Solved! Identity of Mysterious Witnesses at Grand ury Hearing Established
 Reporters
 at Ease.

Mystery men" who invaded the third floor sanctum of the grand jury at the courthouse yesterday noontide, were identified later in the day as accountants by Warren M. Brown, official accountant of Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn, director of the probe. They were not subpoenaed to testify before the jury.
 When the two men entered the courtroom, local and out-of-toWn reporters were ct loss as to their identity. Speculations hit new highs, as the day wore on, and the two strangers failed to reappear, and as their identity had not been established. Reporters were sure of only one thing, and that was the fact that the men were not residents of Waterbury.
 Late in the afternoon, as MT. Brown left the building on a mis- sion with Detective George L. Greer, the question of identity of the two men was put before him. He readily stated that the two were members of his staff of ac- countants, but when their names were sought he declined to be of further assistance.
 Since the return of controllers records from their Hartford place of custody by MT. Acorn to the local courthouse, the accountants must work here to complete their audit of the books. Their audit which was started immediately after the records were impounded, is expected to be even more com-. plete than any which has been completed to date.
 Browns report will be made only to Prosecutor Alcorn, at whose order he started the audit. Similar performances have been conducted by Brown in previous investiga- tions lead by Alcorn. Brown will undoubtedly be called as a witness before the grand jury before the probe grows much older.

Sections To Be Razed Pending Negotiations
 To Dispose Of Land
New England Watch Plant on South Main Street Scene of New Actvity-White Wells Plant On Bank
 Street Also Passing Out of Picture

Passing of one of Waterbury's most famous industrial landmarks, the factory where once were made the internationally h. gersoll watches, was in the making today. Workmen started to rage a considerable section of the old New England Watch company, and, more latterly, the Waterbury Watch com pany, factory on Benedict street, East and West Dover streets.
 Industrial Properties, Inc, ob- tained permit for the demolish- ment of two sections of the more than half-century old buildings from the office of Building Inspec- tor Patrick J. Carlin. Details of the permit reveal only that two sec- tions, one 30 by 12o feet, the other 60 by 70 feet, will be razed.
 Purpose Explained
 But Richard w. Van Riper, presi- ident of Industrial Properties, Inc, revealed the purpose of the project and what is intended.
 We are demolishing all but the southern wing of the plant because it's structure is not suitable for modern manufacturing and .ye ex- pect to sell the land" he said. MT. Van Riper added that the type of buildings of the old watch company factory are too lightly constructed for modern purposes. There would be no market for the buildings by any concern which planned man. ufacturing enterprise in Waterbury.
 One section will remain, however, presumed to be a more modern ad- dition to the older plant This sec- tion is tenanted by the Waterbury Plumbing Supply company and the company plans making numerous Improvements to the property, it was related.
 A portion of the plant which to- day falls under the demolito on plans is that of the executive offices, a three-story brick structure with tow CTS and gables, once vine-covered and a pride of an older generation of Waterburians in the sense of the city's industrial prestige. Its repu- tasion as the center of manufacture of the watch which came to be krown over the world as the finger soil Dollar Watch, caused many from far places to visit Waterbury for tours of inspection of the plant.

Industrial Landmark Home of Famous Watch, Passing

from probate in the estate of the late Estelle Gould. The trial opened late Wednesday before Judge Mc- Evoy and the jury. A verdict is ex- pected by Tuesday afternoon.
 The appeal is from the refusal of Judge Dennis J. Slavin to admit to probate document purported to be the last will and testament of Mrs. Gould. The will left nothing to her husband, George Gould. In previ- ous will, however, the woman is said to have left everything to her husband. The St. Paul M. E. church was chief beneficiary under the new will, which was drawn at the New Haven hospital.

the later addition to the south wing, the workmen will do their raging. taking down the large chimney at the extreme end of tn, plant. All of this building was considered most modern a half-century ago and pie lures of the property brought it rec ogr ition in many of the larger cities where salesmen travelled with the goods from Waterbury.
 Along with news of this passing of one landmark, is the raging of the old White & Wells Mfg. Co.,, plant on Bank street. The firm moved it's operations to the Bridgeport plant some time ago and now workmen are dismantling the brick and stone building which has been part of Bank street commerce for many years.
