W HISKEY. LEADS TO
 MURDER
Two More Slain in This State in the Feud of Smugglers--New Brit ain Has One Case and New Haven Another.

With the finding of the body of Enio Rinaldino, 26, of New Britain, in an automobile on a. lonely stretch of road near New Britain yesterday, the State Police as well as the autho ities of New Britain and Pennington are confronted with another bafflins murder mystery. The dead mans al- legged connection with a whiskey "ring,'' and the condition or the body when discovered adds more com plica- tions to the case.
 Rinaldino's body with bullet wound in the head. was found in his automobile, and revolver with three chambers exploded was clutched in the dead mans hand. Around the victims nose and mouth was knotted handkerchief. The revolver is be- lieved to have been placed in Rinal- dino's hand aftr his death by the murderer.
 With state and local police follow ing up every possible clue, the belief persists in certain circles that Rinal- dino's death may be traced to causes arising from alleged connections with a whiskey ring.
 Friends of Rinaldino point out tha it was highly improbable that he automobile on the salary that he got as a grocery clerk. Furthermore, Rinaldino was looked upon as a fashion plate by his friends and neighbors in New Britain because of his expensive clothing
 The most perplexing feature of the situation is the fact that Rina1dino was evidently in the best of spirits when he left his home in New Brit ain at o'clock yesterday morning. Ii is because of this fact that the sui eide theory is rejected by his wife friends and neighbors.
 Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of his marriage.
 "Enio,'' Mrs. Rina1dino said last I night, "left this morning feeling very happy. It was z o'clock when he 1ef the house. He said he was going to Pennington to collect some grocery bills and that he would be back al about 1 o'clock in the afternoon"
