VOLUME XV1I1. JL B. KHEBUli, EdUar and CONCORD, N. C, THURSDAY DECEMBER 13, 1917 Price Five Cent. NO. 76.. JMaiiHI culls caseiscohti:;ued Six Speeches Hive Been Made, Four for Defendant and Two on Behalf of the .. State. SCVEN MORE LAW YERS WILL SPEAK They Are: Newell, Dooling, , Caldwell, for the State and Hartsell, Armfield; Crow- eft Cansler, for Defendant. k The argument by counsel In the trial of Gaston B. Meant was resumed this morning at o'clock, when tbe six teenth day's session began. At yes- .. terday's session, one of the attorneys for tbe state, and two for the defense, had Blade their argument, tearing, six more speeches for the defense and tour for the prosecution still to be made. Tbe order In which these will come will be about aB follows: P. O. McDuffle for the state, fol lowed by T. D. Manes and SI. H. . Caldwell, for the defense ; J. F. Newell, followed by L. T. Ilartsell and Frank Armfield; John T. Dooling, followed ly 3. L Crowell and E, T. Cansler; with 1a Campbell Caldwell closing tbe argument for tbe state At the opening of court this morn ing there were only about twenty-five or thirty spectators present, due most likely to the bad weather and the snow on the ground. Phil C. McDuffle, of Atlanta, began his argument for the prosecution at S :20V after having been compelled to wait for some time until some papers wanted by him had been brought to the court room. ; He went into the fact that a woman was killed in this county on the night of August 29th, and in the fact, he al1, larked the grim visage of murder. Tbe man accused of her death was the woman's business manager. She was his benefactor and friend, but bad she not earned the right to live? -' In deciding this case, a motive does not necessarily have to be established, - be aald, but a motive adds-to the weight of the evidence. - , . - . Taking a look at the financial con dition at the defendant, the lawyer said that when Means went to New York and went to work : for the Burns Agency, he had not a dollar in any bank o. k. and was living in a cheap flat working as - a detective. His wife's o. k. did not amount to as much as a hundred dollars. After the de . f endant met Mrs. King he began car rying large rolls of bills, and tbe de posits at the bank in his name and the name of his wife began to grow. There is not a single written line to show that an of this money was recelve-1 from Herman interest Not a bit of evidence, besides that of the defendant, ' - has been Introduced to show that he received any cash at all from German Intermita. -' The $25,000 borrowed by the de - fendant from Mrs. -King on a "rubber venture." was never returned, accord ins to all the naiiers that have been -presented here. The venture fell through, said the defendant, but Why was the money, not then returned? : This unpaid note was one of the things . about which Means was afraid that -Mm Kin would ''fly the track." The revocation of the trust fund In favor of Mrs. Anna I. Robinson was effected when she was In a weak and helpless conditionand she was Ignor ant of what Rhe was signing, nam mr. McDuffle. The paper authorizing the Merchants Loan & Trust Company to pay Mrs. Robinson $1,000 per month, executed at the same time, but the duplicate copies were still In the hands of the defendant, and had never lieea turned over to that bank, - The second will, said the sneaker, . the "vehicle of fraud." by which the defendant drained money out Of Mra. Kin. If he had found a will, why . m-aa it not nut Into the probate court, " "where it belonged, instead of having all this Investigation made . by the - whole crowd under the direction or me defendant? Why, instead of having r the will probated, did they go to the Northern Trust Company, and try to make some kind of arrangements with i them with regard to taxes?. " Th ammlim on the left hand of Mrs. King was not caused by firing the 25 Colt automatic pistol, as contended - i the defense, said the lawyer. This, .he mid. was oroveni conclusively by - Capt. Jones, when he fired in the court room, the pistol - that caused Mrs. Kino's death. The pistol that caused a smudge on the bands of the witness--' ' who testified here may have been tamoered with. According to testimony v of Capt Jones, this would be accom ' plished- by shortening or weakening ' the mrlns In the automatic pistol The absence of the hat worn by Mrs. Kins was a strong fact that meaks sralnst the defendant said .-. the state counsel in his argument The father of tba defendant la a learned . lawyer, he said, and be should have know the value of thU article as a ' niece of evidence. Then, too, the switch worn by Mrs. King was destroyed or nne awav with by the undertaker. 1 Why was not this evidence brought . . : Into court? - The speaker closed his argument at 11:06 o'clock, with an appeal to the ' Jury to do their duty without fear or favor, and if they had no doubt In the matter, to bring in tneic veraict prtlty. , - . ... . t T. D. x. u. at a nearn, ror tbe deftose, was the next speaker Be stated that the oaly (Ufrereaee bctweea the Bute and defease was that tbe former contend ed the deed waa planned, while the de fense claimed It was an aeddeat. The defense waa glad, ha aald, that Mr. A. & Melville came her to testi fy la this case, and the speaker pro duced a copy of the testimony ef this witness, which he said a would stake the basis of bis remarks. Be reviewed the financial transactions of the dead woman and the defendant, showing that tbe funds of Mrs King were not dissipated by him. Outside of tbe mon ey given away by Mrs. King over her own signature only about $7600 had been spent out of her money during the time from August 7, 1813 until her death compared with what was spent before she met Gaston Means. Mrs. King spent less money every year since that event When the defendant be came her business manager, she was in debt to the amount of something like 34.000, and waa bard pressed for funds. The bank books of Mrs. King, offer ed in the evidence by the state, show ed that the money waa placed to her credit and the money was paid out over her signature. ,' The