Durrant replied that he did not,
and the direct examination was at
an end.
The cross Ss-eXamination, which
lasted only an hour before court took
a recess until tomorrow morning,
was confined to questions relative to
the life of Durrant prior to April 8.

GRIFFIN, Ca, Oct. "a tragedy

in which eight or nine children lost

TOLD BY DURRANT
ALLEGED MURDERER OF
BLANCHE LAMONT ON THE
WITNESS STAND.
REMARKABLE GOODNESS.
ONLY ONCE DID HE HESITATE
AND DROP HIS
EYES.
HIS DOINGs IN THE CHURCH.
Effect of the Story on the Jury
Said to BE Rather in the
Prisoners Favor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.-Theo-
dore Durrant, assistant superintend-
ent of Emmanuel church Sunday
day for the purpose of convincing the
jury selected to try him that he
did not murder Blanche Lamont in
the belfry Of the church on April
8. With the same GOODNESS that has
characterized his conduct since his
arrest, he denied the principal allie
cations that have been made against
him by the most important witnesses
for the prosecution. His answers
were always brief and to the point,
and many were interpreted to mean
that he had studied his part well be-
fore taking the stand. Only once
during the course of the direct eX-
BUSINESS or hesitancy. When Attor-
ney Dickinson asked him if he took
notes at DR.. Cheney's lecture on the
afternoon of April 8, he cast his eyes
toward the floor and for a moment
was silent. He replied that he had
taken notes, but that they were
brief. The hesitancy Of the prisoner
may be understood when it is eX-
planned that Gilbert F. Graham, one
of Durrant's most intimate friends,
will testify that Durrant asked to
borrow his notes of the lecture.
When the request was made Dur
rant explained that he only needed
the notes to establish q, good alibi.
Graham refused the request. Taken
altogether, Durrant's direct testi-
mony, which ended at o'clock, when
the cross-eXamination began, prob
ably had a tendency to strengthen
his case. His demeanor while on the
stand was certainly intended to i'm
press the jury with the opinion that
he was telling the truth. Questions
that would ordinarily cause a visible
impression on guilty man were
answered by Durrant with the ut
most unconcern. Even when Attor-
ney Deuprey asked him if on the
Sd of April, or at any other time, he
murdered or participated in the
numbering of Blanche Lamont, the
prisoner coolly replied in the mega
tive.

ON THE STAND.

The examination of Durrant was
begun with questions relative to his
age and his early life in this city.
! Coming down to the day upon which
Blanche Lamont was murdered, the
| prisoner was asked to relate his
movements from the time he left
his home in the morning until he re-
| turned at night. He said he met
| Miss Lamont on her way to school
and rode with her on a street car
until he reached Cooper Medical col
| lege. He said he remained at the
| college until 10 O'Clock, when he and
| another student named Ross went
| for a walk. When he returned an
hour later he went to the library,
where he was engaged in his studies
until noon4 Then he went to
| luncheon with a. student named Dig
| gins and returned at o'clock. After
luncheon Durrant remained in the
library until $3.50 o'clock, when he
attended DR.. Cheney's lecture He
said he was present at the roll call
at the close of the lecture and
| answered to his name.
|
rant said he boarded a street car and
| rode to Emmanuel church for the
purpose of repairing the sun burners
He denied that he was accompanied
by Blanche Lamont or anybody else.
| Upon entering the church, he said, he
left his coat and vest in the library.
obtained the necessary tools and
ascended to the gallery. A black
board was provided and Durrant
drew a rude sketch of the church
and its tall spire to illustrate the
manner in which he made the re-
pairs. He said to make the repairs
1t was necessary for him to lie at full
length on a plank which was much
lower than his feet. In this position
he inhaled SO much gas that he was
| made i'll.
EXPLAINED TO THE JURY.
To illustrate the manner in which
the gas escaped, Durrant took a
burner, descended to the jury box
and explained the construction of
the burner to the jury After re-
pairing the burner, Durrant said
that he descended to the auditorium
where he found George King playing
on the organ. King remarked that
Durrant looked pale. Durrant re-
piled that King would be in the
same condition if he had been nearly
overcome by escaping gas. At Dur
rants request King bought some
bromo seltzer, which the prisoner
drank. The medicine made him
feel better, and at o'clock he left
the church in company with King.
He went out of his way two blocks
to converse with King, after which
they separated, and Durrant went
home to dinner. Durrant said he
felt i'll, and ate but little. In the
evening he went to prayer meeting
at Emmanuel church. He saw Mrs
Noble, and asked her if Blanche
was coming to prayer meeting. Mrs
Noble replied that she did not believe
her niece would be present. He re-
lated a number of other minor Incl.
dents in connection with his con.
versation with Mrs. Noble, who evi.
IDENTIFY did not indorse his state
ments, from the fact that she shook
her head several times, At the
close of the service Durrant said he
went home and retired. g. :.
Durrant denied that on the after.
noon of April he was at the corner
