This case is one of the most important and widely discussed ever to come before the Windham county superior court, and the court room at Willimantic is ex- pected to be crowded during its hear ing. Practically the whole floor of the court building in Willimantic Is to be used for this case. The mayors office and common council chamber will be available for attorneys. Special ar arrangements will be made for report CTS in the court room. At least doz- en newspapers and press associations have applied for reservations.
 The case will he prosecuted by At torney Samuel B. Harvey of Willi- mantle, assisted by States Attorney Howard C. Bradford of Putnam. Five attorneys will represent the defense. The state is expected to call some sixty witnesses, and the defense more than forty.
