Baa chrsco, Sept. flu—~11 Th Durant has anything tangible upon which to’lsssehis denial of the charge that be murdered Blanche “meat and Nicole Williams. his attorneys have failed to give satisfactory evidence of the fact. After twodays devoted to the testimony of the defense the trial was adjourned un- til next Tuesday. In the meantime, how- ever. the defense has disclosed enough to satisfy the prosecution that Durant's at- torneys are groping in the dark in the hope that something may develop within the next few days to saw the prisoner's es 0 The weakness of the defense is made more apparent at this time on amount of lha extravagant assertions that Durant's attorneys have uniformly made since the trial began. . When the prosecution was engaged in putting in its case and the situation look- ed darkest for the young Sunday school superintendent, Attorney Duprcy was ac- customed to snap his fingers and remark that he had no fears for the future of his client. “We will clear him in three minutes." said anrey, “and the public will be at a loss to understand how Durant’s name was ever connected with the case." . The same line of extravagant claims was continued when Attorney Duprey made his opening speech for the defense: “Not only will the prisoner tall with his wn lips the simple story of his life on he day that Blanche Lamont was mur- er ," said Duprcy, "but Dr. Cheney Medical college at the very hour when the WMerof Blanche Lamont is said to have to on place. Besides that, we will prove to you that Durant never tried to pawn Miss Lamont's ring at Oppenbclm's store. 0n the contrary, we will bring forward the young man who did try to pawn a ring at Oppcnhclm’s similar to the one worn by Miss Lamont." _ The Alibi Knocked Out. In view of these startling statements it was first believed that the defense might have a strong case bold in reserve which would put to a severe test the case of the prosecution. In one day, however. the case of the defense crumbled of its own weight. and today Duraut's alibi has not a leg upon which to stand. Dr. Cheney, who was expected to tell so much for the defense. was as strong a witness for the prosecution as has taken the stand during the trial. Instead of fulfilling Iluproy's statement and swearing that Durant at- tended a lecture at Cooper Medical college on April 8 he said he had no recollection of seeing the young medical strident there. The denial dumfoundod the defense. If further proof were needed on the be- lief that the defense has little to offer in refutation of tho oaso put forward by the msecution, it was furnished Friday. In- stead of placing witnesses on the stand to testify to some material facts in connec- tion with llurant‘s alibi two gasflttors were called to testify with regard to the sunburnors in tho gallcry of Emanuel church. For two hours tho crowd was bored and the jury made tired by a long series of quostious and answers relative to tho mirtutcst part of the construction of n sunburnor. Not once during the on- tlro session was the name of lilanchc lia- mont moulioncd, nor was anything said to indicate that it was not habit to collect a plumbcr's bill that was before the court instead of a murder trial. The cvldcut purpose of the examination. however, was to show that tho repairing of sunburncrs would necessarily result in the escape of a great dots! of gas. This testimony will be used to sttbsirmtinto Duv rant's statement that ho was suffering front partial asphyxiation when he came down front the church holfry. trembling and flushed, and met Organist King in the auditorium. A significant feature of the testimony of the two gasflitors was the fact that each testified that he made llli examination of tho sunburncrs in Emanuel church on Sept. ill. Tho prosecution interprets this to rrtcan the defense had nothing upon which to lines a case until the case of the people was nearly completed. Only when confronted by the actual necessity of open- ing its case it is believed that the defense made an attempt to secure witnesses to testify with regard to sunburncrs. The apparent hopelessness of his case, however, produucd no change in tho de~ manner of Durant. Day after day he sits in tho oourtrmm beside his father and mother and listens to the evidence against him without a sign of emotion. This stoi- clam on the part of the prisoner is only surpassed by that of his mothcr. Mrs. Durant cosmos to brew no cortcoptlon of the gravity of her son's situation. Attircd in waving plumes and a tailor made gown. such as a lady might wear at a matinee, she laughs and chant with her friends while the evidence that the prose» cation believes will hang her rum is being put in against him. To frcquetttors of the courtroom Mrs. llurnnt's cotrduct its alumni. as unfathoma able as that of her son. llurartt‘s father, however, looks orfruworn and gives cvl- dance of the intense rrtcrrtal strain through which he must be passing. ‘l‘raiile In [lumen illodles. fir.

