TURNER TRIAL ENDS
AT MONTGOMERY
JUDGE JONES GIVES A LENGTHY
CHARGE TO JURY, INcLINiNG TO
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES THAT
AcoUITTAL is PROBABLE.

Montgomery, July l0-(Special) = The
Turner peonage trial ended late this
evening and is now with the jury The
entire day was taken up by the speeches
of Attorneys Bulger and Wiley for the
defense and District Attorney Reese s
close for the prosecution. Judge Jones
charge to the jury lasted for nearly two
hours. He went extensively into the
facts of the case and reviewed the his
tory of peonage. The charge OF the judge
was as nearly an affirmative one as
could be given. His talk to the jury real
ly took much the form of the speech OK
the district attorney. He was thoroughly
aroused and his earnestness impressed
every one 1t could hardly be doubted
from listening to his words that he
thought the defendant guilty man, and
the ATTORNEYS for the defense listened to
him nervousy.
Judge Jones said that the testimony Of
witnesses Helmes and Dunbar could be
eliminated by the jury and they still had
the undisputed testimony that Turner
bought the three negroes, Helms, VIII
liams and johnson. paying Dunbar forty
dollars for them for the costs In their
trials and conviction. He deplored the
manner In which the negroes wore con-
vcted. and said 1t was shame that
their fine should have been so heavy for
the offense. But even then they should
have worked It out In twenty-one days.
He said that Turner had no right to
work the men in bondage. though they
had made voluntary contracts. but when
the men asked to leave Turner they
broke the voluntary contract and were
afterwards held involuntariiy.
There is much doubt as to the convic-
ton Of Turner. The jury has retired for
the night While. Of course, no one
knows, there are street rumors to the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
washington, August II, 1908.

washington, August II, 19O3.
Intense interest has been occasioned
in official and political circles in
Washington by the report which comes
from Oyster Bay to the effect that the
president may call congress in extra
ordinary session in October, instead
of on November 9, as has been his
previous intention. Senators Aldrich,
Platt of Connecticut, Spooner and AL
lison have been in conference with
the president regarding the financial
bill which they, as members of the
subcommittee of the senate committee
on finance, are charged with drafting.
After the conference Senator Aldrich,
chairman, gave out brief interview,
in which he referred to the possibil-
ity OF the extra session being called
in October, and it is believed here
that the report is based on that inter
view. Officials and politicians in
Washington are loath to believe that
the president will hasten the date Of
the converting of the special session.
They say that any date earlier than
that already announced would result
in a session from which many of the
party leaders would be absent, or else
would rob some important state cam
paigns of the presenee. of Influential
leaders. It is pointed cut that, from
republican standpoint, the approach
