Mr.. Barnes then took the rollbook, and,
after examining it under glass, handed it
back to the witness and asked him il the
absent marks had not been erased from the
page marked March 81 and transferred to
the page marked April g.
After considerable discussion on all
hands, Mr.. Deuprey attem pting to stay the
question, it was finally admitted by wit
ness chat the roll of April was by mistake
written on the wrong page and then trans
ferred to the proper page.
Mr. Barnes then objected to the admis-
sion OF the roll because twas not the origi-

made mistake in making the tallies and
that afterward, at DR.. Cheney s direction,
he made the correction.
Then as to testing the accuracy of the
rollbook, Mr.. Barnes claimed the right to
ask Or. Cheney what his experience had
been concerning other pupils answering
for those not present. Mr.. Deuprey most
stoutly denied the right of any such in
curry. he wanted the record to speak for
itself. The court said that the District
Attorney had certainly the right to offer
proof showing the incorrectness of the
record, If he could. But the manner in
which Mr.. Barnes couched his questions,
asking for the experience rather than the
knowledge of the witness, was not, the
court held, entirely proper
Mr.. Barnes then gave notice that at
future time he would make DR.. Cheney his
own witness. By the time this point had
been reached in the days proceedings the
hour for adjournment had come and
recess was taken till this morning.
Prior to the opening of the afternoon
session the crowds were so dense in the
corridors approaching the courtroom and
so unruly and so entirely beyond the con-
troll of the deputies and policemen in at
tendance that Judge, jurors, attorneys and
all the court officials and attaches had to
fight their way through. They entered
the courtroom with clothes wrinkled or
torn and with collars wilted and neckties
awry, painting and showing many evil
dences of the struggle they must pass
through.
When Judge Murphy finally secured an
entrance he called for the Deputy Sheriff
in charge and lectured him soundly upon
the handling of the crowd. If the Sheriff s
office could not maintain free passage to
and from the courtroom the Chief of Police
would be called upon for assistance, the
court intimated, in rather positive Ian
guage.
Juror Smyth also entered protest, re-
marking that he did not propose, in the
future, to fight his way into the court
room.

this case. 1t was l o'clock Sunday morning

The COURT will sustain the objection to the
question. The motive of the search can have
no bearing at this time, and the jury knows
the time at which 1t was made and can apply 1t.
Detective Charles J. Cody was called and
sworn. He said he recollected visit made
to the Emmanuel Church in company
with Detective Bohen and Attorneys Dick
inson and Deuprey. The visit was made
on the 18th Of April, between 80 and $50
in the afternoon.
He remembered that hammer was
founo in the pastors study in toolbox;
that the hammer was taken up to the bel
fry-door and fitted in the indentations. AS
to the chisel, he did not remember. The

Dickinson-How do you know that?
"The doors TO the pastors study were IN

church."

"Yes, sir"
At the conclusion of Sergeant Reynolds

iected.
He said only the parts of the door show
ing the indentations made by the tools
should be admitted. The door was not in
the same condition as it was when first dis
covered.
Judge Murphy overruled the objection,
and the door was admitted.
At this point Juror Smythe interrupted
the question concerning the door with a
thirst for more light on the shoe question
He asked Sergeant Reynolds whether all
the shoes found appeared to belong to the
same person.
Reynolds answered in the affirmative,
and then Sergeant Burke, who was there
when the shoes were found, was called to
the stand.
How many shoes were found?" asked Dick
inson.

The testimony offered by the defense yester-
day was mainly upon three points: Was

of Emmanuel Church? We're the marks on
the door lamb OF the belfry produced by
chisel found in the pastors study? Was Dur
rant present at Or. Cheney'S lecture on the
afternoon OF April 5?
On the first TWO points Sergeant Reynolds,
Sergeant Burke, Detective Cody and Detective
Seymour testified, with the result that Sergeant
Burke said the police had been satisfied the
stain on the shoe taken from the study by Ser
geant Reynolds was not blood, and Detective
Cody testified that one of the marks on the
door lamb was old and covered with paint,
while the other was produced by Jimmy"

after much argument on all sides the book was

witnesses, however, had any recollection OF
whether Durrant was or was not present at the
lecture and Mr.. Barnes gave notice that he
would call DR.. Cheney a peoples witness to
ask him concerning the practice of students to
answer Here" for those not present in order
TO save their credit marks.
In the afternoon the crowd in the corridors
was so dense and unruly that Judge Murphy
and the jurors and attorneys had to fairly fight
their way through it in order to gain the court
room. Judge Murphy iectured the Deputy

.'Did you enlarge the indentations by this ?''
a did not" answered the witness, after the
court had overruled Mr.. Deup,ey's objection to
the question.

