ARGUMENTS NOT FINISHED.
By Counsel in the Case of Labby vs
 City of Putnam.

In the superior court here Friday the case of Jennie Labby vs. the City of Putnam, commenced Thursday was continued. the taking of evidence be- ing completed and arguments by coun- sel made during the day. Several wit nesses were heard, their testimony having to do with the extent of the damage done the Labby building on Canal street.
 City Clerk F. w. Seward testified that the latter part of the month of October, 1910, he received a letter from MT. Labby that damage was being done his building by blasting and asked protection. The matter was referred to the corporation counsel, John F. Carpenter.
 Arthur Maynard testified that he was in Labby's saloon at the time of the heavy blast and that two clocks on the wall were stopped by the shock, a mir TOT was cracked and cracks were made in the brick wall
 Charles o. Crane a builder and con- tractor of WfIiimantic. testified that the west wall of the building had and cross walls had parted at :, the angles where they met. To repair the building it would be necessary to tear down the west wall Che side near the canaD take out about half of the stone foundation and rebuild the stone foun-
 
 would be s2.S04.96. On cross exanina- ton, said that the building was not un- safe now. but that if the world "jogs along as it has in the last 40 years" 1t will be unsafe in the future some time.
 For the defense George w. Perry tes- tified that the average depth of rock was 1-2 feet. and the maximum depth was 10 feet, and even by drilling holes at quite an angle, 1t would not be pos sible to drill 16 foot holes.
 B. M. Wheaton testified that the out side wall Is as nearly plumb as masons can lay it, but the inside of the wall seems to have shrunken This may have been caused. however. by the sea soning of the wood, which would give the appearance of a bulge. There is 8 crack in the basement, but that is nothing unusual for cracks usually occur where stone and cement work meet. He said that the cracks could be filled up with calcium plaster and the few brick torn out and replaced. at a cost of less than s100. He would not tear down the wall.
 Arguments will be completed today and the case will go to jury.
