close tonight of the weeks battle in
the trial of CASTOR B. Means for the
murder of Mrs. Maude A. King the
verdict apparently seemed as far in the
distance as it appeared to be when
the court convened Monday morning.
When court adjourned about $3.50
o'clock this afternoon until Monday
morning those taking part in the case
entertained little hope that the con-
clusion would be reached before the
end of the coming week
Judge Cline indicated he purposed
putting in a full day Saturday. but
when the state reached the point this
afternoon that it announced its readi-
iness to present and read to the jury
the numerous letters and other papers
filed with the court Thursday. in which
signatures and handwriting of the de-
fendant had been identified by A. b.
Melville. Chicago lawyer and former
attorney of Mrs. King. the defepse
made the point that only today had 1t
been able to secure copies of the docu-
ments Solicitor Hayden Clement
offered no resistance to the request of
the defense that court adjourn for the
day to allow Means counsel the after
noon for perusing with the defendant
the papers to be offered by the state,
and Judge Cline finally acQuiesced.
The state today added considerable to
its evidence of motive for the crime
charged against Means. through testi-
mony of Chicago bankers and brokers.
who told of transactions Means had
with their institutions. incidentally one
of the witnesses. John r. Todd, Chicago
broker. brought out the evidence of the
defendants alleged connection with the

when Means first sought to open an ac-
count, he stated in connection with his
introduction that he was a secret COM

to the witness a book in which were
some numbers, one of which the defend
ant said. was the private telephone
