the widow, who died under accidental
circumstances
ihe documentary evidence shows
that both Mr.. Dooling and Mr.. Swami
acted as the paid agents of the North
ern Trust Company."'
Says Plot Was Amazing
Colonel Fielder added that "in all NV
years at the bar have never seen such
amazing prostitution of official au-
thorlty, and letters which Mr. Means
seized show that both Mr.. Dooling and
Mr. Swami were completely dominated
by the officers and ATTORNEYS Of the
Northern Trust Company, who went so
Tar M as to plan the legal execution of
MY Means to prevent the probate OF
the last will of James King
The letters alleged to have been
seized by Means and referred to by Mr..
Feider, the latter said. came from the
oftlce of the District Attorney.
IN reply to the complaint and MIR.
relder's statement, District Attorney
Swami said:

subjected to the irresponsible state
Iments of Colonel Fielder, the Atlanta
lawyer, or of the equally irres ponsihle

A. Robinson King who for some time
had resided in New York City, was
shot TO death in lonely wood on the
outskirts of Means's native village in

ent except CASTOR B. Means. The
wound was in the back of the left ear
Experts testified that it was impos-
slble for the woman to have inflicted
the wound herself. Every person who
investigated the facts of the case were
convinced that CASTOR B. Means muir
dered Mrs. King, and as there was n
motive for a cold blooded murder of
TINS sort the District Attorney under
took to discover the motive for the
murder
I'VE soon discovered that there was
forged will of Mrs. Kings late hus-
band purporting to leave $4,000. 900
estate to Mrs King and to various per
sons who subsequently appeared as
witnesses IN favor of the forged will
We found what purported to be a con-
tract recently entered into by Mrs.
King whereby she agreed to give
Means about S95O,000 if he could find
a will in her favor. Means found IT.
by what means the court in Chicago
has told you, as they have pronounced
tNe alIegeu second VIII to be q
forgery.
Means is now making further
efforts to probate the forged will. the
