Taft PUTNAM Trial of C of Clarence King Not nished—Albert Talnose on Stand —Baltic Young Lady Suspicious of King's Gifte—Chamber of Com- merce- Directors to Protest Against Certain Excessive Trolley Rates— Message That Local Boys Wers to be Transferred to New Jersey. e The trial of the case of the state vs. rence King, Danielson, was con- tinued in the superior court here on Wednesday, but was still incomplete when court-adjourned for the day and will be resumed this morning. The chief interest of the day cen- tered in the testimony of Albert Tal- nose, Danielson, friend and compan- rmn of the sccused and himself chs ed with having had a preminent part in the disposition of the jewelry that is under discussion in the case. Talnose testified that when he was first shown diamond rings by Kinz he did not know where they came from; he admitted heving made trips about C‘onnecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island with King and %hat he pawned rings while on such trips with King, hut claimed that the rings were given him by King and that all the money he ever received was $40, which he considers he owes King at the present time. The $40 that King gave him was half the proceeds received from pawning a ring, Talnose said. After various ring-pawning trips, Talnose said he became suspicious as to how King came to have the rinss, but_he admitted under cross-exami- nation by Attorney R. M. Douglass, that he did not make his suspicions known to any officer, nor did he go to McEwen and Chapin in Danielson and tell the members of that firm that he was suspicious that it was jewelry from their. store that he had a hand in pawnins. Claimed He Questioned King. At one stage of his testimony Tal- nose said that he had acked.King a number of times how he came to have the rings in his possession, but got c satisfactory answer. At another me he ngain asked Kinz where the rings came from, he sald, and King laughed and sald McEwen and Cha- pin's. - King - Paid Traveling Expenses. Talnose was on the witness stand for a long period during the afte noon session. He was questioned a‘ lensth by attorneys in the case rela- tive to the details of his trips with Kind—to New Haven, Providence and Newport—and reiative to the pawn- ing of rings. Talnose insisted that he any moner, excepting $40, for any of {he pawning transac- ons in which he engaged, but ssid taat King was in the habit of pay- ing traveling expenses for both. - Is 24 and a Syrian.

At the opening of court in the morning Arnold A. Perry, New Ha- ven, a jeweler and loan merchant, was called to the witness stand. He sald he never remembered seeing King. In July he loaned $25 cn a lady's ring to a man who gave hi This ring later was claimed for McEwen and Chapin and redeemed by Chlef Grimshaw in the firm’s interest. Gifts to Baltic Girl. Miss Renoda Hines, Baltic, was call- ed to the witness stand. She testified that she became acquainted with King last summer while visiting in this vi- cinity.

They had gotten in touch with Chief Grim- shaw of Danielson, to whom the pen and pin eventually were turned over. This was about two weeks after she had received the gifts. Henrv A. McEwen was recalled to the stand and told of interviews he had with King after the latter’s ar- rest in connection with the case. Empty Ring Boxes Hidden in Theatre Captain Robert T.
