it made one Of its strongest points In
the INTRODUCTION as a witness Of c. T.
Lenahan the young man who says ne
visited AdoIph Oppenheim's pawn-shop,
and who. IL Is claimed by the defence.
was mistaken for Durrant by the pawn
broker.
Lenahan testified to-day that he had
gone 70 the pawn-shop and offered
band-ring. with a chip-diamond. similar
to that worn by Blanche Lamont lie
had brief conversation with the pawn
broker. similar 10 that said to have been
had by Durrant. His ring was not ac-
cepted. and he left the store. going In the
same direction as that said to have been
taken by Durrant.
Lenahan testified that his visit was
on the afternoon OF April 18TH instead
OF on a morning between the 4th. and
10th. as testified to by Oppenheim. ard
he mct the pawnbroker at the door.
whereas in the other case Oppenheim was
seated inside the store reading when the
customer entered.
Lenahan WAS dressed as Durrant was
said to have been when he visited the
store.
Another point for the defence was made

cautious in making no ruling to jeopar-
die the case. should it go to the Court
of Appeals. and he to-day reversed him
self on the question Of permitting Or.
Cheney, whose lecture Durrant is alleged
to have attended. to express an opinion
as to whether Durrant was at the lecture
or not

earlier in the case. but an objection to
ii was sustained
When the lecturer was on the stand to-
day the Court made its offer TO permit
him 10 give his opinion. but the defence
refused 10 avail itself OF the opportunity.
on the ground that Or. Cheney had
practically testified that he believed Dur

he said he thought the rOll-call was cor
