The Itate Chancellor his: Resign at Once

Pure Water Pink the [feature of the
Platform.
Tunnel, Sept. 97.—-'l‘he Democratic
state convention met here and chose as
their nominee for governor the chancellor
of the state, Alexander '1‘. McGlll of Buds
son county.
The convention, as compared with that
held here one week ago by the Republic-
ans, when Henry W. Grlggs was selected
as their standard bearer. was lame, al-
though there was no lack of interest in
the work to be accomplished by the gath-
cring.
Chancellor McGili's nomination was a
foregone conclusion, the fight put up by
the friends of his only opponent, cx-Con-
greesrnan Cutler, being nether feeble.
Only one ballot was required, McGili
receiving all but 143 of the bill) votes cast,
and before the vote was announced every
vote polled for Cutler was changed to
McGill, so that the honor came to the lat-
ter backed by the unanimous vote of the
delegates. ‘
Chancellor Mcf‘illl has six years to serve
in his present position. but it was said
here that there is every likelihood that he
will resign his office at once and conduct
an active caiiipalgn for the governorship.
An interesting feature of the day was
the speech of Alan L. McDermott an-
nouncing his retirement from the chair-
manship of the state committee after ten
years of service. Mr. Mchrmott denied
emphatically that thev name of the sthte

stone in the arch of llurant’s alibi has
crumbled and fallen. The witness upon
whom the attorneys for the defense do
pended most to sustain their contention
that Durant was attending a lecture at
Cooper Medical college at the hour when
Blanche Laurent was murdered gave dis-
appointing testimony.
Instead of testifying that Durant War
present at the lecture, as Attorney Duprcy
said Dr. Cheney would do, the doctor said
he had no recollection of seeing the young
medical strident.
To offset this reverse the defense gained
only one point—the admission as an ex-
hibit of the roll call back at the college, in
which Durant was recorded as present at
the lecture given on the afternoon of April
3. The prosecution holds the roll call
book in little esteem from the fact that it
will place witnesses on the stand to prove
i that Durant frcqucntly asked his class
mates to answer to his name when he was
absent, and that they complied with hi;-
request.
The crush in the corridors at the en.
trance to the court was greater than upon
any other day since the trial began. Men
and women fought for admission. while
the sheriff and a score of deputies strug-
gled as desperately“ to keep the crowd
back. At times the confusion outside was
so great that tho y‘irocoedings of the court
wore interrupted. At length Judge Murl
phy summoned the sheriff and ordered
him to cicar the corridors. if the slir‘rifi's
forccs Wore insufficient, the judge said, he
would cakl on the chief of police for a
squad of men to execute the order.
Sergeant Reynolds, the police officer
who conductcd thc search of Emanuel
church aftcr the discovery of the bodies of
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams,
was the first witncss called to the stand.
After describing the furniture and other
nrticlcs found in thc pastor's study he was
asked about the chisel marks found in the
door lcading lo the boifry.
Door and Casing In Court.

ed one of the most interesting exhibits
produced. The witness testified that the
marks corresponded in she to a chisel
found in a toolbox in Rev. John George
Gibson's study.
The witness was also asked to identify
1 a shoe supposed to have been stained with
blood which was found in um pastor’s
study. As Sergeant Reynolds did not
know to whom the shoe bclongcd Scr-
geant Burke was called, but he was also
in ignorance with regard to the ownership
of lilo Shoo.
Dr. W. Cheney of Cooper Medical coi-
icgo. who was supposed to be the main-
stay of tho doi’cfisc, was the next witness.
He said the iccluro on April 3 begun at

did not know win-ther- Durunt was pres-

effort was umdo to obtain a satisfactory
auswcr. 'l'hc witness was asked if, in a

existence of such a practice. The defense
objected to tho question on account of its
awcoping nature.
The court sustained the objection, but
