DECISION EXPECTED
ON APPLICATION FOR
CONTEMPT CITATION

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. S.-Federal
Judge Webb was to hand down his de
cision here today on the application OF
attorneys for CASTOR B. Means for a
contempt of court citation against As
sistant District Attorney Dooling OF
New York, and his legal associates as
sisting the North Carolina prosecution
of Means for the alleged murder OF
Mrs. Maude King.
The Judge was to decide whether 1t
was contempt" for Dooling to fail TO
deliver certain of Means papers seized
in New York to the county authorities,
in the face of affidavits by Dooling
that the papers at the time had been
turned over to Solicitor Clement, of
North Carolina. Clement also had
sworn he and not the New Workers had
possession of these papers when the
court order was served.
Should Judge Webb issue the con-
tempt order. it will admittedly have
several weighty results. One would be
in strengthening the effort of the de-
Tense to discredit the New York prose
cution contingent as 'interlopers in the
case" Another would be that the
prosecution might be thrown utterly on
the defensive in what may develop into
furious tilt for possession of papers,
which, 1t is freely indicated. may prove
turning point evidence in the case.

Is not SO much concerned with the
