Matthew Guastamachia of Norwich Town, one of the three men accused and on trial for the burglary last December at the Glen Woolen Mills at Norwich Town, denied absolutely that he had anything to do with the burglary, when he was put on the stand in the superior court at New London Wednesday after noon.
 He was the first witness put on the stand when the defense opened its case Wednesday afternoon and his testimony categorically contradicted the testimony of Tony Baldi of Groton, who had turn ed states evidence, and had implicated Guastamachia and Pasquale Capognia of Groton with himself in the burglary at the mill
 Guastamachia testified that he was at the Liberty Woolen mill at Yantic work ing at unloading a car of coal on the afternoon of Dec. S1 which was the time when Baldi testified Guastamchia came in an automobile with Capognia to Groton and the three drove back to Nor wich with several other men to the Guastamachia farm. Guastamchia fur ther testified that he had been in Nor wich at a bowling alley during. the early part of the evening of Dec. 31 and that he was returning to Norwich Town on the trolley car dDOul Il U CiOCh dilu SOt home about the time the burglary was committed. At the time when Baldi tes- tified that the stolen woolen cloth was l carried down to Groton in a two-horse wagon by Guastamachia and Baldi, the accused man said on the stand that he was at work around the farm at Norwich Town all day and knew nothing about the taking of the cloth to Groton. Mrs Dennis Houlihan of Sturtevan avenue, Norwich Town, wife of the mar
 who fired at the burglars from a win
 dow, testified that she saw only twc
 men. Her husband, when called as { witness for the state. had said ther
 were five or six men around the automo
 bile.

DENIES ANY PART IN BURGLARY

attorneys Henry IT., Pettis and Thomas NJ. Shields who appear for the accused men, had finished questioning Mrs. Houlihan.
 When court came in Wednesday morn ing States Attorney Hadlai' A. Hull put on the stand, Clarence w. Thompson of New London, as an expert of the effects of bullets on sheet metal.
 Mr Thompson's testimony had to do with dent on the hood of the Rec truck which the state allees the burglars used the night of the burglary and which was struck by a bullet fired by MT. Houlihan from the window of his home which he fired at the burglars.
 MT. Thompson testified that he had had considerable experience in firing fire arms of various descriptions at shee metal targets of various thicknesses and had observed the effect of the bullets up on them. He identified dent on the wood of the Rec truck as dent prob ably made by a bullet from .32 caliber revolver and he described the location and nature of the mark to the jury. The court and jury examined the dent on the hood of the machine which was driven to New London and stood in front of the court house.
 l The admission of MT. Thompsons tes- | timony as an expert was strenuously objected to by Attorney Pettis and At 1 torney Shields for the defense, claiming that MT. Thompson had not qualified as 1 an expert The objection was oyerruled by the court and exceptions were noted
 Several women we're then put on the stand to identify cloth they. had pur- chased and which is alleged to be some of the cloth stolen. At the conclusion oI their testimony State Attorney Hull rest
 ed his case and the jury was excusd un
 til two o'clock while Attorneys Petit!
 and Shields made a motioMto the cour
 that the testimony regarding the cIotl
 be thrown out as it had no connection
 with the case. Judge J. H. Webb de
 nied the motion, after which the defens ! started it's case.

IO GAOEON IRON WORKS
 The Groton Iron Works. a concern in which Charles ". Morse is fntrested. ob- tained an excess advance payment of about $1.o0000O from the Emergencv Fleet corporation for completion of gov ernment shipbuilding contracts. accord ing to E. D. MacNary. comptroller of the New York district for the beet corpor- ation.
 MacNary testified to this effect in New York Wednesday before the congression- al committee Investigating Mr ATorse's relations with the United States Shipping board and Emergency Fleet corDoratio
 He asserted this excess advance was made after the plant had exhausted S16.- 155,Q00 on a contract only 90 ner cent. completed Half of the S1.000,000 ad- vance was sunk by the company in it's plant. according to information which MacNary said had come to him.
 This S50000 according to MacNarv. represented the amount credited to the company because of the cancellation of orders for three huIls. which, however, according to the terms of the contract. could not be paid until the ships were delivered.
 Representative Joseph Walsh of Mass achusetts, chairman of the committee then asked the witness if the government was not left unprotected when it adVanc- ed the other S500.Oo0 given the company 1 according to MacNary, because govern ment officials feared if it was not ad- vanced the government would sustain a greater loss through non completion of ships
 The witness explained that the addi- i tional half million dollars was protected | by a written guarantee taken on the | Virginia shipbuilding corporation, anoth CT Morse interest. This concern he hat been told. had net liquid assets exceed i ing S4000000. An official named Gillen 1 an executive assistant to Rear Admira Benson, chairman of the Emergency Feet corporation, according to MacNary who added that John Overend, comptro Ter of. the Baltimore district, had est mated the value of this plant at only S500,000 z
 The excess money advanced the Grotol plant, MacNary said, was provided be cause of the financial stress by the boart i of trustees of the Emergency Fleet cor 1 poration. who held a meeting in Apri and decided to provide the concern witt funds to complete the ships.

WELSH HAS WON
BOTH GAMES PLAYED

Sundays base ball game resulted in
a victory for the Welsh team over
Lake Arthur by a score of 8 to 5. The
visitors played at a disadvantage and
showed plainly lack of practice. The
team is made up mostly of the players
who composed Lake Arthur's fast team
last year. They will probably come to
the front as the season advances, but
for the present Welsh has them out.
classed. The fact of the matter is that
Welsh has one of the best amateur
base ball teams to be found. They are
playing in even better form than last
year They demonstrated ability in
the game with Lake Charles two weeks
ago.
