the body in Chicago, remaining close

Means claims Mrs. King had on
high-heeled slippers when she STUN
bled and fell, discharging the pistol
he says, accidentally killing her.
Weddington testified Mrs. King had
on no slippers or anything but hose
on her feet when he got the body the
night OF her death. He remembered
that because he examined her broken
ankle.

DR.. Burmeister, who has the bullet
taken from Mrs. Kings head at the
midnight autopsy in Chicago, after
the authorities suspicious were
aroused, then took the stand. His
testimony is expected to prove that
Mrs. King could not have died acci-
dentally or by her own hand as
Means says she did. Burmeister
described the autopsy.
In describing the wound he told
how the bullet entered two inches
above and two behind the left ear,

the offices Of Castor. williams 4
Wigmore. At these conferences the
firm was usually represented by
Milton J. Budlong. q vice president.
In telling Of the conferences, Mr..
Wells said:
THE boats which had been made
for Russia were capable Of carrying
guns and might have been termed
warshlps. 1t was not in the lines OF
neutrality for the United States to
permit them to be sent abroad, II II
was proved that they were to be used
as submarine chasers. The boats had
been passed upon by the neutrality
board Of New York.
Conference Revelations.
As our conferences continued. il
became more and more apparent to
me that my client was not very anx-
ious to do business. He found any
number OF objections to the contract,
as outlined by the proposed seller.
Another boat builder was consult
ed and was told the plans Of my
client This man, l knew, was
financed by ]. P. Morgan 4 Co
Negotiations were continued with
CASTOR, Williams & Wigmore, and at
last 1 was told all differences were
settled except one. Ny client, It was
said, sought a clause at the end OF the
contract by which the seller would
agree to transport the completed
boats on his vessels to England.
This appeared to me to be a pro-
vision quite impossible. The demand
almost convinced me that my client
did not want to do business. And l
wanted nothing to do with a man
who was not sincere. II would hurt
me as much as 1t would him, IL the
business failed to go to some response
BILE person.
Questions OF the contract, however.
were of no concern TO me, they being
purely legal questions. My part was
to see that the British government
got the goods 1t sought to buy,
namely, an exact duplicate OF the
boats Russia had purchased.
FInaI Meeting Set.
About two or three weeks after I
first met Mills, or Means. l was told
to attend a ifnal meeting at the Bilt-
more Hotel when the papers would be
signed by both parties. The hour was
set for 1890 p. m.
"Just previous to that hour l, with
Colonel Morgan. the attorney, and
Means were seated In room await
ing the representatives of GastOn,
Williams & wIEmore. Mills, or
Means, sat on a divan reading a news
paper.
Then was sprung the melodramatic
touch to the whole game which con-
WINGED me / was mixed up in q mys-
terious deal founded on inslncerity.
"a rap was heard and Colonel Nor
gan opened the door. Immediately
Mills raised his paper and shielded
his face. A young man slipped into
the room through the open door. l
had never seen him before. l have
never seen him since.
"He assumed a dramatic posture
and said: I understand that you men
propose to sign contracts today for
the purchase of supplies for Great
Britain Let me warn you that the
goods never will leave TINS country un-
less sent through the proper chan

FOR SUB CHASERS

NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-That former
German Ambassador Won Bernstorff
advanced CASTOR B. Means, a leading
figure in the King tragedy the sum
Of $4,000 cash with which to build and
equip fake submarine chasers for Ger
many has become known here. Means,
alleged to have appeared under the
name OF Mr. Mills began his opera
tions to aid the Germans in breaking
the British blockade in 1915.
The scheme laid before the German
representation was an idea Means
had evolved in his own brain. He pro
posed to build thirty-six submarine
chasers in this country. sending them
to Germany by way OF Sweden, carry
ing large cargoes of rubber and cop.
per for which Germany at that time
was in need.
Means told Bernstorff the approNi-
mate cost of the undertaking would
be 81 900, 900 and received an advance
payment OF s4OO, 1000.
