 TO JURY THIS WEEK.
Testimony of Accused at First Trial
 Admitted by Judge Reed.

New Haven, Conn, July 21.-Rapid
 progress was made today at the re-
 sumption of the trial of Mrs. Bessie
 J. Wakefield, charged with murder in
 complicity with James Plew for the
 death of her husband, William J.
 Wakefield. in 1912, and it is anticipated
 that the case will be in the Jury's
 hands before the end of the week.
 Testimony made by Mrs. Wakefield at
 her first trial was admitted by Judge
 Reed, although counsel interposed ob-
 jection. The court stenographer read
 considerable testimony of the previous
 trial.
 State Policeman Downey told of
 finding in the trunk a number of cards from Plew containing tender senti- ments. One card had this printed verse:
 70. promise me that some day you and I
 Will take our love together to some sky
 ,stcards written by Mrs. Wakefield for the purpose of securing samples of her handwriting were also shown. Tle court admitted them, but not as evil
 dence, at this time against the &C., cused.
 Downey told of conversation he had with Plew while on the way to jail. 'n which he admitted the crime. Judge Frederick M Peasley of Cheshire and Waterbury told of a con- sultation he had with Wakefield in the summer of 1912.
 E. M. Anger. assistant clerk of the superior court, produced the file of the case of the state vs. Flew and offered it as evidence. not against Mrs. Wake field, but as against Plew. Counsel objected on the grounds that 1t includ-
 ed a record against Mrs. Wakefield
 and the objection was upheld George s. Hardy. a Waterbury drug
 gist, was shown a. bottle marked "chloroform liniment." with the word 1iniment crossed out. He did not know
 who crossed the word out, so the judge
 ordered his testimony stricken out an6 the bottle was admitted as an ex. i hibft.
 Mrs. Grace E. Usher of West Haven 1 a sister of the murdered man, told .h, i jury that she last saw her brother il | Bristol in July. 1912. He appeared ] cheerful and never gave any idea tha | he might have contemplated suicide. l Albert Usher of Bristol identified ! spectacles, a vest and other article worn by Wakefield. Several Bristo men testified as to Wakeield's employ ment there at various times.
 Court will be resumed again tomor i row morning.

Paris, July 2L-Joseph Caillaux held the court Tor two intense hours today testffying in defense of his wife, who sat in the prisoners enclosure. charged with the killing of Gaston Calmette editor of the Figaro, on March It last. The appearance of M. Caillaux wls hardly less dramatic than that of Mime. Caillaux yesterday.
 The former premier. still one of the most powerful men in France, donn- them his personality and uncommon gifts of leadership.
 Accused Himself.

 M Caillaux spoke as if in the cham Der. his voice of high tenor, softened in quality, sometimes rising to falsetto in moments of excitement. He gesticulat- ed freely, pointing singularly long forehnger SIS he addressed the judges or the jury. and occasionally it moved in the direction of his wife.
 The trial has entered upon it's polit ical phase and those who sat in the courtroom had occasion to bring to mind that Caillaux is the strong man of the radical groups now rulia5 France

He only knew of their existence when a friend. warned him that they were about to be published.

CONFERENCE FOR SETTLEMENT
 OF HOME RULE DEADLOCK. The Eight Party Leaders Met at Buck
 ineham Palace Yesterday.

London, July 21.-In compliance with the kings summons, which all speak of, in accordance with the time-honored tradition, as command, the eight party leaders most vitally concerned with d settlement of the home rule deadlock met at Buckingham palace today for the purpose of trying 70 reach an agreement. The king .9- ceived them with beech which, also according to constitutional custom, was framed by the prime minister. In this speech the king pointed out the seri- ousness of the situation and the mar row margin of difference which now exists, and expressed the hope of a friendly solution of all difficulties
 The eight leaders, some of whom were not on speaking terms, included John Redmond. the Irish nationalist fore had come into personal contact with the king. They discussed the sit uation for more than an hour and then adjourned.
 The mere fact that they will haze another meeting shows as far as the prlnclLaIs are concerned-and the principals are, of course the leaders of the liberal and conservative parties -an agreement is in sight But agree ment by the principals does not portend by any means definite settlement of any scheme for the future government of Ireland.
 The conservatives have the Ulster covenanters, represented in the con- ference by Sir Edward Carson and Capt. James Craig. to reckon with, and Premier Asquith cannot deliver any goods without the consent of the home rule leaders-Redmond and Dillon Moreover, the labor party, which is an important faction of the premier { present majority in the house of com mons. is in revolt and there is a bolt ing contingent in his own party.
 Politicians who are conversant with the inside workings predict that if the conference reaches any agreement the house of commons will throw it out.
