peared this morning have appar. ently been excused for the day.
 LawIOr Recently III
 Senator Lawlor, not yet com. pletely recovered from the effects of recent serious attack of pneu- monia was the first of the parade of witnesses to appear. Met by three reporters as he walked slowly toward the court elevator, he ad- mitetd that he was not feeling well. He smiled as he stopped tc chat with the newspapermen, how ever.
 Except for the presence of Supt of Police Roach, it might definitely be said today that the jury is con- tinuing its ventures into the lobby ing investigation. Supt. Roach ap. peared at about 11:30 and departed at noon. It is definitely known that he was before the jury.
 Bears Out Prediction
 His presence bears out a predic- tion made last week by The Demo- crat that officials of the police and fire department would be sub- poenaed to answer questions which would be asked by the jurors. Nc fire official has been called as yet but there are indications that al least one will be subpoenaed.
 Senator Lawlor, president pro tempore of the senate, is known as the dean of the senate" He has served seven terms as senator from the fifteenth district, and in addi- ton is chairman of the state boxing commission.
 The jurors might be interested ir answers which Senator Lawlol might be able to give them with re- gard to activities of the senate f. nance committee, senate committee on public health and safety, and senate committee on road, rivers and bridges during the past two sessions of the general assembly. Senator Lawlor is member of those con- mittees, chairman of the last named.
 Stay Interrupted
 His stay at the grand jury room was broken three times before noon. He arrived at 10:18, went out in company with Detective George l.. Greer at 1O:55; went out again at 11:18, returned at 11:30; went out again almost immediately, and re- turned at 11:50.
 Senator Spiro, who was questioned Tuesday was also member of the senate committee on public health and safety.
 County Commissioner There
 Senator Daly, present New Haven county commissioner; past state administrator of the Works Prog ress Administration, was chairman of the senate appropriation com- mittee during last years general as- Sembly. Today was his first visit to the courthouse on grand jury busi- ness. but he has been here on nu- merouS occasions to inspect the courthouse. AS a county commis- sioner this duty is within his scope of office.
 After 1915 today, Senator Daly was the only one or the three i'm pcrtant witnesses remaining in the county building. Supt. Roach left at 12 noon and Senator Lawlor left, presumably for the day, at 1915.
 Eupt. Roach smiled genially as he left the elevator which had trans ported him from the jury room. He remarked to neWSpapermen what a busy day they were having, and passed on some information regard ing drowning in the north end section this morning.
 No Assistants
 For the second consecutive day, Special Prosecutor Alcorn was hold ing forth alone, as far as assistants were concerned. His son, Hugh M., Jr. is reported to be suffering from the grip, and his other assistant, Harold E. Mitchell, is busy on an- other case.
 He appeared quite happy as he arrived this morning, however, and looked none the worse for his tire some session of yesterday and last night.
 Senator Daly emerged from the jury room at o'clock, and it is be- heved that he has completed teSti- flying at least for today. Reporters remarked to him that he was cool looking after coming from the jury. Why shouldn't be cool?" was his retort as he renewed acquaintances.
 Many Surprises
 Surprise after surprise was regis tered by the grand jury during the session yesterday afternoon, and all so in the night session which lasted until 9:30 and which was a surprise in itself.
 The biggest question of the day is in connection with the appear ance of Mrs. Hortense Levy and Mrs. Frances Rosenblatt, wife and mother-in-law, respectively, of At torney Edward G. Levy of New Haven, who received almost $1O0,OOO
