The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1895-09-26

Ming 3 ulnner time, Durrant walked
with him part Of the distance, then
Durrant returned home, meeting lady
on the way, to whom he said the gas
made him sick. After dinner he went
to the church to an evening entertain
ment. This will be the simple story of
the defendant. He will be corrobora ted
by those who know him we'll and who
will give reasons why these statements
are correct.
I'VE will then turn our attention to
some evidence found in the church. We
will show that the marks upon the
bslfry door are the marks OF q chisel
and that the chisel was found in the
pastors study in tool box. We will
show you, as long as they have intro
ducea paper here with letters on it as
compared with letters found in Emanuel
church, that they are letters written by
Rev. John George Gibson. III we are to
act upon suspicion we will show you
that there are others who have been
cast Into suspicion and worse than the
defendant
I'VE will show that on April 8 Dur.
ront wore dark suit Of clothes of blue
cloth, while the witness VOCAL said he
had light trousers. We will show that
the eyesight Of Mrs. Leake and Mrs
Crossett are impaired and that the
reputation OF Witnesses Quinlan, Op-
penheim and Phillips for veracity is
bad.
IF we can prove what we have out
lined we should have the spirit OF
Blanche Lamont call upon you to realize
the truth, and if her spirit could come
before you 1t would say: Let the de-
fendant stand out, let him be free, for
he harmed me not Theodore Durrant
Ia innocent; we stand for his life; we
demand his liberty"
After recess, Mrs. Matilda Durrant,
mother OF the prisoner, took the stand,
The family came here in December,
1879 She detailed the childhood of the
prisoner and his education at various
schools. During vacations he worked
at various occupations. He had money
in the bank
She testified that on the morning of
April her son was dressed in q blue
cheviot suit; that her son returned home
that evening" shortly after o'clock,
dressed in the same blue cheviot suit.
He wore no overcoat
When Theodore left home on the
morning OF April g. he kissed his mother
goodbye and saluted her in the same
manner when he returned at night. The
family dined that evening at G:l5, but
the witness said Theodore had little
appetite and he did not look we'll Ats
o'clock that evening he took his mother
to street car and when she returned at
11:30 he WAS in be ID asleep
Police Sergeant Reynolds described
the chise] marks on the belfry door. He
searched for tool with which the mark
might have boon made and in the pas
tors study found q chisel which fitted
the m arks exactly.

PARIS, FRANCE, Dec. 18.-The Bourse
here was somewhat affected to-day by the
message of President Cleveland to the
American Congress on the Venezuela
British Guiana boundary question. While
IL was not regarded by operators that war
would Aesult between the United States
and England, but rather that England
would save her dignity without extreme
measures being resorted to, it was thought,
nevertheless, that the friction between the
two countries would produce regrettable
consequences.
ROME, ITALY, Dec. 1S.-Some alarm

Crespo Preparing Letter of Thanks
to Cleveland.

NEW YORK, N. y, Dec. 1S.-The
Herald's special cable from Caracas, Vene-
zuela, says:
President Crespo was interviewed yes
terday upon Mr.. Cleveland's message
transmitted to the United States Congress
with the Anglo Venezuelan correspond
ence. Crespo said that he was preparing a
personal letter of thanks to President
Cleveland. He added:
''The attitude of Venezuela and of her ex-
ecutive head upon the boundary question
in Guiana will always be one of self-pro-
lection. The republic will uphold rights
that properly may be regarded as hers at
all hazards. President Cleveland and my
self were both as one in losing and regain
ing power, and certainly it seems as if we
were one in destiny and in act ion."

