 News Seeps Out
 Information seeping from an un- official but reliable source late yes- terday was to the effect that some of the vouchers concerning sales of cars to officials and to the city, have been falsifed." It was alleg- ed that purchases of cars have been made to appear as purchase of tires and accessories.
 Some of the city officials whose cars are alleged to be within the category of this latest twist in transactions under scrutiny have appeared as witnesses, it was re- marked. Others will be called, it was indicated. How many transac- tionS, the number of cars, was not made known.
 During yesterday two officials of the concern, Henry Delvy, former employe of Geghan- -Allerton Co.,, Inc, and Edward A. Madison, Jr., secretary treasurer of Geghan Mo- tors, Inc, appeared at the court house, presumably as witnesses. They had been summonsed before and had brought records to the jury room. A number of records of the concern were brought by truck to the courthouse at noon yesterday.
 Reported Gone
 Soon after the two auditors re- turned and reported that other rec ords were missing. It was learned that the prosecutor wanted the rec ords to check against city records of purchases to determine whether a proper accounting of the car sales and purchases appeared.
 Prosecutor Alcorn is understood to have delayed the reconvening until mot later than 10 o'clock Wednes- day" because he must attend meet ing of the pardons board on Monday and appear ill court at Hartford Tuesday for trial of an important case.
 A box, believed to contain other records, was brought to the court house by Albert Johnson, of the Waterbury Trust company, at about 4 o'clock yesterday and, within the hour this box and two similar con- tainers, were taken away by an Alcorn auditor.

Santalucia also known as Frankie Burns" head of the Connecticut Supply company, pres- ently, and for some time, doing con- tracting work for the city, was at the courthouse both sessions yester- day.
