LIE HURLED IN COURT
 BY P. w. O'SULLIVAN
(From Fridays DaiIyl

In trying to bring out testimony through D. M. Clark, in regard to customs of the board of supervisors in paying cooks before Clark's admin istration, Attorney Anderson for the defense in the Clark trial, yesterday said: q want to prove that the county attorney and the board of supervisors know this," but before he could get any further County Attorney O'Sul- livan jumped up and in heated reply hurled back: q deny it, and it is false. 1 did not know it and I do not know it now"
 This was during the direct exam ination of Clark who took the stand in lis own behalf to refute the charge of defrauding the county. According to his testimony he had been in full charge of the county roads as road superintendent since February IA, 1912, to the time that charges were brought against him. Arrangements between him and the board of super visors were, that he was to go ahead and run the road gangs and camps on his own system. The Slate creek road, he was ordered to build by the supervisors after they had received a petition from people interested in that section who demanded a road. Dur ing his term as road superintendent $150,000 was spent and he had tried to construct all roads as quickly and ihexpensively as he possibly could, because he desired to make a record for himself i'll economy and good road building. The men under him were paid by indorsing road ce-tif- catcs, in return for which, he would present them with a check for the amount of labor they had performed or the money they had coming to them, he saying, that at times, he had given them cash before their pay was dllu tlllS NdS uSduNlSu llOlll lllNl checks. He got his money back by turning the road certificates, attached to a demand, over to the board of su- pcrvisors who would check them up. Clark said these road certificates were merely memoranda and that in most instances the foreman in charge of the work would keep the time and he would get it from him and mark it on the certificates and then turn them over to the board to show where the money had gone.
 A road certificate made out to Will liam Stephens, chairman of the board of supervisors, was at this time intro duced as evidence, by the defense and it was admitted over an objection of the prosecution. Stephens had in dorsed this certificate and in return lad received a check from Clark, Clark said that Stephens had neve.

that since Clark has not been running the county road work, other men have been charging their cooks up to the county, was sustained by the court.
 Part of the testimony of NJ. West was prohibited by the court on the same grounds. The other part of his testimony was that he had used three of his teams on the county road work near Simmons and in return had been paid by Clark on road certificates. For three months work with his teams, including his own time, he had received total of $s6l.sO, according to his road certificates which were en. tered as exhibits. Clark in his testi- mony declared that West had receiv- ed every cent of it.

out that he received another check for $.50 at that time.
 Jeff Cleghorne, who worked as 8 cook for Clark at various road camps had his past brought out in full by Attorney Anderson in cross-examina- ton, he testifying that he took ire quent lay-offs generally after receiv' ing his check and on these lay-offs he had a good time owing to the fact that he cashed his checks in the ex' tinct species of liquor houses that at one time abounded in this city. In fact in some cases he had had such hilarious times that he could not re- member where he had cashed his checks. In January, 1914, he worked l6 days, was given a check and came to town but could not remember just what he had done the rest of the month after cashing his check. Cleg- horne was persistent in his denials that he had ever borrowed any cash from Clark while in town or out on the road.
 The county attorneys examination of Cleghorn brought out the following testimony: that during the summer and fall of 1913 he had worked on the Hillside road as both camp cook and a laborer on the road and that during the winter following he had worked as cook on the Lynx creek road for all of which he signed road certif- icatcs and was paid with check by Clark. He said that on the 10th of Ap-il, 1914, he quit and woman by the name of Mrs. Williams took his place as cook

II with their witnesses, A. Carpenter be ing the first He testified that he har worked as a straw boss under Fore man Kellum on different road throughout the county; that he knev Jeff Cleghorne, one of Clarks cooks and that Cleghorne had habit o drinking too much liquor. He sait that many times, according to hi memory, Cleghorne had borrowed money from Kellum which was de ducted from his wages when he wal paid. In cross-examination he ad mitted that Cieghorne was honorable and honest.
 w. L. Fox, the next witness fol the defense, testified that he had work ed for Clark on the county roads anc on the Slate creek road as foreman from the 10th of September to tho end of November, 1913, and while there kept the time of the men under him. He said that he had kept Cline. smiths time and that the latte- had worked on the road for six days Clarence Eckert, employed at the mine by Clark, sharpened all steel for the road gang under him and also did other work on the county road. His crew working on the road at that time consisted of from four to six men who were working in cut nea- the mine and Fox said that this gang used a tramway and cars from the mine to haul refuse out of the cut after it had been loosened by either the work of the men or explosives. Attorney Clark then said: "We want to prove by this witness, that by us- ing these articles, which belonged to Clark the county was saved the wages of eight men for three months" The prosecution objected but were over ruled and Fox was allowed to answer and he said that when the tramway and cars were used, time of about once again the number of men em' ployed was saved for the county.
 Clark then questioned Fox as fol- lows:
 Q. Did you ever lay off for any time at the Slate creek road job?
 A. Yes, did once for a day or two when I was hurt.
 Q. Did you ever lay of any other time?
 A. That is the only time that I laid off voluntarily.
 Q. Why, you didn't get hurt volun- tarily, did you?
 A. We'll, I could hardly answer that.
 Afte. the examination of Fox court was adjourned at 2:30 o'clock until this morning at 9:30 o'clock to allow those of the counsel, jurors and court officials who wished, to attend the funeral of Joseph L. Archambeau.

