sistcnt questioning.
"My brother Castor Is not coming
North, SO far as know; at least, uhti'
the aspects Of the case down South are
cleared up" he added. Closetcd with
Mr.. DoolinC. Means went over the story
Of the shooting again, as far as ne was
a witness TO Il.
New Facts Revealed
From this account several important
additions TO the reports already made
public were brought to light. Alton
admitted that II was not until almost
twcuty-four hours after the shooting
before Mrs. Kings mother, Mrs, kobln.
son. living at ASheviile, was ho''heu u
her daughters death.
According to Mr.. DoolinG. Means CN-
planned this by saying that the teie-
rrauh office at Concord, where the
shooting took place, had closed for the
might some time before. lie did not
explain why Mrs Robinson had not
been communicated with that night by
telephone. as the two places are with
ing easy telephone distance.
Alton Means also stated that Mrs.
Kings body. hardly cold, Rad been
taken from the Concord Hospital, d.
rcctly across the street, 90 an under
taking establishment, where orders Tor
Its immediate cmhaimlnG were given.
Warning from New York
Late that night, according to Alton
Nlcans's story. some one telcphoned TO
the Means house, 20 the undertaking
establishment where the body was
lying and 90 the local sheriff. In each
case the unidentified man on the wire
urged that the body be not prepared
for burial before there had been a
thorough investigation. The phone
calls were said to have come from New
York.
In spite Of these warnings, the body
was taken next day 70 Chicago, accom-
panied by CASTOR Means and Mrs. Mel
vln. Alton Means said that he had
STAYED in AshCville with Mrs. Robin
son, who had refused to go TO the
funeral
Mrs. Kings mother resented Atoms
presence. he admitted. asserting he had
been placed in her hotel TO keep watch
over her. She complained 10 the man
agCr of the hosiery. and Means moved
TO another hotel, staying in Ashevlll".
however, until the arrival Of his broth
CT and Mrs. Melvin from Chicago again.
Going back 20 the moment of the
shooting Alton Means said he had
heard a report, but no screams or eX-
carnations. At the time, he was about
i25 yards away from the spring. where
Mrs. King and Castor were stopping.
Alton was accompanied by Captain
Bingham, who made up the fourth
member Of the party, which started out
at dusk, with several firearms for tar
get practice.

Then il was learned that Means had
slipped by the Gordon and had arrive !
a. the Park Avenue house. Mr.. Doc
ling followed close on his heels, and
met him IN the apartment within a few
minutes of his arrival there.
Alton Means is soft-spokcn, mill
hammered. rather heavy man, looking
much older than the twenty-five years
he processes. lie wore a Gght-colored
suit and brown soft hat, and could
be picked out Of crowd Of Northern
crs easily by his naturally dark com
plcNiOn.
He exhibited surprise at the appear
auce Of Mr.. DooIuG. He was amazed
20 learn that his coming had been
heraldcd and was nonp!usscd at his
reception.
Il don't know why they are taking
me" he repeated, on the way down 10
the Criminal Courts Building. He had
nut up no fuss when he was served by
Mr.. Dooling with the District Attor-
news subpoena. but protested that he
knew nothing more about the case than
had been printed already.

Details Retard GOIfng N0Uice

in the main the same, but they all have
these little individual adjustments. No two
players have the same preliminary motions
of address, and when the stroke is finished
the watching of the ball has Individual
characteristics. With a little moro use OF
the wrist or of the arms or Of the trunk
Smith, Brown and Robinson have managed
to acquire a stroke that Is all their own.
This leads me to point that think very
important in the teaching of a player. The
great fault of present-day instruction is
too great attention to detail. Now detail Is
largely associated with individual charac-
teristics and must be adjusted to them. My
belief is that one should get the general
ideas and see that they are rigldly adhered
to, but should let the little distinguishing
marks take care of themselves.
The big argument to be advanced In sup
port of this theory is that player cannot
think of one hundred and one little rules
and make a good golf shot at the same
time From his professional or from his
friends who happen to be good players a
man may learn the underlying principles of
a good swing, but upon his own physique
will rest the individual characteristics Golf
swings vary just as much as the persons
who make them. In the main we are all
alike, but in small details we are all differ

I would like to know whether It Is better to
play always with better players who nvariably
trim me-" or play occasionally with inferior
players who can't teach me anything. 1t gets
monotonous to be beaten constantly.

The good players set a standard for you to
live up to, and you II learn more by playing with
them at least occasionally. Play c0olly and

Director Wilson to Try Again

And no one will be more delighted to
know there is a fifth flight than William
II. Wilson. Director of Public Safety The
Director. like many other of the men who
made an early start, did not get going well
until late in the round, So naturally, he Is
anxious to vindicate himself in the eyes
of the Bala players. One Of the amusing
situations last year was when Mr.. Wilson
and Charley Corr, also a prominent mem
ber of Bala, were playing together in the
qualifying round at Shawnee. both Of them
were playing the Binniekill hole, which Is
mostly water with bit of turf on either
side of the stream to make up the tee and
green. Max Marston, one of the finest play
ers in the country, was waiting to play the
hole, but he got interested in the discussion
between Corr and Wilson. Neither was cer-
tain whether each had taken ten or twelve
shots on the hole and both were SO serious
about it that when they did hole out the
righteousness Of the situation appealed to
much to Marston that he put two balls into
the stream himself. In justice to both
Messrs. Wilson and Corr 1t might be said
that both of them negotiated the hole in
the qualifying round on Thursday without
wetting a single ball.
