in the civil superior court at New
Haven. Saturday, the defendant in the
case of lsabello V. Shnilur against

court session opened promptly at 10.
Mr. Bullock resumed his direct ex-
amination. whiih was interrupted by
the adjournment Friday afternoon it

state. but It was done iii this instance
in the hope that the finish of the tee
timony in this long drawnout trial
might be reached.
Mr. Bullock made an excellent wit-
ness In his own behalf. telling his
story In a marine and conuectcil‘ man»
her. On the cross-emminatlon he was
perceptibly nervous at titties, and it
was obvious that Mr. Judson was sub
jet-ting him to a nerve racking ordeal.
His face wore an anxious expression.
and his rather pale complexion was
rendered sallow by the strain which
he was undergoing. That he tried his
best to give satisfactory replies was
apparent, but oftentimes it was nec-
her of times before his answer be-
came wholly responsive. ‘
It seems scarcely possible. that the
case can be submitted to the jury be.

test. and It will more likely be Thurs‘
day.
When the defendant resumed his
direct testimony Saturday morning,
he said that Miss Shatter had been a
very regular attendant at the church
services, a faithful teacher in the
Sunday school. and a content mem-
ber of the choir. lie had never seen
her in the church bllt once. since the
episode of the broken glass in the
door. and then she sat in the body of
the church a mere spectator.
The membership of his church. he
said, was from 300 to 350, on an
average.
At the Christmas of 1902. the com
mittee had decided that Mr. l’reccc's
boy should not be asked to recite. as
in former years, because there were
so many others who ought to have.
pl'cfcrncc. The boy soon thereafter
left the Sunday school. and went in
the Congregational church. where in
the Sunday school he was Immediate-
ly given a place in the exercises.
Soon after, the resignation of the en-
tire family from the church was
shown him by the clerk.
As to his doings and his where.
abouts during the month of January.
1903. the witness. with the aid of Mrs.
Bullock and friends, had made an ex-
'hanstive research.
He said that. his wife had a maid
servant at different times. and had
one until the day before Thanksgiv-
Ing, 1902. After that time. when Mrs.
Bullock was away from home. Mrs.
C. W. Blakeslee had taken charge
of the baby until Mrs. Bullock suc-
ceeded in securing another servant,
who came Jan. 20. At no tinle to his
knowledge, was Miss Shailer ever left
In charge of the baby; it was always
Mrs. Biakeslee.
“Mr. Bullock, on your oath. I want
you to statelo the jury: “Have you
ever had immoral or improper rela-
tions with that woman during your
life?"
"No. sir, I never have."
"When dtd you first learn the date
upon which It was charged you com-
mitted the alleged offense?"
“Just before Dec. 19.
days after my arrest."
He stated that he at once began
an Investigation as to his whereabouts
on that date. and learned that Jan.
13 he was It. the night school. He de-
tailed the proceedings that night. and
said that at the conclusion of his
spelling class. he ferried for a time
talking with Mr Bliss and his son,
and others, He then went home. and
accompanied Mrs. Blakeslee to her
borne. 0n the way, Mr. Bliss asked
him to step In his house. and after
he had taken care of the horse at Mrs.
Blakeslee‘s he went to the Bliss house,
where he spentsome time. reaching
home about 10: 45.
He was shown the blue prints
which he used at the school. but de-
clared he could not find his drawing
papers; that they were mlslald at the
time of his removal to the Bruce ave-
nue house
He told of receiving a handkerchief
through Mrs. Bullock at Christmas
time, and of other gifts to .the mom
here of his family. but was not allow-
ed to state from whom they were said-
to have been received.
He said he had seen Miss Shslier at
his home but twice since Jan 18.

