came down and proceeded with the blindlfolding.
 Harvey Menard, night boss carder, the next witness called, testified that Gerard had been hanging around for some time at the carding room windows where he could command a clear view Of the bridge over which Duggan would have to pass with the pay roll envelopes When he saw the paymaster coming he went out at once. MT. Menard testified to his having Delegrans gun thrust in- to his face with the order to hold up his hands, then, he said, a movement from, Duggan caused Delgran to lower his gun little and turn to the other corner; in that instant, he said, he saw his chance, and he jumped upon the fel- iow's back, then as Delgran attempted to draw again, one of the shots fired by Mir. Duggan, passed through Delgran' s hand. Witness grabbed Delgran by the leg and held on, when MT Duggan step ped to the door and fired three shots of alarm.
 Gerard testifying to lis innocence said he was in the mill to see his sister, with no intention of being the second star actor in 8 holdup game.
 Judge Brown told Gerard that he did not believe his story, it having all the color of frameup to clear himself from the serious charges which he would have to face equally with Delgran. The chain of evidence pointing to Gerard's guilt is shown in that he knew the lay of the land and was well acquainted with the paymaster's usual custom. He did the spotting from the carding room windows, and tiped off hds accomplice hidden in the tower cellar, that it was time for the heavy work to begin. Then he secreted himself up in a turn of the first tower stairs, until called upon to come down and blindfold ana gag the paymaster. Had not MT. Menard ap- peared just as he did, with his nerve with him, the results might have been other than the fortunate en5ing record ed
 Judge Brown bound both prisoners over to the next term of the criminal superior court under bonds of 5000.
 Both prisoners were at once taken by Officer McDermott to the Norwich jail to await trial

Duggan during the mixup, pleaded guilty to all charges. Gerard, his ac- complice, who was to be ready when needed, swore he was innocent.
 The first witness called was Of1cer John McDermott, lie Iold -W1aL OcCuI- red after he was hurriedly summoned 10 arrest the two yeggunen who were being held by MT. Duggan. Harvey Me nsrd the night boss carder, and Harry Davis. After the arrest, Gerard told the officer that he (Gerard) had been forced at the point of Delgran's pistol to proceed with the gagging and blind folding of the paymaster, after his hands were up and he had been forced into the corner with Delgran's gun in his face.
 Paymaster William Duggan when called to the stand, testified in detail tN his going to the mill, and described the holdup by Delgran in the lower tower entrance.
