Senator Pities
 Stenographer At Marathon Debate
(speciaI to The Democrat)

Special to The DemOcrat)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May 24-"This is certainly an un- fair labor practice" declared Senator Daniel Mccarthy of Ansonia, pointing to the Senate gallery, where a sten0grapher had been taking notes stead lily for more than five hours, as debate on the Waterbury city manager bill came to a close last night. The stenog- rapher was presumably work ing for the Good Citizens Gov ernment association of Water bury.
 The stenographer was sitting with two other women in the gallery, and took notes con- stantly during the record breaking debate. Senator Mc- Carthy pointed out that she had been given no time for supper and had to remain in the same place during the entire debate.
 The Ansonia senator said he was confident that the woman was not there on behalf of Sem ator George T. Culhane, and criticized those responsible for her being there.

"misquoting" to deliver a bitter per- sonal attack on John A. Hayden, business manager of The Water bury Democrat, who had nothing whatever to do with the article, and to criticize sharply the members of the economy committee of the finance board, whom he said, did not want economy in the city govern ment. Certain members of the finance board, the acting controller said in his statement yesterday, "are interested not in achieving economies but in perverting facts to their own ends"
 Printed In Republican
 The version of MT. Purcell's re- mark last week was printed by the Waterbury Republican as well as The Democrat.
 The Republican this morning stated that its reporter at the meet ing had understood MT. Purcell to make the statement, and added that others who agreed in that impress sion were Aldermanic President Pat rick Perriello, City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice and Commissioner Hay den.
 The Republican last Friday morn ing said: Acting Controller Purcell commented that he had learned re- gently that there was only one other city in Connecticut that had wo- man probation officer"
 Purcell Denies It MT. Purcell denies that he made such statement. He said he had been talking about the City of Wa terbury paying various individuals for the use of their privately-owned automobiles, and that he had men, , tioned that he wrote to five cities asking whether women probation officers there received such pay ments. In all but one case, he said he told the board, he had been told that there was no such position. The Democrat, under the impress sion held by the Republican, among others, challenged the accuracy of MT. Purcell's reported statement and pointed out that there were many more than two women probation of- ficers in the state. The Republicans report of the
 meeting, including the statement that MT. Purcell had said there were
 only two women probation officers
 in the state, was not challenged
 But, days later, The Democrats re-
 port was, accompanied by a strong
 obviously political statement by the acting controller.

BLUE PETER WINS
 ENGLISH DERBY
(Continued from Page D

Bellman took the lead at the start while thousands jammed about the pole on the far side of the horse shoe course. Roderick-Dhu and Snowcap, two of the 29 acceptors, were scratched shortly before the field was sent away with Fair chance dropping behind. Larch- field moved into the front at the half in place of Heliopolis, who ran in second position.
 Blue Peter Starts Drive
 At the three quarter post the runners began to string out and approaching the dangerous curve at old Tattenham corner Larchfield still was on top but Blue Peter be- gan the drive which was to carry him to an easy victory.
 AS they slammed into the sharp turn Jockey Smith neatly maneuv- cred Blue Peter to the front of the pack and the favorite responded with burst of speed that carried him past the finish line at the grandstand going away.
 Stafford II finished last. Hypno- tist, the other American runner, was seventh, behind Buxton and Admiral's Walk who finished fifth and sixth.
 Blue Peter won approximately 10,550 pounds ($52,750) in first money.

