“Mr. Holloway Convinced There Was Foul Play,” from the Monroe
Journal, Sept. 25, 1917
Visit to Spot of King
Murder Leads Monroe Man to the Belief That Wealthy Lady Did Not Die
Accidentally
Since visiting the spot where Mrs. King, the wealthy Chicago
and New York woman, was standing when she fell wounded to death from a pistol
shot, Mr. J.T. Holloway is convinced that she did not die from wounds inflicted
by her own hands. He makes no accusations; merely stating that he does not
believe it possible that she could have killed herself accidentally in the
manner described by Gaston Means, her confidential secretary.
The spot near Concord, which Mr. Holloway visited Saturday,
is secluded. In fact, according to him, it would hardly be possible to find
another spot more so in Cabarrus County. The forked tree which Means claims he
laid the pistol, was given a close scrutiny by Mr. Holloway, and he is of the
opinion that it would be impossible for a pistol to lay on the spot indicated
by Means. He endeavored to place a pocket knife on the spot, but it slid to the
ground.
