TAYLOR ON THE STAND. Tells How King Denied His Identity | When Captured. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. %.—The trial of J E. King for the murder of S. H. Church was resumed in the Superior Court here this morning. The prosecution put Mrs, S. H. Church, her daughter, Mrs. 8. L. Stice, and the son, Herman, on the stand. | They testified to the declarations of the deceased when carried into the house after the shooting, claiming that Church | declared that King shot him because he had threatened to have him arrested. The most interesting witness of the day was Sherifft W. P, Taylor. He told how King had denied his identity when first brought to the jail, claiming that his name was Jameson. ' The prisoner's mental and physical condition at this time was very bad. Deputy Sheriff Goe and Constable Clark next told how they captured King near Paskenta and how he denied his ldentity at the time. The prosecution here rested. Attornéy Lennon for the defense said he would make no opening statement, but would proceed with the evidence. The defense put-on about half a dozen peigh- bors and acquaintances of S. hurch and asked them if they knew his general reputation for being a quarrelsome. and turbulent man. With one exception they sald, when pressed, that they know. The next witness was J. strong, who searched King's camj the shooting and was only able to find one empty rifle shell. Roland B. Andrews was then called. He testified that Stice told him on the day of the inquest on Church's body to say nething about the gun that he rm- after (Stice) had found lying down by King's camp. This testimony 4{mpeached that given by Stice, he having denied having made such statements. It is expected that the trial will coniinue through the week. e ‘WILL P;EAD INSANITY.
