NO PEONAGE c LCOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0OUOOOOOO NVn York. March 16.—The climax In • l Thaw trial has been reached. The fjniiu* affidavit Evelyn Nesblt Thaw |. alleged to have made In the office of Abraham Hummel, denying that she #v. • told Hurry Thaw that Rtanford While had mistreated her. ha* been of. 5 e.1 m evidence. T-ulay Harry Thaw, In Ills cell In the I *tnnd to tell of Mr. Turner's condition. At the first heating It was declared by Meveral wUneftses that on March is. Air. Turner was seen at hi* home and at that time he appeared fully able to come Into Atlanta and attend the hear ing. Hr. Hurt swore at the hearing Sat urday morning that Mr. Turner was taken III In December last and that for two or three day* he .was suffering from a form of Insanity. He also said he had not seen Mr Turner for two weeks, but did not be lleve he had yet sufficiently Improved* a* to be able to *tand a preliminary trial. Dr. Hurt declared that Mr. Tur- ner had caught cold twice afttr recov ering, and that In hi* ■ opinion the strain of a trial at thl* titue.Vhlle pos sibly not fatal to him physically, would endanger hi* mind. It was the doctor's opinion that Air. Turner would not be able to go through such an ordeal In-, side of fifteen days. A Second Jsrbme. It was then Attorney Ripley for the pnmecutlon began hi* cross-examina tion that the details of this Insanity were brought out. Attorney Ripley showed by his questions that he had little knowledge on the subject of •mil .<< prison. Is studying a copy of the I Insanity, and he showed, too, that he i Ruble document which Is to play a prominent part In determining Should he Insist that certain parts of !• i- eliminated as evidence, his law . . undoubtedly will give attention to !;> desire* and will protest against the admission of such parts as evidence. Jerome Wine Hie Point. Meanwhile, hogrever, the district at- ;:s. v has obtained all the moral ef fort he could desire out of*the docu ment. It* Importance as evidence rests • o the amount of credence the Jury give* t.. the testimony of Abraham Hummel. Tn»* issue I* clearly drawn between IN* hn Nesblt Thaw and Hummel. 8he fas test Hied that she did not make to l i u statements contained In the «f- mint it. He says ale did. She ha* tes tified that she did'not dictate the af- 1.11.1 vit against Thaw, and said that* when she signed It later she thought • m was signing another paper. Hum- uiil swears she knew the nature of the p.l|H If the jury believes Hummel Is testl- f'ltut the truth. Then to overthrow Tiiau* defense they must believe that l-Neivn Thaw* lied when she contradict- • I Hummel and that she lied when she *.'l she told Harry Thaw that White *‘.««l drugged and mistreated her. Delmas Prepares Question. Thaw's lawyers were hard at work h*i.iv preparing another hypothetical i-Mion to be submitted to experts for • ii* f**nse In sur-rebuttal of the alien- f .r the prosecution, who testified <• they believed Thaw wan sane when '■'■•t White.

Dr. Hurt wus questioned closely ha to the nature of Mr. Turner's delusions. "What did he talk about?" asked At torney Hlpley. "He Imagined," replied Dr. Hurt, "that someone was In the house both ering his family." "Now, doctor, tell us Just what kind of insanity thl* was." Attorney Rlplsy was getting down 4o the details of the disease. He was try ing to bring opt the various forms In which'It strike* people. "It was u temporary alteration." said Dr. Hurt. "It only lasted two or three days. It waa temporary Insanity." "Was It not a brain storm, doctor?" asked the attorney. * Not Brain Storm. And that brought on more discussion. Dr. Hurt wasn't qullr sure about the brain storm feature. Hut he finally gave It a* his opinion that as far as he was able to say. It was not a grain storm. He said It was caused by kid ne.v troubles. Attorney Ripley then framed a hypo thetical question as to whether or not a person having bean III. as Air. Turner had been, and having recuperated enough to be about the house and talk to visitors and walk about outside •( the house, would be In danger In com ing io court and standing a preliminary trial. Dr. Hurt declared he would be in danger anti that he would not want to be responsible for his health. Asks Two Weeks. Attorney Johnson asked for two weeks' time In order to prepare a de fense and allow hi* client to ge* well. He said he had not had access ..Me* hooks anti papera of the company In order to meet the charge* of the prose- utlon.

March 16.—William I^erg. of Macon, president of the Geor gia Southeastern and Gulf railroad, came to Washington yesterday and today told the Georgian correspondent that the report that peonage existed In any part of Georgia waa entirely erroneous and without foundation. "Because the system of collection In Georgia has made It possible," said Mr. Leif "for employers who advance money to their employees to work out their debt. It has been thought that a system of peonage prevailed there. But such a condition does not prevail. For Instance, let us suppose that I am a contractor and an employer of negro laborer*. A man comes to me as a laborer seeking work and tells me he la hard up and wants an advance in pay In order to get his family to the place where the work Is to be done. 1 give It to him. Then, If he, after getting the money, refuses to work, thq Jaw en able* ine to compel him to work-until the amount of the money .1 had ad- vanced had been earned. That Is sim ple Justice and no peonage, though some of the people who live a long way off In the North have been contending that It Is peonage. The commonest kind of peonage In the South Just now Is on the part of the negro, who makes hls wife take In w’ashlng while he loafs around all day. And this, when there Is a greater demand for labor of all ■orts than ever.before In the history of the South. 1 repeat, there I* no peonage in Georgia, w-hatever state ments to the contrary may be made." No small amount of confusion ha* arisen on account of the fact that the department of Justice has, from time to time, nent special agents to different pari* of the South to Investigate al leged ca*es of peonage. In Florida a special effort Is now being made to ascertain whether or not peonage of a severe nature really exists among the camp* of foreigners located there. In Florida there I* a number of people from other countries, and It Is said that many of the complaints which have I been tiled with the department of Jus tice over the treatment received by them was due to the fact that they were unaccustomed to the manner of ue,rnl1, living In this country, and. having be- • Detective come dissatisfied, made complaints to York, has representatives of their government here.
