BINGHAM AND REESE FOUND NOT GUILTY Charges of Conspiracy Could
 Not Be Proved. DAMAGE SUITS WILL FOLLOW In Dismissing Case Justice Williams Said He Would Tax Prosecution
 With Cost if Any Law
 Could Be Found
DAMAGE SUITS WILL FOLLOW

Montgomery, May 2s-(Special. )-The trial of Collector of Internal Revenue Bingham, United States Attorney Warren S. Reese, and others, on charge of con- spiracy to commit murder, terminated rather suddenly in Justice Williams court this afternoon. The trial was begun yester- day, and there was a long list of witnesses from both sides present.
 Much interest attached to the trial, as Bingham is the nominee of one wing of the republican party for state chairman, and it was stated from the witness stand by witnesses for the prosecution that MT. Vaughan, the nominee of the other wing of the party for state chairman, was back ing the prosecution.
 The prosecution closed it's case this aft ernoon, and the attorneys for the defense at once made a motion to dismiss the case on the ground that no evidence had been submitted tending to show that there was conspiracy The point was argued, and Justice Williams dismissed the case against the defendants, and said that he would also charge the costs up to the pros- ecution, in case he could find some law warranting such procedure.
 For Political Effect
 It is the general opinion here that the prosecution was entirely for political eff feet, but the attempt was unsuccessful.
 The Bingham element will now enter suits against B. w. Walker, former United States marshall; Charles J. Scott, Postmas- ter Buckley, United States Marshall Bryan and Clerk Dimmick for heavy damages. These suits are entered on the grounds that it was shown in the evidence that they contributed money to inaugurate the ma- licious and frivolous prosecution of officials for political effect
