MORE DISPATCH IN
The WILLIAMS CASE
TWELVE WITNESSES EXAMINED
SATURDAY IN CULLMAN-EVI
DENcE EXPECTED TO BE IN BY
MIDDLE OF WEEK.

Cullman, May 29.-(Speoial) 1.-The Will
liams murder trial has taken on new
lease and the wheels of justice were re-
voving more rapidly in yesterday after
Moons session than at any time since
the beginning of the trial. 1t was at first
thought that the case would drag along
stubbornly and consume all of next week,
but when the examination of witnesses
began, one could draw very conserva-
tive idea as to its duration, and it is
generally believed that the evidence will
all be in and the arguments pegun by the
middle of the week.
Twelve witnesses were examined at yes
terday afternoons session, and in the
chain of evidence formed thus far by the
state there is not a missing link.
The evidence of Deputy Sheriff Dunlap,
who 1t will be remembered was badly
wounded by Williams, and that of Con-
stable Giles of Joppa precinct, who was an
eye witness to the shooting, was the most
damaging to the defendants cause thus
far introduced and it is the general
accepted belief that it will be the hard
est to override in the end.
The defense seems to still cling to the
plea that 1t was a bullet from Deputy
Dunlap's pistol that killed Senator Hip.
To refute this argument. however, the
body of the dead senator was exhumed,
the ball extracted from his head and
will be produced as evidence. The pistol
used by williams was a 3S-calibre, while
that of the one used by Dunlap was IL
calibre.
A visit to the Jail this morning and a
few words with Williams brought out the
fact that he seems to realize the gravity
of his position more than ever before,
His only companion in the grim confines IS
a kitten, which, he said, was great
comfort and much company to MN.
When asked how he was passing the time
he replied that the confinement, to say
nothing of the worry, was Furnishing MN
very severely. and that he believed II It

New York, May 27-The Financier says
this week:
The official statement or the New York
associated banks last week was much
more favorable than was expected, part
~ because of a contraction of 80, 432 400 in
loans, instead of the looked for expan-
sion as the result of operations Incident
to the payment of the final installment
on account of the Japanese bond issue.
II appears probable. however. that the
proceeds OF these bonds were largely
placed with trust companies instead of
with the banks. The cash reserve was
Increased $A02OO net. and deposits were
decreased Sl0O22, 500 The latter was only
sl4l.1OO less than the sum of the increase
In loans and the gain in cash, and there
fore the statement showed good bal
ance. The required reserve rose 81. so, 625,
which amount added to the net increase
In cash, made s3,2l5s25 as the augmenta-
ton in surplus reserve to sl .465,S0O. conn
puted upon the basis of deposits less
| those of s12 1872, 400 public funds. the sur
plus is 81, 900.
1t may be observed that the previous
weeks expansion of loans which was
due to syndicate operations In connection
with the Pennsylvania convertible bond
issue, represented only a comparatively
small amount of the sum invoived because
of the system of averages, therefore the
bringing over of such average into the
last week would tend to an increase in
loans. This item doubtless further
expanded through the Ioamng or the S.
900 900 paid on Thursday on account OF
the japanese bonds. but the average Of
this sum would be only half that amount,
Hence 1t seems likely that the loan item
of the bank statement, though showing
decrease was made on rising averages,
even admitting that a considerable por-
ton of both the above noted issues were
placed with trust companies. 1t is note
worthy In this connection that the loans
last week were within one million OF
the maximum OF the year. which was re-
corded February II. The daily average