again the night of a meeting of the

Mr. Proece said: “No, you can‘t go
to see her. I have just left there, and
they are all torn to pieces. I have got
to hurry right back there.
"I asked him to try and make an
appointment for me, so that I could
see her, and he said he would try. and
would come back and let me know.
"i then went in the house, and
waited awhile for: him in the study
lint as he didn't cone, amt i didn’t
want to disturb my lie. I undressed
and put on my ngliiclothes. l ex-
pected him back, but he did not come
until some time after ll. i then got
up and put on my street clothes over
my night clothes. He said that Dr.
(‘.lnpp wanted me to come to see him
at his office at once.
“Yes, I asked Mr. Preece several
times if I couldn't go and see Belle
Shailer, but he said I could not. I
never said to him, or to any living
soul that I was responsible for Belle
Shaiier's child.
"We want to Dr. Clapp's office. but
ho was not in. I asked Mr. Preece a
number of times where and when the
affair happened but he said he did
not know anything about it. Dr.
()Iapp knew the whole story and he
would tell me. I would have to talk
to him.
‘Dr. (‘lapp was not at home. and
Mr. Preeco went to find him, telling
me to wait until he returned. I did
so. and when the doctor came in. i
said: 'Doctor, this is an awful thing;
there's a terrible mistake somewhere.
“‘Shi’ said the doctor. Then be
low deliberately laid off his coat and
hat. sat down in a chair. which he
drew up to mine. lit a cigarette. and
said: 'Mr Bullock. iiclle Shailcr says
you are the father of her chlld!’ I
ieplled that it was not so. and that it
was an outrage in charge me. n mar-
ried man. with being the father of
another woman‘s child. The doctor.
calmly smoking all the time, said:
‘Well, the whole thing can he settled
very easily.‘
“Just then the doorbell rang, and
tile doctor went and admitted another
person. whom he conducted into the
inner olilce. The doctor came back.
and we talked some time, when Mr.
l'rcece walked In from the other
room.‘ The doctor told him to.go
back, that we could arrange matters
very easily without him. After sortie.
talk, the doctor stated that if I would
give him 8400, he would see the lain-
ily and’arrange matters. and my name
would never appear in the matter. I
said that would be black mail, and I
would not submit to it.
“The doctor said: 'ch. It’s black-
mail, Imt if this story gets out, you
know It means rain to you. You had
better hush it up if you can."
"I told him I could not do anything
about it that night, i asked his ad-
vice for I regarded him as a frian
of the family. 'i’ut yourself in my
place, doctor.“ 1 said, ‘what would
you advise me to do?‘
“‘1 would pay the money.‘ he. said.
“You don‘t want this thing to come
out and utterly ruin you.“
“i told him i would think the mat
icr over. and went home. Saturday
evening, Mr. Preece came again to the
house. and said the doctor wanted to
see me at his office. I told him I
could not go just then, but would
later. I had been lining considerable
thinking over Friday as to what I
should do. I got to the doctor’s ol
ticeut ii. and told him I thought my
wisest. plan would be to call the otii
core of my church together, and lay
the whole matter before them.
"'No, don't you do that. it would
only ruin you, sure. The story Is surr
to get out then. anyway. Now. the
best plan is for you to agree to be re
sponsible for the expenses of thi‘
wotnan.’ "
“I told him I would not do that. for
it would be a tacit admission of my
zuilt, whereas I was Innocent. Then
he said that If I would see that he got
his money out of it, he would see that
no one would be the wiser. Her fa-
thers had not been told, the. girl could
be sent away. the child could be born.
and no one would know a word about
It.
"i told him I wanted to go see her
and compel her -to retract her charg
as, but he said i could not do so. i
asked him what he meant by the ex-
houses of the case. and he said the
lying-in charges. I asked him again
'or advice. and he told me as before,
that the best way was to pay. and
veep the matter quiet. I did not make
any definite agreement that night. but
did tell him It all that was wanted was
the matter of expenses during her sick
ness, 1 would see that they were paid.
"I told him repeatedly that l was
not the (‘.aIlSP of her trouble, and that
she could not say so in my presence.
i asked several times for the date and
the place alleged, and he wouldn't tell
me. Neither would he tell me where
the girl was.
"The following Monday (Aug. 31)
I went to see him. and left for him
8100. Part of this was money which
I had saved to pay a life Insurance
premium, and part was from my sal-
ary. which I received Monday fore-
noon."
"Why did you agree to submit to
this blackmail or this extortion?"
asked Attorney Goodhart.
Objection was made to the use of
the terms “blackmail" and "extor-
tips." and they were ordered stricken
out:
"For three reasons: First. on ac-
count of my church which for four
years had been under my charger,

has been offered here in the plaintiff's
evidence.
“The first note I wrote road: 'While
repudiatlug' that I am the father of
the child of Isabelle Bhulier. i agree
to pay Dr. Clupp for the expenses
connected therewith." This I read
aloud. but Dr. Clapp said: ‘Bosh!
That won't do!’ I crumpled it in my
hand. put it in my pocket and wrote
the second: ‘Wliile in no wise respon-
sible for the condition of Isabelle
Bliaiier, I will see that the expenses
connected therewith are fully paid.’
“This i also read aloud, bilt it
wouldn't do. and I wrote the third.
Dr. Glenn road this over and said:
‘IWell. that will do for the time be-

'Dr. Ciapp then said he would put
that paper in a safe deposit vanl,, and
when lpaid the money he would
return it to me, and no human eye
should ever see it.
“I oon't know the date of the next

I also paid him different sums of

"Just before Mr. i’reccc moved
from Stratford to Milford, i met him
under the railroad bridge. He asked
me what I meant by lying about him.
and saying he was going to move. He
threatened to break every none in my
blank body. I told him to keep cool.
but i had not told any lies about him.
He said i had better not, for he would
give hie a thrashing.
"l have not seen Dr. Clapp to talk
with since Monday, Aug. 31. when I
wrote the agreement. He said he had
just come from the Shailers‘. where
he had been for four hours. trying to
keep Mr. Shaller from committing
suicide. If I would sign the paper. it
would prevent a suicide and possibly
a murder, for Mr. Silailcr would shoot
me on sight.
“I have stated now all that I can

Palmers and Mr. lit-urn were at my

Stagg came and asked me to take a
walk. 'lheu they told me of my ar-
rest. 1 only learned the charge when
I was before Judge Hepburn after 11
o'clock. I went to the telephone and
called on Dr. Glenn. but was told by
his father that the doctor was not at
home. I took the car to Dr. Clapp's
office, but he was not there. and I
wrote the note which has been of-
fored here. I was almost beside my—
self and hardly knew what I was
doing or what i wrote. I thought i
could turn to hlin as a friend. This
note I wrote about 12:30 in his office.
