Maud Lamont was very indefinite in
her answer at best. The statement was
that her sister weighed lis pounds when
she came down from Montana and had
afterward grown five to seven pounds
stouter. That lett room for conjecture
on the part OF the jury.
But Dickinsons technicaiity led to the
production on the stand of William
Richard Charlton. On March 2sth just
uix days before Blanche Lamont disap-
peared, Charlton, then grocer with a
store opposite her home, had weighed
Miss Lamont on his scales and her weigh
was Just 115K pounds-a weight that
an ordinarily strong young man could
carry up a.belfry stairs.
Charlton had weighed her several times
before and the highest she mad ever
gone was 12l pounds. Dickinson could
do nothing with HIM. Altogether, when
Charlton left the stand every body in the
court room was certain of Blanche La
mont's weight and it looked as if the de-

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12.-Pouring

pushed and fought for admission to the
corridor of the city hall leading to the
court room where the trial was being held

testimony is gathered in. all eyes are on
Durant. But the prisoner has so far su c.
ceeded in battling all curiosity. He listens
to all the testimony without exhibiting
any feeling. Considerable importance is
beng attached to the weight of Blanche
Lamont at the time OF her death. The
defense will lay stress on the inability of
one man TO carry heavy body up such
a steep flight of steps as leads to the bel
fry of Emanuel church. Hence the pros
ecution was elated at the testimony to-
day of Richard Charlton. a grocer, who
stated that he had weighed Blanche once
week for six months to see if she was
growing heavier by reason of her resi-
dence here. On the 9th or 2Sth of March
she weighed ll5 pounds. A week later
she disappeared. Her greatest weight
was 121 pounds. A new witness appear
ed in the person of Henry J. Shalmount,
cable car conductor. who testified that
Durrant and Miss Lamont had ridden to-
gether to school on the morning of April
Sd. He had seen them frequently and his
attention was particularly directed to
them on this day by their behavior and
their evident intimacy. When he de

the son seemed to relish the rem en-
brance, while the father acted as if he con-
sidered the affair a huge joke. Several
other witnesses were introduced to prove
that Blanche and Durrant went to school
together on the fateful morning. Then
the defense admitted the fact that they
were together and this line of inquiry was
abandoned by the prosecution.

He is charged by Francisco Paderes with
having murdered the Tempe family at

their escape from Ensenada Jail several
weeks ago and crossed the line into Cal

One of our contributors few weeks
ago in answer to a question gave his
plan of culivating and harvesting the
peanut, and it appeared extremely sim
pie and inexpensive. There is in fact
nothing complicated about cultivating
the'plant and while the profits from the
sale of pindars, COOLERS or peanuts would
perhaps fail to make millionaires of the
growers, 1t would help to fill the hungry
gap between orange crops, and as this is
exactly what the orange growers are
looking for just now; short sermon on
the peanut will not be Inappropriate.

rotation is sofa beans or cowpeas, to be
followed the succeeding year by peanuts,
and the next year by sweet potatoes; or
the following one, that will keep the
land well covered and is perhaps more
convenient for the average peanut
planter, is recommended: Peanuts fol-
lowed in the fall by winter rye or oats
and the next summer the land sown to
crimson clover, to be followed the sue
ceeding year by peanuts again, so that
every other year peanuts will be the
crop. The advantage of this would be
an increased forage crop for the farmer
"a much. needed addition in the peanut
raising sections of the United States
the covering of the land during nearly
the whole year with a growing crop and
the rotation of cereal with 1egu-
minous crop. Even in this system of
rotation fertilizers should be used, until
the soil is brought into good condition
and no longer responds proftably to
fertilizers.
1t should be clearly understood that
constant cropping without the use of
proper rotations or manures must
eventually improverish both the soil and
the planter.
There is no mystery connected with
the culture of the peanut crop or any
special secret knowledge as to the prep
aration of the land. Any modes of prep
aratlon that will reduce the soil to a
finely pulverized seed bed, light and
friab to the depth of 4 or inches, will
be safe to adopt. The ordinary course
followed by successful planters in
various sections where peanuts are a
prominent-cr crop, is to break up the land
with ordinary turn pillow as soon in the
spring as the soil is in condition to be
worked, and then use harrow and
roller or smoothing board in such way
as to leave leyel surface and seed bed.
The seed should not only be carefully
selected at the time of planting, care
fully prepared so as not to break the
skin of the kernel, and all imma allure,
shriveled, or musty seeds rejected, but
especial care should be exercised at the
harvesting of the previous crop so that
the seed may be of as great vitality as
possible.
AS it requires two bushels of nuts in
the pod to give seed enough for an acre,
and some farmers plant from so to 100
and even more acres, it is necessary to
begin to shell the seed (nuts) several
weeks before the time of planting.
This requires some skill and care, both
in opening and pod to AVOID the break.
ing of the skin of the kernel and in
selecting the sound and rejecting the
imperfect kernels as they are shelled;
and the seeds thus shelled must be kept
in dry, cool, airy place until the
time of planting.
The time of planting depends upon
the latitude, the distance from the sea,
and the elevation of the section in which
the seed is to be planted. In Virginia
from May to 20 is probably the time
during which the large part of the crop
is planted, danger of killing frosts being
past by that time, although some farm
ers plant the last week Of April and
