he was taking certain precautions.
The defendants own words and
writings today drew the net of the
law about him. Letter after letter,
written by the defendant, was intro
duced by the state showing that
Means was keeping his alleged vic
tim, Mrs King and her family vir-
tual prisoners. The defendant at
tempted TO mystify Mrs. King by his
power. He directed in letters that
certain notes be pushed under the
