 bank, would not contain the names of the payees of checks because they had not been kept Tor the past few years.
 Alcorn replied that Seeley, by hi! own testimony, admitted that ht did not know if the names were be- ing recorded. In addition, he said the bank clerk, Calvin Richardson said that he kept such records.
 Judge Inglis again commented that he believed there was enough connection to form a basis for g reasonable inference" toward ad- mission of the evidence. He said that there was the inference that Olsen obtained the $18,000, that the next day the city checks were cashed, and the $18,000 and the treasurer check was paid out.
 Atty. HeaIey Objects
 Attorney Patrick Healey, continu- ing the argument against the ad- mission of the exhibits, said that there would be no information or the missing tellers' sheets, as to the denomination of the bills paid out
 Attorney Frederick Waterhouse's argument that the papers should not be admitted together was suc- cessful, and despite the claims of Alcorn, Judge Inglis insisted or marking the objects separately.
 The reverse bank record was marked exhibit 312 and the treasur- CT check, 313. Alcorn, arguing that they be marked a single exhibit stated that they constituted a part of the same transaction.
 Should Be Left To Jury
 Judge Inglis said that such should be left to the inference of the jury Attorney Slade asked Judge Inglis to instruct Alcorn that no comments should be made before the jury to the effect that the exhibits were connected.
 You do 1t 50 often," he said, ad- dressing Alcorn, That I thought il advisable to take precautions"
 The two exhibits were then read to the jury.
 Alcorn immediately presented a treasurer check stub book, seeking to have it admitted as an exhibit It was the book from which the check for $118.25 had been drawn and the stub was contained. Defense objections to the admission of the check were sustained.
 Prior to the arguments over the admission of the two exhibits, the session had been one of the dullest of the trial, as Johnston, on the stand, identified hundreds of bank deposit slips and other articles from the Waterbury Trust company per- taining to the account of Santa lucia.
 Few Spectators
 Spectators were at a minimum again today although the atmos- phere in the courtroom was quiet al variance from the humidity suffered yesterday The expectation of addi- tional technical testimony concern. ing records apparently causes the public to lose interest in attending the sessions.
 Johnson's testimony on the stans likens to portion of the lengthy nineteen day stretch put in by City Accountant James P. Purcell. While he was on the stand a large number of checks and documents were placed in evidence.
 Today's session of the trial wal the 64th, and the fact that Johnson is the 41st witness to appear for the state indicates that the list of state witnesses has nearly been completed But the remaining witnesses, espe- cially Warren M. Brown, state &C., countant, will require considerable time on the stand. The trial started i November 29, and 1t has been esti- mated that it will be June before the state rests its case, making way for the presentation of first defense wit nesses.
