SPEECHES BEGIN
 IN MEANS TRIAL
Eight Lawyers Are Heard and Ten Others Are
 Yet to Talk

Concorn, N. C., Decemb CT 12-Argument in which the state asked for the death penalty for Gaston B. Means and the defense contended that Mrs. Maude A. King, the woman who he Is alleged to have killed, shot herself accidentally when she stumbled and fell, consumed nearly seven hours here today. The state contended Means squandered the wom ans money and killed her to avoid an accounting.
 Solicitor Clement made the opening address for the state and two of the de- fendant's eight lawyers had spoken be- fore adjournment tonight. Four speeches six for the defense, and it was regarded as doubtful whether the case will get to the jury before Friday.
 Mrs. King, for whom Means was \em- ployed as business agent, inherited Nap- proximately $1,000,000 from the late James C. King of Chicago, her second hus- band, and in the opening address the solicitor contended that in 1906 Mrs King possessed $S35,000 in addition to a life interest in a trust fund of s4O0,- GOO. In the nine years prior to the time Means became connected with her af- fairs, the solicitor asserted, she spent only $150,000, although travelling exten- sively in Europe and this country. With in a year after Means began handling her affairs $1S5oO0 disappeared, the so- licitor declared. and at the time of her

NO NEW INFORMATION ION CRACKSMAN WHO
 TEMPERED WITH SAFE

The secret service men are still hard at work trying to obtain clues as to the identity of the man or men who attempted to blow the safe in the in- ternal revenue office Monday night, but up to last night little new information had been brought to light.
 The robbery was evidently the result of some transformation. as the vault contained less than s5 in money and few papers of value.
 After gaining admittance through a transom the would-be burglar proceed ed to screw to the facings all the doors to prevent entrance from the outside. Three small holes were bored in the vault door near the lock but because of some reason at present not known the visitors abandoned the task.
 It was denied by the officials that traces of nitroglycerine were found near the safe lock or anywhere in the room and no evidence of the cracks of the doors being "chinked'' to deaden the sound of an intended explosion was found.
