Osborn Sharples of New London con- cluded his testimony here Tuesday in the superior court before Judge Allyn L. Brown and a jury in the case in which John A. Johnson of Groton is on trial on the charge of obtaining S450 on false p-etenses from Sharples on October fl, 1920. It is the claim of the state that Johnson sold Sharples half interest in a patent called a side-contortion, which Ford automobile to make riding in the machine safer ard more comfortable, but that Johnson had never obtained such a patent.
 Arter Sharples had concluded his d. rect examination by State Attorney Had lai A. Hull, he was taken In hand for a lengthy cross ss-examination by Attor- ney H. W. Rathbun, who, with Senator B. H. Hewitt. is counsel for Johnson. At torney Rathbun went over the testimony of Sharples very completely, asking him many times when he had first had a suspicion that all was not right about the patent transaction, how many times he had examined the patent, and as to whether or not Sharples had agreed to go into a partnership with Johnson in the matter of promoting the patent. Sharples testified that he had agreed to look after getting patterns of the patent
 
 to pay half of the cost. Sharples claim ed on Jan. 29. he asked Johnson to lpay S56, half of the price of the patterns. This was at Johnson's home Johnson said he would come to Sharples' house and see the patents but Johnson never came On March 2 the witness went to Attorney Walkers office to meet John son to get Johnson to give the patent number and pay the SS5 or return the S350 paid for the patent.
 When Johnson and Sharples met on the way to the office, Johnson said he was so busy that he would like to turn the whole thing over to Sharpes. Sharples answered that the whole thing was no use to him if there was no patent num- Der.
 Attorney Rathbun ended his cross-ex- animation about 33o o'clock. After a short recess, Senator Cornelous C. Costello, of Groton, a witness for the defense, was called to the witness stand out of order by the defense by permission of State Attorney Hull. Senator Costello said he had known Mir Johnson for Is years and his reputation as a peaceful and law-abiding citizen was on a pa1 with the general average.
 Edward s. Doton of New London, ar insurance agent, was called to the stand by the state. Attorney Walker has 6 desk in the office of Mir. Doton in the Plant building in New London. Mir. Do ton said he saw Sharples and Johnson 1T Attorney Walkers office on two occa sions. Once In the fall of 1920, Mir. Do ton overheard a conversation betweer Sharples and Johnson about drawing LII contract over a patent in whicf Sharples was to have a half interest. II the spring of 1921 there was another con versation. Attorney Walker told John son to return the 1850 to Sharples. John son said he would do so on a certalr date, the witness said. Johnson did no deny that he had received the money. John Walker of New London, an at | torney with an office in the Plant build | ing, was the next witness called by tn

ATTORNEY SAYS JOHNSON PROMISED
 TO GIVE $50 BACK TO SHARPLES

state. He said that when he drew the papers for Sharples and Johnson was tho first time he had ever seen eluher of the two men. Attorney Walker sald Johnson and Sharples wanted him to draw up an agreement in which Sarples was to pay S350 for a half-interest in q patent that Johnson said he had obtaln- ed in 1919. At that time Johnson said he would show Sharples the patent the next day. Johnson could not tell the number. of the patent. It was described in the agreement as a patent granted in 1919 and known as side contortion movement for Ford automobile. Sharples at this time said he had known Johnson for about a month and he thought him honest and was willing to have the agreement drawn without the patent number. Sharples paid Attorney Walker $15 TOT drawing the contract, but this was the only money paid at this meeting The contracts were deliv- cred to Sharples and Johnson and they went out togethe-.
 In the latter part of February, Attor- ney Walker testified. he saw Sharples again. Before this Harry Graham of the Groton Iron Works had seen Attor- ney Walker in reference to these matters and in consequence of this had written to Johnson requesting him to bring to the office any documents he might have rel ative to the patent. Later the attorney said he saw Mrs. Sharp1es.
 In response Johnson passed him a let ter, which MT. Walker said was from the patent office regarding an entirely different patent than that in this case Johnson admitted this was so, Mir. Wal ker said, and also admitted he had nev. CT got the patent on the "side-contor- tion" nor made application for 1t. Ac- cording to Mir. Walkers testimony. he then told Johnson that he was in a se- rious position as he had taken money for something he had naver had. Attor- ney Walker demanded that Johnson bring S420 to his office at the earliest possible moment. Johnson's answer tc this was that he was willing to turtl over the whole thing to Sk@rples, bu Mir Walker told him hh had nothing tc turn over. This meeting was on Wed l nesday, MT. Walker testified. and John son said he would return the money b. Tuesday and possibly by Friday.