UPHOLDS GREAT BRITAIN.
Comments of the Cologne Gazette
Upon the Message.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Dec. 1S.-The Co.
logne Gazette. discussing Cleveland's mes
sage to Congress, says: Against preten-
sions of this kind all of the European
states will stand by England, for it is a
question to be decided once and for all
whether the neutrality-suspicious. of the United
States shall be recognized or European
civilization subordinated to North Amer
lean civilization On the American conti-
nent. Great Britain, has the fullest moral
and material right to persist defiantly in a
conflict so passionately initiated.
The message is heartily inaorsed by the
United States embassy here. The author
tiles of the embassy applaud Mr.. Cleve-
lands frmness, but will not talk any fur
ther on the subject y 81:
President Cleveland's full message has
not yet been printed in Germany.
The Vossiche Zeitung, in commenting
on President Cleveland's message on the
Venezuelan question, says that the Presi-
dents sharp tone against England and his
emphasizing the Monroe doctrine will at
tract the attention OF other powers.
The National Zeitung says: "Rudeness
toward unliked countries is the rule when
Presidents seek office AS the Washing
ton Government claims exclusive rights in
the matter of arbitrating American affairs,
the whole arbitration claim becomes a
pure farce, as is also the demarcation
commission"
The Boursen Courier says that England
first haughtily treated the Alabama
claims, but was afterward obliged to ac-
eept arbitration on the question, and that
established precedent.
The Boursen Zeitung says: president
Cleveland's S answer leaves nothing to be
desired in its outspokenness. j England
will begin to comprehend that America is
no longer field for English expansion.
Mr.. Cleveland appears to intend purposely
to offend other powers, put it must be re-
membered that the elections in the United
States are near
The Lokal Anzeiger says that the Presi-
dents message is purposely aggressive,
and will make a friendly solution of the
question harder, than ever.
The Freissinige Zeitung says President
Clevelands aggressive tone is hardly
credible. 1t seems to serious politicians
like playing with fire. The paper con-
cludes by expressing the hope that such a
trifie as the dispute between Great Britain
and the United States in relation to the
Venezuela-Guia boundary will not lead
to war between the aforementioned two
countries
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-19

and more dignifed to inform the United
States that the commission will be'entirely
disregarded bv Great Britain. Any at
tempt to enforce its report within Guiana
would be as much an act OF war as the IN
vasiono of Kent 49,
The Daily News, in an editorial, Will re-
view past disputes between the united
States and England, which for the moment
looked serious enough, but with sense and
good temper both sides came to an agree
ment on peaceful and friendly terms.
The Standard tomorrow Will say 1t is
apparent that the war-fever in the United
States is among politicians, and instances
Mr.. Chandler's dill. 1t continues:
"While the fit lasts we must expect to
deal with grandiose talk and must not be
surprised at the PRONUNCIATION OF the most
ridiculous plans; but We have en- abiding
faith in the good sense of the American
people, and feel sure that when they come
to review the facts calmly they will be pre-
pared to admit that Mr.. Cleveland has al
together overdone his part. 1t is plain to
them that we must appeal against the mis-
representation of the sentiments by the
executive The amazing demands which
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney ask Congress
to indorse constitute an attempted out
rage on the law of the nations which the
whole world is bound TO repudiate."
The paper lengthily discusses Mr.. Olney S
dispatch, reasserts the strength of the
English position and concludes as follows:
Ave fail to find a shadow of excuse for
an act of astounding and utterly unpro-
voked unfriendliness. Even flour case were
less strong it would be startling-indeed
shocking-to find the head of the Alneri-
can Republic plunging with so much
levity into a position from which one side
or the other must recede with some
humiliation: but that in the actual
circumstances Mr.. Cleveland should
employ language recommending action
that savors of readiness to commit Eng
land and the United States to fratricidal
conflict seems to us little short of a grave
crime. This is how it strikes everybody,
without distinction of party, in this coun.
try. We feel pretty confident that such
Will be the final opinion of the great bulk
of the American people"
The Chronicle says: "Had the contro-
versy arisen between Great Britain and a
European power it would by now have
- borne consequences of the most serious
character. But we and the United States
are brethren, and family quarrels have
often kindled quick fame and ended in
sudden tenderness. Therefore we do not
and will not assume that President Cleye-
lands message has produced any more
than passing impression.
"Above all we will not contemplate the
iniquity of war between England and
America. 1t is a thing that civilization
would not envisage. 1t horrifies even
cooler hostile observers. The foreign press
examines the dispatches and finds nothing
absolutely precluding an amicable settle
ment."

