ty or indebtedness, capital stock is
sues, stock transfers, produce sales
on exchanges, drafts, promissary notes,
conveyance and deeds, customs house
entries, steamship tickets, proxies, as
signments of power of attorney, play
ing card?, and parcel post packages.
None are required on checkE.
All stamps are sold by postoflices
except those for stock transfers and
produce sales which are distributed
through revenue collectors. Millions
of dollars in receipts are expected to
reach the treasury from this source. -
The taxes are similar to those im
posed during the Spanish war and by
emergency revenue act of 1914.
On capital stock transfers, from
which the government expects to de
rive a large revenue, and which will
fall heavily on stock exchanges, the
tax is two cents for each $100 or frac
tion of the face value. Stamps are to
be affixed to the stock books, not to
the certificate of sale or exchange.
For produce sales on exchanges the
tax is 2 cents for $100 of value of the
merchandise covered by the agreement
and stamps are to be affixed to the
memorandum or bill of sale. The law
cobers transferred or scratch sales and
ales for future delivery.
Bonds of indebtedness are taxed 5
cents for each $100 of face value or
fraction and renewals are .taxed as
new issues.
Indemnity and surety bonds are
subject to a tax' of 50 cents, or one
percent of the premium charged for
the execution of the bond. Bonds or
policies of re-insurance are exempt.
A tax of cents is levied on each
original issue of certificates of stock,
either on organization or re-organization,
of face value of $100 or fraction.
To meet the practice in some states of
issuing stock without face value, it is
specified that the tax shall be laid on
the actual value If there is no face
value.
For drafts or checks payable other
than at sight or on demand, and for
promissory notes and their removal,
the tax is 2 cents for each $100 or
fraction. This levy will lay a burden
particularly on the banking business.
Ordinary bank checks are not tax
able. - Realty conveyance and deeds are
taxed 50 cents where the value of the
'nterest conveyed is between $100 and
$500, and 50 cents for each additional
$500 or fraction. Deduction may be
made of only a lien or encumbrance
remaining on the property at the time
or sale.
Before any parcel post package may
accepted by a postoffice it must bear,
in addition to the regular postage, rev
enue stamps amounting to one cent
or each 25 cents postage or fraction.
. The entry of goods at a customs
"house for consumption or warehousing
is taxable 23 cents when the value is
not more, than $100;' 50 cents when the
value is between $100 and $500, and $1
when the Aralue exceeds $500.
Passage tickets to trans-Atlantic.
South American, or other ports not in

ternal, educational or literary organi
zations, must bear 10 cent, revenue

MRS. KING'S AGED
MOTHER TESTIFIES
(Continued From Page One)
checks made payable to her and en
dorsed with her name were presented
to her for identification, whereupon
she acknowledged that she received the
money for the checks, but said she did
not believe the endorsements were her
signature. -
Separated From Mrs. King.
Mrs. Robinson also told a story of
hoW during the last two years Gaston
Meafis had been instrumental in keep
ing Mrs. King sway from her. never
allowing her. to see her . daughter and
always interfering and separating them
if by chance they did. happen to get
together. She also testified that on one
occasion when she was ill Means took
her medicine away from her, saying
he believed the physician was doping
i her, and that on another occasion
i Means.- moved her from- the hotel on
short notice because he said, according
to her statement, that a woman had
arrived -who-was liable" to give them
trouble, and they must get awa,.; She
testified' ..also.:-.that she was. never ad
vised of the death of her daughter un
til two hours before the dead body was
presented. to her at Asheviile.
Mrs. " Robinson was a -very willlns
witness, too willing, indeed, to suit the
convenience of the court, the state or
the defense. She talked very low and
it was impossible for Judge Cline, the
jury and the attorneys for tho state
and defense to hear her at the same
time.
Stenographer Read Answer.
After repeated efforts and argument
and complaint of the defense that they
could not hear what she was savlner.
the court stenographer took a seat be
side her and read aloud her answers
to the questions propounded. Almost
invariably she did not stop at a sim
ple, direct question, but continued with

