Struggle Is to Break Down les
timony of Prosecution.
THE PRISONER is TO TESTIFY
Care VIII Be Taken TO Allow the Prose-
cution No Chance to Learn
the Truth.

San Francisco, Oct 7.-On the open
ing Of the eleventh week of the Durrant
trial tomorrow the defense will make
a 6nal struggle to break down the
testimony of the prosecution, a process
which is expected to last three days
longer. A few more students will be
called to the stand, several additional
citizens will testify to Durrants ex-
cellent reputation and then the defend
ant himself will be called to the witness
stand. 1t is the intention Of the de-
Tense to have Durrant recount the his
tory OF his adventures on April from
the time he accompanied Blance La
mont to school until the hour when he
retired to rest in his fathers house. 1t
is understood that the defendants tes-
timony will be guardedly given for the
purpose of shutting off the cross-ex-
animation OF the district attorney. I'm
der the law laid down by the supreme
court a witness can not be CrOSs-eX-
amined except upon actual matters
brought out upon direct examination.
The defense intends to leave no loop
holes for the attack of the prosscu-
ton.
Naturally the subject uppermost in
Attorney Dueprey's mind was the dam
aging statement made by DR.. Gilbert
F. Graham against Durrant, which was
published today. The knowledge that
Durrant's classmate had announced his
intention to go on the witness stand
and testify that the accused had con-
fessed to him that he had no notes OF
Or. Cheney's lecture, nettled the attor-
ney not a little, although he declared
that he was confident of breaking Ora
ham down on croSS-examination
What do think of Graham's state
ment?" said Mr.. Dueprey, repeating the
question asked him. why, | am
amazed at it. l can not understand 1T,
really. I have talked with Graham and
he never mentioned such a thing to
me. Now l want to tell you something.
We have simply landed DR.. Graham in
an uncomfortable place. He says now
that Durrant told him that he had no
notes of that lecture and wanted to Dor
row his (Graham's), presumably to
copy them in order to bolster up an
alibi Now the fact of the matter is,
Durrants notes Of DR.. Cheney's lee
ture were in the possession of General
Dickinson and myself long before Ora
ham ever called at the Jail We had
them in our possession almost from the
time of Durrant's arrest. What will
DIR. Grahams testimony amount to as
against that? What need would Dur
rant have had for Graham's notes?'
During your interview with Ora
ham, did he not tell you that Durrant
had confessed that he had no notes OF
DIR. Cheney's lecture and wanted Ora
hams in order to copy them and
strengthen his alibi?'
Never in the world" replied Deu-
prey, with emphasis. He never even
intimated such a thing"
But suppose Graham goes on the
witness stand and testifies that SUCH
was the case?"
Then 1 will say that he testifes to
something which is untrue"

DEMAND CROMwELL'S RESIGNATION
Identified With the Adams Faction in
the Northern Pacific Middle.

Seattle, Oct. 6.-The statement wa
made here this evening that Genera
Counsel William Nelson CromwelPs res
ignation has been demanded by Receiver
McHenry and Bigelow and that he will
step down and out within 80 days.
The demand was made, it is said, be
cause Cromwell was identified with tn
Adams faction and this would tend to
make his services undesirable
In view of the general condition of af-
fairs, it is probable James Mcknight, who
was displaced by Cromwell, will eventu-
ally be returned to his old position.

Arid Lands for the States

washington, Nov. q. = Secretary
Hoke Smith, in his annual report, win
recommend that the Carey law grant
ing 100000 acres Of arid lands to
each state in which such lands are sit
uated be amended so that the grant
be made the state outright, and it be
made responsible for the irrigation of
the lands. Under the law as it now
stands it would be many years before
the state would receive the benefit of
the grant, and Secretary Smith be-
lieves that the state can carry out
better the intention of congress if it
gets control Of the entire grant at
once instead Of waiting until water is
secured for the lands.