JURY UNABLE TO REACH
 VERDICT IN CLARK CASE
(From Sundays Daily)

Whether or not. D. NJ. Clark,
 charged with defrauding the county $ to be acquitted or found guilty, still
 remains undecided, the jury after four
 hours deliberation having been lock
 cd up foT the night. They retired to
 deliberate upon verdict yesterday
 afternoon at 4:15 o'clock and after
 consideration of the case until 9:3o
 o'clock, decided to postpone further
 discussion until this morning. The
 twelve men arc expected to reach an
 agreement one way or the other,
 some time today.
 Judge Cooper instructed the jury and placed them in the hands of the bailiff after arguments by Attorney Anderson and County Attorney O. Sullivan had been concluded.
 At the opening of court session yes terday morning Attorney 1eRoy An derson addressed the jury for the de iense. In part he said;
 There is a legend of ages ago that I wish to remind you of and it is this: A long time ago in biblical times, people every so often, would take someone in their community, place all their sins and wrongs on this pe--- sons shoulders, take him out in the woods and sacrifice him. This man was called the scapegoat and when ever anything is done wrong you will always find scapegoat and Clark is the one in this case. The board of supervisors had no right to allow these road certificates or allow such proceedings as have been shown to you in this trial and Clark has been made the scapegoat of it all. The county attorney has availed himself of every facility within his power and reach to convict Clark, the state ex- aminer and the board of supervisors, and with all his searching since last June up to the day before yesterday he has only showed that the state IS out $l7l of the entire sum of $15O,O90 which he handled. In this stun was included the purchasing of powder. caps and supplies and the paying of labor at an average of s per day and out of this, could you expect man 10 be exactly right with such things to contend with?
 The county attorney has only given you one side of the case and has not showed you where Clark defrauded bimself on occasions, unknown to him until a few days ago. Anderson then related the Clinesmith incident and in explanation said that the time of and others charged to the county had been easily offset by the time of Clark's expert tool sharpener, who, when on the stand testified that he had worked from five to six hours per day on the county road, and he was telling the truth. We have prov cd this to you not only by figures, but by testimony.
 I think according to my legal knowledge and from the testimony given you, that after the court in structs you, that if you have seen the county has received work fo- all the ,laims entered by Clark and unless tou find that he intended to defraud he county you will have to return verdict of not guilty.
 For all the work that Clark did for Inc county, advancing his own money md working nights, he received as interest this: He was brought before his court on a charge of grating. This is his second trial and it is cost

MERCHANTS OPPOSE
 ONE WAY TRAFFIC ]
 IN ClTY'S CENTER
Traffic Policeman Among Those Who Favor Alder
 man Moran's Project.

Before the ordinance committee of the common council in the city hall last night, Alderman William Moran explained why he considers one way traffic at Main street and Fairfield avenue is necessary The alderman said. that with the increase of vehicu- lar traffic due tQ the jitney buses, it is dangerous to permit a vehicle trav- cling in. Main street to turn the cor ner into Fairfield avenue or to allow vehicles travelling in Fairfield avenue to turn into Main street. He said that almost. every hour during day light, hundreds of pedestrians cross this corner and probably no spot in New England is the scene of more human activity. On Saturday mi gats he said the traffic there is unusually large. He said like conditions exist at Church and Chapel streets, New Haven, where it has been found neces- sary to put such a, traffic regulation in force.
 Omcer Goulden, who is on traffic duty at Main street and Fairfield ave- nue, spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance. He said traffic at this spot was becoming more congested every day and to allow vehicles to turn corners at the point mentioned was now positively dangerous. He cited an instance which occurred short time ago when a, woman driv-s ing an automobile rounded a corner there and ran down a man, stopping the automobile with the wheels on his body.
 There was opposition to the ordin- amce. however. Attorney David S. Day appeared for the D. M. Read Co.,. and Attorney James A. Marr for a number of business people in the vicinity who believe their business will be hurt if a. one way system is adopted. The lawyers argued that shoppers who come in automobiles would not go around another block in order ito get to the merchants whom they. said paid high rents and high taxes to be where the traffic is congested and where many per- sons gather.
 Attorney Marr presented a petition from the following business people asking that the ordinance be not adopted:
