that he and Officer Clarence Kumm watched the house several nights and saw number of men go in and come out after staying about 15 minutes.
 On Nov. 14, Sunday night, they saw fifteen men rap on the door. The light went on and a man ad- mitted the company. The light in one of the bedrooms went on and off fifteen times
 Officer Moore testified to assist ins in the raid and Officer Kumm told of the large number of men who called at the house on certain nights this month.
 Supernumerary Officer William ODay testified to his part in the raid. Supernumerary Officer Lu- cas testified that he lives in the neighborhood and knows that young men patronize the house. He also assisted in the raid. He heard someone running up the stairs after Sergeant Ellinger shouted for some one to open the door.
 Ncighbor Ttestifies Kasimir Dobrowolski, who lives across the street from the house, testified that night after night for the past three weeks automobiles have been stopping there. Groups of men go In and stay twenty or thirty minutes The window shades are down and he could not see what was going on in the house.
 The automobiles made so much noise he could not sleep and when he looked out he saw the men and the cars. Sergeant Flynn and Ellin- ger asked him if he knew anything about the place and he told them about the automobiles. That Is how he happened to be in court today.
 Detective Sergeant w. F. McCue testified that Mrs. Ferano told him the morning after the raid at police headquarters that her husband was some place in New York. She did not know exactly where he was. The sergeant went to Waterbury to in vestigate her past record. Attorney Mascola objected to allowing him to tell the result of this investigation.

 Albert Martin of 1o5 Myrtle street
  threatened to ''squear' on Savino unless the latter paid him a bill and Savino promised to pay 1t, but has not done so. He is positive Savino lives off the earnings of immoral women.
 Says He Broke Up Home.
 Attorney McDonough objected and Martin shouted: T tell you McDonough I have trouble In my family on account of him.
 Did he break up your homer" Prosecuting Attorney Wood asked him.
 Yes he did. He had bad house over my store and my wife said l was between them and helping to run that house." Martin replied.
 You have no use for Savino, have you?" Attorney McDonough asked.
 "Yes l have" Martin replied.
 You don't like him, do your" the attorney continued.
 T like myself. I got no use for nobody only myself" Martin replied, hoty.
 "'You wouldn't be here If Savino paid you the bill, would you?" the attorney said.
 "Yes, I would be here if had got the bill or not" he replied.
 Martin said his wife left him last Wednesday because she believes he and Savino were harboring women for immoral purposes. The amount of the bill Savino owes him is slight ly more than s5, Martin said. Saw Inc owns the furniture in the Clinton street house.
 Attorney Mascola said the testi- mony is conflicting with relation to the conversation the police had with Mrs. Ferano during the raid. Officer Grabeck testified to seeing light going on and off yet Dobrowolski, the neighbor, said he could not see any light because the shades were drawn.
 The police had great amount of information concerning the house yet they did not obtain a search warrant. Instead, they crashed down a door and smashed a win 1 dow and violated the constitutional rights of the occupant of the tene- ment. Police should be encouraged in their duty but they should respect the rights of others
 The attorney said he or any other l decent person can have no sympa- | thy for persons who are engaged in ! traffic of women but to all appear 1 ances this house was a home and the police should respect and ob- serve the laws, otherwise nobody is secure in his home. The police in | this case acted improperly by enter ing the house without due process of law.
 Woods Defends Police Prosecuting Attorney Woods de- | tended the police. They were per fectly justified in breaking into the l house. Savino Is "the lowest dive keeper in this city" he said, and the woman is an inmate of house of i'll fame.
 1 Judge Alling denied the motion of l Attorney Mascola for a discharge ! for Mrs. Ferano.
 Attorney McDonough rested Sa-
