SAN FRANCISCO April 25. 1S95.-In-
terest in the Durant case continues un-
abated. The microscope has shown that
a supposed varnish stain on the door
casing on the Rev. Gibson's study was
made by human blood. DR.. Cheney, of
Cooper College, said last night that he
had found nothing to establish Durant's
statement that he attended the lecture
on the afternoon of April 8. Drrant al
ways took notes at lectures, and was
careful N transcribing them, hence his
notebook was in great demand. 1t can
not now be found by the police, and it
is either in his own or his attorneys
possession.
DR.. Cheney believes the character of
his notes themselves would demonstrate
their genuineness. It would be -mpos-
sible, he says, for a student to write
fictitious notes of a lecture, which would
rot be inaccurate on their face. gester-