urers' checks was exactly 5000 less than the group of city cheeks. "The 5000 just disappeared" he con- mented.
 The treasurerS' check was in the name of James F. Daly, and was endorsed over to D. J. Leary. The latter apparently cashed it, for it bore his signature also. Carl D. Ol- sen had made out the check, Brown said.
 When Atty. Josiah Peck objected to the admission of the check as evil dence, Special Prosecutor Alcorn claimed that it was important to his case.
 "But there's no proof who Daly is or what connection he had" cried Peck.
 That's what we'd like to know replied Alcorn. "It seems to me the strongest evidence of the sys- tenn adopted"
 Detective?
 Brown said that he had made an effort to detect the identity oi the man. Daly, but had been un- successful. Atty. John H. Cassidy objected that Brown was now qualifying as a detective, as well as an accountant.
 Judge Inglis overruled the objec- tion, which caused a furry o1 laughter throughout the courtroom
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn reae prepared questions to Brown, just before he concluded his direct ex- animation. The initial question wal as follows:
 Summarizing your figures, ane from examination of the available records of Waterbury, the Water. bury Trust Co.,, the Citizens & Manufacturers National bank, the Colonial Trust Co, of New York the Underwriter's Trust Co.,, of New York, the brokerage firm of Lap- ham, Davis & Bianchi, and such information as you have been able to gather taking into account the missing books, papers, and war rants payable sheets, what total amount do you find appears to have been paid other than regular sal aries to all of the defendants for the years 1931-1937 inclusive?"
 ''The amount was $2,154,718.89,' Brown said quietly. as Judge Inglis overruled objections.
 Before concluding the examina- tion of Brown, the state had intro- duced 454 exhibits into the trial It is expected that few more will come in with the witnesses yet tc be examined. Brown was the 59tt state witness to be called.
 SeamOn Presented
 Attorney Benjamin Slade, counse for three of the accused, received condolences yesterday, in view of hi! recent bereavement. A brother, Da. vid, died, and was buried in New Haven on Saturday.
 Atty. Slade has introduced Atty Joseph Seamon of Forth Amboy, N J., to the court, and the latter i. expected to conduct the cross-ex. animation of Brown. Seamon is 2 CPA and registered municipa accountant.

 is in recess until tomorow at the request of the counsel for the 23 defendants.
 Within one week after the defense conclude their cross-examination of Brown, who testified eight days for the state, Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn is expected to rest his side of the case.
 Speculation
 No definite estimate of the time to be required in the oss-examina- tion can be obtained. Several de- felse counsel are of the opinion that two or three days will be sufficient, while others have indicated that the questioning will be protracted.
 Indications are that Alcorn will call a few minor witnesses at the end of the Brown cross-examina- ticn, then rest his case The de- ferse will require approximately six or seven weeks, it has been e sti- mated, making possible the comple- ton of the trial by August. The trial started November 29, 1888.
 Testimony of Brown, in summa- tion of his state story yesterday, showed that $2,154,718.89 of city money had been paid to the &C., cused, aside from regular salaries, during the eight years, 1930-37.

 The total of the three items was $3,441 ,486.26, the witness said. The overwhelming majority of the city checks cashed at the Waterbury Trust company were handled by Carl D. Olsen, former vice presi- dent and treasurer of the bank, and a defendant, Brown testified.
 Olsen's Handwriting
 All the treasurer's checks which were exchanged for the large num- Der of city checks were in the handwriting of Olsen, he continued
 Aside from the summation of fig ures, Brown caused further sensa- tion with testimony concerning IS city checks for $13,73790 which were connected with a single treasurers' check on the Waterbury Trust com- pany, for $5.737.90.
 Brown pointed out that the treas-

State Capitol, Hartford, May 24- Some quotable quotes from the lengthy arguments over the Water bury city manager referendum bill:
 T am in favor of a referendum on the city manager plan, but I think it ought to be held before the fall. Senator George T. Culhane, of Waterbury,
 ''I shall vote against any amend ment proposed at this time. The purpose of the amendment is to beat the bill. I believe that the pe0- pie of Waterbury are entitled to vote on the bill." (Senator Edward F. Egan, of Waterbury,
 "If there are parts of this charter that are unconstitutional, let the courts decide on them" (Senator Daniel Mccarthy, of Ansonia)
 '"These Proportional Representa- ton elections-you can't make any sense out of them. I've studied mathematics but you have to be a student of calculus to understand these P. R. returns" Senator Neh- emiah Candee, of Norwalk.)
 T will not be surprised if the gov- ernor vetoes this bill and recom- mends that it be sent back to the cities and boroughs committee. ' (Senator Culhane.)
 'Tt seems strange to see the sena- tor from the 21st district supporting this bill, the same man who told reporters that if the people of Wa terbury accepted this charter they ought to have a conservatOr put over them. (Senator Culhane, refer ring to Senator Audubon Secor, of Bridgeport.)
 Many members of the commit tee were against the city manager form of government but believed the question should go before the people of Waterbury" (Senator Secoro
 This charter is clearly unconsti- tutional." Senator Culhane.)

 Speaking almost steadily for five and a half hours, Senator Culhane gave up the fight at 7:30 p. m., and the bill was passed. It was the longest de-
