CONCORD, y. g., Noy. .

CONCORD, y. e., Nov -
The mills of justice turned slowly for
castor Il. Means today. Charged with the
murder OF Mrs. Maud \. King, Means sat
restless through the day as conteuding
!'WyeFs sought cIInpetenc jury.
The srist was large but the results were
small. Early this afternoon the jury box
eaped with only three jurors chosen C. p
Culp. farmer; Il. b. Buchanan, mill
Operative. and W l.. Tight farmer were
the three selected.
Greater interest was diplayed TODAY
Throrss hesieged the little courthouse and
Judge Cline was forced tC order the aisIcs

Ihe State hopes 10 ConVic: Means on cir
cunstantial evidence and expert testimony
lhlS was indicated by the character of
questions asked the talesmen hv solicitor
Clement.
The defense questioned all veniremen con-
cern!ns motive. This indicates that the dc.
Tense VIII fight it's case on the basis that
Means had no! motive for killing Mrs. Maud
4. King.
Today there arrived in Concord {. group
or twenty witnesses whose testimony will
be used by the state 10 show a motiy, for
the murder These witnesses are Chicago
bankers and business men. They will offer
testimony 10 show that Means had dissi-
pated the fortune Of James e. King. Chi.

mony TO show that Means had planned TO
put forward an alleged second will OF James
c, King. This will, II allowed would have
incre lsed Mrs. Kings fortune and the state
contends that 1t was this money that Means
sought.
Means was not as blithe today as he has
been. His smiles and winlIs Of yesterday
were missing. With his wife by his side,
he listened attentively to the examination
cf talesmen As the day drew on, he be-
came nervous. His face twitched and lie
chewed nervously at his iingernails.

WILMINGTON. Del. Nov. 20,


Never before in the history OF whining
ton was there such Thanksgiving rush a.
that which took place today when II.
RidGeley Harrington put on sale $500"
worth of fresh turkeys. selling them d.
rectly to the consumer from freight cars
and a motortruck on the cash-and-carry-
home system.
Prices ranged from thirty to thirty-sccen
cents according to the general condition
Of the fowls but few customers bothered
their heads about the seven cents diIference
and paid thrty-sevcn without question.
This was due TO the fact that prices here
tofore quoted in Wilmington and quoted
today in the regular markets have ranged
from forty-fve to fifty cents. Moreover
Harrington, by selling potatoes at Si.35
the bushel and apples at virtually whole
sale rates, has won the confidence ANA sup
port OF the consumers OF the entire city
There were two full carloads Of turkeys
ready this morning. when the sale begun.
BY noon one carload had heeen sold ana
the other was fast being depleted
Harrington realized that something had
20 be done TO Keep his pledge TO the pc pie
10 supply all comers. First he tried to OBJ
tain two more carloads already en- route
to this city but the railway officials told
him fatly IL was impossible t. get them
here today They viii arrive during the
telephoned to agents in philadelphia TO buy
up five-ton motortruCk load and rush
them with all speed. His agents shortly
afterwards reported that the Philadelpha
dealers had Jumped the price two cents IA
pound, because OF their bidding.
Give 'em their two cents, was IIar-
ringtons response. II can stand tt The
agents obeyed orders. and few minutes
before noon the motortruck rolled into the
Pennsylvania Railroad yards at Front and
Justison streets, and lined up alongside the
freight cars. Meanwhile the crowd of
buyers had increased to nearly round
thousand. Men and women waving bills
Of all denominations crowded about the car
doors ard the truck. Nine men doled out
the turkeys as rapidly as they could
weigh them and make change. The birds
weren't wrapped either. As result the
streets In the central part Of the city. as
well as the street cars. were filed with
turkey-aden citizens and citi2eueSScs,
smiling and contented.
The birds were fresh. clean. well picked
fairly fat and with eyes" which distin-
Kuiah the fresh-kled fowl from the storage
The rush continued at o'c,oc; taS att
ernoon. when there was little Indication O.
a let-up.
Meanwhile the regular city markets were
virtually deserted. Their dealers began by
asking hfty cents a pound for turkeys
As there were no bidders. the price dropped
by noon TO forty-tive. Still there were m
bidders. This afternoon the price was still
falling. but there We're very few buyers
All Wilmington was turkey trotting Ia
H. Rldgeley Harrington.
Harrington this afternoon said he had
invested $4,000 in the turkey stock from
which he expected TO make siG5 profit.