CLEVELAND AT FAULT.
Leading French Papers Are Disposed
to Criticize

PARIS, FRANCE, Dec. 18.-The Paris re-
preventative of the United Press to-day
obtained an interview with ex-Premier
Goblet. in which the ex-Prime Minister
said with reference to President Cleve-
lands message to the Uniled States Con-
gress regarding the Venezuelan dispute
that he considered the Presidents preten-
sions absolutely novel in the annals of
diplomacy. On the other hand he ex-
pressed regret that England had refused to
submit the boundary question to arbitra-
ton.
During my ministry" said Goblet,
"France gave an example by submitting
her dispute with Holland, regarding
French Guiana, to the arbitration of
Russia, and accepting without hesitation
the decision, which was adverse to her.
''As regards the Monroe. doctrine" con-
tinued the ex-Premier, "I can only saw
that it appears to be absolutely unaccept-
able to Europeans"
NJ. Luclen Millevois, formerly member
of the Chamber of DeputieS, has an article

COMMENT IN CANADA.
The Message Denounced as PoIiti-
cal Device.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Dec. 18.-Com-
menting on President Cleveland's message
to Congress on the Venezuelan question,
the Mail says: $40 declare that the Mon
roe doctrine is an authority upon this con-
tinent is one thing, to exercise jurisdic-
tion under it upon soil that is held to be
British is another. Congress may well
hesitate to take so serious a step. The
commission, however, is a very good de-
vice, from Mr.. Cleveland's point of view
which is evidently that of the politician
who is out for votes. 1t would probably
be long before the commission could re-
port, but in the meantime Mr.. Cleveland
firm vindication of the doctrine would be
winning votes for his third term election.
We may be sure, however, that whoever
wins or loses in that election, not foot OF
British territory will be transferred to a
foreign flag by any ruling of their
buster and the Monroe doctrine"
The World says: ''If the President is
acting from what he considers patriotic
motives alone then his message is TO be
dealt with in a serious aspect. But if he
is simply trying to boom himself for a
third term his conduct will be discounte-
nanced by the Republican party even
more rapidly than by the British Govern
ment. Before, therefore, expressing an
opinion on what the document really
means the world at large will require to
know what the Presidents aspirations are
in regard to his successor. That can be
learned by watching the political develop.
ments within the United States during
the next few days rather than by regard
ing what the people of England and else
where may think of it."
The Globe makes no comment.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Dec. IS. The
Star. under the caption "Why There
Will Be No War; says: IF the cheap
fustian. of politicians should appear likely
to entice the overbusy American people
unthinkingly into war, it will only be nee.
essary to shake in their faces the pension
charges, which are still increasing, though
the local unpleasantness of the eos is
now thirty years below the horizon"
The Gazette says: Lord Salisbury firm
statement of his case shows that Great
Britain will not be moved from the course
she has marked out for herself in defense
of her subjects rights. President Cleve.
lands position is a new one in the history
of diplomacy. 1t is not warranted by in.
ternational law. 1t is not backed by good
sense. 1t is not even justified by that
much talked = of and little understood
thing, the Monroe doctrine"
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Dec. 18.-The Citi-
zen Government organ) says: President
Cleveland is apparently willing to run the
risk of war with EnpIand in supporf n,
monstrous and unjustifable claims for the
purpose of appealing on the eve of an elec.
tion contest to the baser elements of the
population of the United States."
The Gazette says: "Of course, if the
Americans want war with England, then
war it must be-a great crime for those
who promote it, the enormity of which is
made absolutely clear by the fimsiness oi
their pretended claims in equity and
Justice"

weston, Tex, Dec. 1S.-The general topic
of discussion here in official and business
circles is the message of President Cleve-
land on the Venezuelan boundary.
Outside the English colony, who regard
the message as a mere threat, the reception
of its Interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine is enthusiastic. General Mitre says
that he has always been in hearty accord
with the principle enunciated in the doc

that the same view is held by the acting
