ultimate scquittil. In the opip,on of maoy members of the local bar the counsel for the defense has opened the door for the admission of all the eyi. dence la the Williams case ct the present trial for the murder of Bian ene Lamont.
 During the examInat,on of Sergeants Reynolds ard Burke, who were called
 by the defense, questions were asked concerning shoe with a bro wn stain on
 the sole found in the pastors study. The prosecution may claim the right to demonstrate that the stain on the shoe might have resulted from walking
 around Emanuel church on the morning
 that tho mutilated body ot Minnie Williams was found. Evidence coujd then be put in showing the condition oI
 the room where the murder was com.
 mitted ani the possibility of p6rsor entering it getting blood on the feet
 The defence will fight any proposition
 that has for it's object getting before the
 present jury any fact regarding the
 Williams murder. The district attorney says he is satisfied he has put on very strong case and does not like to take the chance ot introducing testimony that might be declared irrelevant by the supreme court.
 The defeuss does not seem to rely as
 much on the alibi now as it did few days age, and their efforts arc now be- ing devoted to an attempt to find flaws in the prosecution. Not one Of Durrants seventy nVo classmates will step to the
 front Rnd say the accused attended Dr. Chensy'5 lecture of April Sd. If ne was
 there every member of the class would know t and dozens would appear and
 tell of little incidents that happened during the lecture whereby the presence of the accused was impressed on their
 mind.
 The simple fact that nobody recollects his presence is proof positive to the pros ecut;on that he was absent. If General Dickinson fails 10 put the students on
 the stand Mir. Barnes will call them in rebuttal, and although their testimony
 to the effect that they do not know whether or not the defendant was at
 the lecture will be negative in character it will thoroughly dissipets from the
 minds of the jurors any impression that
 the introduction of the roll call might have.
 In rebUttal the district attorney will
 attack the roll book, and will by great
 many witnesses show the careless way
 D which the record of attendance at the
 college Is kept. It will be shown that. hardly student has not, at some time or another bad the roll fsleified by his classmGte answering for him.
 Durrart's hope now rests on the ability of his lawyers to so manipulate proceed ings us 10 create doubt in the mind of 6 juror, so ss to secure disagreement. He can build on nothing more substan- tial, and 1t seems impossible at present writing that he csn expect an acquittal.
 Mrs. G. MoDpier, wife Of French liquor dealer, says that on the afternoon of hpr;l Sd she saw Theodore Durrant enter Emmanuel church. He was alone. Mrs. Mopnier says she was on her way to her dressmsker's that day. lnvestI- gation proves that Mrs. Monnier not only dld not see Durrant enter the church but that she never saw him un- til the trial commenced. It is believed her mind is disarrarged.
 Mre. G. Monnier, however, still insists that she saw Theodore Durrant on Bart lett street, almost in front of Mrs. Caro- line Leaks window, on the afternoon of April 3d. She has visited the court room since the beginning of the trial and has satisfied her own mind that DurFant Is the man she saw.
