MEANS DEFENCE
ASKS DISMISSAL
Presents No Evidence
Against Claim That Agent
Killed Rich Widow.

Concord. y. C.. Sept. 25.-At the
opening OF the second days prelim-
mary hearing OF CASTOR Means. in
connection with the killing OF Mrs.
Maude 4. King, the defence announced
that it would offer no evidence but
would argue for a dismissal The state
closed It's case yesterday.
It was announced that no habeas
corpus had been applied for.
The state was ready today for the
defence to contest its claim that Mrs.
King came to her death at Means's
hands and not through accidental dis
charge of a pistol in her own hands as
a local coroner's jury decided.
Claim Suicide Impossible.
IN furtherance OF the prosecutions
attempt to have Means bound over 10
the grand jury, Dr.. VIM Burmeister,
OF Chicago, and DR.. Otto Schultze. OF
New York, testified during the states
presentation OF its case yesterday that
II would have been a physical impos-
wealthy widow TO have shot herself
in the back Of the head. where she
received the fatal wound on the night
OF aug %, at a small spring near
here
Besides the experts. five other Wit
nesses testified for the prosecution,
bringing out that on the trip Mrs
King was accompanied by CASTOR
Means, who was her business repre-
sentative, and BY Capt. ". s. Bling
ham; a friend, and Alton Means. a
brother Of CASTOR.
No Case Established.
Frank Osborne opened the argu-
ments for the defence, informing
magistrate Pitts that the defence
would show that the state had not
established case on which TO bind
Means over on a charge OF murder.
The states case rests only upon
the statements OF two experts" he
said, referring to DR.. VIM. II. Bur-
meister OF the cOroner's office in
Chicago and Dr. Otto Schultze. Of dis
trict attorney SWANS office in New
York. Both Of them after qualifying
gave their opinion that IL would have
heen a physical impossibility for Mrs.
King to have shot herself IN the back
OF the head.
Pistol In Means's Hands.
THE state has not shown that the
pistol which killed Mrs. King was In
the hands OF the defendant. when the
woman died. he added, and began 70
analyze the testimony OF Dr. Bur
meister, taking issue with him on his
findings.
Or. BurmeIster based his whole
case on the fact that he found no
powder burns. Mr.. Osborne claimed.
II he had found powder burns OF
stains he would have admitted Mrs.
King shot herself"
Agree Not An Accident
DR.. Schultze by his experiments
came to the conclusion that the
woman could not have killed herself.
without his taking the powder marks
into consideration.

experts agree" he continued, lis that

McADOO,s BIG MISTAKE.

Announcement that the Liberty Loan is
still many millions short will be a shock to
those who remember the balIyhOo of Sec
rotary MC4Adoo some weeks ago that it
would be Over-subsCribed long before the
closing date, but not to those who under
stand anything about bond sales and psy-
ChOlOgy generally.
Whenever a worthless stock issue is to
be foated, the promoter makes the over
subscription claim that was NCAdoo't first
mistake. He tells the people to buy early
and often, or they will regret it all their
lives. He computes how fast the stream
Of money is pouring in and tells that the
clerks hardly have time for lunch, because
of the tidal wave OF subscriptions to this
Good Thing
Tn such wildcat methods America is
painfully eXperienced--a fact W hi c h
MCAdoo discovered after week of noise
and no results, for he changed methods and
made the only appeal that is legitimate for
such a CrQtiOn-patriOtism
Patriotism will make men give up six
percent investments for three and a half
percent subscriptions; it will make them
deny themselves luNuries for the cause: it
will enable them to understand realities.
Announcement a few DAYS before the
loan closes, that the subscription is $780,
100000 short will do more towards accom-
plishing ver-subscription than ny pro-
phctlC shouting.

Sixty-Fifth Day of America in the War
PERSHING ARRIVES.

Pershing is in Europe; the camp for his
force is ready, the supplies have been dis
embarked and soon 0ur khaki clad heroes
will be on French soil. They may be on
the way even now.
In the meantime a hundred Of our avia-
tors have reached France. Many Of them
are known in Pensacola, and so we have
been brought a little closer to the realities
of war. That they will aCquit themselves
worthily, goes without saying.
Everything goes to show that the United
States is sending the greatest military
force it can spare to the front AS COL
Fabry, in lie Petit Partisan said, 1T is not
an extraordinary corps that will be sent
from the United States, but a veritable
army that will be increasingly swelled by
fresh contingents and is destined to occupy
an ever-increasing front increasingly
swelled" sounds like tautologv, but it indi-
Gates the increasing size of each succeeding
increment.
In September training of million men
will begin, and three months later the next
draft will be made. War operations are on
q grander scale than ever before, and the
United States will prove equal to its part
rather, it will exceed it.
