" DAMAGING' TESTIMONY.
Durrant's Evidence Shown
Be Unreliable.
to
HIS ENTIRE DEFENSE SWEPT AWAY.
A Witness Testifies to a Sensational In
terview With the Arrnwd While In Jail.
'Asked V Compare Notes, Hut Had
one of His Own.
San Francisco, Oct. 23 At the
opening of court the defense in the
trial of Theodore Durrant announced
that it had finished its case, and the
taking of testimony in rebuttal was at
once bepun by the prosecution. The
testimony was the most important
given during the trial, as it conflicted
with several' vital statements made by
Durrant while he was on the stand.
The testimony of Dr. (lubert Y. (Ira
ham, for instance, is considered by
many to sweep away Durrant's entire
defense.
Graham, who is a medical student
and an intimate friend of Durrant, told
of a sensational interview that took
place between himself and the prisoner
at the county jail on April 20. Dr.
(irahara was accompanied to the prison
by J. S. DanniKan. a newspaper man,
who was asked by Durrant to retire
after he had been there a few minutes.
Graham said, that after Duuniau
stepped aside Durrant aked him if he
would let him see his notes of Dr.
C'neuey's lecture in order that he might
compare them with his own. Graham
demurred at first, after which he said
Durrant stated frankly to him that he
had no notes of the lecture. He said
Durrant told him if he had the notes of
the lecture he could easily establisn a
strong alibi for himself, and urged hiin
to leave the notes with Mrs. Durrant
in order that she might bring them to
him at the prison. Dr. Graham said
he refused the request and never after
ward visited Durrant at the pri-.
Dr. Graham's story was uoi .litkeii
in any particular on cross-examination.
While lie was testifying the jurors
watched Dnrrant closely.- but he gave
no sign to indicate that he considered
the testimony of aur""importaiice.
Tlie tirst witnesses called iu rebuttal
by the prosecution were the five trus
tees of Emanuel church. While Dur
raut was on the stand he testified that
he was asked to repair the sunburner
at Emanuel church on April 1 by the
trustees. The trustees denied that
they had asked Dnrrant to make re
pairs of any kind at the church during
ilarch or April.
Witnesses were next called to dis
prove Durrant's statement that on the
afternoon of April 12 he was at the
ferry for the purpose of searching for
Blam-he Lamout, who, he said, a mys
terious stranger had told him would
cross the bay that afternoon. C. W.
Dodg, a medical student, said he saw
Durrant at the ferry and the prisoner
told him he was waiting for a number
of members of the signal corps" who
were expected from Oakland. C. A.
Dukes, a medical student who accom
panied Dodge, corroborated his testi
mony. A. A. Hobe. an old schoolmate of
Durrant. testified that he saw Dnrrant
at the ferry the same afternoon in com
pany with a young woman who answer
ed the description of .Minnie Williams.
It is known that Mamie Williams came
over from her home in Alameda that
afternoon, and the next day her body
was found in Emanuel church. It is
the theory of the prosecution that in
stead of being at the ferry to look for
Dlanche Lamont, Darrant was there for
the purpose of meeting Miss Williams
and luring her to her .eath. .
E. A. Glazer. a student at the medi
cal college, testified that on the after
noon of April 10 Dnrrant asked him to
read aloud his note of Dr. Cheney's
lecture. Glazer said he read his notes
to Durrant, who devoted three-quarters
of an hour to writing in his notebook.
The defense tried to show that it was
customary for students to .compare
notes.) but Glazer said that Durrant
read nothing that purported to be his
own notes."
t'harh s Morrison and J. H. Cooper,
newspaper reporters, told of an inter-,
view they had with Durrant in the
city prison on the night of his arrest.
Both witnesses testified that Durrant
said he arrived at the chnrch on April
.'between 4 and 4:30 in the afternoon.
This testimony conflicts with the state
ment Durrant now makes, to the effect
that he. did not arrive at the church
until j o'clock. Morrison and Cooper,
who were present at- the interview be
tween Reporter Marshall and Detective
Gibson, also testified that it was un
true, as alleged by Marshall, that Gib
son said he saw the print of a No. S or
! shoe in the belfry near where Blanche
Lament's body was found. .
From the present outlook the case
will go to the -jury not later than the
close of next week, after being on trial
since July 22. District Attorney Barnes
nays all or the rebuttal testimony will
be introduced at ouce, and, as the de
fense has no more witnesses, the argu
ments will begin on Thursday.

Cheer the Chief Kxecutive and Stall
as They I'ass Along the .Streets.
Atlanta, Oct. 23. For the present
at least the seat of government of the
United States may bsaid to have been
transferred to Atlanta, for the city
harbors the president, the vice presi
dent and six members of the cabinet, not
to mention Treasurer Jordan, Govern
ors Coffin of Connecticut, O'Ferral of
Virginia, Stqne of Mississippi and a
host of other dignitaries of officialdom.
