Mackenzie Supports
 Williamson's Evidence
Mayor Hayes Not Present When Money Was Paid For Lobbying Stated Witness Yesterday Afternoon

Miss Elsie Fa1rmound. historian at the hospital.
 Mackenzie said that he did not recognize the young lady, claiming he had seen several nurses when he was at the Danbury hospital.
 Hospital Records
 The records were marked for iden- tification as court adjourned for the day.
 The records were seen as the basis for more thorough cross-ex- animation of Mackenzie today.
 He denied, to question of Mur- rays yesterday that he had been insane at the hospital. He claimed that his dope habit had been brok- en since July, 1888.
 Asked if he had been insane a year ago, the witness replied, Not to my knowledge.
 He said, T drove my own car there," when asked if he had not been hysterical upon entering the hospital last year.
 It was noticed yesterday that the defense made no move to obtain the grand jury testimony transcript of Mackenzie. In past cases they have been successful in obtaining the testimony of Williamson and Levy, who admitted they lied before the jury.
 McMahons testimony was brief. He told of driving Leary to Dan- bury court house in December, 1887; to Bethel (where Mackenzie resides) in 1888; and of meeting Simon J. Alderman of New Haven Ca defend- anD on Liberty street in April, 1938 then driving Alderman and Leary out the Prospect road.
 Alderman met them on Liberty street, the former chauffeur said, when he called him at the Dia- mond Ginger Ale company at re- quest of Leary. and requested that he bring Leary's income tax blanks with him.
 Admits Split
 On direct examination by Alcorn. Mackenzie corroborated the testi- mony of Williamson, to the effect of splitting fees of $58,4O0 with Leary during 1885 and 1887.
 His testimony differed, however, to the extent that he claimed he was not present at every payoff. He went to work for McKesson & Rob- bins in 1895, the witness said, af- ter seeing George Dietrich and F. Donald CoSter, and asking for a job".
 His salary was $75 weekly and he was paid 10 cents mile travel ing expense when he used his car, the witness said. His job was to contact druggists and Do what ever MT. Dietrich asked me to do."
 In December, 1888, he severed his connections with McKesson & Rob- bins, "involuntarily"
 The witness related to the court that at one time after his employ ment by the huge drug firm, he noted that they were getting no business from a NewtoWn state inSti- tuition. T went over to see what the trouble was-and found it," he said. Alcorn did not call on him to elaborate on the subject.
 Meets Leary
 Mackenzie stated that Hayes in- troduced him to Leary in 1885. when the lieutenant governor brought the controller to the Crows Nest of the capitol, by appointment. Both at that time asked him to sup ervise Waterbury legislation, but no mention of fees was made, Mac kenzie said.
 Yvn ,fro T iats "A son testimony, Mackenzie said, There was not much to do." He described the Waterbury legislation program as containing mot wrinkle anywhere. He substanti- ated the Williamson testimony that he never appeared in the open be- fore any committee on bills.
 Mackenzie blamed Williamson far arranging the conference with Leary in early 1887, at which the $5,00O was split. Williamson, in his tes- timony, blamed Mackenzie.
 Their testimony also differed with regard to the parking of the car. They agreed that they drove here in Mackenzie's car be- cause the latter didn't Hike to ride with Williamson's driving" But Mackenzie claimed they parked at the railroad station and took taxi to Leary'S office, and Williamson said they parked at The Elton. They failed to agree on the place where they had eaten that day.
 Mayor Not Present
 Mackenzie agreed with William son that Hayes was not present when the money was split. He claimed, however, that Hayes was present when Olsen brought the check and money to the office Williamson said Hayes had left be- fore Olsen arrived.
 He stressed the nervousness" of himself and Williamson at the meeting in Danbury with Leary, at which the latter allegedly told Will liamson that the records were "out of the way".
 At that meeting, Mackenzie said, Leary told them that ia man in the controllers office might have made a note of all payments and might make trouble" This undoubtedly L,s Learys reference to James P. Purcell, chief accountant in the con- troller's office, who has testified for the state. and showed records he kept of payments made.
 We were nervous" Mackenzie said, Wondering what would hap pen"
 He told of meeting Carl D. Olsen at Bethel, and on that occasion, he claimed, Olsen told him of the story he was expected to tell before the grand jury. Mackenzie told Ol- sen "rThe oYl1v tbif10 t0 dO is tell
