TURNER’S BIG DAY. The Jail Swarms with Visitors to See Jennie Bowman's Murderer. Asa psychological study, says the Louis- Con Her-Journal, Albert Turner, who is to expiate a fearful crime upon the gallows to day, presents an interesting subject, but what must be still more attractive to the ob server of human nature are the people who come to gaze upon this man, standing as it were, almost upon the verge of eternity. It is estimated that yesterday, between the hours of 10 o’clock in the morning and 5 o’clock in the evening, not less than 2,500 visitors were admitted to the jail, and it is a fact that these figures scarcely enumerate one-third of those who sought admission and were denied for lack of accommodation in the way of entrance and exit. Of those who were gratified by a look at the condemned, considerably more than one-half were women and girls, some of the latter of a very tender age. The women were not all, as might be supposed, of the lower ele ments of society, although of course those classes predominated, but were in some in stances ladies who are sometimes seen in their carriages on Fourth avenue and among the gay assemblages of the higher social life, while many were from the middle walks. Let it be said, however, for Louis ville womanhood that those of the better classes who came felt keenly the horror of the picture presented, which did not pre vent them from being very much ashamed of the step they had been led to take. The panorama of human feeling presented before the grated window of Turner’s cell yesterday was well worthy the art of a Hogarth and the pen of a Hugo. Jailer Bailey had announced that he would begin admitting visitors at 10 o’clock in the morn ing, and by that hour several hundred people had collected in front of the outer jail door. Before 11 o’clock the crowd had increased to such an extent that it reached almost across the street and numbered sev eral thousand. Turner was prepared for his guests, and hoped to reap a golden harvest, in which he was not disappointed. His toilet was care fully made, and he appeared better in both dress and figure, perhaps, than ever before in his life. He had been nicely shaved, and his bushy wool was parted with great care in. the center. Ho wore a black-checked shirt, and the vest of his neat dark suit was negligently unbuttoned. From it dangled a heavy gold-plated chain, to the end of which was attached a cheap silver watch. His turn down collar fit him well, and a dark tie set off ths ensemble very well. He wore a cheerful, business-like air, and was ever alert to the matter then in hand— that of securing funds to procure for him an imposing funeral after Ins neck had been broken. There are two windows to his cell, the bars running horizontally only. In one were advantageously displayed a half dozen of his photographs, and excellent likenesses they are. Above them was pasted a piece of paper, on which was inscribed a request for visitors to purchase, the proceeds to be applied toward his burial. In the other window, and the one from which the doomed man looked for the gratification of the curi ous, was a cigar-box with a slit in the top for the admission of money. Before the people came he moved about in the narrow cell a great deal, not ner vously, but impatiently, and asked several times why no one had yet been allowed to see him. Bo 'ore his cell were two barrels, supportlw- a piece of new ioist plank, be hind stood “Jim” Tolbert, the death watch, a man past middle age, with a kind ly though worried expression. The plank served to keep the visitors from approachmg within more than two feet of the window. Two policemen guarded the outer door of the jail, and *>.eir entire time and patience was taxed in holding back the surging crowd, which presented very much the ap pearance of a giant pack of hungry wolves, so strong was the morbid curiosity ex pressed. At 10 o’clock the first batch of wonder seekers was admitted, and from then on, with but one short intermission, the ener gies of Col. Bailey’s officered corps of depu ty jailers were pushed to the utmost. The most trving position was that of Death watch Tolbert, whose functions gradually assumed those combined of a side-show “blower,” ticket taker and cashier for some money-making freak of nature. As the people were admitted at the big outer door, two turnkeys stationed in front of the iusido entrance to the prison, sepa rated, by race discrimination, the sheep from the goats as it were. The colored citi zens and men who came without ladies were turned to the left, and waited in the office until the preceding batch hail seen the show. The ladies who came unattended and the men who escorted their wives, sisters or sweethearts were, if their respectability made itself apparent by their apparel, turned to the right and into the suite of rooms which constitute the private offices and parlor of the jail. The creme de la creme of the guests were shown into the handsomely furnished little parlor, and the scene presented there was misleading. To look within one would scarcely pre sume that the dozen or more well-dressed young, middle-aged and elderly women who sat about in upholstered chairs were waiting to look at a condemned negro murderer, w'hose offense had been the slaughter of an innocent but brave girl, but such they were. Many