[ridiculin- bor Yacht club of Connecticut was sailed on Long Island sound under circum- stances that were very interesting. ' It will be monitored that Ethel- wyna quit Thursday after making one round of aoourse of three miles to ice- ward and return and repeat. It was said than that the Yankee stopped because Hr. Field. bar, owner. was afraid to trust his boat in a wind that was blowing some lilmilesan hem-and a soa‘thatwas at least choppy. - . Mr. Field retired from the contest per- sonally, but allowed his boat to start with his crew, Mr. E. H. Ball and f the latter's brother Fred to run the boat. The gen- tlemen named did remarkably well and won the race by clever handling, although it must besaid that the opinion of Mr. Brand, expressed after the first race last Saturday that Etheiwynn was a better boat than Spruce IV. was sustained by the result and the doings of the boats dur. log the day. Spruce IV had a reef in her mainsail when the starting signals were being given, and she went over the line with it 99 seconds ahead of hithelfrynn. which carried no roof. The boats put mine spin- nakers on the run, nor did they do so at any time during the day. Balloon jibe were the only extra size bits of canvas they carried at any time on the course. .011 the first leg Etheiwynn caught upon her rival and came near going around the mark ahead, but Spruce IV was five sec- onds ahead of her. On the next leg, which wasrone of short logs and long ones for the second mark. Ethclwynn gained by her superior windward work, and when both yachts had rounded Spruce was 2 minutes 10 seconds behind. ' At this juncture Mr. Brand stood up in his boat and shock a red flag in a sort of wigwag fashion. He did not hold it up as is customarily done in making a pro- test, and the committee did not know what to make of it, especially as they had seen no (recursion for a claim of foul. Go~ ing for the home mark on the first round, Spruce l-V gained, and when the time was taken at the home polnton the first round it was Etholwynn 3:54:39 and Spruce IV 8:50:24. Spruce being then only 1 minute 45 seconds behind. The round of the second course was a good deal of a repetition of the first, inas- much as Ethelwynn was the loader all the way over. Spruce IV was only 1 minute 8 seconds behind at the first mark. how’ ever. 0n the second leg. which was the bent over again, Ethelwynn again gained, and r undcd the mark nearest to home by 1 mi into 82 seconds advantage. After thatl was once more a reach for borne, this ti o the finish, when the wind, hav- ing be ad somewhat. made the rcnchn trifle broader. As the racers came over this last leg Spruce 1V went ahead very fast, and it was apprehended by sortie spec- tators that she could overhaul the Yun- kco, but the distance that the Connecticut boat was ahead was too great to be over- come, and the Bull brothers landed th ir ship a winner by 1 minute 22 seconi s amid a din of whistles that has seldom lxvcu board on Long island sound.

War of st» People lhmsld a. Ila-dad. ~ Curcaoo, Sept. 98.,--"I‘ Texas wants a prize fight, they will have it, I say," said Mrs. Charles A. Culberscn before leaving Chicago for Texas. Mrs. Culber- son is the wife of Governor Culberson of Texas. and, with her mother, Mrs. Harris, has been spending the summer in the north. . “What’s the use in poor Charles work- lng himself to death toprevent something the whole state wants," continued Mrs. Culberson. “At least nine men out of every ten in Texas want the prize fight, and, after all, he was elected to carry out the will of the people, and the people want the fight. I.don't care what they say they want. or pretend to say, they would. every one of them, go to it. Then, think of the money it is going to coat to convene the legislature. I don't sec, anyway, why one man should have the power to decide what the rest should do. One man's judgment is no better than another’s. and I don't see why one judge's opinion is better than those of his fellow judges.” “Think of his conscience and his re~ sponslbiilty in the matter,” said Mrs. Harris. “A man must do what he thinks is right when he holds in trust an office for the people.” “That's just it,” said Mrs. Culbcrscn. “He does hold it for the people, and the people want the fight. and I say, let them have it. There is no use in his staying up nights and worrying himself to death trying to keep up public dignity." And hire. Culbertson looked as if she meant what she said and was far more concerned about the hard work and worry her husband had been obliged to undergo in order to keep his throat and convene the legislature than about any pugilists trying to sully Toxus‘ fame. “l have met a number of prominent business men from Texas this summer. " Mrs. Culberson went on, "and every one of them believe in allowing the fight to go on. and here the governor is trying to stop something the public sentiment is in favor of having. It's all foolishness, and I’ve told him so. I said. ‘You are elect- ed to carry out the will of the people, and you are not. doing it at all when you op- pose what they want.’ " Will tho hflalaiute Obey? DALLAS, Sept. Eta—While the govern- or's call for a special session of the logis- lature requesting that body to pass a law prohibiting prize fights was not entirely a surprise, yet it had the sheet of starting a fresh public discussion. The governor’s supporters were jubilant and regard a law to take immediate effect as a certainty. The opposition maintains that the requir- cd two-thirds of the members of the legis- lature will not be secured for art immediate act, but do not doubt that a law will be passed to take effect in 90 days. While taking this view the opposition are wondcring what the governor will do next}! a law to trike immediate effect is not passed. The question on all sides is, will the grivornor rest his case. on legisla- tive action? (,‘ouscrvutivo opinion insists that two of the three branches of govern- ment—tho judicial and legislatit‘o——shoilld and will sfrttlo the matter. The judiciary has spokcti, and the legislature will be heard from by Oct. 4. President Stuart. of thc FloridaAihlctlc club maintains his usual business atti- tude, and rests. as be has always done, on the legal advice of his attorneys, that he is proceeding under the law. He says: “When satisfied that tho laws of Texas guaranteed III'UICCIIHU to its citizens who iuvcst their moncy in enterprises not pro- hibitcd by law, the contract for the build» irtg was awarded, and the building is now half complatcd. Contracts involving over i,l)0t),0ll0 foot of lumber and a hundred other obligations have boon catered into. and I believe a fair minded and upright legislature will do justice to all allkc, avoiding anything like confiscation or in- terference with contracts rtunlo with a high judicial decision as a guide." The Galveston-[infirm Ncwa concludes an editorial on the situation in those words: “And now it is to be hoped that the legislature will at lcast bring the problem to sortie effective and satisfactory conclu- sion. In accomplishing this work it will the state against revolting brutalltlos of the ring; it must as fully guard against the perils of scandal of conflicts of execu- tive and judicial authorities such as that which was recently brewing. " May Doha! Culbersoh's Object. Arts'rrir, Sept. 28.—Govornor Culbor. son’s proclamation convening the legisla- ture next Tuesday to about another prize fight law was a grout surprise.
