MEANS DENIES
MURDER GUILT
BUSINESS AGENT FOR WEALTHY
WIDOW HELD AS
SLAYER.

Concord, N. c., Sept. 24.-Concord
was thronged today for the arraign-
ment Of CASTOR B. Means, charged in a
warrant sworn out Saturday by So
licitor Hayden Clement, with the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Maude A. King, wealthy
widow for whom Means acted as bust
ness agent
Means is backed by an array of lie.
gal talent, including four attorneys of
Concord and two from Charlotte, one
of them being Frank S. Osborne,
brother of James w. Osborne. former
district attorney of New York. Mrs.
Anna L. Robinson and William and
Paul Robinson, mother and brothers
of Mrs. King, are represented by P. C..
McDufle of Atlanta.
NO SECOND INQUEST.
It first was planned to hold second
inquest, but counsel for the state
abandoned that plan and had Means
arrested.
At the inquest Means testified that
Mrs. King accidentally shot herself,
and the coroneTs jury returned a ver-
dict to that effect. ELIMINATION of the
body after 1t was taken to Chicago and
investigation by District Attorney
Swami in New York, where Mrs. King
formerly lived, resulted in Solicitor
Clements decision to reopen the in.
vestigation here. @
Solicitor Clements late last night
went to the Jail at Means request and
there the latter reiterated his inno-
cence
DEMANDS CHANGE OF VENUE.
AS his preliminary trial started,
Means asked through counsel for hear
ing before another magistrate than A.
B. Palmer. Under North Carolina
law this request must be granted.
Means entered a plea Of not guilty.
CALLS SUICIDE IMPOSSIBLE.
DR.. William Burmeister, chief coro-
ner's physician Of Chicago, testified
that in his opinion it would have been
impossible for Mrs. King to have held
the pistol which inflicted her death
wound, August 20. At the coroner's
inquest Means testified that Mrs. King
accidentally shot herself and that he
was several yards away.
Dr. Burmeister said the wound was
two inches above the opening of the
left ear and that there was no evidence
of powder burns.
