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.
