You didn't hear this army of po- l1cemen tramping up and downstairs ?'' MT. Cummings asked.

 Mrs. Angles wealthy father, Leon ard BIonde1l, was called just before adjournment. AS he went to the witness stand, Mrs. Angle pressed his hand.
 MT. Blondell's testimony yesterday related to what effect the sight of blood had on his daughter.
 Whenever the sight of blood in dicated agony" he began. my girl went all to pieces. remember back in go or>'91, before the railroad tracks were raised. that we were driv- ing in a closed wagon. We had a dog that always followed us. We were held up by a, freight train, The dog gotsin the way of an express train and it's leg was cut off. Helen faint ed.
 s.Yes, T remember the first time she showed distress he continued slow ly. "I.remember a great many times. Her mother. my first wife, now dead, was a consun ptive. She had fre- quent hemorrhages when Helen was between two and ten years old.
 Helen had mysteries when she saw this pain. She would cry and laugh and carry on. When she was d girl ten years old she was playing in the backyard of our home in New York. A little playmate bruised her face and Helen ran into the hall screaming. I remember it was Sunday afternoon and ran downstafrs.s
 In this vein MT. B1ondeI continued to strengthen the foundations of the contention of the defense that the illogical actions and the inconsistent stories of Mrs. Angle following the death of her old friend and suitor, Waldo R. BaIlou, resulted not from guilty fear, as is the States theory but from an ingrained and unFeason-- able horror of the sight of pain.
 So. before he left the stand, the father told how his daughter slump ed down in her chair In 1906 when he nicked his finger on circular saw, how she went all to pieces and it was a couple of days before she could do any business at alf when one of his horses sshad calked himself that set her off and she went all to pieces,
 MT. Blondel, who collapsed at one of the inquests before Coroner Phe- Ian last summer, now looks to be on the verge of g. nervous breakdown. He paces constantly up and down during the intervals of the trial when it has been Mrs. Angles custom to lie on a divan in the Sherifrs office,

INTEtRNA EGG
 LAYING CONTEST

z
 The hens. in the laying contest at Storrs yielded a little over ten cases of eggs in the nineteenth week, or s,6s4 to be exact. This is 1so eggs more than they laid in the preceding week but not as good as the core spending week last year by 285 eggs. weeks production in that all pens taken together averaged to lay 52 per cent The ten best pens for the week averaged to lay per certl;s thus if all of the birds in the contest had laid as well as these ten pens 1t would have meant a yield of more than five thousand eggs instead or thirty six
 Connecticut pens nearly succeeded in getting away with the three honor places for the week They failed to make complete scoop because a Vermont pen of Rhode Island Reds from St AIbans tied Branford Farm g White Rocks from Groton for third place, each having laid 52 eggs. B. F.. Nase's White Orpingtons from Thomaston. and Storrs Station,s sour milk pen of Rhode Island Reds tied for first place with a production of 54 eggs each and the other experi- mental pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by the Storrs Station made second with a yield of 53 eggs. Tom Barron's English Wyandottes and an other pen of Rhode Island Reds from qroton. Mass. all laid 51 eggs each during Che week.
 The Buff Leghorn hen that was re- ported to have laid such small eggs last week and the week before has now repeated for the third success sive week and in consequence is out This a.ppears to be the first hen that has ever been disqualified and thrown out of the race because she could not lay eggs big enough to be Of any use.
