DEFENSE council
MOST ECONOMICAL
Members OF Virginia Body Have Even
Paid Their, Own Travelling
Expenses

Comparative figures just made pub
lie indicate that the operations of the
Virginia council of defense have been
conducted along lines Of the greatest
economy.
While other commemorative have
expended all the way from $50, 900 to
several millions of dollars each
through their defense councils the Vir-
ginia body up TO this time has been
able to carry on its work on an ex-
penditure OF only $4,000.
When war conditions confronted
the country 1t WAS thought by some
that ii would become necessary to call
the legislature into extra session.
However, the governor decided to call
together a body OF citizens for the
purpose of doing all that could be
ditions, The citizens named, as well,
as the officers and members OF their
numerous affiliated and subsidiary
bodies, have given their services and
have even paid their own travelling
expenses.
The Virginia council is made up Of
the following members: General E
w. Nichols. st$erintendent OF the Vir-
ginia Military institute, chairman.

IAfTon MEANS ON
| STAND AT CONCORD
tini Papers Arc Kept From Them
BY Dooling,

Courthouse, Concord. N. c., Dec. g.
THE papers'---this was the gist OF
the afternoons work in the trial OF
CASTOR B. Means, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Maude A. King.
For long hours there was storm
OF legal tactics about the papers. The
defense fought bitterly to show the
defendant is una bic to present n prop
er defense for his life because As
sistant District Attorney Dooling, of
New York. has illegally seized the
papers" The defense contends that
among the papers" seized were the
full accounts of transactions carried
on by the defendant and Mrs. Maude
A. King. The defense contends these
papers were seized by Dooling and
have not been seen since.
Solicitor Clement and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dooling declare the
papers were taken Illegally with the
consent OF Alton Means. They de-
clare they have never seen these &C
counts.
The storm today beat around Alton
Means. brother OF the defendant. For
long hours he was on the stand and
underwent "fatherly" sort of cross
examination from Dooling
Concord for New York at the direc-
ton OF the defendant to get tine
papers" in the New York apartment
He declared that on the night of his
arrival "Mr. Dooling. Detective WOOD
and a policeman" entered the apart
rnent and seized papers. He declared
It was over his protest that the papers
were removed.
On cross examination the witness
was severely examined as to whether
or not he had not assented TO the
removal of the papers. He stead
lastly maintained that he hed not.
Cross examination also brought
from the witness the statement that
he might have stated on the night
of the tragedy that Mrs. King was
killed "fooling with the gun"
Alton Means will resume the stand
tomorrow. He will most probably be
followed on the stand by the defend
