THE rowLEs FORGERY TRIAL.
The Government Testimony. With
Exception of One Witness, Closes.

The Government has practically con-
cluded its side of the testimony in the
trial OF Gilbert B. Towies. who is charged
with forgery. At noon yesterday. when
the court adjourned, Assistant District
Attorney Ashley NJ. Gould announced that
with the exception OF one other witness
the Government would offer no further di-
rect testimony. The witness referred to
is j. J. Darlington. who at present is out
OF the city. but who is expected to return
on Tuesday morning. In view OF this it
was asked that the defence commence its
testimony on Monday instead OF adjourn
ing the court for that day on account of
the absence of the witness for the prose-
cution.
Counsel for the defendant objected to
beginning their side of the case before the
Government closed, but the court ordered
that the trial be proceeded with on Mon
day.
The frst witness called yesterday by
the Government was Walter c. Clephane.
attorney for Henry o. Towies, the brother
OF the defendant. He stated that the ac-
cused had admitted to him that he had
altered several OF the notes upon which
the indictment against him is based.
Towles. however. the witness stated, in
formed him that he had notified the par
ties interested OF what he had done. He
also stated that he heard the defendant
appeal to Zenas c. Robbins not TO prose-
cute him
C. C. Bryan, who endorsed several of
the notes referred to IN the indictment,
stated that he did not sign certain note
for $500 upon which his name appears. He
also denied that he signed second note
for 81 600 Bryan also testified that he is
in no way financially interested in the
purchase of the Gettysburg land for which
the notes In question were drawn. He
was. however, he stated, elected one OF
the directors of the company. He never
authorized the altering OF the notes in
question, he said and was much sur
prised when he learned that they had
been changed.
The last witness called was DR.. Henry
A. Robbins, who occupied an office In the
same building as did Gilbert Towles. He
testified that Towles admitted to him that
he had altered the notes. DR.. Robbins
also stated that he was present when GER
tain papers were taken from Towies' desk
and safe last December.
II is expected that ali next week will be
taken up in hearing testimony, for the de-
fence.

Considerable anxiety has been pro-
duced among amateur photographers by
an article which recently appeared in
local paper relative TO the instructions
which have been given the people, mar
rowing the privileges of local and visiting
devotees of this educating and elevating
art. In this connection we most respect
fully submit that, as a rule, the amateur
photographer is an earnest and intelligent
worker. whose aim is not to annoy per-
sonages in public life by stealing a snap
shot, nor to invade private precincts for
like purpose. Amateur photographers
have suffered much on account of the acts
OF representatives of the newspapers and
magazines who are broadly classed as
amateur photographers. but who are in
reality professional photographers. The
amateur is an inoffensive, intelligent. and
law-abiding citizen, whose aims are not
profit. but the reproductions as art spec
linens of the many beauties OF the Capital
City. and We most respectfully submit
that his work should be encouraged rather
than discouraged. One day This week
gentleman desiring to take 4 picture of
Jackson's statue in Lafayette Square was
made to move on: another found choice
bit of scenery in one of the Mall parks
but when he leveled his camera to make
the exposure a policeman came up and
warned him if he made that picture il
would cost him $40
There is in this city an organization
OF representative amateur photographers
whose work is seriously hampered by the
restrictions OF which We now complain.
There is also a COMMERCIAL AS we'll as

the interests of dozen or more business
houses here. We think if you Will take
this matter under serious reconsideration
