COLUMBIA, S. c., September 4.-The
constitutional convention to-day was en-

In another section IL is made the duty

PROSECUTION CLOSES.
FINAL WITNESS CONNECTING DUR
RANT WITH LAMONT MURDER.
Defence Promises Sensational DEE
veIopments, hut There In General
Case Against Them.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. September
closed this evening. Three more OF It's
witnesses will be recalled for the ac-
commodatlon OF the defence tomorrow,
but will testify only TO the fact OF the
finding OF the body OF Miss Lamont In the
tower.
The most important OF the final wit.
nesses connecting Durrant with the muir.
der was William Sterling. gas-ftten
who put saving-burners on all the gas
cocks in the church the day before the
murder. He to-day correlated Janitos
Sademan In saying that there was a leak
in one OF the chandeliers near the en-.
trance to the vestibule. which Is sup
posed to have supplied the gas smelt by
George King when he entered the church
on the day OF the murder. just before
Durrant burst on his view, pale. weak.
and aYitated.
The day after the murder Sterling said
he had taken out the sunburners, on
which Durrant claimed to have been
working when overcome with gas. He
found nothing the matter with them. and
no gas leaking In that part OF the build
ing.
While trying TO reach the ceiling on
the day after the murder he found tina
knob broken OFF the belfry-door. He
could not open the door. Had he done
so the murder would probably have been
discovered.
Three more witnesses were to-day In.
troduced to whom Durrant had denied
that he had seen Miss Lamont on thu
afternoon of the murder; though he adj
mitted that he was with her that MORN
ing. This testimony is to prevent the
defence from explaining Durrants being
in Miss Lamonts company on that after.
noon. even should II desire TO do sos
which Is not probable.
The defence win open tomorrow MORN
ing. but IL IL not yet known II II will OUT
line its case In n speech.
Durrants attorneys are very secretive.
for the alleged reason that they 10 not
want their witnesses 10 be attacked by
the prosecution.
The defence promises sensational devel-
opments. but there is general doubt
OF its ability to affect the case OF tho
prosecution.
