected to several Of the questions
asked by Attorney Spelman on the
ground that counsel had gone beyond
the scope OF the direct examination and
Judge Waterman ruled the questions
cat Some Of the objections were also
based on the ground that the defense
hid made Mr.. Taggart its own witness
and that his testimony did not require
confirmation. Or. Grout was permitted
tc state only what opportunities he had
gwen Taggart to identify Kent. Dr..
circuit swore that when Kent escaped
from the institution he was smooth sha-
ven. All the East Wallingford wit

There was another pathetic scene IN
the court room during a recess to-day
when Kent's aged mother and his seven
years old brother. Perley, talked togeth-
CT for a short time. The mother had not
seen her son for seven years and said
that he had changed that she would
not have known him. The respondent
gave tho boy coin to overcome his shy
ness and devoted the remaining few min
utes Of the interview to inquiries about
members Of the family. He had evident

KENT "PIAYED CRAZY"
Deputy Sheriff A. w. j. Wilkins of
Rrattlehoro was an important witness for
the state to-day. He has known Kent
for Is years because of some of the
scrapes the man got into for stealing
before being charged with the greater
crime. Mr. wilkins testified that Kent
some time ago admitted to him that he
"played crazy" while at the state prison
at Windsor for a former offense in
order that he might be transferred to
the Waterbury asylum as there was a
better chance to escape there. Witness
testified to finding the initials "E. X"

In spite of the fact that a number
Of mills were represented on the Bos-
ton market this week business was
comparatively quiet for it is o a

ers are not in need of additional heavy
supplies of wool, says the Boston

there were twelve mills represented
here and although nearly all consum-
ers bought some wool the aggregate
purchases of the week are by no
mean heavy. II is estimated that the
activity is probably covered by 2.Oo0.-
600 to 1880. coo pounds. The major
ity of mills now have enough raw
material on hand to last for general
requirements during the present light
