the plaintiff in the action broulht
against Hill by William Irvine Ed-
wards. Elm street. to recover 820,000

wife Mildred Ogden lllll owe him for
services rendered and loans. The ac.
tion was brought by Edwards follow.
ing a suit filed by Hill to recover
on a 35.000 note and a rcpicvln suit
tiled against Edwards by Mrs. Hill.
The testimony given by Pack and
Edwards who were the only two-
witnesses to take the stand yester-
day afternoon. was of a startling
nature and told of various dealings
of illll while he was president of
the Norwulk company.
He told of pleas made by Edwards
and Hill not to prosecute Hill on the
charge of fraud when it was discov-
ered that the Norwalk company did
not own the patents on the ice ma-
chine being manufactured at the
plant. as Hill had represented at the
time the stock was sold.

At this point Judge Keogh. attor-
ney for Edwards tried to bring out
the point that Edwards was author-
ized by Hill to act as his agent but
Attorney llrlnckcrhoff objected and
the objection was sustained by
Judge John W. Banks. Judge Keogh
then excused rack and called Ed-
wards to the stand.
Pleas for Mercy
Edwards stated that he had been
requested by Mr. Hill to get in touch
with Pack and request him not to
prosecute him for the money that
he had put in the Norwalk iron
Works. He said that he was also
requested to try and purchase
Pack's stock in the company so that
Hill could get controlling interest of
the company. He was instructed to
pay as high as}i0,000. Pack would
not sell.
Receiver Threatened
Pack threatened to throw the
company into the hands of a re-
ceiver and again Edwards was re-
quested by Hill to ask the Washing-

the stock hey had purchased. Pack

AFTER FATAL RIOT IN TOMBS
The resignation of Frederick A. Wallis, commissioner of cor-
