 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-At the op- | enlng of the court yesterday morning | the defsuse in the Durrant case an
 noanced that 1t had finished It's case and | the taking of testimony in rebuttal at l once began by the prosecution. The testimony was the most important given during the tfial, as 1t conhicted with several vital statements made by Dur rant while he was on the stand.
 The testimony of Dr. Gilbert F. Gra- ham, for instance, Is considered by many to sweep away Durrants entire defense. Graham, who is 6 medical student and an intimate friend of Durr8nt, told of a sensational interview between himself and the prisoner at the county jail April 10th. Dr. Graham was accompanied to the prison by J. s. DunniDgam, a Dews- paper reporter, who vas asked by Dur rant to retire after he had en ttere a few moments. Graham said that after Dupningam stepped aside Durrsnt ask l., | lot of Dr. Cheney's lecture in order thEt he might compare them with his own. Graham demurred al first, after which he said that Durrsrt stated frankly to him that he had DO notes of the lecture. He said Durrant told him if he had notes of the lecture he could easily es- tabiish strong alIbi for himself and urged hIm to leave the notes with Mrs. Durrant in order that she might brlEg them to him at the prison. Dr. Gra- ham said that he refused the reqnest and never afterwards visited Durrant at the prison.
 While he was testifying Durrapt gave no sign to indicate that he considered the testimony of any importance.
 The five trustees of Emanuel church were next called. While Durrsnt was on the stand he testified he WAS asked to repair 8 sun burner at Emanuel church April 1st by the trustees. The trustees denied they had asked Durrant to make repairs of any kind at the church during March or Aprll.
 Witnesses were next called to disprove Durrant's statement that on the after noon of April 12th he was at the ferry for the purpose of searching for Blanche Lamont, who he said a mysterious stranger had told him would cross the bsy that afternoon.
 C. w. Dodge, a medical student, said he SAW Durrant at the ferry and tte prisoner told him be was waiting for a number Of mem bers of the signal corps from Oakland.
 C. A. Dukee, & medical student who Dodge, corroberated the testimony.
 A. i. Hobe, an old school mate of Durrant's, testified he saw Durrant at the ferry the same afternoon in company with 8 young woman who answered the description of Minnie Williams.
 Is is known that Minnie Williams came over from her home in Alameda that afternoon and the next day her body was found in Emanuel church. It is the theory of the prosecution that instead of beng at the ferry to look for Blanche Lamont, Durrant was there for the purpose of meeting Mics Williams and turing her to her death.
