MEANS WILL GO ON WITNESS STAND IN
 HIS OWN BEHALF

Concord, N. C., December 4.-Additional details of the financial transactions of Gaston B. Means in which Mrs. Maude brought out by the state today in cross examination of defense witnesses at the trial of Means on the charge of hav- ing murdered the wealthy Chicago widow
 Details of these transactions, which were the first admissions by witnesses for the defense that Means had lost money for Mrs. King, for whom he acted as business agent, and announcement that Means himself would take the stand were the outstanding features of the day.
 Announcement that the defendant would go on the witness stand was made by Frank I. Osborne of counsel for the defense, who, in the absence of the jury, was arguing for the right to put w. P. Grier a Statesville attorney, on the stand to testify that pistol of the type that killed Mrs. King could be placed in the fork of a nearby tree, from which the defense claims she took the weapon,
 The state was sustained in it's objection to such testimony, on the ground that there had been no question of thls, and MT. Osborne then stated Means himself would take the stand later and explain this point to the jury.
 From questions asked today 1t began to appear that the defense would con- tend that Mrs. King had picked up the pistol while Gaston Means. the only other person nearby was drinking at g spring, and that she ripped on a root frac- tured a small bone in her ankle and fell, the weapon being discharged and killing her
