cused. Gordon caused smiles by his answers. Judge Gaffney raised ob- jection to the admission or the affadavit, but the court overruled the motion. In reply to a question by tho attorney, Gordon said that it was the statements of Shlafer that prompted him to go to the attorneys once to commence civil action. Asked if he had any of the original slips. tho witness answered in the negative. and when pressed closer as to what
 has become of them. the witness shouted, ''ask your client" 1t was on January 22. that Shlafer "squealed." and two days later he informed the police of the thefts.
 'What inspired you to notify the police?" asked Judge Gaffney. Say do you think I needed any more in spiration?" was Gordon's reply.
 The witness further stated that Goldberg had made overtures of set clement to the amount as represented on the slips in the hands of the con- cern.. He also informed Gordon that he could tell the police, and he (Goldberg) would take his ''medi- cine" Questioned by the attorney, Gordon said that nothing definite was known as to the exact amount which Goldberg is alleged to have taken. but he placed the figures between $26, 900 and $30,00o. During his talks with the accused. Gordon learned that the latter was conscience stricken, and claimed to have stopped his transac- tions several weeks before the dis covery was made.
 George Gordon. the other member of the firm, was the second witness called. On January 27, according to his statements. Goldberg came to his house where he made clean breast of the affair. pleading with the wit ness to extend leniency.
 In pleading for his client, Judge Ganney argued that the testimony showed the case to be one of con-. spiracy rather than theft. However Prosecutor Klett quoting the statute, showed that the case became crimi- nal the moment that the goods were

Must Face Superior Court for
 Theft from Employers

After several adjournments caused by the inability of the state to locate one of the chief witnesses, the trial of Harry Goldberg, former shipping agent for Gordon brothers. arrested in January charged with theft, was taken up for trial in police court this morning. Judge James T, Meskill occupied the bench. Representing the accused were Judge B. F. Gaffney and Attorney Benjamin Chesky of Hartford. There was 8 heavy outpour- ing of legal talent on hand when the session opened. Judge w. J. Malone of Bristol and Attorney A. A. Green berg of this city were present in the interests of Hyman Shlafer. the states witness, who has not been located. A plea of not guilty was entered to each of the five counts against the accused. The largest amount involved was $606.40, representing a number of slips, in which it is alleged the ac- cused conducted his fraudulent trans- actions with Shlafer. Franklin l.. Knox of Hartford took stenographic notes of the testimony.
 The first witness called by the state was Abraham Gordon, junior member of the concern. He testified to taking an inventory of the stock in December. where a heavy leakage was detected. However, he did not place any blame on anyone at this time. Early in January, Shlafer came to him and reported that Goldberg and he had been defrauding the company for a considerable time. handing over slips of paper representing $606. Shlafer told the witness, that he paid Goldberg seventy cents on every dol- lars worth of goods purchased. When the witness spoke to Goldberg about the matter the latter denied that he was in any way connected with the story as told by Shlafer. Later. in company with Gordon and Shlafer. in the office of Kirkham & Cooper. Gold berg broke down and admitted being guilty of having secured the amount that the slips represented, Gordon said. He then made an offer to effect a settlement of $500 or $1.600. The witness said civil action was then started, writs being handed to Deputy Sheriff Marsh who attached money in various banks.s
