The Defense Will Probably Attempt to Pick Enough Flaws In the Testimony Presented by the Prosecution to Cause the Jury to Disagree. daily papers here publishes an interview with Theodore Durant, in which the pris. oner expressed his disgust at the witnesses who had testified for the prosecution. “I wonder the-fate of Ananias and Sap. phira has not overtaken some of them,” he is quoted as saying. “It is strange to me that they have not been struck dead forlwhat they have said against me on the stand.” ' Durant expresses confidence at his ultimate acquittal. In the opinion of many members of the local bar the counsel for the defense has Opened a door for the admission of all the evidence in the Williams case at the pres- ent trial for the murder of Blanche La- mont.

THE POLITICAL ARENA. llaile Will Not Be a. Candidate For the ' Massachusetts §overnorship. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 30.—Ex- Lieutenant Governor William H. Haile has effectually put a. damper upon the at- teinpt of some of his friends in the Re- publican party to bring his name before the convention as a candidate for governor of the state of. Massachusetts by the fol- lowing statement, which he gave to a re- porter today: “Ilearn by way of the news« papers that there was a meeting in Boston yesterday of the anti-Greenhalge delegates to the Republican state convention, and that it was voted to support William H. 'Haile as their candidate for governor. study. The prosecution may claim the 3 right to demonstrate that the stain on the - shoe might have resulted from walking around Emanuel church on the morning the murdered body of Minnie Williams. was found. Evidence could then be put in showing the condition of the room where he murder was committed and the possi- bility of a person entering it getting blood on the feet. The prosecution will fight any proposi- tion that has for its object the setting be- fore the jury of any fact regarding the Williams murder. The district attorney .

"I am not a candidate, have not been a candidate and will not be a candidate. Is . this not sufficiently explicit? “One cannot be inscnsible to the kind- ness which finds its expression in‘ the de- sire of so many friends to give me their support in the coming state convention. I am not ungrateful tothose who would give me this evidence of their good will, but at the same time I am not blinded to what seems to me to be for the best inter- ests of the Republican party. It seems to me that Governor Greenhalge has deserved an expression of the full confidence of the Republican party, and that the best inter- ests of the state and party will be served if his ronominatiOn is made as nearly; unanimous as possible. To this end I shall be glad to contribute in any way I can.” New's Statement About Harrison. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 30.—Colonel New . was asked yesterday if What he had said relating to General Harrison and the pres- idency were by authority and said: “In . conversation about the reports and stories says he is satisfied he has put in a very ‘- strong case and does not like to take the chance of introducing the testimony that may be declared irrelevant by the supreme court. The Alibi Abandoned. The defense does not seem to rely so much upon the alibi now as it did a few days ago, and their efforts are now being devoted to an attempt to find flaws in the prosecution. Not one of Durant’s 75 published in newspapers purporting to say that some friends of General Harrison were making combinations with friends of Mr. McKinley or Mr. Reed, etc., as to the canvas in 1896, a good many terms of that character appearing lately, I said, upon my own authority and not in any way - - check, and it is only a matter of afew claiming to speak for or to represent Gen- eral Harrison, that all such stories were fakes; that he was not seeking the nomi- nation for president, and that he would en- ; ter into no combination with Mr. McKin- classma-tes will step to the front and say 2 Durant attended Dr. Cheney’s lecture on April 3. If he was there, every member of the class would know it, and dozens would appear and tell of many incidents that happened during the lecture whereby the presence of the accused was impressed on their minds. The simple fact that nobody recollects his presence is ‘proof positive, the prosecuting attorney thinks, that'he was absent. If General Dickinson fails to put the students on the stand, Mr. Barnes will call them in rebuttal, and, although their testimony to the effect that they do not know whether or not the defendant was at the lecture will ,be negative in charac- ter, it will thoroughly dissipate from the minds of the jury any impression that the introduction of the roll call might have. In rebuttal the district attorney will at- tack the roll book and will by a great many witnesses show the careless way in which the record Of attendance at the col- lege was kept. It will be shown that hardly a student has not at some time or another had the roll falsified by his class- mates answering for him. Durant‘s hopes now rest on the ability of his lawyers to so manipulate proceed- ings as to create a doubt in the mind of a juror so as to secure a disagreement. He and black \Vltll colored COHI- 3 can build on nothing more substantial, and it seems impossible at the present writing that he can expect ‘an acquittal. It is not generally known that Durrant must stand a second trial for murder at the end of his present ordeal. Whether found guilty or innocent in the case at bar he will have to make another fight for his life. If he is found guilty on the charge of murdering Blanche. Lamont, i the case 'will go to the supreme'court. i Meantime the state does not intend to slumber until the evidence in the Williams case is weakened by time, deaths, the re- moval of witnesses and other causes. So Durant will be tried again within a rea- sonable time, just as if the Lamont case had never been heard of. Mrs. ‘Villiams Still Weeping. TONAWANDA, N.

PROVIDENCE, Sept.80.—Mrs. Lucy Lind- say, about 69 years of age, was found dead in her house. 116 Matthewson street, yes-~ terday afternoon, and foul play is suspect- ed, as a big gash was found in the side of the woman’s head. The body was found on the floor of a bedroom. The suspicion of the police was aroused by the absence of blood, as the wound must have bled pros fusoly. It is estimated the dead woman was worth at least $50,000. A servant, Annie Flynn, took the do- teotivcs to a closet near where the body 'was found, and after a. brief search boxes containing diamonds, jewelry, gold watches, gold and silver coin and paper money were found. They had evidently remained untouched for years. The money alone amounted to nearly $2,000. A fur- ther search revealed bank books, which showed Mrs. Lindsay had nearly $9,000 in banks to her credit. Dr. 'Palmer. the medical examiner, will hold an autopsy. A Great Prairie Fire Raging. hIOWA, Kan.

MAY BE No 001.111.1111)le " President Cleveland May Not Appoint a. Successor to General Schofleld. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30...——The impression is gaining in army circles that General Schofield’s successor in command of the army will not be designated immediately, and there are not a few officers who 'are firm in the belief that it is the president’s purpose to allow the assignment/to lapse. This latter theory .is based on the fact that there is no legal requirement for such an officer, and that the duties of the office can be performed;by the secretary of war or his assistant without injury to the serv- ice and without conflict with the statutes governing the military establishment. In case any officer is placed in command of the army it will undoubtedly be General Miles. . Scliofleld's Farewell Order. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30,—The following order has been issued from army head- quarters: “By operation of law the un- dérsigned has ceased to command the army. He extends to al his companions and comrades most cordial thanks for the zeal and fidelity with which they have at all times supported him in the discharge of his duties, and he assures them of his high esteem for their soldierly and patri- otic devotion to the country’s service. “J.
