Held For Miss Allinson's Death.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 29.—The local and Moorestown detectives are still making strenuous efforts to fasten upon Rufus Johnson, colored, now under arrest here, the murder of Miss Florence W. Allinson of Moorestown, N. J., ten days ago. Although he has been positively identified as the man who pawned in Philadelphia a watch bearing Miss Allinson's name and which is believed to have been stolen at the time the murder was committed and although there was found in his possession a watch key that fits the watch pawned, Johnson persists in denying any knowledge of the murder. He has admitted burglarizing a house not far from the scene of the Allinson murder and says the watch key belongs to a watch that was a part of the fruit of that burglary.
