 NfargueriteS but she said that there i had been no improper relations with l men there. She was also asked about l her engagement to a man named Ar | thur LightheiSer, and as to whether l ins cigarettes. She said she had never 1 smoked over ten in her life.

 As to Intellectual Ability.
 Dr. IT. M. Pollock, superintendent of 1 the Norwich state hospital, was put on the stand and testified to his gen 1 eral study and experience in the Sub 1 ject of mental debility. He was asked | what the mental condition of a man l accused of such a crime as Morgan is | accused of might be. The doctor re- piled that such a mans intellectual l ability in other respects might be high | o- of the highest order. Because a man might be a sexual pervert did not ! indicate that his mental ability in l other ways might not be of the highest | order.
 With the examination of Dr. Pol | lo@l the state rested its case at 3.3S | o'clock.
 Witnesses for the Defense. | George P. Flynn, 26. who lives part

 The witness said he could hear | through the door between the rooms. l He heard Mrs. Bailey say This is a l - of a life, fighting all the timei" To | this Mir. Bailey answered; ''1f you don't 1 like it pack up and leave!"
 Fred J. Myers, who also boarded at | the Brown house, and works at Swan | sons restaurant, said he saw a woman 1 go by the restaurant about 1.30 or 1 1.45 on the morning of Tuesday Jan. | 26, and he thought it was Mrs. Bailey. 1 Mir. Swanson said there goes Bailey'S l wife. Bailey learned this from the | witness. He told of Bailey later say 1 ing to him that if he could only get l Lottie Wilson to testify the same 1 things against Morgan as Mrs. Bailey | would testify he would give $25. Myers | answered Bailey that he didn't want to 1 have anything to do with 1t.
 i On cross examination States At 1 tOrney Hull asked Myers about his ac l quaintance with Lottie Ussher and he | denied he ever had her in his room at 1 the Brown house. The witness was
 asked if he had not denied to State 1 Policeman Downing in the court house 1 since he was summoned that he had | seen Mrs Bailey go by. The states i attorney had a hard time getting a 1 direct answer to the question, but the I witness finally said, ''No.'
 Dr. Benj. N. Pendleton, a veterina- | rian in New London, testified he saw | Morgan on the car on the evening of | at Montaull avenue and Pacific street | A woman was with Morgan.

At that time Bailey said he would give $25 to Lottie USSier if l she would testify against Morgan the l same as Mrs. Bailey would testify. | On cross examination the states at- ! torney had a New London police officer | stand up in court. The witness said S 1 attorney brought out the fact that the | officer had ordered Crocker out of the 1 depot after Crocker had an argument with Bailey about the money Bailey 1 owed Crocker on a suit of clothes. The witness said Bailey told him 1 at the boarding house all about what j had happened between Morgan and ! Mrs. Bailey When Crocker had heard | the story he went directly to Attor- l ney Morgans office and told the at 1 torney what Bailey had told him. ] CrocLer was closely questioned by States Attorney Hull as to just when l he told Morgan this. At first the wit ness said it was on Tuesday after 1 noon. Jan. 26 at 4.45 o'clock, but when | MT. Hull asked him if he did not know l that MT. Morgan was not in New 1 London that day, Crocker thought it
 was Wednesday. Again Major Hull 1 asked him if he did not know that 1 MT. Morgan was not in New London i on Wednesday. The witness said he ] did not know about that, but he was very sure he told Morgan about it 1 on the same day that he heard the 1 story from Bailey.
