tions yesterday. Henry J. Mccoy, gen.

tian association, who was cited for con-
tempt last Monday for telling Juror Tru-
man that IL he did not hang Durrant the
people would hang him. was fined $3.50
with the alternative of five days In tho
county Jail.
During the cross examination of q wit
ness summoua1 by the defcnse the prose-
cution developed the fact that student
at Cooper Medical college who did not at-
tend the lecture delivered by DIR. Cheney
on the afternoon Of April was recorded
present on the roll call book. This testi.
mony Ia OF the greatest Importance to the
prosecution. from the fact that it shows
the unreliabllity Of the roll call book, in
which Durrant was recorded present on
tho afternoon that Blanche Lamont was
murdered.
The last sensation OF the day was an or
der made by the court committing Miss
Carrie Cunningham, a newspaper reporter
to the county jail for refusing to answer u
question. The defense desired to impeach
the testimony Of Mrs Leake, who said she
did not tell Miss Cunningham that she
saw Durrant and Miss Lamont enter
Emanuel Baptist church on the afternoon
of April 3. Miss Cunningham testified
that Mrs Lealse did not tell her what sho
had seen, but when asked to reveal the
source Of her information tho witness de-
clined to answer, An order was made
committing the witness to the county Jail
