an lntlnuitu friend of Ihir.mr, tohl of a
sonsntimml Interview tlmf. took plmo le
twoun lilinRolf nnd the prisoner nt (he
county jail on April !). Dr. (iialmni was
accompanied to thn prison ly ,1. S. Dun
lilKiin, a newspaper man, who was nsui d
by Dtirant to rellre after hn had licen
there a few minutes, (iriilintn said that
aftor Dnnnlf-'nn nti'ppeil asido Dntaiit
asked him If ho would let him see his
notes of Dr. Cheney's lecturo in ord.n'that
ho mluht rompaio them with hln own.
Urnham demurred at. flr-r., after which he
aid Durant. staled frankly to him that
lie had tin Holes nf the lecture.
Ho mid Dunint told him if ho had the
notes of tho lecture ho could easily estab
lish n strong aiihl for hlniself and mrcd
him to lcavo tho notes with Mis. Duiaiil
In order that shn inliilit hrlng them to
him at tho prison. Dr. Uraliam paid he
refused thn request nod never afterward
Visited Dur'iut at tho prison.
Unroot Is Stilt Culm.
Dr. Orahnm's story was not shaken In
any particular on cross examination.
While ho was testifying tho jurors
watched Durant closely, hut ho finvo no
slnn to Indira!" that hn considered the
testlmuny of any Importance. Dr. (it-aham
will Ira reoallcdjtomorrow for further cross
examination.
Tho first witness called In rehullnl hy
thn prosncul ion were tlio llvo trustees of
Knmnuel church.
Whllo Durant wns on the stand he testi
fied that ho wns asked hy tho trustees lo
repair tho sun humor at Knianuel church
on April 1. The trustees denied that they
hnd nsked Durant to make repairs of any
kind nt tho church during March or April.
Witnesses were next railed to disprove
Durant's statement that ith the afternoon
of April he was at the ferry for the pur
poso of searching for Klnncho 1. anoint,
who, ho said, a mysterious stranwer had
told him would cross tho hay that after
noon. l W. Dtultfp, a incillcal student,
said ho saw Durant nt tho ferry, and tho
prisoner tohl him ho was waitlmr for a
liuinhcr of inenitiers of tho signal corps,
who wero expected from Oakland. (.!. A.
Dukes, a incillcal student whoaeompaniod
Dodffo, corroborated his testimony.
A. A. Hnhp, an old schoolmate of Du
rant's, tcstlllM that ho saw Durant at the
fprry tho samo nfternonn, in company
with a young woman who answered the
description of Mlnnln Williams.
It Is known that Minnie Williams camo
over from her homo In Alameda that aft
ernoon, and tho next day her body was
found In Knmnuel church. It Is tho tlio
ory of the prosecution that instead of ho
liiK at tho ferry to look for lllaueho I,a
mont, Durant was thero for tho ptirposo of
mooting Miss Williams nnd hid eg her to
hor death.
K. A. fjlnser, a student nt tho Medical
college., testified that on tho afternoon of
April 10 Durant nsked him to read aloud
his notes of Dr. Cheney's lecturo. (ilaser
Aid ho read his notes to Durant, who do
votod three-quarters of nn hour to writing
In his notebook. Tho defense tried to show
that It wnsoustomary for students to com
paro notes, hut (ilaser said that Durant
rend nothing that purported to ho his own
notos.
