Sari FBAIOMO. Oct. tan—After gather-
ing up a few ragged ends of the testimony
leftover from last week the defense in
the Durant case began the building of an
alibi for the young medical student from
April 4 up to April 12 inclusive. 'l‘he pur-
pose of the alibi is to'impcacb the touti-
mony of Pawnbroker Oppenhcim and W.
J. Phillips. who testified that on April
12 Durant tried to pawn Blanche La-
mont's ring at Oppenheim’s store.
During the course of the testimony,
which endured Durant's movements on
April 4 and ii. a struggle was precipitated
between District Attorney Barnes and the
defense, who again challenged the reliu~
bility of a roll call book at the Cooper col-
lege. The argument resulted in a victory
for the defense so far as the question be
fore the court was concerned, as Judge
Murphy sustained an objection to a ques-
tion propounded by himself to the wit.
nose and cut off the discussion.
The day began with a sensation, which
was quite as unexpected to tho prosecu-
tion as to the defense. Juror i. J. Tru-
man informed the court that last Thurs-
day during the noon recess of the court
he was approached by H. J. McCoy, gon-
crnl secretary of the Young Men's Chris-
. tlan association. who endeavored to draw
him into a conversation on the subject of
the trial.
“if you do not hang Durant, ” said Mc-
Coy to the juror. “We will hang you."
The court said the offense lmrdcrod
strongly on a crlrno and cited McCoy to
appear in court on Oct. 3 and show cause
why he should not be punished for coil-
tempt.
Ii. W. Maitlnnd, the electrician who
testified last week with regard to the con-
struction of the sophomore in Emanuel
church, was the first mllod. ’l‘ho testimo-
ny was of tho earns nature as that given
last Week and was intended to show the
liability of the cvstuopo of gas under certain
conditions.
Oppenheim‘e Testimony Asesiiad.
The assault on Pawubrokcr Opport-
hcim‘s tostimony then began. The do.
fensc called to the stand four witnesses.
by whom it was proposed to test the accu-
racy of the pawnbroker’s memory.
Marvin Curtis, William Cnthvart. P. J.
Numann and Leonard Everett. members
of the national guard and the signal corps
to which Durant belonged, testified that
they had taken various articles of jewelry
to Opponhcim's store and attempted to
pawn thorn. They described the manner
in which they wore dressed at the time.
Tile descriptions in runny instances did
not correspond with tho descriptions given
by ()ppcnhclm when he was asked to tell
how the men who tried to pawn the urti-
cics were dressed. Each of this four wit
nossos said ho had subscribed money to
assist in the defense of Durant.
The next slop was made to impeach the
testimony of David (Ilark, the witness
who assisted Attorney Quinlan to fix ihu
date upon ”which he saw Durant and
Blanche Lamont walking toward Emanuel
church.
John Potion. i'utrick hiulvnnoy and M.
J. Murphy said that ('Iork's reputation
for truth and irliogriry was bad. (in cross
examination Mulvunoy and Murphy said
they were prjudicucrl against ('lark from
tho fact that they bad business troublos
with his father. 'l‘ho district ,nttoruoy
asked that the testimony bo stricken out,
but the motion was dr-nlvrl by the court.
The building of Duraut's alibi in com
trudiction of the charge made by Pawn-
brokor ()ppvnhvim was bourlrl with the
testimony of ilr. A. \l'. liuilmlr, u lecturer
at (helper Mmiil‘ui college. When asked if
Durant was pron-lit at the lecture given
on the morning: of April l. the doctor ro-
fcrrod to tho roll mil lmok and said that
tho defonduut was recorded as prcsl-nt.
(in cross exllminrltioll ho said that he
had no personal knowledge of llurant's
absence or prlrsr-rlcc. 'i‘llo dcfolluo tried to
offset this by asking if he could give the
nnmo of any of the .31 students in thociass
who nth-ruled lilo ioctllro on the morning
in question. ’l‘hodoctor rccnllcdthc memos
of a dozen students and said he boiiovml
he could rvnlomlmr more if he Wcrc given
time to think the nmttcr ovur.
Judge Rules Out His Own Question.
The prlisocution mun. attacked tho roll-
ahility of the roll call. lioforo tho district
attorney had hardly reached the point of
the subject, hoWovor, Judge Murphy trmk
a hand in tho emullnation. He asked the
witness whether in his experience as an
instructor at the college ho had known in-
staucos where students had auswcrml at
roll call for others who Wt'ro not present.
Thedofeusontour-o interposed all objec-
tion, and the court was placed in tho pro-
dlcnulvrlt of having to rule on its own
question.
Tho judge said rhlltwllilo he might pet'-
mit tho question to be viillerIii‘t'li if it
should corllo from n pmpcr source be
Would sustain the objection for tho pros-
cnt. 'l‘hcn District Attorney [lorries usk‘
ed the sumo question, and the defense in-
tcrposud another objection. Attornl'y
Dickinson argued that while it was porno»
bin to call Into court every student who
nttcmb-d the lecture rind ilHk ouch "no if
he had answered the roll call for Durant
it would be unfair to cast srlnplclon on the
particular roll call in question by any
practice or custom that might have occur-
red at another thus. The court said that
it believer! tho question pmpor and the
evidence sought competent. but for the
sake of safety be sustained lilo «injection.
With Durortt'a whereabout on the
morning of April 4 the defense attempted
to show where the defendant was the next
day. George A. Merrill. an instructor at
the Link School of Mechanical Arte, said
that Durant called upon him at if o'clock
of the foreman of April b. When asked
if Durant made known the object n his
call, he replied' the affirmative. bu was
not permitted tell what Durant said.
Before the court adjourned Attorney
Dickinson called the attention of the court
to the large number of threatening letters
that ware being received by himself and
Attorney Duproy and asked that the
jurors be instructed to turn such letters
over to the court should they receive any.
The Judge received a great many letters
of the same lrlnd.

