HIS ALIBI is GONE
DURRANT'S OLD CLASSMATE
GIVES THE SNAP AWAY.
Important Conversation Between the
students Which the Prosecution Pro-
poses to Make the Most or.

San Francisco, Oct. 6-The Examiner
says: zone of the greatest sensations
In the Durrant case and one which
comes now as climax with crushing
weight upon the accused student. has
become the property of the prosecution.
Theodore Durrant not only confessed
to a classmate that he had no notes of
DR.. Cheneys lecture. but he begged his
friend to take his notes to his mother.
Mrs. Durrant, that they might be cop
led. I have no notes OF the lecture
the accused said, and I only need them
to complete my alibi.' When the stu
dent to whom Durrant made the con-
fession takes the witness stand the
crumbling fabric Of the defense will
fall. The student to whom Durrant
made the fatal acknowledgment is his
classmate and friend, DIR. Gilbert +.
Graham. 1t was not Grahams pur-
pose to tell what he knew. For the
sake of old friendship. for the memory
Of his college days with Durrant. Gra-
ham had held back a part of his story.
He had informed the police that Dur
rant had asked him for his notes. but
ne did not wish TO tell the prosecution
the whole story and repeat Durrant's
confession that he had no notes OF that
lecture. He has given to the prosecu-
ton what was sought so long In vain
He supplies, through Durrant himself.
proof that the accused student was not
at the lecture delivered by DR.. Cheney
on April s. He explains why Durrant
'quizzed' with E. F. Glazer on April TO-
He reveals his purpose In asking
Charles A. Dukes to say he saw him at
the lecture. He tells why the attorney
for the defense copied Glazer's notes in
full after they had been placed in the
custody OF the property clerk OF the
police department. He uncovers the
motive which urged him TO plead with
c. v. Cross and ask him to remember
that they had talked on the steps Of
the Cooper college until they were late
for DIR. Cheneys lecture. Graham
comes into the case as a witness Of the
greatest possible Importance to destroy
the only possible alibl which Durrant
has attempted to prove. For the sake
OF his friend. Graham held back the
most important part Of his knowledge
OF the case, but now he tells II all just
as Il occurred. In addition TO that.
ne repeats the conversation which he
had with Attorneys Dickinson and Deu-
prey OF the defense. He Informed them
of the important confession which Dur
rant made to him. Durrant made his
damaging request Of Graham when the
latter visited him in jail"

Boise. Idaho. Oct. 6.-News OF the In
dictment at Moscow OF r. $. Browne
and ]. c. Hattabaigh. two OF the lead
ing bankers OF this state. has caused
profound sensation In political and So
cial circles in Idaho's capitol. The in
dictments grew out OF investigation by
the populist board OF commissioners of
county affairs. Much rottenness has
been discovered and several very prom
inent men are implicated. Browne and
Hattabaugh. president Of the Moscow
National and Commercial banks re-
spectively. are indicted on two charges.
One indictment Is based on the fact
that John Gilstrap. ex-county treasur-
er. agreed to deposit the county funds
In the two banks II the presidents
would go on his bonds. The county
funds placed in the Commercial as
well as $4,000 belonging to the state.
were used by the Commercial and were
tied up when the bank failed. The
county funds In the Moscow National
have been withdrawn and not dollar
remains on deposit.
The second charge is embezzlement,
the parties being implicated In the Gil
strap action, in using county funds to
redeem collateral so as to save the
county from loss by the Commercial
failure. Investigation has been under
way for some time. Browne is a
nephew of Governor Mcconnell and a
republican senator In the legislature.
Hattabaugh Is one Of the prominent
democrats of the state and past grand
master of the grand lodge Of Masons
of this state.
