which complaint had been made. He said that s. G. Lockwod, to whom he applied would not give him informa- ton, but seht him to First Selectman Keeler, and the latter did not give much help. Dr. Dow told of his ef- forts to locate a glandered horse there IC the Wilton case it had been report ed that a horse suffering from the glanders had been killed on watershed of the town and allowed to lie exposed. s. G. Lockwood, it later appeared by the evidence, is father -in-law of Dr. Atwood. Dr. Dow explained that final ly conditions became good and satis- fled everybody except the tribe in Georgetown who are trying to make trouble"
 As to pr. Dow's Competency.
 On the paragraph which asserted that the commissioner in appointing Dr. Dow had not appointed d gradu- ate of a recognized veterinary college, as provided by law, Judge Light of- fGred a document from the United States department of agriculture, say ing to Judge Henney, who had asked for an explanation, that he wished to show that tic department did not rec ogniZe that college as a standard one. Judge Henney claimed that the college was part of Toronto university. Dr. Dow was graduated In 190O.Mr Light offered a catalogue of the college for 1908 -O9.
 AVeriI Had to Protect the State.
 On the charge that the commissioner did not cooperate with the bureau of animal industry in its efforts to stamp out glanders the commissioner said and he offered letters to prove it, that he secured blood tests from the de- partment and looked upon them as cOrroborative evidence. He said that when one glandered horse was killed he did not order another horse killed If it had been with the one deceased and test showed that it was all right explaining that under the law a horse had tc be appraised if the owner ob- iected to the killing, and if there was nothing the matter with the horse the state would have the bill to pay. He had to protect the state. On the charge that the commissioner ought to have. known the acts of Dr.. Whitney, bis agent. the commissioner said he had absolute confidence in Dr. Whit ney and was frequently in consultation with him and received reports in writ ing from him.
 Says Atwood Wants the Job.
 On the charge that the commission CT had used his office for building up a personal political machine, MT. Av- erill said that as all the charges cana from New Haven, the contest narrowed down to Dr. Whitney and himself on the one side against Dr. Atwood on the other, who wished to get the commits sioner out of office so he could get the office himself. AS a portion of let ter was incorporated In the paragraph MT. Averill read as evidence the full correspondence showing that pr. At wood wanted to get an appointment, which was the actual reason for the charge. The commissioner said the motive which led to this letter writ ing grew out of the desire of Dr. Att wood to be employed to give the tuber- culin test to cattle shipped out of the Continued on Page Two.)

 ders Case Wilton-Witness Says Dogs Ate Flesh of Glandered Horse, Which Lay Exposed on Watershed.

Hartford. Conn, Feb. 15.-The first day of the hearing on the charges brought by Dr. F. G. Atwood of New Haven against Commissioner IL O. Averill was given up almost entirely to a statement by the commissioner on the eighten paragraphs of the com plaint, and when an adjournment was taken until e.30 tomorrow morning At torney General Light had just opened the case by calling a witness from Wilton, who testified in regard to horses which were killed or had died from some trouble,- reported in that town to be glanders.
 Or. Atwood Scored in Letters.
 The procedure of the hearing, which was before Governor Baldwin, was that instead of the attorney general intro duCing evidence on each paragraph of the complaint, Commissioner Averill took the witness stand and then made reply to aacL charge. Or nine para graphs which related to cases of glan- ders. or farcy, and wherein it was set up that the commissioner or his agent, Iir. Harrison Whitney of New Haven, did not do his or their duty, the com missioner presented his letter files showing correspondence in each case. This involved the reading of many let ters, some of them of a personal na- ture to some extent, in which the writ CT frankly gave his opinion of Dr. At wood.
 Book Records Submitted.
 The letters were supplemented by verbal explanations by the commis- sioner and some cOrrobOrative eW- dence from book records. The com ,1n l,o rN,ot ever was in his power to handle sus- picious cases, and that he had confi- dence in the acts of his agents, more particularly pr. Whitney, as most of inc paragraphs appertained to cases in New Haven. Then other specifications iU the complaint were taken up and such documents as the commissioner offered were taken as exhibits.
 Sixteen Witnesses Subpoenaed.
 Judge W. F. Henney of this city was counsel for Mir Averill while the states case was conducted by Attor- ney General Light, with F, s. Bishop as attorney for pr. Atwood. Alter ad- 1Ournment subpoenRs were prepared for sixteen witnesses for the state while Judge Henney had a number of witnesses to be called.
 The Wilton Case.
 Under the paragraph which alleged that the commissioner in other cases arising in the state. had failed to act, or had been indifferent, the cases of horses killed in Wilton were brought up. The commissioner said that on January 8 he had been notified of a suspicious case in that town and had sent his deputy, Dr. Dow, to investi- gate. The commissioner preferred not to testify as to the Wilton case as having sent his deputy, he believed that the latter was better qualified to tell Of actual conditions, and it had been his policy that when he employed expert assistance to depend upon the evidence of those experts.
