TRIAL OF MEANS TO
 CONTINUE BETTE R
 PARTsPRESENT WEEK
Sister of Mrs. King, Whom Defendant Is Accused of Killing, Will Tes-
 tify for Defense

Concord, N. C., December 9.-There was little prospect tonight. in the view of those concerned with the case, that with the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King of New York, which began Monday, November 26. will be concluded before the end of the coming week. It was ex- pected that a large part of tomorrow will be consumed by the cross-examination. redirect and re-cross- examination of the defendant, who had occupied the stand from Thursday morning until court adjourned Saturday night.
 Interest in tomorrows s proceedings cen ters in the states effort to break down the testimony of the defendant as to the circumstances of the death of Mrs. King at Blackwelder Spring on August 29 Thus far the cross-examination has not touched upon that phase of the case, but when court adjourned Saturday night it appeared to be approaching the last weeks of Mrs. Kings life and the circumstances leading up to her death.
 Among the witnesses expected to be n- troduced by the defense are Mrs. Julie H. Means, wife of the defendant, and Mrs Mary c. Melvin, sister of Mrs King. Mrs. Melvin has occupied a seat in the bar of the court with the relatives of the defendant most of the time since the trial began two weeks ago.
