Solicitor Ciawson Williams is expected to de liver the closing argument tomorrow afternoon, and the chances, for an early disposal of the case will depend upon the length of JudSe R- A. Nunn's charge to the Jury. Jamesi H. Pou, veteran Raleigh at torney? thts morning at 10:20 o'clock completed his eight-hour argument , in behalf of the-defendant. closing with a grand flqurish. "II yo* find this man gulltv on the evidence in this case you will be butchering a human; being on the altar pi the false god of circumstances." he said in bringing hi? address to an end. He was followed by defense attor ney Daniel Bell, of Plttsboro. who also made an impassioned plea tor the defendant. Mr. Bell spoke for little more than an hour and '.vas fol lowed by Jones Puller. - Durham at torney. who pleaded eloquently in the prisoner's behalf. During the - afternoon session R. M. Oantt. of the state's counsel; spoke for mote than three hours attacking- the -de fenso alibi contention. Lieutenant Governor J.

New Hope For IVleNarv-H/au^en ? Bill Indicated By Maneuver President Ready To Accept Farm Relief BiH If Equalization Fee Is Eliminated VOTE ON PASSAGE OF BILL Washington. Mav 29.?Of Import ant bearing oh the National cam paign seems to be the maneuvjer made by President Coolidge on the McNary Haugen bill when- he proposed that ] . once the bill is .vetoed Congress shall eliminate the equalization fee and i then he will sign tt. Mr. Cooldige be- j lleves the house to a great extent fa vors passage of the McNary-Haugen ' 111 -r" ih. Tinrillzotinn fee. It seems to be top late in the session to frame any . compromise measure. President Coolidge has vetoed the McN'ary-Hamrerf Bill for the second time. Coolidce will in effect ask Congress, It > believed, either to give him o chance to sign the McNary-Haugen bill minus the equalization fee or there will be no iarm legislation ? at all. Members from the agricultural regions do not favor this circum stance To refuse to give the Mc Nary-Haugen bill right of way. so that a- measure without the equaliza tion fee caii be sent to Coolidge, would seem to indicate that the back ers of the equalization fee consider it vital enough make an. issue bv it self. In the house there has been* a di vided opinion and as finally brought from committee the equalization -fee was authorized for use only as an al ternative in the event that other ma chinery in the bill failed. It has been generally believed that the Fed eral Farm Board created by the measure would .hesitate to' apply-,the surplus provided If the bill failed The Knowledge that'some compro mise was necessary if farm legislation w'ere to be passed, plus the steady opposition of the President, have considerably weakened the' position of Hi* equalisation fee. President Coolidge is ready to ac c?!>t the entire McNary-Haugen bill without the equalization Tee. Should he eliminate the McNary-Haugen K rue; he ivlH take nwav the principal' prgumenl of the. Middle We? iieamt _h!s timlnistration.. Members of the r.ertcultnral 'section Tiav?~doiic -every? thing they could to get the equaliza tion fee through It is >*pectcd that a record vote will be taken to see it there are enough to pass ' the bill over the veto, and if there arc not. then 110 doubt the vote without the equalization fee will be strongly re commended. Possibly the hill will be lost in a I ! arliamentary maze. An? group of members wishing tO do so ran squelch efforts i to. revive thelfclfarv-Haugen bill once It Is vetoed. It Is under stood, howevej^r "iarni organizations are expected to ftght to ha've the bill amended tp suit President' Coolidge. It the bill without the equalization fee does come to a vote, it is expected that it will be passed by a large, margin The incident Is - of major political importance, as many advo cates of the present regime win oe able to say that a start has been made toward organizing (he machin ery of farm relief and argue that thev. want to see how the bill wcrks nrst before dicussing' the value of the i equalization Tee. and that It would! take some time, to put the equallza-' Hon fee into effect,.
