THE DURRANT TRIAL IN A MINUTE-MR.
BARNES GRAFTON

BARNES GRAFTON
District Attorney w. S. Barnes began the
States closing argument to the jury in the
trial of Theodore Durrant for the murder Of
Blanche Lamont when court opened yesterday
morning.
He continued talking until the afternoon ad-
jOurnment and will conclude his argument to-
day. 1t is thought that he viii not finish in
time TO permit the court to deliver its instruc-
tions the same day, and the chances are that
the jury will not be charged until Friday
morning.
This last proceeding will, it seems probable,
consume almost an entire day, for the charge,
as written now, covers forty-eight pages of
typewriter matter and it is not likely that
they viii be materially reduced before they are
read to the jury.
Mr.. Barnes speech was listened to most at
tentiyely and appreciatively by as large an
audience could be packed into the room.
In parts it was a brilliant effort, and as a
whole-or as much of it as was delivered yes
terday-it was most effective and interesting
argument.

He tortured her 1gith the
liRqerinq process Of strdnquLGttOn.


1t was in every sense cold-blooded, vicious
murder. 1t was without the slightest provoca-
ton or apparent excuse or palliatlon. The as
sassn chose for his victim an innocent and
helpless maiden, in years almost child, almost
q stranger in our city, simple schoolgirl tenn
porarily residing with a relative, and engaged
in the struggle to obtain an education as
teacher in the Normal School. She was un-
developed in mind, pure in life and thought,
OF simple and unsuspecting nature, and
presenting in body none OF the quail
ties which are supposed to alouse the
evil passions of the seducer and the
libertine For the scene of his dreadful assault
the murderer selected an evangelical church,
dedicated to the worship OF God, temple
where the doctrines and life OF Jesus Christ
were taught and illustrated in Sabbath
assembly, in midweek prayer-meeting and
social gathering. He took the life OF his victim,
not with the savage mercy of the quick pistol
or the silent knife, but he tortured her with
the lingering process OF strangulation, driving
his cruel fingers deep into the tender flesh OF
her slender throat, and so iercely did he do
his devils work that the stigmata of his crime
remained until the discovery of her corpse,
clearly discernlble as the cause of death, not
only by the expert surgical examiner, hut by
the most unlearned observer.

WAsHlSGToS, May 20.-Thc fact that
one Of tho supreme court justices who had
voted for the income tax law asked for
further time TO consider the case as pre-
scntea ut the second hearing has come TO
light. and this, with other circumstances
OF "A conflrmatory character, has led To a
general impression that when the opinion

tho majority Of the nine justices are OPP
posed To II In all Its details, and that the
law will bS declared unconstitutional In

II is known that the members of the
court who opposed tbs law from the be-
ginning are fairly confident Of this result,
but will not allow themselves to feel GER
tain till the final vote eshall bc ta}v9n prior
to going into court. The Justices opposed

that they are In the majority, they may
