GIVES DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
Hall Recites Several Conversations
With Defendant, "NOrm" King.


Detective Norm King will be given
an opportunity to disprove testimony
submitted by the state as to what con-
necuon he had in the diamond deal he is
claimed with being implicated in.
The evidence for the state is all in
and while some of the testimony is dam
aging, there still remains a doubt as to
whether 1t has been corroborated suffi-
GENTLY to compel the jury to believe that
Norm King did grant Harry Adams
immunity from arrest on condition that
ne turn certain diamond over to him.
The state rested at noon yesterday,
and Attorney Welch made a motion to
DISMISS but it was denied.
The principal witness for the state
yesterday was A. H. Hall. His testi-
mony was brief but it was important
Hall was Harry Adams attorney, and
he recited conversations had with King
during the time that his client was in
the tolls.
King told him. he said, that the case
would not bother him much, because the
fellow who lost the diamond either could
not or would not identify Adams, and all
that was necessary was to stand pat and
things would be all right.
March he again met King, and said
to him: 4" Norm why don't Won give
back or send back the Hooper diamond %
King answered.: 81 haven't got the d-d
stone" Hall then told him that he un-
derstood that the stone had been given
70 him and that Hooper had been bother
ing him about it, and that he didn't
like 1t. King then retorted: "Oh, what
the HI can Hooper do?''
Hall then told King that if a bargain
had been made it should be carried out,
and also that the Adams family had
stripped themselves to raise money to
buy back the diamond, and also that
he had not received any fee yet for his
trouble.
King said: what, haven't YOU got
your money yet? Well I'll see Adams
and shake him down. I'll tell him that
Hooper is making trouble. This concIud-
ed the principal part of Halls testimony.
Billy Edwards was also on the stand
during the forenoon on cross-examination
but Attorney Welch was unable to shake
his testimony given on direct examination
the day before.

CHOATE FLIES FLAGS
THAT ARE STRANGE
DecOrates London Home With M
tiOnal EmbIems Bearing INSULT
cient Stars and Stripes.

LONDON, June 24.-Ambassador Choate
and Whitelaw Reid, United States spe-
cial ambassador to the coronation, will
be lucky if they escape sarcastic and
pointed attention from the pens of the
British funmakers as a result Of the
blunders which have been committed
under their noses by the persons VINO
supplied the coronation decorations for
the exterior of Mr.. Choates residence in
Carleton house terrace, and Brooke house,
where Mr.. Reid is staying.
Much comment, humorous as well as in
dignant, has been evoked from many
Americans here by the fact that the So
called American flags at Brooke house
are grossly incorrect in composition. The
flags show ten stripes and twenty-five
stars.
In Carleton house terrace another er-
ror, equally conspicuous, is apparent in
the decorations. Prominent in the ar
rangement of flags and bunting is a huge
American shield, which bears fourteen
stripes.
Americans are inclined to regard with
scme amazement the apparent ignorance
of Mr.. Choate and Mr. Reid as to the
proper composition Of the .emblems Of the
country which they represent. 1ney do
not relish the prospect of the United
States becoming the target for British
witticisms on this score, and a move
ment is under way to jog the memories OF
both ambassadors and bring about q cor
Iection of the errors.

is DARK FOR CASTRO
DEVELOPMENTS SHOW MOVEMENT
AGAINST HIM GROWING
Bad News From BOvven-Stnte De-
partment Refuses to DivuIse Mes
sage, but the Navy Department IL
Ready to Meet Almost Any Ex-
igency.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June A-The
state department today received a cable
gram from United States Minister Bowen
at Caracas. The officials declined to make
public the text Of the dispatch but it IS
understood that 1t makes out a critical
state of affairs arising from the present
revolutionary movement against Presi-
dent Castro, which Is generally recog-
nized as the strongest that has yet
threatened him.
The navy department stands ready to
meet almost any exigency which may
arise ia Venezuela. The Cincinnati and
the Topeka are lying at La Guaira, and
the gunboat Marietta is enroute to San
Juan, Porto Rico. The departments in
tention is to have the Marietta proceed
thence to Colon and relieve the Machias,
but she will lie at San Juan until it ap-
pears assured that her services will not
be needed to reinforce che Cincinnati
and Topeka in protecting American lives
and property in Venezuela.
No report, it is stated, has yet been
received from the commanders of the
two warships at La Guaira, The officers
are to use their own discretion in their
course of action in Venezuela waters,
and it is thought that the absence or
a report only means the absence of any
important change in the situation as far
Gs they can view it.
Relief IN Sight for Castro.
A report Of an important development
in Venezuela, which, If borne out, un-
doubtedly will make a great change in
the status of affairs there, has been re-
ceived here from an unofficial source
in the republic. 1t is stated that Vene-
zuela has adjusted her relations with
Colombia as to allow Of the complete
withdrawal of the governments force
Of about 5000 men from the Columbian
border, and that this army now can he
rushed to the relief of President Castro
at Caracas, who is represented in the
advices reaching Washington as being
sorely beset by the revolutionists under
Gen. Matos. Late mail advices received
here say that Gen Matos has divided
his forces and is now approaching Cara
cas- from the rear and from both east
and west.
Peaceful at the Border.
Senior Pulido, the Venezuelan charge
d d'affaires, received in his official mail
yesterday a letter from the secretary
of state of Venezuela denying the re-
ports of a Colombian invasion and stat
ing that conditions along the border were
peaceful. Color Is given to the report
of an amicable settlement of relations
with Colombia by the press reports of
the opening of a Venezuelan port away
up the Orinoco, near Colomblans border
lines, which will enable the Colombians
to utilize the great river to ship their
produce out into the Atlantic-a condi-
ton which has not prevailed for many
months.

