u.Mystery in Murder Cast*.
Mis'. Maude A. King, widow of n
Chicago millionaire, was' killed at
Concord. N. C.. early In the night of
August and although a coroner's
Jury found that the killing was the re
sult of an accident, there is now in
progress :i new investigation that is
working on the Uio.ory of murder. At
time of her death Mrs. King was at a
spring in tho country with her secre
tary, (iiistou H. Moans. Mean- said
that ho put an automatic pistol in the
fork of ii tree and started to the spring
to get a drink of water. He looked
around and saw Mrs. King with the
.pistol in* her hand, lie Informed her
that the pistol was loaded and danger
ous and told her to put it down. She
did so. Ho then turned to the spring
??gain, and a moment later ho heard
i pistol shot. Looking around. lie
-an Mrs. Khig falling to the ground.
She died without spenkiiig. The coro
ner's jury returned a verdict of acci
dcntal killing. Chicago relatives havo
brohght about a re-opening of the
case. Charle# S. Dev. who lives near
the spring, hus tostitiod that ho heard
two pistol shots, whereas the men who
wore in the party with the woman said
there was only one shot. Examina
tion of the woman's body disclosed
that her ankle had been broken- just
before her death : but there is no tos
tlinony us to how this may have been
done, (iaston H. Means, the secretary,
denies any complicity in the ilentli of
Mrs. King.
