 New Haveh,, July 17.-Resumption of the trial of Mrs Bessie J. s Wake field charged with murder of her husband, William, year ago, was delayed little today by confer ence between Judge Reed and States court. In the meantime every seat in the court room was taken by spec tators and those who have part in the trial. It was thought that a group of about dozen persons were witnesses who are to be called. MT. Bauby of counsel for the defense, ex- pressed an opinion that the trial would probably last all of next week.
 James L. Joy, a-baggagemaster at Waterbury railroad station identified trunk which he had taken into his possession on June 28, 1913. It had a paster on the end marked Wake field.'' The trunk had been shipped from Bristol. He did not know who placed the paster on the trunk, or who affixed the express company's tag. Witness held the trunk until July g, when it was turned over to the state police.

Jim." Gillett said he was fa- miliar with. Wakefield's voice. Wit ness did not know Plew. He had nev- CT seen him.
 Objection was made to the intro duction of further reference to Plew as a conspirator. Judge Reed told the jury that these statements of Plew were not to be used at this time agalnst Mrs wakefield. The state ments were to be taken only as ev1- dences of Piew's participation in the crime.
 
 On the occasion of the quarrel Plew and Wakefield talked about the running of trains to Waterbury, the witness said. and Plew said he was going to take the o'clock train. Witness never saw Wakefield alive after that He saw Mrs. Wakefield at ' o'clock that morning. A couple of hours later Mrs. Wakefield asked for ez ~y,@ 1oo tn <ho xxyify9 wife for safe keeping.

 . Mrs. Wakefield had told the witness that her husband and Plew used to fight together. On the following day, Monday. about Il o'clock, Mrs. Gillett repeated. it is claimed, this conversa- ton to Wakefield. Judge Reed ruled this evidence to be inadmissible. Mrs. Wakefield slept for five or six nights thereafter in the apartment of the Gtlletts She asked the witness if he could recognize her husband if he committed suicide and the witness an- swered: ''Yes, for three months after."
 Unaware of Death.
 Mrs. Wakefield said she did, not at that time have any knowledge that her husband was dead.
 The frame of what was once a pair of spectacles or eyeglasses was iden- tifed by the witness as belonging to Wakefield. He found them in an ash pan in a stove in the cellar.
 Relations Were Friendly.
 MT. Bauby conducted the cross examination. The witness said that his relations with Mrs. Wakefield were pleasant and that he had few con- versations with her. The morphine which the witness found in the Kill duff swamp at Bristol was produced. Glllett said he was moving when he picked the bottle up, 200 feet from the house. This was July 27, and he turned the bottle over to Chief Bel den of Bristol.
 The Wakefields had long before left the place. The bottle was marked "chloroform liniment. poison," but the label showed that the word Eminent had been rubbed off.