of them did not look entirely at their ease, which is perhaps to their credit. There was very little conversation, which indi cated their constrained feelings. Outside the parlor in the two private offices, the I>eoplo waited quietly their turn. Across the ball, however, it was different, which showed that the line of caste had been wisely drawn by the knowing jailers. There was a great deal of jostling and push ing for a position which would bring a quicker realization to undisguised hopes, and there was considerable hilarity and jesting—as much as dared show itself under the eye of the officers. THE QUESTION OF EQUITY was readily solved by the turnkeys, whose, attention alternated between those on the right and the others on the left. A batch of fifteen or twenty from one side was first parceled oiT, and when it had feasted upon the entertainment offered at so reasonable a price within, and had passed out into the rtruggling mass surrounding the prison, a batch from tne other side followed in the footsteps of those who had gone before. The scene presented where death-watch Tolbert stood with a stout stick guarding the rights <if his charge, was one rarely met. In many of its features it was perhaps un precedented. The idea sf a man exacting a price from the public for looking at him, because of the interest which attaches to him by reason of a frightful crime he has committed, and a not less terrible penalty that he must pay, is revolting to almost any one, and especially to those of finer sensi bilities. And when the incidental and ob jective features of this peculiar speculation are considered, the situation almost exceeds belief. When a squad of people had ga thored about the CELL OF THE MURDERER, in an advantageous position, according to the direction of the death watch, the latter announced in a very business like voice and manner that the people could no doubt read the legend on the gratings, which requested alms for funeral expenses, and they would therefore please extend the required pecu niary assistance. In some instances the peo ple seemed somewhat dull of understanding, and then tho watch, who was very faithful iu the discharge of his moral duty toward the prisoner, would say: “Now, you might stand here all day. but if you didn’t put a nickel in the box Turner would not show himself. Hurry up, because we've got no time to waste." In this way many coins were exacted from unwilling and penurious curiosity seekers, and when, finally, all had contributed, an “All right,. Albert,” brought the murderer before £ne syndicate in a manner much re sembling the appearance of a “Jack-in-the box” from his hiding place. IT WAS'A STUDY to watch the various facial expressions pro duced by the appearance of the condemned. The round horizontal bars were four or more inches apart, and the view tq be had was of the best. Some of the visitors looked pity ingly; some with evident horror, others with intense curiosity, unmixed with any other feeling, while some accepted the situ ation smilingly and unconcernedly as though it were a very pleasing show. There was a great deal of craning of necks by some and tiptoeing on the part of short people in the rear for a good look, and the death watch, whose ideas of fairness led him to see to it that every one got the worth of his money, compelled those who had, to his mind, devoured the sight sufficiently, to step to the rear and give some small per son a chance. Meanwhile the wonder of the hour stood like a prize bull under temporary suspension of hostilities, allowing his patrons to feast upon his vast proportions. His small, un expressionless eyes moved restlessly, and no doubt they carried every incident of the scene to the animal-like brain and mind. In his hand he held the little silver watch which he had taken from his pocket the very second he came before his visitors, and at the end of two minutes, no more or less, he disappeared, jack-in-the-box style, again, and the ‘‘poppy” show was over. “Move on out, now,” cried the death watch, “There’s more to come, move on,” ho continued, as he gave two or three of the more curious who lingered gaping at space a gentle push, and the place was cleared for the space of half a minute. THEN ANOTHER SQUAD came, and the performance was repeated, and this was continued hour after hour un til the policeman, turnkeys, and the death watch, especially, were weary with well doing. It became monotonous finally to the ob server, although occasionally there was an enlivening incident. The first squad of vis itors which came when the doors were thrown open at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, composed among others five very pretty girls, all about seventeen years of age. It was quite a surprise to see these fresh-faced young people, who were well-dressed and evidently well-bred, bent on such a mission. One of them turned away in horror as soon as Turner showed himself and could not again look at him. Sho clutched her companion’s arm nervously, murmured something, and looked as though she wished she had not come. One of the others, a sweet-faced child almost, never raised her pretty blue eyes, but looked askance at the man in the cage now and then, but more at the crowd. None of these girls seemed to enjoy the sight one bit. and got out very hurriedly with their chaperones when the signal was given. SOME INTERESTING INCIDENTS. In a batch composed mostly of colored people was an old colored woman, who, when Turner made his appearance, leaned over the board and said; “Albert, don’t you know old Aunt Jane, who used to live on Eighth street?” “Yes, I know you, Aunt Jane.” “I knowed you did. Now, Albert, your time is short, very short,” continued the old aunty, solemnly, and looking earnestly at Turner, “and I tell you, Albert, you must spend every minute, every single minute, in examining yourself. Examine yourself closely, Albert, and prepare to meet your God.’ The earnest old soul gazed steadfastly at tbf) condemned, and added, mournfully: ‘I ain’t saw you since you was a little boy, Albert,” and then she turned away, with a reassuring good-bye- and a wave of her - hand. A woman of color, though almost white and very good looking, ana well and mod estly dressed, stood before the grating. She said nothing, but HER LIPS TREMBLED and the tears came. She proffered half a dollar, and as she received two photographs and turned away, the tears gushed from her eyes. She was one of Turner’s former mis tresses, and as she in a measure had a right to her sorrow, there was true pathos in this little piece of by-play. A strange-looking creature made her ap pearance with still another squad. She was white. Her emaciated frame was incased in along, rusty-black cloak, which reached below her feet and clung to her like a shroud. She was rather tall, and the old black straw hat she wore was bound to her head with a black veil, which partially covered her pale, drawn face. Her expression was a little wild, and she looked “cranky.” In her hand was a cigar BOX CONTAINING CANDY, .so she said, for, Albert. When Turner made himself seen she asked him several questions about his religious and physical health in a quivering, weak voice, and finally said: “I’ve brought you some candy, Albert; do you want it?” “I guess I don’t want it,” replied Turner. “All right; will you shake hands with me?” She was obliged to wait while another lot was mustered in, and finally Turner reached his hand through. She took it and then left the jail crying bitterly and murmuring: “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.” There were other incidents of an equally interesting character. At 5 o’clock the last squad of sight-seers filed out and Turner’s levee for the day was at an end. An Apple-eating Spirit. From the Religio-Philosophical Journal. My two nieces,in their last visit to Mrs. K., the medium.earried with them some fruit to a friend. When the slate was placed in the usual position the following writing was found written on it: “Children, that was beautiful fruit you brought with you this morning. I would like to eat some fruit from that old home stead. Grandpa.” An apple and a bunch of grapes were laid on the slate and held under the table; but it was suggested by one of the girls that grand pa could not eat the apple without having a knife. The thought was doubtlessly suggested by the belief that ghosts had no beeth, as it was generally believed that they had as sumed wings, notwithstanding Paul had taught “there was a natural body and there was a spiritual body.” A case knife was placed on the slate; but immediately it was thrown with much force across the room, and struck against the wall. In a short time after the signal of tho raps wore made, and the slate withdrawn, it was discovered the seed and skins of tbo bunch; of grapes lay in a pile, and one-half of the apple had disap peared, and no trace of a particle of it was found. The other half of the apple showed the points of teeth on the outside. When the slate was replaced the following was written upon it: “Now, children, you see grandpa can eat apples without the use of a knife.” This was tho last sitting of the young ladies. After receiving several messages or purely a family character they arose to de part, and on doing so remarked: “Good-by, grandpa," when a hand was thrust out from under tno table, and in turn grasped the bands of each with an unusual cordial adieu squeeze.

Judge White ca ■ out and congratulated the bride, who sf her name was Etta Hilem. By this tii i over 350 people had gathered about the riage, ana were shouting their approbati and congratulations to the apparently Imp] and blushing maiden. Etta told the Judge she was happy not and would be a better woman than she ha been heretofore. One of the crowd venturi to ask where the bridal presents were. Etj sadly pointed to a black eye, which she al serttni “Comanche Bill” had given her la? night. The bridal party began to be imp) tient of the Recorder’s delay in making oi the license, when all of a sudden ‘‘Bill came jumping out of the Recorder’s offlq waving the marriage license in the air aii yelling like an Indian of the tribe aftd which he is named. Judge White had ju* gathered himself together to perform til ceremony, when Etta, standing up in til carriage, shouted: “Drive on, Charley,” and the carriaj drove on, leaving “Bill” on the sidewa swearing like a trooper und shaking his 1; at the retreating carriage. Judge Whi condoled him with the fact that there we plenty of women who were willing. “Bx threw his hat in the air and shouted, missed the lasso this time.” The crowd ga i three cheers for Bill and separated.
