Thoms as so-called special advisor to the mayor"
 Former Judge McGrath
 Former City Court Judge John F. McGrath was referred to by the grand jury as another beneficiary of the administration. It was claimed that Gin addition to his regular salary of $5,000 as city court judge he received, according to such information as is available, payments aggregating $39,212 be- tween July, 1881 and May, 1937." His employment was described as irregular, and the expenditures of the money by the city as "unwar- ranted".
 Former Mayor Francis P. Gull foile was said by the grand jury to have been another special coun- sel employed by the mayor without the knowledge, consent or approval of the corporatoin counsel and in violation of the city charter The jury charged that Guilfoile received $37,11092 from the city between 1881 and 1897. Reference to an in- dex for the city charter, for which Guilfoile was paid $6,000, and for which Weisman was paid $5,000, but which was never printed was made.
 Their testimony is expected to be of a highly interesting nature, and the calling of them by the state is surprise on the part of the states attorney.

 AS court opened today for the 67th session of the trial, Carl D.

He stated that he was feeling better, and that the pain which had caused his collapse yesterday was gone.

 More records of the Waterbury Trust Company, which were iden- tified by Albert Johnson before court adjourned early last Friday, were submitted as full exhibits today by Special Prosecutor Alcorn.
 But the 1886 exhibits (eXchange sheets) which had been offered Fri day were reduced to 262. The court had ordered Warren M. Brown to segregate those which were not re- lated to the trial, from those which were necessary.
 Of the 1886 offered Friday, only 262 were offered today, and 1924 were taken out.
 "WhOle Story"

 When the offer of the 1886 sheets was made Friday, defense counsel objected, when Alcorn admitted that they were not all relative. Court was recessed for the week end tc allow Warren M. Brown, states &C., countant to segregate the relevant from the irrelevant.
 The exchange sheets, containing listing of checks coming into the Waterbury Trust company from other banks, include PIT offered for the period May IS, 1892 to April 26, 1883. Of the PIT offered Friday only seven were admitted today.
 Of 105 offered for the period of April 27, 1883 to December 31, 1883, only 13 were admitted today. Of 301 for 1884 offered, AS were admitted, of 302 for 1895, 79; of 301 for 1886, 60; of 300 for 1897, 58. for a total of 262 of the original 1886 offered.
