Castor Means
Is Arrested on
Murder Charge
Held at Concord, on Dooling s
Arrival, as Slayer of
Mrs. King
star Ccrespondencel

CONCORD, n. c., Sept. 22.-Gaston
B. Means was arrested here tonight
on a warrant charging him with the
murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, the
wealthy New York widow, at Black
welder's spring, near here, on Aug
ust 90.
The warrant, sworn out by Solicitor
HAYDEN Clement, of the 18th Judicial
District Of North Carolina, is return .
able before A. B. Palmer, police JUS
tice OF Concord, at the courthouse
here. at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Three or four more arrests are eX-
pected TO be made here within the
next forty-eight hours, according to
Mr.. Clement.
The second coroner's inquest sched-
uled to be held at that time was calle !
off to-day by Solicitor Clement, wher
4 question arose concerning the legal
ity Of second inquest, in view OF the
fact that the verdict at the first had
not been set aside.
Upon the arrival here this morning
Of John T. Dooling, Assistant District
Attorney of New York; DR.. Otto H..
Schultze, attached to the District At.
torney's Office. and Police Captain
William Jones. revolver expert, con-
ference was held and the warrant
sworn and served upon Means by
Sheriff II. A. Caldwell.
The Sheriff, who obtained office with
the assistance of the Means family,
announced that ne had not decided
whether TO allow his prisoner to spend
the night at his home, to quarter him
at hotel or 10 put him in cell. Az
II o'clock tonight he took his prisoner
to the county jail.
Means was taken by surprise at the
action of Solicitor Clements in abandon
ing the plan for a second inquest. HIS
chief counsel, Frank |. Osborne, ex-At-
torney General OF the state, was hastily
summoned from Charlotte by Colonel
W. G.. Means, the accused mans father,
who is also of his counsel. A confer
ence followed in Colonel Means's anti
quated law Office, where Solicitor Glenn
ents's formal announcement OF the
change Of plan was discussed behind
locked doors.
at is al least a debatable question as
70 whether or not the Coroner has the
right 10 reopen the matter. Therefore,
in order to avoid all technlcalities and
complications, | have called of the sec
ond inquest" said Mr.. Clements. But
as | have sufficient evidence 10 hold
CASTOR B. Means for the murder OF
Mrs. King. have had a warrant issued
for Mr.. Means"
When Assistant District Attorney
Dooling and his party arrived they
summoned Solicitor Clements to con-
ference.
Captain Jones told the solicitor that
exhaustive tests made by him showed
that Mrs. King could not have been
killed by the accidental discharge OF a
revolver of the type which caused her
death. DR.. Schultze declared the char
acter of the death wound was such as
could not have been accidentally in
fiicted in the manner described By
Means. Captain ". $. Bingham, mem
Der of the target shooting" party which
ended in the tragedy, was examined, and
VI. F. Richie, hardware dealer, who
sold Means the weapon, WAS questioned.

itary objectives:
Aertyoke, Sparappelhock and Thour-
out airdromes and the Thourout rail-
way station. Bombs also were dropped
near the Atelier de la Marine, az
Ostend. A large quantity of bombs
were dropped with good results.

Royal Flying Corps patrol. All our ma
chimes returned safely"

Congress Plans
No Bernstorff
Case Inquiry
Administration Opposes In,
vestigation; Lansing
Soothes Legislators
TSfaS CoT@pondencri

WASHINGTON, Sept. Gas, appar-
emily, the Administration does not de-
sire any Congressional investigation OF
the connection between German gold
and propaganda levelled at Con-
gress, the strong probability existed to-
night that there would be no inquiry.
Secretary of State Lansing poured oil
on the wounds of Congress delicate
sensibilities to-day by the following
statement:
"If there is any misunderstanding, |
wish to say emphstically do not see
how the Bernstorff message in any way
reflects upon Congress or any member.
Apparently il was the purpose to enl-
ploy agencies to influence them, OF
which they would have no knowledge,
and in case they we're influenced would
be entirely innocent. / do not know
what the organization was. This eN-
pose is apropos of German methods OF
peace propaganda, and there is no in
tention of casting suspicion on mem
bers OF Congress"
Aside from the desire 70 do what the
Administration asks, the situation IN
Congress is this: Most members OF the
House do not believe that Representa-
tive Hefin, or Representative Howard,
have anything real which an investlga-
tion would develop.
The majority IN both houses has
realized that certain Senator's and Rep
resentatives were acting in the interest
of Germany, but there are few in Wash
ington who believe that anv money was
paid 70 any member of the present
Congress, despite the remarkably pro-
German attitudes of some of them.
There are certain members of the last
House who are actually suspected, but
the linen in these cases has been
washed.
There are still many Senators and
Representatives who would like 10 see
an investigation, but il. Is not princi-
pally for the purpose Of removing any
tarnish on the regulations Of members
Of Congress. They would like 10 see
the men who organized the German
propaganda brought up before Con-
gressional committee and forced to tell
where they got the money which paid
for the kilograms.
II is believed. however. from the at
titude taken BY Secretary Lansing that
the Administration does not want this
done, and the inference is drawn that
the Department of Justice intends 20
60 into those very particulars in courts
of justice. in the hope of Furnishing
some OF the men who so freely spent
the Kaiser's money in an effort to con-
vince Congress that this country would
submit to any injury and indignity be-
fore going 70 war with Germany. A
Congressional investigation. it is real
lied, would interfere seriously with
such proceedings by the Department Of
Justice.
Representative HeAin, however, NAV
continue 70 talk in such fashion that
his statements cannot be ignored
"The thirteen or fourteen | spoke Of
know fho they are" he said. 80 does
the public know who they are. Let the
suspicion rest where it ought TO be. If
these men have not enough red blood 70
force an investigation of direct charges
against them, | certainly am not go
ing to-"
