More curious letters found in the
apartment of CASTOR b. Means at 1855
Park avenue were studied by Dooling
yesterday. One OF the strangest of all
he was able to read to MIRA Katheryn
Foraker. widow Of the son Of the late
Ohio Senator. and formerly a close
friend Of Mrs. King, when Mrs. Foraker
returned yesterday from visit to Con-
cord.
Threats Against "Buster."
The letter was written only . few
weeks ago The names Of the sender
and recipient Mr.. Dooling would not dis
close. Apparently It was written to an
intimate Of the writer In Asheviile.
N. c.. where Mrs. King, her sister, Mrs.
Melvin. and mother. Mrs. Robinson, were
together early in August. Tho letter
begins:
IT will be ready to Join all OF you
there just as soon as have settled once
for all and finally Buster"
The only Buster" known to those who
have been following the King case Is
Mrs. Foraker. That was the nickname
by which she was known to Mrs. King.

when Mrs. Foraker lived in Mrs King 8
home. Tho letter continues:
But let me impress upon all OF you
the Importance Of putting a quietus on
Buster forever. which I will have to do
before 60 away from All of

the above addresses (which were given) f.

Apropos Of this Mr.. Dooling said: I'VE

matter Is too important for further dis

Late In July Of this year a man whose
name has been mentioned in reports of
the investigation wrote TO somebody in
North Carolina: 'I am convinced ha d

that l can have a carbon copy so I will

Another Important Letter.
Still another letter which Mr.. Doolins
seemed to prize especially had this: II

portance you have" Apparently he
thought this might have some bearing
on the efforts Of tho investigators TO de-
termine the validity OF the Second Kins

which he was collecting shortly before
Mrs King died.
Mrs. Foraker. upon her return from
Concord yesterday. went straight to Mr.
Doolings once. She gave him an &C
count Of what she had learned In Con-
cord and. at the start Of the interview
at least, warmly defended CASTOR Means
She was rather disturbed, however, when
she learned that somebody had been In.

stories he had heard that within the past
two years Mrs. King had lost . lot OF
money In shaking dice with friends ir

measure she confirmed them. She as.
serted that shs too had lost-as much
as $4,000 in . single game. She said
that the women who toyed with the
dice In these friendly evening parties
had distressing habit Of losing