comment, which was ruled out of evi
dence and which the defense was loatn
to have the jury hear. Once or twice
Judge Cline left the bench and stood
close in front of her to hear and to in
struct her. about answering questions.
F. I. Osborne likewise stood close to
her and stooped over her chair chair in
cross-examination.
"When being questionedi about mat
ters concerning her deceased daugh
ter, she weakened several times and
had to pause and apply smelling salts.
She said she is 76 years of age.
Slow Progress in Trial.
So slow has been the progress of the
trial the last two days that all hope of
concluding it before the middle of next
week has been abandoned and some of
the attorneys in the case have admit
ted the likelihood that another week
may be consumed. Judge Cline this
afternoon'sent a message to the sheriff
of Randolph county, where he was
scheduled to convene court Mondav
instructing him to adjourn the court
there from December 3 to December 10,
Solicitor Hayden Clement concurring.
The state today introduced only three
witnesses in addition to Mrs. Robinson,
these being Dr. Otto Schultz, patholog
ist attached to the office of District At
torney Swann, who qualified as an ex
pert on' autopsies and the effect of pis
tol wounds; A. Leonard Johnson, who
told the story of the trust created by
Mrs. King for the benefit of her mother
and later revoked, and Henry Vanstory,
assistant manager of a tourist hotel .t
Asheville, who testified as to the ar
rivals, and departures of Gaston B.
Means, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. King, Mrs.
Melvin, W. R. Patterson, father-in-law
of the defendant.' and others associate
last
Experts' Testimony Unshaken.
Dr. Schultz declared that in his opin
ion it was impossible for a person to
self-Inflict such a wound as tnat which
appears from evidence to have been the
cause of Mrs. King's death, either In
tentionally or accidentally. Vigorous
effort was made by the defense to
shake his testimony, but without avail;
he maintained and repeated and empha- i
sized his- declaration under the rapid
fire of questions plied by E. T. Pansier
of counsel for the defense. He took a"
25-calibre Colt automatic pistol, the
i t'P with which Mrs. King was killed.
I according to the evidence, and made a
physical demonstration-of what he de
dared the Impossibility of a person
holding the weapon in such position as
to fire a shot to make such a wound ad
was found in Mrs. King's head.
Mr. Johnson told of an agreement of
trust made in 1911 between Mrs. King
and the Merchants' Loan & Trust Jom
pany by which $125,000 was held in
trust by the bank, composed of various
securities, from the income of which
Mrs. Robinson was to receive $600 a
month during her natural life and Mrs.
King the balance. Each month the
bank sent Mrs. Robinson a check for
the $600. In 1916 Gaston Means came
to the bank, having previously been in
troduced as Mrs. King's business agent,
and asked the institution to make Mrs.
King a loan upon the security of the
trust fund which would revert to her
at her motner's death. Being an un
usual sort of transaction, the trust
company declined to transact it.
Means. Got Securities.
In December, 1916, Means came and
stated tjiat Mrs. King, being in need of
funds, desired to. revoke the trust and
was advised this could .be done ey
upon application and receipt' signed
jointly by Mrs; Robinson and Mrs. King.
Later Means returned the necessary
document, the trust was revoked and
the securities delivered to Means, who
gave the bank a trust in full for them.
' Not -long afterwards Means deposited
in the commercial department of the
j same bank $110,000 , to nis own creait,
Afterwards he brought $35,000 of the
securities which had constituted the
trust and secured a loan of $35,000.
Thereafter, for a period, each month
Means came to the bank and bought a
draft for $1,000, paying 'cash for it,
drawn In favor of Mrs. Robinson and
on the same sort of blank check as the
bank had used in remitting her $600 a
month while the trust existed and de
sired the same sort of envelope In
which to mail .it to Mrs. Robinson.
. Denies Genuineness of Signature.
Later Mr3. Rbbtnson testified that
Means told her he had Increased her
monthly stipend from $500 to $1,000,
but did not explain why. She denied
that the signature purporting to be
hers on the application and revocation
of the trjast was ners. though she said
it was an imitation of her signature.
On "cross-examination the defense
sought to brea"k,' the testimony of Mr.
Johnson by forcing jhim. to admit that
he did not personally see all the mon
eys and checks in the transactions
which he had -described and which he
admitted, but explained that one indi-I
vidual .-.in a large. . banking institution.
could never see all moneys and papers
bandied through the house personally.
He ha.d to .go. to. the records as to some
of the checks,' drafts etc., but he had
personal knowledge of the trust fund,
the securities and the revocation
thereof. The state seeks to show that
Means revoked , the trust without Mrs.
Robinson's knowledge and increased
the monthly payments to her so as to
keep her ignorant of the revocation of
the trust, according to Mr. Clement.

Counsel for the defense stated posi
tively today in reply to a categorical
question that they had. not decided

whether or not Means would go on the
stand. Solicitor Clement, on the other
hand, said that the state would force
i the defendant to testify before the
trial ended.
Solicitor Clement stated tonight that
no action would be taken regarding the
action of Henry Deitch, who made a
show of protest against Mrs. Robinson
being taken into the court house, as
there was no actual attempts at inter
ference with the court's processes.
NORWEGIANS "SURRENDERED"
WHEN STJRFMEN WENT ABOARD
An Atlantic Port, Nov. 30. Sending
out a boat to what they supposed to bt
a deserted ship, surfmen guarding the
coast near here found the crew of a
Norwegian bark huddled below decks,
in great fear, and the skipper prompt
ly informed the captain of the surfmen
that they had made no resistance and
offered to surrender his ship.
Inquiry developed the. fact that in the
dense fog the bark had drifted so far
Inshore . while beating the Atlantic
coast, that stray shots from a govern
ment rifle range where troops were
engaged in target practice had whis
tled through sails and rigging.
The Norwegians ' thought they had
been attacked from the shore for vio
lation, of some new navigation law put
into force owing to the war, and of
which they were ignorant. Explana
tions quieted the men and the bark
proceeded to port.
