Alleged Slayer of Mrs, King Will
Say She Committed Suicide,
It Is Said.
(By International News Service.)
COURTHOUSE, CONCORD, N, C.,
Nov, 27-—Southern chivalry will be
the defense of Gasten B. Means. 'rhu}
came today from a weu—lnfonnedi
source as Means' trial on the charge |
of murdering Mrs. Maude King,
wealthy Chicago and New York wo
man, entered its second day. |
It is generally understood now that
Means has completely changed the
evidence he gave at the Coroners
hearing after the mysterious death of
Mrs, King. At that time he claimed |
accidental shooting. Now, it is un
derstood, he will tell the court Mrs,
Kin died from a self-inflicted wound,
To cover the discrepancies in the two
stories, Means will put forward his
plea of Southern chivalry., He wfll‘
maintain that he did not tell at the
Coroner’'s hearing that Mrs, King had
committed suicide because he did not
want to smirch the name of the wo
man who had been his benefactress,
He will maintain the instincts of a
Southern gentleman kept him from
telling the true eircumsances of Mrs,
Mrs. King's death until now, when it
becomes a matter of life and death
with him.
The State is prepared. They have
gathered witnerses to show that Mrs.
King was in high spirits on the night
of her death. It is also rumored they
are prepared to introduce evidence
that Mrs. King was an unwilling
member of the fatal target shooting
party on the night of August 27,
While the trial drags slowly on to
day a little gray-haired woman waits
a hundred miles away. The little
Southern woman, now 77 years old, is
harboring her strength and praying
for power to attend the trl;? when
the right time comes. She is Mrs,
Anne Robinson, mother of Mrs, King.
In & weakened condition, she is going
to exert every effort to reach the trial
and to testify to what she knows of
Gaston B. Means. The little woman
has sent her iawyer, Phil C. MeDuffe,
to ald the prosecution. She has de
nounced her other daughter, Mrs.
May C. Melvin, who has heen a con
stant companion of Meang since his
arrest.
Means is preparing to take the
stand in his own behalf, Counsel for
the defensze has deemed this neces
sary, although it Is understood Means
has no desire to undergo the grilling
cross-examination which he knows
will come from the State and lay
bare his past,
A 8 the 150 special veniremen came
inte court today it beeame evident
‘the State will select its jury with
care, A change of venue was denied
the Btate, and Solicitor Clement is
determined he shall I‘;;et. as fair a jury
as possible. From the questions ask
ed the first jurors, it became evident
m the proces of jury selection will
i at least two days.

“The Wild, Wild Women,” Causcs
New York Theatergoers to
Shake With Laughter. 1
NEW YORK, Nov. 27—Harry Fox,
the comedian who is known from one
end of the continent to the other in
vaudeville and musical comedy, is
making New York shake with laugh
ter by means of brand-new harum
scarum song that he is singing. The
song 1s one of those things that hap
gsn once every few years, and already
’ox has made it the byword of New
York. It is called “The Wild, Wild
Women Are Making a Wild Man of
Me.” At the Alhambra Theater,
where he has first introduced the wild
song with its funny lyric and its
amusing melody, Fox has had practi
cally every man, woman and child
singing the song with him.
Yesterday he went to one of the
armories, where there was a soldiers’
entertainment, and for five minutes
the whole regiment was shufMing its
feet and laughingly ginging the song
with him.
Those who are familiar with the
fun-making antics of Fox will read.
ily appreciate what a ecream it is
when they read the following words,
which start with a slow, halting
rhythm and then work into music of
the most abandoned type: ]
There’'s something the matter |
with me,
Yes, something the matter with
me;
Friends that I meet say I'm ail
ing,
Even my own family. |
My doctor paid, “Boy, take a rest,”
But, tals it from me, I know best.
CHORUS.
It's the wild, wild women, the wild,
wild women,
Are making a wild man of me,
They tried to bring me up 2 min
ister’s son, ‘
And, oh! the naughty m: Just
see what they've
Oh! the wild, wild women, the
wild, wild women,
They've taken advantage of me,
Higt'ry tells that they did to Mare
Antony,
Now, you can just imagine what
will happen to me,
Oh! the wild, wild women, fero
cious women,
They are making a wild man of
me.
Fof says himself that he finds it is
the best antidote for the blues that
has come along since the declaration
of war, and that he hasn't gone any
where yet that it hasn’t changed stony
faces into wreaths 5f smiles.
Since Fox sprung the song on the
public several uther leading entertain
ers have secured permission to sing
it, and it is havlnf the same effect at
the famous Ziegfeld Frolic, where Van
and Schenck are singl.g it, and at the
Winter Garden, where Quarry Lewis,
another’ great comedian, is sending
titters through the audiences.
All the performers who are singing
the “"Wild Women"” song say that it is
bound to have even a greater vogue
than such songs as “Slqter Susie
Sewing Shirts for Soldiers” and
“You're a Doggone Dangerous Giri,"”
both of which were introduced by Al
Jolson.

TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE PROVES BEYOND
DOUBT THE TONIC PROPERTIES OF
NATURAL IRON.

‘With all the talk about “iron” and
what it will do for the system, it is
interesting to note the type of peo
ple who for years have taken fit.
Without a doub{, iron is a wonderful
medicine. Mixed with alcohol or other
injurious elements, it oftimes is coun

timonial, written twenty years after
first taking Acid Iron Mineral, is a
wonderful statement. Coming from
a man of his standing, it speaks vol

Child’s Last Christmas
On Earth Made Joyous
By Empty Stocking Fund
By THE SANTA CLAUS GIRL.
I thought that there was noth
ing in the whole wide world quite
as touching as a letter from a
child who was afraid that Santa
Claus was going to forget him
when he makes his rounds on
Christmas Eve, and I probabiy
told you so, but now I have
changed my mind. Because
Tuengay‘s mail brought me a let
ter that is to my way of think
ing very much the most appeal
ing of all the hundreds of letters
that I have read this year.
It is a letter from a mother, and
you can readily see that that
might be very pathetic. But that
isn’t all. You will have to read
the letter and see for yourself.
“Dear Santa Claus Girl:
‘I am writing you this to tell
you that you are sure pleasing
God by your efforts and work
that you do every Christmas. You
may remember that I wrote you
last year for my two children,
Mary and J. A. Well, J. A, has
gone home to heaven and that
wags his last Christmas on earth,
and if it hadn't been for the
Santa Claus Girl of the Empty
Stocking Fund of the Atlanta
Georglan it would have been a
sad Christmas for him and his
mother; for what mother is not
sad when her child is sad, and
what mother is not made glad
when her children are happy?
Well, last Christmas was the
first Christmas I ever had to beg
for mine, and I want you to re
member Mary again this year,
and my nine-months-old baby.
We have had typhoid fever and
sickness and death in our family,
‘We are poor, and are made poor
er every day on account of food
being so high, and the man of the
house doesn’t make any more
than he did four years ago.
“I thank you with my whole
heart for making my little J. A's
last Christmas on earth a happy
one and for what you will do this
year.”
His last Christmas!
And we made it a happy ornz—
you and I and every one of us
who had anything to do with the
Empty Stocking Fund, whether
we contributed our money or our
time and effort to make Christ
mas a real celebration for some
1,500 kids all over the city.
Can we afford to take any
chances this year? This may be
some other kid’s last Christmas
and we musn’t let it be an un
happy day when it is in our
power to make it otherwise with
such a little sacrifice on our part,
with no sacrifice at all in lots and
lots of cases. All of a kid's
Christmases ought to be happy,
but the last one that he will
spend on this earth—and we can’t
tell which will be the last, you
see. That is why we musn’t take
any chances. We must see to it
that every single child in At
lanta is remembered by Santa
Claus this year, and then if be
fore next Christmas some of them
g 0 on to join little J. A, we will
know that we did our part to
make their little lives as full of
happiness as a child's life ought
to be, and that their last months
were not embittered by a disap
pointment too big for them to
bear, a disappointment that we
might hgve averted.
That is a very big thing to do,
I think, a bigger thing than lots
of you realize, bacause you have
never thought what it is for a
to everyone troubled with indiges
tion.” Signed E. 8. Pinkston (Mayor
of Parrott, Ga.).
