CONSPIRACY CHARGE

THE WARREN CASE. EVIDENCE AGAINST J. T. JONES. Praia Association —By Telegraph—Copyrigat SYDNEY, November (. (Received Nov. 7, at 8.20 p.m.) When the Warren case was continued Captain Warren, in evidence, denied that C. E. Jones was his nephew or that ne had ever authorised him to pass as such 5r purchase a property for him. He also denied that the signatures on various documents relating to the purchase of the property were his. He admitted that (.he signatures on a number of blank cheques were his, but he said he had no recollection of signing them. His memory was good until after he met Jones, but it afterwards began to fail. He could not explain the cause of J. T. Jones’s statement from the dock when he said that ne managed all Warren’s affairs under a power of attorney. He was being blamed for a bad property deal which was no fault of his. C. E. Jones, in a statement from the dock, said that J. T. Jones, who was his cousin, induced him to represent himself as Warren’s nephew. Witness objected as it seemed to be an impersonation, out his cousin said it was all right, and that he had the advice of two solicitors.— A. and N.Z. Cable.
