TILT OF COUNSEL AT WESTERLY
lot Much Progress Wednesday Trial Engineer Mansfield Lawyers Consume Time Objectng and Demurring- Tovverman Ernest Skelton and Signal Supervisor j. O. Vernon s.fy-Court Adjourns to Friday

That there is keen interest ip the Mansfield manslaughter case, now on trial in the superior court for Wash ington county at Westerly, is demon strated by the large attendance of spectators daily in the court room, and the general discussion outside when the court is not in session. It was expected that the trial would be com pleted this week. but indications are that it will continue for at least one week more. The judge and the attor- neys in the case went into consu1ta- tion at the time the court was sched- uled to open Wednesday and it was an hour later, when Judge Rathbun was on the bench and the trial proceeded.
 Ernest SkeIton who was on the wit pess stand when court adjourned Tues day, was recailed.f The witness is tow
 erman at Hillsgrove. He had testi- fled that the cabinet had worked wrong several times and was responding to the question as to whether the lever had always worked properly, when ob- jection was raised by Attorney Phil lips. He argued that the apparatus was not the same as at Wood River and Bradford Attorney Fitzgerald asked if the signals had failed to work when the levers were set in order. The objection was sustained: The witness was asked if the levers had ever work ed improperly at Hillsgroye and dur ing the period when witness was on duty. Objection sustained. During 1916, in May, was the plant out of or der? Objection made and sustained and like result followed the query if the plant was out of order in June, 1916. Witness was at work in June. and the levers worked wrong so frequently that he could not specify the dates. He was then asked if he recollected any Attorney Phillips was sustained. Were working order in September was ask AIr Fitzgerald then asked if they were all right in August. Attorney Phil lips objection was sustained.
 fudge Rathbun stated there was no objection to show that She signals were working properly and that the systems at Eillsgrove and Bradford and Wood River were dissimilar. MT. Fitzger- aid claimed that the systems were the same in essential details as had been shown. by the witnesses for the state, Anderson, Morrison, Nicholson and Warner. This was doubted by MT. Phillips. The court was guided by the memory of the testimany and was will ing to be corrected by production of the actual testimony. MT. Fitzgerald added that the mechanical locking was the same in all towers of the New Ha- ven system and it was this phase of the case he was endeavoring to show by witnesses. Judge .Rathbun said

What Thin Folks Should Do
 To Gain Weight
Good Advice for Thin, UndevefOped
 Men and Women.


 Thousands of people suffer from ex- cessive thinness, weak nerves and fee- ble stomachs who. having tried adVer- tised flesh makers. food-fads, physical culture stunts and rub-on creams, re- sign themselves to lifelong sk1nn1ness and think nothing will make them fat. Yet their case is not hopeless. re- gently discovered combination of as similative agents has made rat grow after years of thinness, and 1t Is also unequalled, judging from reports, for repairing the waste of sickness or faulty digestion and for strengthening the nerves. This remarkable prepara- ton is called Sargol. Six strength giving. fat-producing assimilative ele- ments of acknowledged merit have been combined in this preparation which is endorsed and used by pr6mi- nent people everywhere. It Is abso- lutely harmless, inexpensive and effi- cient.
 A few weeks systematic use of Saf- gol should go far to produce flesh and strength by correcting faults of dtges- ton and by supplying nourishing fats to the blood. If not. every druggist who sells it is authorized to return the purchase price. Increased nour1Shment is obtained from the food eaten, and the additional fats that thin people need are thus provided. Lee & Osgood, Norwich. and Chesbro's Drug Store, WilIimantic, and other leading drug gists supply Sargol and say there Is large demand for it.

No other part of the system is altered hv this change and it does not nnechani- cally change the interlocking system but the distant signal is electrically locked back from the home and the starter lever. There is an electrical and mechanical lock on the distant sic nal At the Newport road tower the arrangements are the same as at Bradford.

There are back-locks in use at the Bradford tower and the same applies to Wood River. It would be necessary to put lever of distant signal at normal, the first home at normal, before an un- lock could be given.

Vernon responded and said the Johnson and Union cabinets were both of high grade. The Bradford tower is not en- tire1y different from other towers, he said, in response to a query from MT.

The wrangle went on and Mir. Fitz- qerald explained to the court the diff cuIties he was up against in this court with the influence of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road against him. He declared that the New York New Haven and Hart ford road experts and engineers were coaching the attorneys for the state and doing it's best to damage the life of Engineer Mansfield in order to pro- tect it's signal system. MT. Phillips denied the implication and declared that he with MT. Otis were trying the case and that the New Haven rail road had nothing to do with 1t. MT. Fitzgerald said there were experts for the company along certain lines in the building to aid the attorneys for the state. and that only on Tuesday an expert of the railroad company sat be- side them as coach, and that railroad employees were out Cn scout duty to aid the prosecuting officers.

As today is Colum- bus day. a legal holiday in Rhode Island, there will be no court session.
