We have now got through with the rollcall
ana all these witnesses as to Identification and
we come to the gate of the church. From that
time all Is inference, onjecture and deduc-
ton. l submit that this unfortunate young
woman was never killed by one man. It took
two 10 accomplish the deed. Not only this, but
1t took more than one man to carry the body
up into the belfry, TO disrobe it and to scatter
the clothing round the church as the testi-
mony shows it was. 1t would have been a
physical lmpossiblllty Tor one man alone to
have done it, In conclusion, 1 desire again to
call your attention TO the rollcall, which is. in
my Judgment, the pivotal point in this case.
In leaving this case with you l ask you to con-
slider carefully the good character of the
defendant, which stands before you unim-
peached except by the suspicion which this
testimony has thrown upon him.
Durrdnts conduct has been
natural throughout all.
There is no particle of evidence to show that
ut any time he changed his character for O.
moment. His conduct has been entirely
natural throughout this entire trial, and since
he was arrested. What motive could he have
for doing such an act? What motive for wreck
ing his life, his home and his future? None
has been shown, none has been disclosed, none
can be produced from this testimony or de-
duced from it in any way. There is no malice
shown which is necessary to constitute the
crime OF murder, unless there be some evidence
young man who was helping himself along in
life, getting up at O'Clock in the morning,
the young man who enjoys the good opinion
of those who have known him for years of
those who have taught him in school-this is
an element of great and vital importance when
you come to consider the probabilities and pos
sibilities OF whether the defendant could have
done this or not
''Do by him as you mould ,uish
to be done By"
ask you carefully to consider all these
matters. Do by hi as you would wish to be
done by, or to have yours done by under
similar circumstances. Be careful not to be
swayed by public opinion or public prints
Let the case be decided on the evidence which
has been presented and we will be satisfied
with the result, no matter which way 1t NAV
turn We believe that we are right, we believe
that we are innocent, and we believe that the
prosecution has failed absolutely and entirely
to prove its case. We have made our fight, and
now we leave the matter in your hands, conf
dent you will do that which is right and that
it will lead to the restoration of this defendant
to his family to his pursuits, and again open
the future to him, bright and rosy as II was
when these suspicious fell upon him.

DEUPREY'S APPEAL.

DEUPREY'S APPEAL.
Mr.. Deuprey's imprisoned appeal to the
jury in behalf OF Theodore Durrant, charged
with the murder of Blanche Lamont, was the
sensation of the trial in court yesterday.
4 bowling mob, through which Judge Muir
ply and the jurors and lawyers and attaches
of the court had TO light their way before they
could gain admission, was the sensation of the
day outside of court.
The mob took possession of the corridors,
overpowering the police and Sherif's men just
before the noon session began. Juror Seiber-
Itch narrowly escaped with his life, and Judge
Murphy was so hard pressed by the mob that
he turned and banged them over the head with
his big note book. 1t was O disgraceful scene
throughout.
Mr.. Deuprey was carried into court in pill
lowed chair in the afternoon, and without ris-
ing made a most dramatic and emotional ap-
peal for his client. He reiterated the insinua-
tons against Pastor Gibson, claiming that he
might easily have been on trial for the crime
instead OF Durrant.
The morning session was occupied by the
conclusion of Mr.. Dickinson's argument for
Durrant. This morning Mr.. Barnes viii begin
the closing argument for the people.

claim that we have proved by satisfactory
means that Durrant went from the college at
4:10, took the Sutter-street car, changed to
Polk, changed again, and arrived at the church
at 400. He went into the library, took out
his p1ncers, or whatever the small instrument
was with which he fixed the burners, and went

You may wonder how we can afford to

carved, standing six feet high, with mas

wide, cap on footboard three and one-half
inches broad, and polished like a mirror,
for $13 So Under ordinary circumstances
we could not afford to do it; but we have
number of such beds out of suits where the
bureaus have been sold, and to get rid of
them we have made these remarkably low
prices, which mean so much for you.
