 Miss Winship entered the church with her uncle, Governor Blanton Winsrip, who gave her in marriage.
 The bride wore the wedding gown of her grandmother, Mrs. Emory Winship, who gave her in marriage. and gold brocade of the period 1860. Her veil was the rose point wedding veil worn by her mother, Mrs. Emory Winship, junior. She carried an old fashioned bouquet.
 Miss Pauline Wright, daughter of Colonel Wright, commanding officer of the 65th regiment was maid of honor and Mrs. John Barkman Stanley, the matron of honor; both wore gowns in the style of 1860.
 Colonel E. s. Hayes, U. s. army, retired, father of Lieut.. Hayes was best man and the ushers were Lieutenants John B. Stanley, George L. Eatman, Emory A. Lewis, Harold A. Brookhart, Harry G. Roller and William H. Hendickson.' As the bride and groom left the church, they walked through the arch of sabers, held by the ushers, the colorful and picturesque custom in military Wed- dings.

Hayes of Worcester, Mass, and the late Frances Nelson Borden. He is the grandson of Mrs. M. E. N. Bor- den, who has made her home with him since his graduation, and Of Mrs. Ellen E.

 The reception following the cere- mony was at La Furtaleza, the governors palace. The wedding par ty received the guests in the gar den, in setting of tropical plants and flowers, with the soft strains of music coming from an unseen or chestra of stringed instruments.
 The brides cake was the center piece for a beautifully appointed table of silver and lace.
 Never has San Juan known a more interesting occasion not only because of the popularity of the bride and groom, but because of the great es- teem and devotion felt for Governor Winship.
 Following the reception, the new ly married couple left on a wedding trip about the Island.

Asserts he can eat anything now without a sign of distress from in- digestion, gas, heartburn, bloated feeling and other troubles since Vsndol relieved constipation.
 Here is interesting news-good news, for every person in this city who suffers from indigestion, gas in the stomach, lump in throat, acid risings, cramps and other symptoms when caused by constipation. Read what a reliable citizen right here at home says Vendol did to relieve these troubles, then if you suffer the same way, do as he did, that is take Vendol and enjoy the same grand relief.
 MT. Adolph Fairchaus, glass bender at the Eclipse Glass Co.,. and a resident of Thomaston, Conn, near Waterbury. said: Its grand feeling to eat what you want and know you won't pay for it by suf- fering later. For time was ac- tually afraid to eat what wanted. Seemed most everything turned against me and caused cramps, gas, bioated feeling, acid risings, and shortness of breath.
 The quantities of gas would crowd my heart causing heartburn, and any extra exertion made me short of breath. I often had head aches, and a severe pain in my shoulder disturbed many a nights sleep.
 q know now that all these trou- bles were due to constipation be- cause after had been taking Ven- dol a short while 1t relieved my constipation like nothing else I had

CO FTauK J. "BurLS 0auLaIuCla anu the H. w. Conner Company.
 Amounts in question in the O'Con- nor case were $500 in 1930 and two items of $475 each in 1897. The amounts should not have been in cluded in his schedule of alleged extra payments to the corporation counsel, the accountant admitted.
 He qualified his admissions with the statement, If your figures are correct, MT. Cassidy"
 No $6 An Hour
 To which MT. Cassidy replied, T think I can add - and I don't get $6 an hour"
 As the argument over figures con- tinued and Brown continued to quail fly his admission of error in addi- tion with the statement, If your figures are correct" Cassidy shouted. with gesture, "All right, get the blackboard"
 In almost merciless fashion, At torney Slade pinned Brown to ad- missions of charges against the state for services since February, 1888, when he first entered the case.
 Showing his discomfort under cross-examination, Brown at one time during the financial probe shouted, Maybe you will take what I'm taking for $6 an hour, MT. Slade." I"
 If I could stretch my conscience like you, perhaps I would," Slade responded.
 Services Set at S45,51S.48
 On the basis of $6 an hour for his own services and $4 an hour for as- sistants, Brown computed yesterday that services since February, 1888, are valued at $48,518.48. Of this amount he has already received $26,51714. He could not tell ac- curately yesterday how much of the sum total would be paid by him to assistants, who receive $50 and $2.00 an hour.
 Brown became further perturbed when Slade asked him if he expected to receive extra compensation for being subjected to cross-examina- tion. Brown said that he had no reason to believe, at another point, that he would not be paid for his later services at the same rate he had received earlier.
 Putting questions to Brown con- corning his former employment in Hartford in 1928, Slade asked, You were discharged from this firm for making too many mistakes, weren't you?"
 "No," shot back Brown, T re-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-09

