THE DURRANT TRIAL
NOTHING YET ESTABLISHED EXCEPT
THAT BLANCHE LAMONT Is DEAD.
The Defense Searching for Technical
fties-WilI Rely ON the Prosecution
Not Proving Its Case.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. S.--The taking of
testimony in the trial OF Theodore Durrart
is proceeding slowly. During the three days
In which witnesses have been on the stand
all that has been established is that
bears marks of violence. The prosecution
is inclined to make speed. wasting no time
in unnecessary queries. On the other hand.
the defense seems to be threading uncer-
tainties and searching for technicalities
In the cross-examination OF witnesses the
defendants attorneys continually throw out
fishing lines. hoping to catch discrepancy
in the testimony. They are diligently seek
Ing flaws but as yet have not found any
thing. The police detectives are still gath

ton. 1t Is now said the defense will rely
largely on the .improbability of the, prose-
cution proving it's case beyond any doubt.
To-day's witnesses In the trial we're in
troduced by the prosecution to complete
murdered. Policeman Riehl, who accom-
panied detective Gibson to Emanuel Church
on the day Blanche Lamonts body was
discovered, testified to the condition OF the
corpse. and to the presence Of blood on
the floor near the girls head on the belfry
stairs and on the floor where. it had
dripped from the steps. He stated there was
no evidence OF a struggle there. the infer
ence being developed by the defense that
Inc murder was cOmmltteu down stairs,
but the body was carried to the tower The
defense will try to show that one man
could not have borne this burden unaided.
The prosecution will try to prove that
Blanche weighed only ITO pounds and that
Durrant could have carried her with little
difficulty.

called by the district attorney to again es-
tablish the Identification OF his niece, both

Policeman T.. j. Coleman swore that on

Nazarene, was a lecher, whitened Sc
to be. We viii prove he was not what his
friends thought him 10 be.
WOMAN IN THE CASE.
1--WE will show that ne was found in
compromising position with a woman OF
Belleville. We will show that he was Wis
tied at his home by the woman in his
wife's absence. We will show that wom-
an was seen leaving the Hinshaw house
in the night by young man who was
calling on a young lady in Belleville. We
will prove that this lady also saw the
woman. We viii prove that the Rev. Hin
shaw and this woman were together in
Indianapolis. We will show that on diff
ferent. occasions he was seen at night
around this womans home.
Gentlemen Of the jury. there has been
every effort not TO find the murderer of
Mrs. Hinshaw, but rather to shield this
defendant. He is surrounded by his friends
and his family and even the family OF
his wife, some of whom are aiding him
In this fight. With that we have nothing
tives is not evidence on which TO try this
charge. The laws of the State OF Indiana
have been outraged. Murder most foul has
untimely death. And IL we, by our evi-
dence have pointed out the murderer, We
will ask you TO visit on him condign pun
TO believe that a minister of the Gospel
OF Peace would be guilty of such a crime
as this. but that he is guilty / do believe
as firmly as / believe there are stars shin
ing. His own tongue has convicted him.
No man can commit such an atrocious deed
without leaving tracks OF his great crime.
This the defendant has done and by his
own mouth he will stand condemned"
Mr.. Spaan finished at $40 O'Clock. The
deepest silence followed the claims OF what
the State would do Even Hinshaw and his
attorneys sat dumb.eas IL the new light
In which the case had been so clearly put
to the Jury conviction. The court
adjourned and the audience passed out In
silence. The bearing OF Hinshaw through
the arraignment was remarkable and re-
marked by all. In the morning he had come
to the court with heavy eyes as IL sleep
had not come to him In the night. During
the speech he sat in a rocking chair and
he rested his head on the back and at
times seemed to slip down and almost out
OF sight. His ayes had fixed and CLASSY
appearance and he rocked nervously at
times only to become quiet during the more
pointed remarks. His eyes blinked RAPIDLY
as the nervous strain told on him. While
the finding OF the blood on the sill was
described he laughed as he did while his
relations with the woman were told.
Tonight the jury is sleeping In the court
house. To-day's speech Is the talk or the
town. II is taken as verihcations OF a
rumor that has beer current for months.
and as making the States case almost GER
tain, II only the essential parts can be
proven. The first witness =. the morning
for the State will be DR.. Strong, OF Belle
Vile who will be followed by Mr.. and Mrs.
East and Mr.. and Mrs. Marker.