OUTCOME IS STILL IN DOUBT.
Race for Democratic Nomination for
Governor in PennsyIvania Close.

ERIE, Pa, June 24.-The result Of the
contest for the nomination of governor
by tomorrow's Democratic state conven-
ton is still in doubt with the chances
in favor of ex-Gov. Robert E. Pattison,
of Philadelphia. Pattison's most for
midable rival is ex-Congressman James
Kerr, of Clearfeld, whose adherents are
making an active canvass and profess
to be confident of the outcome.
The other candidates are George w.
Guthrie, of Pittsburg. and Col. John A.
Woodward, Of Bellefonte.
National Committeeman James NJ. Cuff
fly, of Pittsburg, whose adherents claim
holds the balance of opwer in the conven-
ton, today declared in favor of Patti
son and predicted his nomination on the
first ballot.
Pattison's managers have made over
lures to Guthrie to support him for
lieutenant governor if his delegates will
vote for the Philadelphian, but all their
offers have been declined.
The platform was drafted by Robert
E. Wright, of Allentown, and approved
at a conference tonight of the party
leaders. The platform makes no men
ton of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms and deals almost entirely with
state issues.

Weeks Carousal and Dissi-

Shattered His Nerves
HE SEES HIS ATTORNEY
1T is Not Known whether Prisoner
Intends to Make a Full Con-
fessiOn or Again Stand
Trial.

Two deputy sheriffs arrived in Mime
apolis early yesterday morning with
Chris c. Norbeck, who had been captur-
ed at Carver and later removed to the
county Jail at Chaska, where ne was
turned over to Sheriff Dreger, of Henne-
pin county, by Sheriff Johnson, of Carver
county.
The trip was made overland by team,
and under difficulties The prisoner was
in beastly state of intoxication, and
his physical condition was bordering on
frenzy. On his own admission when cap
tured he had been on continual drunk
for the entire week of his endeavors to
evade officers of the law, and his ap-
pearance bore out the statement
Erwin Sees Prisoner.
His attorney, Mr. Erwin called on him
at the court house about 9 o'clock yes
terday morning, and Norbeck did not
recognize the attorney with whom he had
been so closely connected for the past
six weeks. When asked if he had any
thing to say he told his attorney that
he would talk to, him about the matter
in the morning, and when told that it
was nearly 10 o'clock he could scarcely
be made to realize it.
Mr.. Erwin then left him, but called in
the afternoon to talk over some mat
ISIS. 1I0 COuOlIlOn OIL MS client ndd not
improved sufficiently to carry on any sort
of an intelligent conversation. He how
ever, spent about two hours with him.
At the end of that time he had no
knowledge of what Norbeck proposed to
do. He did not know whether he intend
ed to make a full confession, or whether
he proposed to make another fight for
his liberty against odds that look well
nigh inSurmountable.
Can Have His Own Way.
Mr.. Erwin said last night that his de-
fendant will be given full right to choose
for himself in the matter, and if he
decides to confess and throw himself
upon the mercy of the court that will be
his privilege, but if on the contrary he
decides to try and make another fight
for his vindication, that he will proceed
with the case.
Judge Harrison has issued an order
that Norbeck be not allowed to see any
person except his attorneys, and they
only to see him in presence of the jailor,
Capt Alexander. It will be several days
before Norbeck will regain even sem
blance of his former self, as his recent
carousal has taxed his constitution to its
fullest extent. He is at the present time
under medical treatment, and The doctor
is of the opinion that he will be all right
in time.
