you have been working in connec- tion with the work that was done by Kingsley & Company for the city of Waterbury, did you personally at any time handle any of the records or vouchers or papers of the con- troller's office?
 A. did not.
 o. At the time you edited these various reports which you have been telling us about did you rely upon the men that were doing the work in the field?
 A. Of course, did.
 Q. I wish you would tell his hon. or and the jury, in your own words, what took place.
 Tells Hickey
 A. MT. Hickey told me that an investigation had been made in the city of Waterbury and that the grand jury was in sesion and that he would like the men who worked on the audits for the city of Wa terbury to appear before the grand jury to tell when they examined the books and where, when they last saw the books, and he particularly asked that MT. Borgnaes and MT. Troy appear before the grand jury. I then asked MT. Meany to come into my office and told Mir. Hickey that MT. Meaney knew something about the work that had been done in the city of Waterbury and per- haps would be of some assistance. MT. Meany and I talked with MT. Hickey. MT. Greer wasn't in the office but was sitting outside in the reception room.
 Q. When you say office, do you mean your office?
 A. My office. MT. Meany and myself talked with MT. Hickey. MT. Meany suggested that since he knew something about the work that had been done in the city of Waterbury, that perhaps 1t would be advisable for him to accompany MT. Borg naes and MT. Troy and appear be- fore the grand jury. MT. Hickey said that would be very nice and that he would appreciate that. I told MT. Hickey that that was pretty bad time of the year for us to spare any men, but if they would defer the appearance of MT. Meany, Borgnaes and Troy until after the tax period, March 15, that we would appreciate it very much. MT. Hickey said that he would try to arrange that and thought it could be arranged to further appearance until after March 15 but that he would let me know the definite date later.

''WhyHaDe We Been Kept Here SeUen MonthsW Asks Murray

William R. Murray questioned by Attorney Slade:
 e. (Referring to reports) Tn ref erence to all the changes and addi- tions that you have stated you made do you believe them to be proper and appropriate?
 A. I do.
 o. You assume that information that you received as a result of your changes and additions to be correct and proper?
 A. I do.
 o. Did you do any other work for the City of Waterbury?
 A. l did.
 o. What was that?
 A. On December %, 1886, I was in Waterbury and made an examina- ton of the records of the Waterbury Clock Company in connection with manufacturers personal property assessment for the City of Water bury.
 e. Did you make a report on that work?
 A. l did.
 o. Did you do any other work? A. I did.
 @. When?
 A. On August 9 and August l0 1887.
 o. What work did you do?
 A. That was an examination sim liar to the examination made of the

could recall that took place on that occasion?
 A. l have.
 Q. When did you next see Mir Hickey?
 Appeared Before Jury
 A. The next time I saw Mir Hickey was on April l9, the day be- fore I went to Waterbury to appear before the grand jury.
 @. Did you talk with him2
 A. I did.
 @. Tell us what took place.
 A. Well, MT. Hickey came that morning as a result of a telephone conversation that we had the pre- vious day.
 Q. Tell us about that, please.
 A. When MT. Meany appeared in Waterbury, MT. Borgnaes wasn't with him and on the 18th of April the day that MT. Meany first went to Waterbury, MT. Meany called me on the telephone. I understand he asked for MT. Kingsley who wasn't there and so MT. Meany spoke tc me. MT. Meany told me that MT Alcorn had told him, Meany, that MT. Borgnaes had gone to Europe and that MT. Alcorn wanted me tc cable his return. MT. Meany then put MT. Hickey on the telephone.
 Gone to Europe!
 @. Just moment. Have you were disturbing his family and finished now the conversation be- tween MT. Meany and yourself?
 A. That is about all there was to 1t. MT. Meany told me that and said Mir. Hickey was there and wanted to talk to me. He turned the telephone over to MT. Hickey and he told me that Borgnaes had gone to Europe. MT. Hickey said will you cable Borgnaes to come back?" said, T don't know where to cable Borgnaes to come back And he said, Maybe his doctor could tell you where you can cable him. I said, T don't know where his doctor is or what his doctors name is," because the certificate that MT. Borgnaes left in the office MT. Meany had taken to Waterbury with him and MT. Hickey then read the doctors name and address apparently from the certificate he had to me, and I wrote 1t down and I then called it back to MT. Hickey I later found that 1t wasn't exactly correct when the telephone operator tried to get him for me.
 Q. Did MT. Hickey give you the doctors telephone number2
 A. That's right.
 o. And in response to that in- formation, did you try to get him at that number?
 A. I did.
 e. And did you learn that that telephone number wasn't correct?
 A. It wasn't the telephone mum. Der. It was the address. l merely got the address and I had our tele. phone operator look up the tele. phone number for me.
 e. Did you find that address tc

writing, and he said he would b,- glad to do so.
 @. Did he confirm it2
 A. He did.
 Q. Have you this letter2
 A. I have. May say anothe. thing? When MT. Hickey was talk ing to me on the telephone on ths 18th from Waterbury, he also saic that he would like Mir. Kingsley and myself to come up to the granc jury and I told him that we would if we could, but would have to try to arrange our work, and he said he would see me in New York.
 (The letter received from the doctor was then read to the jury.)
 April IS, 193S--W. Murray, GO George H. Kingsley & Company, New York. N. Y. Dear Sir: am writing this letter to you in re- gard to our conversation of today in which you wish to cable MT. E. Borgnaes to return home. ! am determined against this. l am firmly convin ed that some time ago when he complained of a severe palpitation of the heart weakness and shortness of breath, I discovered a true to be pres ent. This condition follows 'ts rheumatic affectati0n of last July and August. His present condition is one where his heart beats very fast, between 160 and l8O beats per mitute. He told me that he had had a good many of these at- tacks during the past month. The first treatment is sedatives and rest. Rest is paramount as these return attacks may easily lead to the exhaustion of the heart. Therefore, I suggested that he take a long rest. A long rest, one that is kert a soIutely separated from all business. Therefore, from the foregoing, you can easily see that I do not wish Mr. Borgnaes to be disturbed from his rest. It is absolutely against my orders. His health is to come first. I trust that I have made this very clear to you. Sincerely, George Herbert Van.

be incorrect9
 A. Yes.
 Q.But you finally located the doc. tor in what way?
 A. The only incorrectness was the street number. From the doctors name and the name of the street the operator was able to determine that it was the same doctor and she got 1t for me.
 c. Proceed, MT. Murray.
 A. That's probably the end of the conversation with MT. Hickey
 o. Did you now tell us all that was said between MT. Hickey and yourself?
 A. Substantially. When I said l didn't know the doctors name, MT. Hickey said, You're not kidding me for one minute" I said, T am not trying to kid you for one minute. I don't know the doctors name or address"
 e. After you got the doctor s name and you finally located him, what if anything did you do? A. telephoned to the doctor.
 c. Will you proceed, please, and tell us what you did after you tele- phoned to him?
 A. I first called up Borgnaes' home and l told his wife that had just been informed that Borg naes was in Europe and was very surprised to hear that.
 o. Did you tell her that?
 A. I did, and I told her that MT. Hickey had asked me to get in touch with his doctor, locate him, and cable for his return. And she said, T have nothing further to add to what I told MT. Hickey" I then telephoned the doctor and told him MT. Hickey's request and he told me that he wouldn't--he didn't say that he had the address-but that T will not give you any informa- ton to recall MT. Borgnaes to the office because his health is very, very poor and 1t would be a den- gerous thing to do that, to tell him. It might be fatal"
 e. Kindly proceed, MT. Murray
 A. I asked the doctor if he would confirm what he had told me in
