JURY YTAKESITS TINE
Now Considering the Celebrated
Georgia White Cap Case.
ISSUE OF THE TRIAL AND THE CLOSE.
Conspiracy and Not the Overt Act, the
Question at Point-Has the Federal
Court Jurisdiction in the Case3
Features of the Trial.

ATLANTA, April 13.-The defense and
the prosecution in the white cap trial
consumed yesterday in argument. At
O'Clock last night the case against
John Quarles and David Butler was
given to the jury. The main issue is
whether the federal court has jurisdic-
ton over the case. The theory of the
defense is that it has not.
The defense does not deny that Henry
Worley, revenue informer, was hang
ed and that band of ku-klux hanged
him; but they rest their case, as far as
this matter is concerned, on the propo-
sition, that it was not for informing
that Worley was hanged; but for be-
traying the oath-bound clans of ku-
kluxes.
If this is proved then the case fails,
for it is founded by the government
on the idea that in informing against
illicit distillers, Worley was enjoying a
right and privilege guaranteed by the
constitution and laws of the United
States. which makes the determination
of the ku-klux band to kill him con-
spiracy under federal statute.
The defense also claims broadly that
Butler and Quarles are innocent of par
ticipating in the hanging of Worley.
The government claims that Quarles
and Butler are conspirators The issue
in the case is conspiracy and not the
overt act.
There viii not be a verdict in the
case before this afternoon.

THE ESCAPE NOT A MYSTERY
How the Five Inmates of the Criminal In

How the Five Inmates of the Criminal In
sane Asylum Got Away at Newburg.
NEwBURG, N. Y, April 1s.-Yester-
day after noon DIR. Allison, superinten-
dent of the Matteawen asylum for the
criminal insane, gave out the follow
ing statement regarding the manner
in which the escape Wednesday night,
of five inmates, was effected:
Upon the return Of Quigley, statement was
obtained from him showing that the escape
was due to a violation on the part OF the at
tendants of the rules of the institution and al
SO to a carelessness in the manner OF locking
up. portion Of the inmates of the isolation
building were allowed to go to the dining room
to their meals, but MCGUIRE and Perry, among
several Others received their meals in their
rooms.
Their food was given to them upon plate
with metal iron spoon. The regulations are
that utensils of this character should always
be counted in and counted out so that nothing
should be secured in the rooms. BY neglect
OF these precautions Mcclure came into pos
session OF these two spoons, with which ne
was enabled to fashion keys for the outer
doors. tits not certain how he obtained the
pattern. but he evidently worked in con1unc-
tion with another patient to whom he passed
the keys OF the door. This patient, on the way
to supper unlocked the lower lock. which was
entirely beyond the reach OF any patient con-
fined in the room, and this fact led to the sIs-
picion that the doors could not be opened
without collusion on the part Of some OUT

PAY INDEMNITY IN SILVER.
And China VIII Hand over the Result OF
tho RIoody Conflict.

the RluOuy NOnHict.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Careful in
auiries, both at the Chinese and Japa-
nese legations and of officials of the
state department and officers of the
navy, who by residence in both the
contending countries have become IA
miliar with their customs and currency,
seem to indicate a strong probability
that the indemnity to be paid by China
to Japan will be paid in silver and not
in gold, though no definite Official
statement TO the effect has yet been re-
ceived here. Silver is the measure OF
value to great extent in both eoun-
tries. Japan has not been called upon
to negotiate any European loan payn-
BILE in gold for the prosecution OF the
war. Therefore she has experienced
no special drain of gold. China, on the
other hand, being heavily indebted to
England and other European nations,
has exported within the last few years
large quantities of gold, and the ma
tional treasury does not contain any
considerable amount of this metal.
