 First of Array

First of Array
 He was the first of the array of witnesses to appear at the court house today, arriving shortly after 10 o'clock and going directly to the grand jury room. Newspapermen rode in the elevator with him, and as they started to get off at their "deadiine", the second floor of the courtroom, MT. Purcell apparently forgot himself and started to get off with them. He was reminded, how ever, that his floor was the next.
 No official of the Connecticut Supply company was seen in any area near the court house today. Frankie (Santalucia) Burns and his Office Manager Joseph Moore, had failed to appear until noon at least.
 G. Edward Palmer Appears
 Second of the witnesses to appear was G. Edward Palmer, president of the Office Supply Company. He walked briskly to the elevator and buzzed the signal, then stood hum ming, with hands on hips, and top coat thrown open. Are you MT Palmer, he was asked by report CT. "Yes, I am." was the reply. Are you going to the top floor under subpoena?" was the next question. Again the answer was "Yes." No further interrogation transpired, as the reporter adhered to the rules laid down by Judge Ernest A. h. glis.
 He Comes Back
 Palmer was Whisked to the top floor, and he proceeded immediate ly toward the section of the build ing where the jury holds reign. Within two minutes, however, he returned to the elevator door, was lifted to the ground floor, and pro ceeded out of the building.
 Whether or not he will return to- day is another matter for specula- tion. There is little doubt, however, that he will return when the jury is less busy, or has finished for the time with questioning MT. Purcell. Miss Carolyn Cozza, secretary treas urer of the Office Supply Company has also appeared at the court house, at an earlier date, under sub poena issued by the grand jury.
 Hayden May Not Testify
 There is no evidence to indicate that Martin J. Hayden testified to- day. When he arrived at about l0:30 he went, in company with Detective Greer, immediately to the grand jury floor. During this time MT. Pur- cell was testifying, and MT. Hayden waited in the hall. When MT. Hay den left the building at 11:21 he was without his book, and MT. Purcell was still on the top floor, indicating that MT. Hayden had spent no time in the jury room at all.
 More of the mystery which has followed the investigation since its inceptive days was brought about today by the introduction of a candy box into the picture.
 One of the accountants of War ren M. Brown, who entered the building yesterday and whose iden- tity was not immediately ascertain ed, carried the candy box when he entered the building again this morning. He stood at the top floor elevator door until MT. Purcell en- tered, and then passed the box to that individual. Purcell carried the box directly toward the jury room, and no more of it was seen during the day.
 Indications to date are that the grand jury has dwelled principally on the construction of the control ler's office during the past eight years. Principal witnesses have been Sherwood L. Rowland, and James F. Purcell.
 Question About Burns Whether or not Frankie Burns was called into the jury room is a matter for much speculation. Most of his time at the court house was undoubtedly spent sitting in the chairs of the waiting room. MT Acorn refused to say last night as
