J,.U4'Mr' NEW YORK. Sent. 13 With Afton Mcnn3, brother of Gaston B. Means, Mrs. Maud A. King's buslners manager, appear ing before tho New York County Grand Jury again today, tho official Inquiry Into Mrs King's affairs had apparently nar rowed down to questions of perjury, for gery and larceny. Assistant District At torney Doollng today had virtually aban doned tho theory that thero was a plot laid here for the murder of Mrs. King. Whllo Afton Means Is attempting to ex plain ns far as possible, about thousands of dollars tald to hae been deposited since 1D16 In Gaston B Means's name, officials were anNlously peeking to get direct testi mony from Gaston Means personally. Al though ho was out of New York State when the subpoena for his absence hero was served on him In Concord, N. C. It wns believed that ho would como here to testify. Evidence so far uncovered In tho Inquiry Into Mrs. King's financial affairs, accora lng to Assistant District Attorney Doollng, showed that Gaston Means was a plunger In the Wall Street cotton market. Mr. Doollng summarized tho cldenco as follows: Evidence that Gaston B. Means deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars to his own credit In New York and Chicago banks since January 1, 1916, and plunged heally In cotton and stock markets, losing huge sums, two transactions resulting in losses of $65, son. Evldenco that Mrs. King's estato was dissipated and enormous sums put out by her In the last fifteen months: that trust funds, designed to -conscrvo her estate, were abrogated, with theso funds having apparently disappeared. Evldenco that Mrs. Mazle Melvln, a sis ter of Mrs. King, speculated heavily and unsuccessfully In stocks. Evldenco that at tho tlmo of her death Mrs. King was seriously contemplating an other marriage. "Tho papers show that.Gaston Means was trta.heavlest bort of plunger In cotton," Mr. Dooling said. "I am coninced that virtu ally nothing Is left of Mrs. King's estate." UNSEASONABLE COOL SNAP PROPHESIED AT AN END and Kathrjn Mil., and Helena V. Ichinond at.,i and Arnea and Mary Dl M J ",!
