became discouraged and upr0oted from

trees TO give the ground to other crops.

San Francisco, Ootober. 30.-The session
of the Durrant trial yesterday afternoon
was enliyened by the fact that Eugene
N. Duprev, who has been confined to his
bed for couple of weeks with a para
lvtio stroke, was wheeled into court to
make his address before the jury.
Duprey's physician accompanied him
and administered stimulants at intervals
while he spoke.
The counsel opened with the statement
that he believed great wrong had been
done to his client. DR.. Cheney had, he
said, vindicated the promise the de-
Tense gave in opening that he would tes-
tify that he believed Durrant was present
at the college lecture on the afternoon
of the murder. There was not only the
lecturers testimony as to this but the
defendants statement, and his notes
fortified it. The evidence these afforded
ad not been broken down by anything
the prosecution had presented.
He attacked the testimony of the iden-
tifying witnesses on their time and liabil-
ity to error. He denied that there was
enough evidence against the defendant
to deprive him of his liberty, much less
of his life or that the jury, as law abid-
ing citizens could accept the evidence as
convincing enough to point to the defen-
danu as crimson. He referred to Dur
rants alleged consistency in statements
he r hn frip
and other things connected with his
movements as strong proof in favor OF
his innocence, which could not be ig-
nored. Durrant, he said, had shown him
self to be friend of the family and OF
the dead girl, and he was as anxious
as anybody that light should be thrown
on the murder.
Counsel did not believe Rev. DR.. Glib
son had anything to do with the murder,
neither did he believe that Durrant had,
but had Gibson been arrested for it there
was enough mute evidence in the church,
in his opinion, to make it difficult for
him to clear himself. Had he been in
such a position and made no better
showing on the stand than he did when
testifying in this case, counsels, would
have thought his cause would have been
hopeless.

danger of receiving cirournstantial evi.
dence too freely. Human instruments OF
torture, he said, would tbe inadequate
punishment for the murderer of blanche
Lamont. but he challenged the prosou-
ton to show that his client was the man.
The prosecution, .heIsaid, had proved only
two things that Durrant was in the
girls company on the morning of April
3 and in the church Oh that afternoon. I
He closed with a panegyric on mother
love and made an appeal to the jury fol-
the defendant's mother who, with his
father, had sat beside him every day since
the trial began
Mr.. Duprey's closing words were: eve
hope you will say to this mother that he1
boy is the same as he ever was, an hon
orable gentleman. 4
