Attorney Healey was again on his feet. ''It's less than one half of three months difference" he said. Then as Alcorn turned, Healey con- tinued. 'At least when I make a mistake I admit it." To which Aicorn retorted, "Wsil, 'it wasn't-it was only half of three months."
 The day after the check was |cashed, Brown testified. the account
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-17

Amounts coming back" from pay ments made to John s. Johnston of New York by the city of Waterbury during the years of the alleged con- spiracy to defraud the city, were subject of sensational testimony by States Accountant Warren M. Brown in the Waterbury conspiracy trial.
 Payments of city funds to Mayor Frank Hayes in excess of his salary, and use of treasurer,s checks to cover" vast payments to Philip Cop- peto and the Abrigador Digger, were also delved into by Brown during a lively afternoon session.
 Over-expenditures of the appro- priations for the mayors department during the years between 193O and 1885 aggregated 5000, Brown esti- mated. Records of many of the pay ments are unavailable, he testified, but he alleged that they were inn properly charged and improperly paid.
 T intend to connect it with the facts showing checks going down, amounts coming back and the in ference that can be drawn" shouted Alcorn during an argument over the admissibility of testimony concern ing payments to Johnston, New York broker and defendant. <. Two-Thirds Withdrawn Brown testified yesterday after noon that about $211,247 was paid Johnston during the eight years, 1930-1937. By tracing payments, Brown claimed that he was able to show that deposits of city checks in a New York bank by Brown was always followed within week, by the withdrawal of 2-3 of the amount of the check.
 In two instances, Brown said he was able to trace checks for two of those withdrawals back to the Wa terbury Trust company.
 'Is there anyway to tell who got the money then?" asked Alcorn.
 "No, Sir," was, the reply. Each time city check was de- posted in the New York bank re- ferred to, in the name of Johnston, Brown stated that his account was either very low or over drawn.
 The gand jury charged that John ston received more than $19O,OOO from the city, and split it with city officials.
 "Of Record"
 Of the 5000 allegedly overdrawn in the Mayors appropriation, an item of $385 was noted for 1881. Accompanying the record of the payment in the city books was 8 notation, for official entertain ment." In addition, was the note, keep of the books until after the election"
 The notation was in the handwrit- ing of James P. Purcell, city ac- countant.
 Other payments bore the notation, Not to be posted until September D. J. L." according to Brown. Other charges related to payments to Mayor Hayes were made against the appropriation for court costs and sheriffs fees, interest on floating debt and surplus resource sinking fund, Brown related. Warrants payable sheets contain ing records of the payments were missing, he said.
 Along with reference to payment to Mayor Hayes in 1881, was record of payments to Johnston, Judge John F. McGrath, Carl Olsen and

 Tracing Payment OF Checks

The more important portions of MT. Browns testimony today fol- lows:
 o. I want to call your attention to credit in Johnston'S account on or about December g, 1893.
 A. Yes, sir. There is a credit slip from the Colonial Trust Company of New York dated December g, 1883 credition $200 to Jollnston's ac- count in advance of check on the treasury of the city of Waterbury, $7,500, the advance being $200. That $2OO is credited on the ledger ac- count of the Colonial Trust Com pany of J. S. Johnston on Decem- Der 8, 1893. There is credit slip also dated the same, check on the city of Waterbury, Connecticut. Citi- zens & Manufacturers National Bank. Waterbury, Connecticut amount $7,50O less advance l2/23 /3a $2OO less interest, $.10, $7,299.9o.
 Q. What was the balance of the account before that?
 A. On December g, the date the $2OO was advanced there was ball. ance of $18.Ol. On December 26 date of the balance of the check for $7,5O0 was credited, the balance was then $81.95. That $7,500 was a city of Waterbury check paid by the Citizens & Manufacturers Bank on December 26, charged on the books of the city on date of December 30 1883, charged to the account of in- terest on floating debt.
