CHENEY’S TESTIMONY SAN FRANCISCO, September 27.—The report that the defense in the Durrant murder case would produce a witness who would testify that she saw the accused medical student enter the Enianuel Baptist Church alone on the afternoon of April 3 between 4:30 and 5 o'clock, between which times Blanche Lamont is supposed to have been murdered, has been confirmed, but the few people to whom this witness confided the story guarded her name sedulously. Wm. A. Doud, a stock broker, knows the woman who may thus testify, and is in possession of the nature of the evidence she gives. Mr. Doud said: “I know of this witness because the story was told to me. Several others know of it. All are pledged to se- erecy. When the proper time comes, and to the proper authorities, the evidence will be given.” The story as known in police head- quarters is that this woman met a young man walking toward the church on that afternoon at the time mentioned and ac- costed him, mistaking him at first for a friend. She apologized, passed on, and then curious about her mistake turned and saw the stranger entering the church. Recent- ly she is said to have identified Durrant as the young man who she spoke to on that afternoon. Mr. Doud would neither deny nor confirm this. He said tnat he had no motive to conceal anything. The point with him is that the lady might be mistaken, and until she found that she was not it was not necessary to bring her name before the police. The following have been subpoenaed and will be called to the stand today: Dr. Stillman and Dr. Rixford and Stu- dents Wythe, Cross, Diggins, Carter, Gra- ham and Walters of the Cooper College, Seymour W. Condon, E. Carpenter and Robert W. Maitland. Cxrpenter is an expert gas fitter, who will explain the workings on the sunburner in Emanuel Church, and Maitland, an expert electrician, will show by diagrams and charts how the electrical apparatus of the building is run. The prosecution during the presentation of Its evidence against Durrant was unable to present testimony tending to show that the accused was of immoral character and had visited immoral resor! When the time for rebuttal comes, however, it is the intention to present all of that evidence. DURRANT’S ALIBI NOT PROVED Dr. Cheney Disappoints the Defense by His Testimony. The keystone in the arch of Durrant's alibi in the murder trial at San Francisco crumbled and fell yesterday. The witness upon whom the attorneys for the defense depended most to sustain their contention that Durrant was attending a lecture at Coopet Medical College at the hour when Blanche Lamort was murdered gave dis- appointing testimony. Instead of testify- ing that Durrant was present ai the tec- ture, as Attorney Duprey said Dr. Cheney would do, the doctor said he had no recoi- Tection of sccing the young medical stu- ent. To offset this reverse the defense gained cnly one point, the admission as an ex- hibit of the roll call book 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 that Durrant frequently asked his classmates to answer to his name when he was absent, and that they complied with his request. Attorney Duprey was plainly nettled at the conflict between what the defense had promised Dr. Cheney would testify to and what he really did say, so another effort wes made to obtain a satisfactory an- swer. The witness was asked if in a con- versation with one of the attorneys for the defense he (the witness) had not said that he believed that Durrant was present at the lecture. The court asked Attorney Duprey if he was trying to impeach his own witness. and then sustained an objection interposed by the prosecution. On cross-examination District Attorney Barnes tried to show that students at the college frequently had their classmates arswer to their names at roll call when they were absent. The witness was asked if in his experience as an instructor at the college he had not become aware of the existence of such a practice. The defense objected to the question on account of its sweeping nature. The court sustained the objection, but intimated that the question might be asked if put in proper form. Two or three more questions of similar import- ance were asked, but objections were sus- tained in each case. Court adjourned until teday with the cross-examination of Dr. Cheney still incomplete. — see Broke His Jaw. ‘This morning in Judge Miller's court, when the bailiff called the name Thomas Fitz- gerald, a man in the audience responded, and when the clerk arraigned him on a charge of assault on Ferdinand Luttrell, the man was very much surprised, and announc- ed that he had never been arrested in his life. “He's the wrong man,” said an officer. “The man charged is not here.” The prosecuting witness, whose head and face showed that he had been attended by a physician, was called and questioned by Judge Miller. He told the judge that he was a car repalr- er at the 7th street pewer house, and y day afternoon while on duty Fitzgeral who was under the influence of liquor, came there and attempred to jump on a moving car. He warned Fitzgerald that he had bet- ter not jump on the car, and told him he might get killed. This angered Fitzgerald, who thanked him by dealing him a stunning blow in the face with his fist. The blow was dealt with such force that Luttrell’s jaw was broken and one tooth was knocked out. Policeman Herndon of the first precinct happened to be upon the scene at the time, and he placed Fitzgerald under arrest. When Fitzgerald was taken to the fourth precinct station the officer in charge ac- cepted $10 collatcral. Judge Miller wanted to know why the po- lice had taken so small an amount of collat- eral, and ordered the issuance of an attach- ment. Fitzgerald, who keeps a saloon near 12th and D streets, in the “Division,” will be brought into court and tried. ges The Golden Cross. Ap adjourned session of the Grand Com- mandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, was held last evening at National Com- mardery Hall, Grand Commander Orrin B. Hallam presiding. Walter E. Allen of Goodwill Commandery and David Cranmer of Mt. Vernon were obligated and in- structed in the fourth degree. The session was entirely devoted to the corsideration of reports submitted by Past Grand Commander Ehle from the commit- tee on laws. ‘The following amendment to the constitu- tion was adopted: “The election and installation of the offi- cers shall be at the April session, subject to the following provision: That after all the business of the session down to the reading cf the minutes of the last session has been completed, a recess shall then be taken to a day certain, of which due notice shall be given through advertisement in the public press or otherwise, when the nomination, election and installation shall occur, to be followed by the reading of the minutes of the last day's session.” recess was then taken until tomorrow evening, when the session wili be resumed at Golden Cross Hall. —_—>__ A Story for Children. ‘The well-known author, John Habberton, has written a story that will especially in- terest children, It will be printed in Satur- day’s Star. ee es i is te te Stores Closed Tomorrow Until 6 P.

Mr. And Lipscombe One of Them— Many Other Local and General Nates. A jcint meeting of the city and county democratic committees was held in the chamber of the common council last night. There were present Messrs. Graham and Febrey from the county, and Messrs. Swee- ney, Boothe, Dobie, Cook, Penn, Price and Wilkirs. Mr. J. T. Sweeney was in the chair, with Mr. C. B. Graham from the county. Mr. Graham moved that the last presidential vote be used as the basis for choosing the delegates to the convention. This entitles the city to twenty delegates and the county to three. The motion was carried. The gentlemen from the county wanted ward meetings instead of primarics. This question was argued at great length, the members from the county claiming that their people could not lose the time ie- quired for a primary. Mr. Boothe moved that a primary clection be held Tuesday October 8, and his motion was carried. Mz. Graham announced that Mr. A. A. Lips- comb, from the county, would be a candi- date for the house also. The secretary, Mr. R. T. Cook, stated that a primary would cost $150, and the candidates were instruct- ed to deposit their share of the experse with the chairman on or before October 1. Only known democrats and white voters who will pledge themselves to support the nominee will be entitled to vote in the primary. Each candidate will be entitled to one delegate for every 100 votes and one for every fraction over fifty. With the arnouncemert of Mr. A. A. Lipscomb a scmewhat different complexion is placed | en the matter. With four candidates in | the field, it is hard to predict just what the outcome will be. Each man is hard at work, and cach one declares himself in the fight to stay. Board of Hentth. The board of health has started in on a crusade against the dirt and filth of this | city, and their action is none too soon.
