Sent Letter 70 BOrgnaes
 Miss ODonnell said that she sent Dhe letter to his home at Hollis, L. but that 1t was returned to the Kingsley office. The letter bore Q eturn address, she said, indicating hat the letter had not been de- ivered to the addressee.
 The last she saw of Borgnaes, she kaid, was in December, 1887 at the ISingsley office. She continued, how Ever, with uncertainty, that she night have seen him early in 1888.
 Never Knew He Left
 examined by Special Prose- tutor Hugh M. Alcorn, the attrac- i've witness said that she did not ;now Borgnaes had left the country, and that she had received no tele- ,hone calls from Borgnaes or any members of his family.
 Previous witnesses have testified that Borgnaes may be in Europe, and that his family has joined him. Miss O'Donnell denied that she had Talked to MT. Kingsley the day the grand jury returned its report.
 An objection from fiery Attorney Blade halted the witness from re- spending to a question from Alcorn as to whether she knew that King ,ley had told former County De- ;ective Edward J. Hickey that Borg 1aes had left the country.
 No Checks Since May, 1888
 Miss Barbourt, who concluded four days of Identification of rec- ords from the Kingsley office at 5i2:25 today, said that Borgnaes had received no checks since May IA, io3b, almost week before the grand iury's report was issued.
 She recalled that she had made out checks to Borgnaes in 1888, EWhile he was sick, and on other oc- Icasions when he did not work. She could not remember the last time she saw the mysterious Borgnaes.
 Copies of Checks
 photostatic copies of checks paid to Borgnaes during April and May, 1li938 were introduced as evidence, Showing that the missing defend- ant received $l48.50 April IA, 1888, $74.25, April 30 and the same amount, May IA, the final check. The first check, the endorsement showed, was cashed April 15. while |the other two were deposited. The |$7425 checks represented half pay, [the witness testified.
 As Miss Barbour identified the |phetostats of checks introduced as |evidence, she said that an effort Ihad been made, without success, to locate the originals.
 "When were the photos madep" asked Alcorn.
 Questioned in Corner Ifom a far corner of the court. room, Attorney Slade questioned William B. Murray, former defend- ant, now associated in the defense I of his colleagues, "When were they made, MT. Murray?"
 Before he could answer, Alcorn objected. If you get 1t on the rec- erd, 1t should at least be under oath" suggested Judge Inglis. Whereupon MT. Slade went to Mur- ray and questioned him in whisper. He emerged, saying, "They were made three or four months ago."
 No Objection Made
 Alcorn offered no objection to the Introduction cf the records, sub- ject to the promise of Attorney Slade that he would produce the originals or account for their ab- sence.
 He asked also that the invoices connected with the checks be sup piled, and received promise that such would be followed out. We can produce the invoices from the office" said Slade.
 Miss O'Donnell, the 18th witness called since the defense started al- most three we::..::s ago, said that a part of her duties between 1880 and 1888 was to receive mail for the company. Many times, she said, she had received checks from the city of Waterbury. and they were turn ed over to Miss Barbour for entry
 In Regular Manner
 This testimony was apparently to show that City of Waterbury checks were treated in regular routine alanner, at the Kingsley office.
 MT. Clark, who was employed by Kingsley from 1882 to 1888, said that he was first assigned to Waterbury in 1884. At that time, he said, he worked with Francis B. Troy, under the supervision of Enoch Borgnaes, in the tax office, and on payroll work.
 Tax System Books
 A two foot pile of books and rec. ords which pertained to the tax sys- tenn installed for the city by the Kingsley auditors, were identified by Clark, and Attorney Shade asked that they be marked as an exhibit.
 T object on general principles" said 'Alcorn, eyeing the huge bundle of papers.
 T thought you would" said slade sarcastically, What's good for the goose Is not good for the gander."
 Alcorn reminded him that at the start of the defense he had stated he would not offer the huge stacks of papers and books brought from the tax collectors office as exhibits.
 Slade Denies 1t
 Slade denied he had said such a thing, but claimed that there are about 125 on the floor which I will not offer"
 In A single breath, Alcorn asked, 'Does he propose to have every pa- per marked separately as part of the exhibit? What is the purpose of the offer?"
 Answering the latter question, 6lade said, ITO show the extent of the work done by Kingsley"
 Would 1t help if I concede that the papers represent work done?" asked Alcorn.
 Skeptical About It
 "I'm skeptical about what you concede," retorted Slade.
 well, I'm willing to concede 1t was work done by Kingsley" con- tinued Alcorn.
