fore he left the church,
Here Durrant partly rose from his chair
and made as though he would speak. But
the court interviewed, ruling that this must
be shown by circumstances rather than by
the witness.
Third-The dramatic scene of the trial
when Mr.. Barnes brought forth the wire
figure upon which are draped the skirt
and waist of Blanche Lamont, and placed
them before the man accused of strangling
the human form that once inhabited
them.
The jurors had the curtains drawn SO
that they could see the prisoners face bet
ter as he viewed the garments. But his
face remained as impassive as ever.
And last, when Mr.. Barnes asked the
witness point blank if he had not written
a letter to his lawyers addressed in this
wise: ITO be opened in case l am con-
victed, and to be destroyed unread If / am
acquitted"
Durrant denied having written any such
letter. He did not deny 1t fiercely, but in
about the same tone as he denied having
secreted the clothing OF the murdered girl
in the rafters of the belfry.
The cross-examination will be continued

DURRANT TRIAL IN A MINUTE-ONE OF
BARNES QUESTIONS STRIKES HOME.
For another day Durrant has stood the fire of
District Attorney Barnes cross-questions and
still the end is not in sight. Some new points
were developed. but the direct testimony of
the defendant remains without material dis
credit.
new man was brought into the case, but
his name and whence he halls are wrapped in
mystery. Durrant says the man told MIN to
look for Blanche Lamont at the ferries, and
though he had never before seen this man so
interested in the dead girl, he accepted the
clew without question and started for the fer
ries without asking his informer's name.
The first bit OF feeling he has yet shown in
the trial was coming from the witness when
Barnes declared, in support of question OBJ
jeeted to, that had Durrant really been suffer
ing from the effects of gas the bromo-seltzer he
swallowed would have killed him before he
could have left the church. The charge came
suddenly, and Durrant started to rise from his
seat to say something; but he settled back
Immediately, and resumed his former impss-
sive air
Some of Barnes questions during the after
noon related to an envelope containing state
ment OF his case and addressed TO General
Dickinson and Mr.. Deuprey. The envelope,
Barnes charged, contained these words: ITO
be opened if l am convicted, and to be returned
unopened if l am not convicted" Durrant
denied any knowledge of such document.

lis it not fact that you went to the
ferry to see Minnie WilGams?" asked Mr..
Barnes.
at is not fact" said Durrant, and
there was no show of feeling in his voice
or manner.
Second-The point that Durrant pre-
scribed the wrong remedy for himself
when he was, as he says, overcome by in
haljng the gas.
Mr.. Barnes made the very most of this
point. and it awakened from Durrant the
first and only genuine show of interest he
has manifested since the trial began.
In arguing the admissibility of making
Durrant medical expert on this subject,
Mr.. Barnes declared that the witness pre-
scribed for himself remedy not an anti
dote to asphyxiation, and that the per-
scription, if taken in a large dose, when

Continuing, Farwcll described how
these securities came into existence, and
if the entire story could be related it
would prove an interesting one to stu
dents of financial investment schemes
Potter set out to control a lot Of min
ing lands. He found many owners of
majority leases of mineral property and
secured options on their portions For
instance. l owned fifty.one parts of q
lease with John Smith, who owned the
remaining forty-nine points, and you de.
sired to obtain control of the property for
time. All that would be necessary
would be to secure my interest. Potter
got options or leases on considerable land
in the Gogebic region in this way, and
formed the Gogcbic Development com.
pany, and then he started bis printing
presses. He turned out bonds and stock
by the hundreds of thousands Of dollars
worth-he could have made it hundreds
OF miilions-and there you are.
That is where the alleged value of
these securities came from. II anybody
can realize upon the paper after the fail.
ure and the probable expiration of the de-
velopment company's leases he is at lib
erty to do SO. The attorneys or the as
signees can come with their wagon and
get the papers without bothering about

Scene in the Deputies.

BRUSSELS, July 19-There was an un.
usual scene in the chamber of deputies
During the discussion of the new educa
ton bill, NJ. Burlet. the premier, said
that he pitied parents who allowed their
children to ''wallow in the slough OF
atheism" This remark brought forth a
torrent OF invectives from the socialists
against the ministers, and insulting ex
pressions passed between them and the
bench. In fact personal violence was
only averted by the hurried adjournmen.
of the session.
