He said he met John T. King, one-time national republican com mitteeman from Connecticut, and told him his mission. King, he said, told him he could help him, and that services of a law yer were not necessary in having the claim allowed. Then King introduced him to Je?s W. Smith. Daugherty's handyman. Later on, Merton said, he was introduced to Miller. Merton said the claim was"passed with its validity being questioned. Merton testified that an agreement was made between Merton and King that King should be paid 5 per cent of the total of the claim for services in obtaining the payment. Merton also testified he gave King a "retainer" of 50 thousand dollars before returning to Germany. the Platters rolled up a total of ten points in this quarter of the game.
