Kings Millions Saved
To Home for Old Men
Special Dlspoich to Tha tribune

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Judpe Jesse
Baldwin. of the Circuit Court. today
upheld the will Of James c. King. MIL
honalre Chicago lumberman. under
which the King Home for Old Men was
at $50 East Garfield Boule-
ward. Judge Baldwin refused to recog-
nize al alleged second will. under
which nearly $4,000 900 would be taken
away from the old mems home and
turned over to Mrs. Mary C. Melvin,
sister OF Mr.. Kings widow.
Mrs. Melvin appeared as the sponsor
for tho alleged second will because
her sister. Mrs. Maude King, was shot
and killed at Concord, \. H., August
20, 1917. CASTOR B. Means, of New
York and Concord, her business mana
ger. at whose home she was Tisiting
was tried and acquitted on q charge o.
numbering her.
Judge Baldwin severely criticized
Means's association With the Will case
NO fair consideration OF this case"
he said "can ignore the fact that
CASTOR B. Means is shown to be the
controlling and dominating spirit in
the attempt to establish this Will. In
deed, the conclusion is Irresistible that
Mrs. King and Mrs. Melvin were sin
gurlarly under his influence. and
were largely dominated by his strong
personality and inflexible will"