Cooper Medical College, was the next wit
ness April 8, in the afternoon, commenc-
ing at 8 so and ending at Ais he lectured

TO ask some questions about the rollbook
Deuprey-We do not offer the roll in evi.

The court-But suppose the witness did not
keep the roll book himself?
Deuprey-We maintain that the rollbook Is
not in question at this time.
The court-You can ask him if he knows
whether Durrant WAS present; but unless he
kept the roll he can have no knowledge of its
correctness.

Mr.. Deuprey objected to this as calling
for the witness opinion. Judge Murphy
sustained the objection, remarking that
the jury could Judge of that for itself
"Take the chisel and see if you can fit it to
those marks"
Deuprey-We object to that
The court-The objection is overruled.
Witness Crying the chisel-The indentations

Deuprey-I move to strike out that.
The court-The motion is denied.
Mr. Barnes-Now would like to have the
gentlemen OF the jury examine these marks on
the door before we go further.
The COURTS there any objection to that?
Deuprey-We certainly object; the door is not
in the same condition.
The court-I will overru'e that objection.
The testimony is that the door is in the same
condition.
Dickinson-I understand that on the 10th of
September Mr.. Seymour and others went there
and tried the chisel in the marks
The court-Then ! should suggest that Mr..
Seymour be called first.
Deuprey-Then we want to put in proof of
how the door was torn down and removed to
condition.
The court--I will pass on that testimony
when it is offered.
Barnes-Then on my motion will call De-
tective Seymour to the stand.
Seymour was accordingly sworn. He
testified that on the 10Th he and Captain
Lees and Detective Cody went to the
church. They took the chisel with them
and fitted the chisel into the marks on the
door. All three of them did this in turn.

THE MORNING SESSION.
The Marks Were Not Made by a
Chisel, Cody Testifies-RolIoaIl
of DIR. Cheney's Lecture.

The biggest and weightiest exhibit yet
offered in the Durrant case was produced
by the defense yesterday. When the
spectators began to crowd into the court
room in the morning they found whole
life-size door frame with a practical door
swinging from it. 1t proved to be the door
and door-frame leading into the belfry of
Emmanuel Church, taken bodily from the
church and set down near the skeleton
model of the tower and belfry that stands
in the corner of Judge Murphy's court.
Officer Russell was called upon to nail
the door-frame exhibit in a standing posi-
ton by bracing it to the window casing
and then Sergeant Reynolds, who was still
on the witness-stand, opened the door,
walked through it, looked it over and
finally identified it as the door and door
way to the belfry.
Then he pointed out the hammer mark
on the doorjamb, four inches above the
lock-plate on the right side, and about two
inches from the chisel marks. Under Mr..
Dickinson's questioning the witness
pointed out all the indentations and de-
scribed them in detail. Then the witness
was asked about the shoes found in the
pastor study at l O'Clock in the morning
of April IA. This was some hours before
the body of Blanche Lamont was found in
the belfry, and the police were then work
ing on the Minnie Williams case, but this
did not appear until later on.
Witness testified that he examined the
shoes found, and that one of them was
wrapped in paper and sent to the City
Hall. He did not remember who carried
the package from the church.
Juror smythe-Did the shoes show signs of
dust or did they look as though they had been
worn recently?
Witness-I don't remember that. I didn't
notice.
Dickinson-I show you this shoe; can you
identify it?

DANGEROUS FUN.
Boys Place Pistol Cartridges on the
Streetcar Tracks.

Boys Place Pistol Cartridges on the
Streetcar Tracks.
Boys bent on mischief find q deal of
sport in placing pistol cartridges on the
car tracks, so that passing streetcars will
explode the powder. The practice is quite
common of late, and if something is not
done by the police to check it, some one
may be killed or badly wounded. Day be-
fore yesterday, on Mission street, between
Third and Fourth, one of the horses of the
United Carriage Company exploded a
bullet perforated the hoo boot Of i the the horse
which would have died from the loss of
blood if surgical assistance had not been
called.
The boys fancy that it is fine fun to see
the conductor and streetcar passengers
jump when the explosion takes place, but
the so-called fun is attended with great
danger.