revocation of Mrs. Roblnsoss trust fund was made with the know ledge of Mrs. King, who signed the agreement to pay her mother $1,000 per month until July 1, 1017, after which she Is to receive $2,500 per month, Instead of the $600 monthly which she formerly received. This agreement said tbe speaker, is still valid, and tbe whole estate of Mrs. King stands behind this agreement. V The reason Mrs. Robinson had re ceived nothing since September 1, was because the estate of Mrs. King has. not yet been properly administered. In place of being penniless, Mrs. Robin son wil continue to receive $2,500 per month until the estate of Mrs. King is used up. "If that was a fraud," said Mr. Maness, "1 would like for some one to practice such a fraud on me." That Mrs. King knew what was be ing done when this trust was revoked, Is shown by tbe fact that she signed tbe securities and a note for $35,000 borrowed on them. The check given by the bank was made out in the name of Mrs. King and not in the name of Gaston Means.' Tbe events leading up to the auto mobile ride that evening did not in the opinion of Mr. Maness appear to him as if a murder was being con templated. -Why were the different persons Invited to -go on that ride, If the defendant was planning a murder? It was shortly after sundown, and the moon that night had just crossed the meridian.. The noise that the defendant heard when he waa at the spring was niade by the automatic in the bands of Mrs, King, when she pulled back or tne jacket and threw a cartridge into the chamber, sold ;Mr.; Maness. The de fendant looked around on nearing tne sound and saw Mrs. King holding the pistol In her hand.

FROM EVERYWHERE Dr. Garfield Says That Only a Lessening of Consump tion Will Help. Blame Placed on Railroads. (By International News Service.) Washington, ' Dec 13. The fuel situation throughout the country showed no Improvement today. There is an acute shortage in many places and nowhere is there an adequate supply. Fuel administrators from all sections are deluging the national fuel administrator with appeals for aid. He however, is able to do little, it was ad mitted. In fact Dr. Garfield himself has taken the position that only a lessening of consumption will help. The representatives of the coal in terests here place the olame on failure of the railroads' to get sufficient cars to the mines to move tbe output Thus Is sharply denied by the railroad men who say they are moving more coal than ever before in the history of the nation. ' Tbe unusually cold weather for this time of year which prevails all oyer the country Is the real reason; they say. And the railroad men, like Dr. Garfield, believe that the best re lief plan is to secure co-operation from coal users. The suggestion hss been made to the coal administrator that theatres and Institutions that are ent irely non-essenianl be asked to shut down for a couple of weeks during the holidays. Such action would save fuel in every locality, even in the smaller communities, it Is explained. The sug gestion is one of many now before Dr. Garfield. Munitions, food and fuel now are being preferred for movement on all railroads In 'the east An em bargo has been laid by the railroads on non-essentials but It was stated today that it very likely will be several dare Iwfore any teffectlve, result can De ex pected. Jn the meanwhile 'another heavy snowstorm would result in very great suffering. ; The New England states, New York, certain sections of Pennsylvania and Maryland, all of the Central western states today were bombarding the fuel administrator with telegrams demand.

Dr. Burmeister, he said. based bis whole opinion upon the pres ence or absence of powder burns or singed hair. Nothing is more uncertain, said tne lawyer. In conclusion, than the manner In which Mrs. King met ner aeatn. Circumstances have been shown how she could have fired the shot herself, and this should cause a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury,, to which doubt the prisoner Is entitled to the benefit. He finished his address at 12:35 o'clock.; -- i ' M.H. CaldwelL M. H. Caldwell was the next attor ney for the defense. . Ho stated that Governor of Ohio Selies Coal. Washington, Dec. 11 The fuel administration today had been "offici ally advised" of the action of the gov ernor of Ohio, who yesterday seized 1,500 cars loaded with coal and divert ed It to points where most needed. Governor Cox had been auviseu, ruei administration officials said, that Homer Johnson, Ohio state fuel ad ministrator, had full authority to di vert coal If he were satisfied that it reallv was needed. Any action taken by Governor uox would simply lead to confusion and Inefficiency besides being a violation of law. What is to be done about tba the Bolshevik! Forces Plac ed Machine Guns on Roofs of Buildings to Sweep the Thoroughfares. A ; (By International News Service.) Copenhagenfl, Dec 13. Disorders have again broken out In Petrograd as a result of the counter revolution started by, the Cossacks under General Kaledines and General Korniloff. Information was received here to day that fighting took place in the streets and the Bolshevik! forces plac ed machine guns on the roofs of build ings along the Nevsky Prospect to sweep the thoroughfare, the most prominent in the Russian cupital. Jr Contradictory reports have been re esived as to the outcome of fighting If the Mohiloff district Indications, however, are that the . liolHhevlki forces have been defeated. Ensign Kelensko, of the Bolshevlkl, it is reported, withdrew soldiers from the front which have given rise to the report that the Russians have begun to demobilise. Germany and Austria, it Is reported, have placed their terms In the hands of tbe - Bolshevlkl commissioners. These terms are said to contain a promise from the German government to support the Bolshevik! government at Petrograd from "domestic enemies." A cablegram to the International News Service last week stated that certain units of the Russian army on the Eastern front were being disband ed following the conclusion t of the temporary armistice.

