Bridgeport, Conn.,, Dec. 3 = GU p = The superior court trial of c Leroy Kemp, former state highway appraiser, was in weekend recess today after hearing testimony of Thomas N. Cooke, Greenwich real estate broker, he shared $32,8l4 commissions with the accused.
 Cooke, indicted with Kemp and six others on charges of conspiring illegally split fees, derived from the $25 100000 Merritt Parkway land sales, said the arrangement was pro- posed by Kemp but that neither one of them believed they were doing wrong.
 He identified records of 19 tram sections in which the state alleged that commissions were divided and explained that most of the checks given the appraiser as his half of the fees were made out to '.cash. at Kemps suggestion.
 Defense Counsel John Keogh ask ed the broker:
 Did it enter your mind that whatever business you were doing with MT. Kemp was wrong?"
 "It did not" Cooke replied.
 The broker said he and Kemp had worked together on real estate tram sections before the latter became state appraiser under an agreement whereby they would split commis- Sions on any Head" furnished by Kemp.
 During the parkway negotiations. he said. Kemp described to him the proposed route and said he would give me some names on the route if would accept them"
 Kemp, he testified, was to receive share of the commissions from the sales" on the same basis as We always worked"
 The agent, he said, never intro duced him to any of the property owners but merely furnished thelr names.
