NORTH CAROLINA’S
GENTLEMAN CROOK
I I
The passing of Gaston Moans lias
brought to light Uv Interesting
picture of ilie matFs life. Louis
Graves, editor and piMllsher of The
Cliapel Hill Weekly who knew
Means when ho was ui.studont at the
riilversity, lells of h's e.vperlences
In coniaci, with the man, ond relates
his ob.sorv.uions and j ventures an
opinion that is worthy of note and
study. I
Graves says he nevi'r itotlci d any
thing .about Moans that would Indi-
(
cate lie was of a criminal trend. Ho
' come In close comae. “.vlth him dur-
I Ing his college days, iiid afterwards
saw him numbers of, .times, before
there was .any charge iof misconduct
laid at the door of thej Concord man.
Then came a aurii in the path
which Means trod thai; led him into
many inix-nps of unslivory nature.
Ttir" e was Iho mystcrllus death of -a
■wealthy lady in Conhord, and the
disrappoaranee of her jifonuno; the
il
stealing of a fortune fijom a wealthy
Washington lady intepstod In thv
return of the Lindbergh baby; 'and
some other incidents in, which Means
il
seems to have “cut © melon,”
1 j
QraveS relates that Means sustain
ed head injuries fronij a fall in an
elevator, and after clita time his
I
criminal record began; it was not
until the Injury, occuiyed. that he
seemed bent on following the down
ward road. j
Thoseiwho have thought of Gaston
Means a.s on© whom Ihj-y would term
a “natural-born crook'; may ponder
over what the Chapel Hill editor
says. Certainly there Is room for
speculation as to wh'i|, might iMvc
been the r.tjord of tliejConcord man
of more than ordlnaryj, brllMancc If
he had licen ireaiod i'or .the injury
and .sent along his way! In paths that
lead to uprightness and usefulness.
Instead of beooinlngj North C«r-
olliva’s genil.-man eroo'k, he might
have been one of tlie State's leading
Citizens.