SECSRAST BAKES 18 RESPONSIBLE. SAYS CROZIEX. Nat Steele New trrared te War ta De- far Twa (By International News Service.) Washington, Dee. U. Responsibility for the army's faltue to have any ef fective n amber of nchlne runs was placed directly upon Secretory of War Baker this afternoon by Major General William Crosier, chief of ordnance testifying before the Senate military affairs committee in tbe investigation of tba army. Tbe general had Just finished telling the committee that there were uly about 850 machine guns in the whole army and that not a single new one was delivered to the war department for more than two month after the declaration of war. He gave the com mittee a brief explanation of this con dition. "Xour explanation does not satisfy me , said Senator Chamberlain, chair man of the committee bluntly. "It does not satisfy me either", the general replied. . "Well who is responsible V demanded Senator Chamberlain. "The Secretary of War," blurted out the General. "He has to be." Another Startling Fact. Washington, Dec 13. Just before the United Htates entered the war last April, small arms manufacturers in the country were making 10,000 rifles dally for the Allies. Today, nine months after the de claration of war, with hundreds of thousands of American soldiers un armed tbe average daily pr oduction of rifles Is only 5.000. Disconcerting fact was made known today in the Senate Military Affairs committee in cross-examining General William Crozler, chief of ordnance, In the investigation into the condition of the army. THE GERMANS HAVE FAILED SIGNALLY. Hoped by Submarine and Land Offen sive to Incline England to Peace. (By The Associate Press) The Germans have been conducting a submarine offensive of great magni tude of complement to their offensive on the land in hope of inclining Great Britain toward peace but have failed, signally in their naval as well as their military efforts according to a high naval authority in London. The counter measures of the entente forces by tbe American contingent are becoming increasingly successful, it is declared. Recently tbe production of new tonnage as nearly equalled the tonnage sunk and the destruction of submarines has reached a point close ly approaching the masHnnur capacity of the, Germans for turning out U bouts. the question for the Jury to decide was Ghio seizures, officials will not decide not whether Gaston B. Means was a swindler, or whether Mrs., Robinson is a nauoer! but whether or not tne defendant ' murdered Jdrs.

Swiss reports that Turkey might negotiate a "sepa rate peace" with the Entente reaching here today, were characterized as "in teresting" by administration officials. But they furnished no basis for gen eral comment So far as this govern ment is concerned there is no dis position anywhere to discuss peace In any form. Both Turkey and Bulgaria may Initiate negotiations omcials say, but until they do there is no dlsposi- ton to consider such action probable. ARGUMENT IN DRAFT CASES. (By The Aaaeciatea Pre) . In Petrograd the Bolshevik! continue their efforts to gain control of the coa stiuent assembly, although available returns from the recent elections show that the Bolshevlkl alone hardly have a majority in the assembly. Or ders for the arrest and trial of the leaders of tbe Constituent Democrat party, most of whom are supporting the Cossack revolt, has been issued by the Bolshevlkl. Field Marshal Halg's troops have met and repulsed the first massed at tacks, on the western fronts, in sever al days and have inflicted heavy loss es on the Germans. An attack was made on a front of one mile, east of Bullecnurt. and between that town and Queant, and hud it succeeded might have had a tactical effect upon the salient before Cambria. After heavy bombardiug the Bava rian troops went forward in massed formation. The British line held ex cept on the right and the Germans were driven back with heavy losses. On the right the enemy gained a short length of trench which was destroyed in the bombardment preceding the at tack. No further attempts with in fantry were made, the Germans con tenting themselves with masses ef ar tillery fire against the British positiea in this area. Between Bulleconrt and Tpres the German artillery has been active, but no attacks have developed. The heavy enemy bombardment is continuing in the Champaign region, east of Rheims. A German surprise attack aganist French positions In this region was without results.- Northeast of Verdun the heavy artillery battle goes f; on without cessation. Weather conditions in the Italian front are becoming more favorable to the defenders of the Venetian planes. Show is falling and the Ital ians hope this aid will help in ham pering the ogensive efforts of the Aus- tro-Gernmns. Between the Brenta and the Piave the enemy attacked as the snow began falling and gained sever al small hill positions. In counterat tacks the Italians regained the lost ground. - British shipping losses last week show an Increase over the previous week, 21 vessels being lost through mines and submarines, according to the latest reports, while 17 were sun the week before. There was a crease in the number of ships of than 1600 tons, however, the total for the past week being 14, a reduction of two.
