jam J. Roach was called March "A for a short period of questioning and Commissioner Edward Downs made an appearance yesterday aft ernoon.
 Trust Co. Officer
 Another new witness who ap- peared before the jury today was Ferdinand Bachmann, assistant secretary of the Waterbury Trust company.
 The unidentified man" described in earlier paragraphs was not a wit ness, it was learned from Special Prosecutor Alcorn at 1 o'clock. He undoubtedly was affiliated with the revenue department, as several others of this department have ap- peared on previous occasions.
 MT. Olsen will be a witness this afternoon. He left with Detective Hickey at l o'clock and they are believed to have lunched together
 Dunn, Frank Excused
 MT. Dunn and MT. Frank were excused shortly before noon, and there is every indication that their time in the court house to date has been spent in sitting outside the grand jury room. They are also subject to recall.
 Ex-Mayor Guilfoile was expected to be called at Il o'clock this morn- ing. It is possible that he will be reached as a witness this after noon. Although the jury convened at 10 o'clock this morning, no wit nesess are believed to have entered the room until an hour or more later. Whether they were deliber- ating some question, or reviewing evidence gathered on previous days is a matter for conjecture. Judge Ernest A. Inglis, who is directing the judicial stages of the investiga- tion will arrive at the local court next Tuesday.
 Waterbury Matters
 Matters before the jury in the af- ternoon session were undoubtedly only in connection with Waterbury affairs, a review of the witnesses in- dicates. The morning session, which showed as witnesses Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford and Attof- ney J. Frederick Baker of New Ha- ven, evidently was, on a different trend of investigation.
 Ex-Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile was not reached yesterday afternoon, and his return today was promised last night by Special Prosecutor AL corn. Similar circumstances per- vail in the case of Frederick T. Dalton, new Democratic member of the board of finance.
 Several surprises were registered yesterday by the positions of witt nesseS called. The reason for their appearance is beyond any reason able speculation.
 Puzzle Over Presence
 Chief among these was Edward Downs, newest addition to the board of police commissioners. He is secretary of the Blake & John son Go. Harold F. White, presi- dent of the Good Government As- sociation, is treasurer of this com- pany. Since MT. Downs and MT. Dalton have only been members of city board for comparatively short times, their presence presents a puzzle.
 Giles R. Anderson, clerk of the board of assessors; Harry Frank, city hall messenger; and Martin J. Dunn, purchasing agent of the con- troller's office, were the other witnesses of the day. The appear ance of MT. Dunn was his second, but it is doubted that he has yet viewed the inside of the guarded sound-proof chambers of the grand jury.
 Anderson's Quizzing
 Anderson, if he reached the jury room was undoubtedly quizzed along similar avenues to John H. Crary and Thomas A. Shanahan, who ap- peared yesterday. Frank is an- other unidentified cog in the net work which MT. Alcorn is weaving to connect the various mysterious circumstances that percipitated the investigation.
 Mayor Spellacy of Hartford is be- heved to have been excused for the present. This was indicated as he left the building yesterday in company with his executive sec retary, William Linnane. Such is also the case of Attor- ney J. Frederick Baker, who left the building after 2 o'clock. He ap- peared at the morning session, was excused at lunch time, only to re- turn again at o'clock. Fifteen minutes later he left the building and expressed the belief that he would not be recalled.
