New York, Aug. 26.--The cotton mar
tet opened steady at a decline OF a6D
points, rallied and closed very steady
at net decline OF 2GD3 points. The
Early weakness was due to the un-
satisfactory closing of the Liverpool
market, which showed n not loss OF l-2
Ill point for the day. Nervousness and
HESITATION marked the conduct of the
local market throughout the session.
Parties who have been buying for the
past few days were energetic sellers.
A frmer tone was shown soon after
he opening and shorts became alarm

WHERE BLANCHE LAMONT'S BODY WAS FOUND

timony looked for now is that upon the
handwriting of Durrant, but upon this will
hinge SO much that it is sure to be salts
flying to the most exact:ng auditor.
And as a rule the auditors are not exact
ing. They are marvels OF patience, in
truth, and are satisfied TO wait hours to
gather just word or two of sensation.
The acoustic properties of the room are
not good, and much of the testimony is
lost except to those who occupy the front
rows of the spectators benches, but the
women are happy only to be inside
A new witness for the prosecution has
been found in the person of DR.. Gilbert f.
Graham of the Cooper Medical College,
who is calculated to testify, when the time
comes, that shortly after his arrest Dur
rant asked the doctor to lend him his book
containing the notes on the lecture of DR..
Cheney, delivered at the college on the
afternoon of April 5.
This is the date that the State claims
Durrant met Blanche Lamont at the High
School, and upon which Durrant claims
he attended a lecture at the college.
The examination of witnesses, especially
the cross-examination, drags a good deal,
and this fact ripples the otherwise calm
demeanor of the court. Several times yes
terday he adverted, in one way or another,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-06

and insisted that the model be moved back
to the opposite corner.
Then Policeman raughtsman Russell
pointed his long stick at the fiat map of the
immediate neighborhood of Emmanuel
Church that hung on the wall beside Judge
Murphy and was just going to say some
thing about it when Attorney Dickinson
pointed out the fact that according to Mr..
Russell's examination yesterday the meas
urements OF the plat were inaccurate.
Judge Murphy said he thought the
measurements might have been made cor
rectly--however since they were not, it
was small matter and the plat should go
in as one of the peoples exhibits.
District Attorney Barnes then brought
out the additional information that the
mismeasurements were not those OF Mr..
Russell, but those of the official block
book, from which they have been copied.
! The diagram was admitted as an exhibit.
Then some more diagrams were tackled
upon the wall. The plan OF the basement
floor, on scale OF one inch to foot, was
the first of these. There was also a plan
of the auditorium floor one of the gallery
floor and one of the lot on which the church
building stands.
Mr.. Russell was required to explain every
detail of these plans with what was, to the
| audience, at least, most tiresome particu-
larity. But the fault was not Mr.. Rus

necessary that all this should get into the
record. Finally the work was nearly COM

THE BELFRY SCENE.
The police handled the big crowd that hung
around IN the corridors yesterday much better
than heretofore, and though the crowd was
much larger than ever, a clear passsgeway
was kept all day.
In the morning the examination Of Draughts-
man Russell was continued. He made further
explanations concerning his model of the
tower and belfry, and identified certain maps.
He was succeeded by Draughtsman McCUi-
Tough, who had made maps and diagrams for
the defense.
In the afternoon Detective Gibson told how
and where he discovered the body OF Blanche
Lamont. Saturday, midnight, the 18th OF
April, ne had gone to the church and tried to
gain en- entrance TO the belfry, but the door
thereto was locked and the knob broken off.
Early next morning he went out to the
church with officer Refill They tried many
keys to the lock- but were at last forced to

THE MORNING SESSION.
Two Ho urs Of Figures and Angles
and Maps and Models and
DIAGRAMS.


One could scarcely imagine drier and
more matter-of-fact judicial proceeding
than that which took place in Judge Muir
phys courtroom yesterday morning.
1t was disappointing to the women, but
the men nodded and slept through most
of it. The women spent the hours in
gossip, or in edging this way and that way
to secure a better view of the back of Dur
rants head.
Even Judge Murphy seemed to be bored
by the dizziness of things, and once or
twice, when Witness Russell or Attorney
Dickinson were more deliberate than ever
in making point, he remarked that 1--WE

And, in truth, things did drag very

Which was this: what is the distance