signed my employment there"
 "That is," continued Slade, "You were permitted to avoid the stigma of discharge, weren't you?"
 absolutely mo-" replied Brown.
 Don't you remember that you employers told you that you camt to conclusions too fast and you made too many mistakes?" contin. ued the fiery Slade.
 Brown Denies Claim
 "He never did! That is not true!a roared Brown.
 Brown also denied the inference of Slade that in "Warner case tried by Alcorn, the accountant had made an error of $30,O00. He also denied that work he completed for the firm of Goodwin Beach, Hart ford, had to be done over by an- other accounting firm.
 After Brown had testified that since July, 1888, he has sent no bills to the state for services rendered. Slade questioned a notation on his books indicating invoice rendered December IA, 1888.
 You don't know why you made the entry that you rendered ar invoice December IA, 1938?" asked Slade.
 Rendered No Invoice
 T did not render an invoice" shouted Brown.
 "You did not want to falsify you: books, did you?" asked Slade, as Brown continued that he did net know what the entry was made for.
 q did not render an invoice" shouted Brown.
 "But the entry you made was false?" charged Slade.
 "The notation means nothing" claimed Brown.
 eff it isn't true it must be false" claimed Slade, as Brown reiterated, it means nothing"
 "So, it's neither true nor false" shouted Slade.
 "No." answered Brown.
 "You say it's neither true nor false, is that correct. Which is it, true or false?" demanded Slade.
 Neither" responded Brown.
 Asks About Extra Payments
 Slade demanded to know from Brown whether Brown had included alleged extra payments to two Re- publican assessors (not defendants) in his schedules of irregular pay- ments.

Attorney Cassidy cross-examining Warren M. Brown:
 @. I'm calling your attention to the so-called petty cash, MT. Brown. In this analysis sheet, states ex- hibit 453-you have it before you? A. Yes, sir.
 @. You charged MT. O'Connor with certain payments made to him for petty cash. Isn't that correct?
 A. That's right.
 @. Now, do you know what the procedure was with reference tc the payment of petty cash to MT O'Connor?
 A. No record available to show the procedure, MT. Cassidy.
 o. You heard MT. Purcell testify did you not?
 A. Yes, I did.
 Purcell Testimony
 o. Don't you remember that he testified that the procedure was this, that at the beginning of each year $400 was advanced to MT. O'on- nor for petty cash and that when that $400 was used, he accounted for it; then another $400 was advanced to him and each time he accounted and then at the end of the year there was a final account, so that he accounted at the end of the year for the original $400. Don't you re- member his testimony?
 A. Yes, do.
 @. I wonder if you discussed with him about that proposition - the way MT. O'Connor's cash was ham, dled?
 A. No, didn't.
 o. You remember that was what he testified about?
 A. Yes, I do.
 @. And you remember that he said MT. O'Connor had accounted for his petty cash during these number of years?
 A Yes
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-09

doesn't mean to you that the ac- count balances so far as that $4OO is concerned?
 A. That doesn't show what money was spent during the year. It shows that $400 balances, yes.
 @. With your acquaintance with MT, Purcell. would you say that if MT. O'Connor hadn't accounted for the various amounts given him dur ing the year that MT. Purcell would allow that ledger to stand?
 A. I don't think that is a fair question to ask, MT. Cassidy.
 e. Well, if MT. O'Connor failed to account for his petty cash ad- vancement during the year, your knowledge of MT. Purcell's ability wouldn't you say that that unpaid balance for the amount that he failed to account for during the year should appear on the books of the city?
 A. I should say that should, yes
 @. You searched the books and you can't find that Charles O'Con- nor owes any petty cash advanced during the year?
 A. I can't find any voucher to show that petty cash at all.
 @. If he failed to account for his petty cash at the end of the year, wouldn't it appear on the books of the City of Waterbury that there was debt owed by MT. O'Connor to the City of Waterbury for the pet ty cash he failed to account for?
 A. No.
 Wasn't It Purcell's Job
 @. That was MT. Purcell's job, wasn't it, to take care of it?
 A. The petty cash was charged to the account the disbursement was made from.
 0. Wasn't that MT. Purcen's job?
 A. I have no knowledge.
 @. Didn't he tell you so?
 A. No. sir.
 @. Didn't you hear him testify?
 A. He didn't testify to that.
 @. MT. Brown, isn't it a fact that this credit item that apepars at the end of every year-would you con- slider that the beginning of the next year that MT. O'Cononr would get an advancement of an additional $4O0 if he had failed to account for the petty cash that came into his possession in the year previous?
 A. don't know as to that.
 o. If MT. O'Cononr had failed to account for petty cash that came in- to his possession in 1880, would you consider it reasonable that he would be advanced in 1881?
 A. I don't know what the pro- cedure was.
 Q. Whatever you learned is what somebody told you? :.
 A. What learned about what?
 @. About the failure of MT. o. Connor to account for petty cash.
 A. I have no voucher.
 Reads Purcell Testimony
 MT. Cassidy then read portions of MT. Purcell's testimony on cross : examination.
 @. Now, that is the source upon which you found your conclusion as appears on 453 that Charles O. Connor has not accounted for his petty cash. The source of informa- tion is that you have not seen his petty cash reports.
 A. I haven't seen the petty cash vouchers nor the cancelled checks.
 o. And because you haven't, you charged Charles O'Connor with a