On time to the minute the presi
dential special, running as the first sec
tion of the southwestern vestibule lim
ited ou the Southern railway, rolled
into the depot. In accordance with the
exDressed wish of the president and
the desire of the exposition authorities,
the arrival of the party was deprived
of anything in the nature of a hippo
drome. Ten thousand people had assembled
in the vicinity of the station, crowding
the streets as thickly as the space
would allow and overflowing for sev
eral blocks in every direction. The
roofs, windows, awnings, telegraph
poles and every point of vantage in
the neighborhood had been utilized by
eager onlookers. The special was
stopped outside the depot, however, the
party disembarked and escorted to car
riages by the reception committee and
then drive to the Hotel Aragou, their
destination, began before the expect
ant thousands realized that the distin
guished visiters had reached the city.
Nevertheless, as the president's car
riage, drawn by four white horses,
dashed around the corner of the sta
tion, the crowd recognized the portly
form of the president, and a mighty
cheer went up, which grew and de
veloped into a roar as the line of car
riages sped rapidly up Irior street,
through the mass of enthusiastic hu
manity. Mr. Cleveland was in evident good
humor and bowed in response to the
continuous ovation he received all the
way to his hotel. Secretary Carlisle
who, with Mrs. Carlisle, rode in the
second carnage, was cheered frequent
ly, and Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith, who found himself on his native
heath, was given a hearty reception.
The president and his cabinet officers
sat down in the Aragou banquet hall to
a dinner tendered in their houor by Hon.
Porter King, mayor of Atlanta. Cov
ers were laid for 80, including the ex
position officials, the city council, the
visiting governors . and other distin
guished citizens. The city is crowded
with visitors and the superb weather
that has prevailed so far assures an at
tendance of 100,000 visitors at the ex
position Today the president will be driven to
the exposition grounds, where he will
review the military, deliver a brief ad
dress, hold a public reception and make
a tour of the buildings. In the even
ing he will be tendered a reception at
the Capital City club, and at midnight
will leave for Washington.

POSSIBLY A NEW DEAL.
Managers Still Hope to Bring
the Fighters Together.
CLAIM THAT THE MES MUST MEET.
Corbett InslsU on Fighting In Pnblie TJn
less Fitzslmmona Increases His Side
Wager Sanguine of a Favorable leci
. slon From the Supreme Court.
Hot Springs, Oct. 23. While the big
fight has been formally declared off.
there is still a deal of hope in the na
tive's breast that Corbett and Fitzsim
nious will come together here in the
foothills of the Ozark mountains. ' The
situation is, of course, complicated. So
far as its relations with the Florida
Athletic club is concerned, the heavy
weight battle under the original Cole
man House agreement, which waa sub
sequently amended at Dallas, is a thing
of the past. In its stead has cropped
up a proposition to sign new articles to
fight for a purse not exceeding $ 25.000
and have the battle here three weeks
later than the date originally agreed
upon. Corbett, it is known, favors this
plan. Oct. 31. the day the battle was
set for at Dallas, was fixed upon be
cause it is a big day at the btate fair.
While Julian insists on the full text
and letter of the articles, both as to
the date and purse, it is known here
that Fitzsimmons will come about and
aip-ee to a deferment of the hostilities.
It is also thought that he will submit
to a redaction of the purse originally
nung up by tbe club and sign new arti
cles. He recognizes thefact that on the
face of recent developments, Corbett
has shrewdly enscoused himself in the
best of it. To overcome this, he most
and will tight. Martin Julian handed
a statement to our representative and
then supplemented it by making public
tbe names of six men he had selected
from whom the referee was to be
chosen by Brady. The men named are
as follows: John L. Sullivan of Bos
ton, Jake Kilrain of Baltimore, Mike
Donovan of ISew 1 ork, Prof, vohu M.
- Duffy of New Orleans, Yank Sullivan
of Syracuse and Lou 31. Houseman.
sporting editor of Tbe Inter-Ocean of
Chicago.
The names submitted permit of the
selection of but one man in the list.
Houseman. Brady would hardly select
Sullivan or Kilrain, on the ground that
Corbet bad whipped them, and this
might prejudice them. Mike Donovan
and Corbett have not spoken since the
Sullivan fight. Yank Sullivan and
Duffy have been rejected by Corbett al
ready.- J ulan s proposition now is to
bring his man on to Hot Springs Oct.
30. put his side bet of 10,000 upTin the
hands of Houseman, ask Corbett to do
the same, and then allow Housemen to
appoint an hour and place for the men
to meet in private.
If this plan fails, as is likely, for Cor
bett insists on fighting in publio unless
Fitzsimmons increases his side wager
to f.'U,WU, vendig and Stuart think a
new deal is sure to ensue. They say
that tne men must meet and that they
will come together here. Just on what
lines the conclusion ia reached is not ap
parent, but the friends of the club and
the fighters here are sanguine of a f av
orable. decision on the appeal to the su
preme court on Chancellor Leather
man's finding in the habeas corpus case.
A Corpus Cristi special says Fitz
simmons has made this statement:
"You can say for me that I now chal
lenge the world for a (10,000 side bet
and the championship in this or anv
other country. Furthermore, I will
meet Corbett for the 1 10,000 side bet
and will let the gate receipts be given
to charitable institutions of New York
city." -