tempted to take her into custody. Several
days ago one of the women under treat-
ment at the State hospital escaped, and a
reward was adored for her return. While
the Vassar student referred to was taking
an afternoon stroll near Vassar hospital
the superintendent of streets, Mr. Ackioy,

“Bay. " he asked. “is that female ply
ticnt who escaped the other day still at

“ Yes,” replied a voice at the other end.
“All right. I'll have her up there in a
little while." .
Ackley rushed out, and summoning a
man named McLaughlin to help him,
started for the unoffending Vassar girl.
She was so alarmed by the strange ac
tions of the two men that she ran scream-
ing to the house of Michael Smith. a
florist, in Livingston strwt.
Acklcy and McLaughlin followed her,
but they soon saw that the Vassar stu-

Alums, Oct. ii.-In compliance with
the proclamation issued by Governor Univ

city on Oct. i‘to take action on the prize
fight question-which has been agitated by
the proposed Crlrbctt-h'itzslmmous mill at
Dallas on Oct. 81 aquornrn of both houses
responded to roll call and were in working
phape within 30 minutes.
A message from Governor Culborson
was promptly received. The governor crin-
flned himself solely to thcprizc fight ques-
tion and reviewed at length the situation
which has made the calling of tho legisla-
ture necessary. He said he rogrcttedtbut
he had to call the anions together, but'
that this question was being wrangled
over ill the courts, and be deemed it adv
visable to stop further discussion by hav-
ing the legislature cnacta low that would
be clear and specific on this subject, and
he desired it to go into immcdlatc edoct.
His lucssrlge concluded as follows. after a
careful review of the condition of the laws
ill other states:
”So in this instance, if no law exists.
the state docs not give ally assurance or
come under any obligation that its legls~
lation upon this subject will remain unv
changed, but these principles need not be
herein invoked. iiy proclamation nil per-
sons have been given notice that this or-
hibition would not be permitted, and
whatever has been done by its projectors
was with full responsibility for the conse-
