DURRANT'S TURN SOON
DEFENSE IN THE FAMOUS MURDER
CASE TO HAVE ITS INNING.
Prosecution May Conclude Introduce
ton of Evidence ON Monday-An
Incident OF the Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-The main
case against Theodore Durrant is in. There
are some odds and ends of evidence to prop
the carefully built structure of circum-
stances, but to all intents and purposes the
prosecution has had it's day. After Open
helm, the pawnbroker, had told how Dur
rant came to him to pawn one of Blanche
Lamont's rings; after Sademan, the janitor,
had said that the gas fixtures which Dur
rant asserted he had been fixing on that
fateful day, needed no fixing whatever;
after the long line of witnesses had taken
the prisoner right up to the church door;
after the prosecution had done it's best to
hang the man they consider the criminal

OF just exactly how he expects to save the

Conviction circumstantial evidence

and his famous detective insist they will
place him.

cross-examination was uncompleted yester-
day. will be the first witness He will
be followed by Phillips, cigarmaker who
says he saw Durrant coming out of OPP

he had declined to buy Blanche Lamont's
ring. That will be practically all of the
case of the prosecution although some of
Durrant's fellow-studenfs at Cooper Medi-
cal College may be placed on the stand to
show that the body of the dead girl was
laid out in the belfry Of Emanuel Church
