The general expectation, however, was that lie more than likely would overstep the limit that he had set for himself. When an adjournment wss taken Saturday, Dorsey had spoken hours and fifteen minutes. He hud announced his intention at the outse- not to slur over any portion of the State's eveidence and he kept his word very well. Tehrre was little important testimony to which he had ' not given reference. To some of It he had given considerable time Centers Atock On Frank’s Alibi. Tile character of Fr/nk the alibi "" 1 up by the defense and the note! found In the basement by the side of the dead girl had received probably more of his earnest attention than any other phases of the crime mys tery. If the Jurors were to accept Ills graphic description of the manner In which the crime was committed, it was a mystery no longer.

He de. manded the death penalty for the ac cused man and said that the Jurors.

The Judge had the main points of the charge outlined when court convened Mon day morning It emhraeed n clear definition of the "reasonable doubt," the existence of which, according to the law, must force the verdict of not guilty." The Judge also was ex pected to dwell at some length on the value of circumetalntlal evidence as It h.-ts been presented during the trill of Frank. As the State has been compelled to rely entirely upon a I rain of circum stances In building up Its case against the defendant, Solicitor Dorsey and his associate, Frank A. Hooper, have been frequent in their insistence that circumstantial evidence is the best kind of evidence, and that, as a mat ter of fact, it is almost Impossible 10 arrive at an absolute certainly in any criminal court. Dorsey’s Argument Strong and Masterly. It was manifestly apparent that the address of the Solicitor was having ils influence with the Jurors It was a strong, masterly argument. One could hardly doubt that Dorsey was convinced beyond the shade of a doubt of the guilt of the man he was prosecuting. This air of sincerity probably was not without Its effect. With the denunciatory words ring ing in their ears, it became not a re mote possibility that it would de pend on the tenor of Judge Roan's charge as to what the outcome of the jurors' deliberations would be. After a preliminary ballot is cast by the jurymen, they will elect a fore man and the discussion of the case will "begin. Each man will be per mitted to express his views, and ni intervals a formal ballot will be taken.

Bankers’ Protests Not Likely To Be Heeded—Wilson’s Plan Finds Strong Backing. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Informal conferences of Democratic members of the House Currency Committee emphasize the fact that the active supportesr of the President’s cur rency plan expect to put the measure through the House without substan tial change. The amendments proposed by the bankers, It Is pointed out, were all considered in detail when the bill was originally prepared and In the long debate over Its provisiosn In the House Committee on Banking and Currency. The proposal to reduce the quantity of reserves and give country banks the privilege of keeping part of their reserves In the large cities had many supporters and ultimately may be worked into the bill in the Senate, but the change is not expected In the House. The bankers will have an opportu nity to present their views openly to Congress after the curfency bill gets into the Senate. Chairman Owen, of the Senate Currency Committee, said that while hearings had not yet been arranged, he expected leading repre sentatives of the various "factions" amongst the bankers of the country would be invited to give their views of the bill to the Senate committee. The fact that leading bankers hold differing views of the effect of the new legislation, particularly with re gard to the possible reduction of loans and curtailment of credit, has led members of the Senate commit tee to hope that a further discussion of the bill at open hearings would re sult in the co-operation and support of a large portion of the banking fra ternity of the country. In the opinion of Democratic lead ers, the past week saw greater prog ress toward united support of Pres ident Wilson’s legislative policies than any recent stage of Congress activity. The entrance of Secretary Bryan as the whole-hearted advocate of the administration currency bill, in his letter read in the House caucus; the united front presented by the Democratic leaders of the House against amendments to the currency measure, and the complete success of the Senate Democrats in supporting the free sugar and other contested points of the tariff bill, have ad vanced the two big reforms a long way toward completion, it is claimed. Chairman Simmons, of the Senate Finance Committee, predicts the Sen ate could complete the tariff bill and pass it by September 5. and the measure could be finis ted by the con ference committee and signed by President Wilson by September 16. Only unforeseen delay in debate will prevent the tariff bill from becoming a law by that time, in the opinion of Senator Simmons. "Uphill Fight Ahead iFor Bankers”—Maddox. CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—R. P. Mad- dox, of Atlanta, member of the com mittee of the American Bankers’ As sociation appointed to fight for dras tic changes in the Owen-Glass cur rency bill, sa«d to-day: “Our work in this convention has been eminently satisfactory, but It must not end here. The bankers of the country In trying to secure amendments to a bill already in form and already thrashed out in Con gress are fighting an uphill fight. "If we go back to our various States and cities imbued with the spirit of the contest, we may be able to make Congress see our viewpoint, but we must remember that at pres ent Congress has been mostly on the other side and may not have a recep tive ear for us. The great part of the work is yet to be done, and much of It must be done by the committee to Washington.” Three More Noted Organists Coming One of the best of the “trial re citals" of the Atlanta Music Fes tival Association in its search for a city organist to succeed Dr. Percy J. Starnes was given at the Audi torium Sunday afternoon by E. Seton Blyth, the Scotch musician. His pro gram ranged from light selections to Peace’s "Sonata Da Camera." The following organists will be heard in the next three Sunday con certs, in the order named: Ferdinand Duncan, city organist of Seattle; Charles Reynolds, of Ocean Grove, N. J.. and Frederick Hall, of Had- don Heights. N. J . Wilson Honest and Able, Says Arc^bold NEW YORK. Aug. 25.—John D. Archbold and Mrs. Archbold have sailed for Europe.
