THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, \ PACIFIC COAST NEWS Sweet Peas and Roses Will Bloom in the Spring. THE SAN JOSE CARNIVAL. Success of a Coming Event Guaranteed by Prompt Response. A WHOLE RANCH IN FLOWERS. Some Twenty-Flve Acres WIII Be Devoted to Growing the Decorations. SAN JOSE, CAL., Oct. 6.—The carnival of Roses to be held in this city in May, 1896, will be a grand success. This is evi- denced by the success met with in an ex- tended canvass of the city yesterday by A. Greeninger, chairman of the executive eommittee; Director-General Henry; C. M. Wooster, representing the Board of Trade; H. M. N. Spring, chairman of the committee of w aud meansand finance; Colonel A. K. Whitton, chairman of the committee on parade, and W. C. Andrews. These gentlemen report that every one seen is enthusiastic over the carnival, and that ali have promised financial aid and donations of flowers in such amounts as to make the enterprise a success. In order to secure large quantities of flowers of the same color for decorative purposes ar- rangements have beenmade with owners of vacant land whereby about twenty-five acres will be planted in roses, sweet peas, marigolds and other flowers that will come into bloom in May. H. V. Morehouse and Colonel A. K. ‘Whitton have each subscribed one acre of sweet peas and Mrs. C. H. Cropley has subscribed one-half acre of roses. Com- mittees have been appointed to see that the weeds in all vacant lots are removed and the same set to flowers. Efforts will be made to have about eight acres of the Nor- mal grounds set out in marigolds or some other flower that can be easily raised and effectively used for decorative purposes. .Everything possible will be done to beau- tify the city, and when the carnival opens San Jose will be a veritable flower bed. In a short canvass yesterday afternoon Chairman Spring of the finance committee secured over $3300 in subscriptions. This is over one-third of the amount needed to insure the success of the enterprise. Only a few representatives of each business and profession were seen, but all were enthus- iastic and responded liberally to the call for subscriptions. The subscriptions are to be paid in six monthly installments, be- ginning November 1. Besides the sub- scriptions actually received promises have been secured from persons who were not ready to name individual amounts, but that will swell the sum to $4000. The Mer- cury and the other papers of the city have tendered the use of their columns for all publications free of charge. Chairman L. J. Chipman of the flower supply committee, aided by Mrs. C. D. ‘Wright, Mrs. M. D. Brainard, Mrs. R. B, Dunlop, Mrs. J. H. Stark, Mrs. J. F. Thompson and other representatives of the County Floral Society, have been busily engaged during the past week in making arrangements to insure a sufficient supply of roses. Meetings of the various flower supply committees will be held during the com- ing week at the office of L. J. Chapman in the Hall of Records. The committee for San Jose, consisting of Mrs. C. D. Wright, T. F. Morrison, F. P. Russell, Mrs. M. D. Brainard and Professor C. W. Childs, will meet Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The general flower supply committee for the county will meet next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Arrangements for the entertainment to be given by the Counnty Floral Society for the benefit of the carnival fund are pro- gressing very favorably. It will be given in Turn Verein Hall. Professor F. L. King has volunteered to supply the music gratuitously for the occasion.” The entire Ban Jose Orchestral Society will be upon th e stage and discourse some of its choic- est music. e RAIDED CHINATOWN: San Jose Officers Capture Fan-Tan Players by Strategy. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 6.—The police last evening raided a fan-tan game in Hein- len’s Chinatown and arrested twenty-one Chinamen aud one woman. The police have been watching the place for several days, but as soon as the sentinels saw the officers coming the doors would be closed and bolted. In order that an entrance might be effected, Chief Kidward decided to disguise the officers. An old junk wagon was secured and Officer Haley, blacked as a negro, and Officers Anderson, Bache and Woods, in the conventional attire of hobos, retired to Heinlenville in this rig. The approach of the dilapidated old wagon did not attract the sentinels’ atten- tion, and before the Celestials had time to bolt the doors the officers were inside. The twenty-two Chinese were taken to the police station, and fourteen were subse- quently released on depositing $5 each. ey BOARDMAN IN CUSTODY.

BAN JOSE, Cav., Oct. 6.—The Woman’s @ub, at its meeting yesterday afternoon, started a movement to raise $650 tolift a mortgage on the home of John C. Pelton, the pioneer educator of the coast, at San Diego. Mr. Pelton is now aged and in- firm and is about to lose his home. The club started the fund by appropriating $50. Mrs. Carrie Stevens Walter, Mrs. Dr. Simonton and Mrs. W. W. Tyler were ap- ointed a committee to secure the amount. rs. E. O. Smith, Mrs. J. E. Casterline and Mrs, A. B. McNeil were appointed a committee to wait upon the City and County Superintendents of Schooly and Principal C. W. Childs of the Normal School, and ask them to lay the situation before the teachers and pupils and see if by voluntary contributions sufficient money cannot be raised to secure a release of this mortgage upon the revered old teacher’s home and present it to him when he lectures in this city again as a love offering. TRIED TO KILL TWO MEN. Charles F. Ledwith, an Electrician, Shoots Daniel Rimlinger and Barely Misses W. B. Amner. An attempt to kill two men was made by Charles F. Ledwith, an electrician of 307 Fourth street, while intoxicated in a saloon at 222 Fourth street last night. He did put a bullet from a 38-caliber pis- tol into the left side of Daniel Rimlinger, who lodges at 109 Fifth street, and just missed W. B. Amner, a machinist, whose home is at 821 Howard street. Rimlinger's wound was not fatal, the bullet having lodged in the muscles of his back. The bullet which Ledwith intended for Amner went into the front door-casin, of the saloon. Policeman Stanley arreste Ledwith and booked him at the Southern station on two cbarges of assault to murder. Rimlinger. Amnerand Ledwith had been drinking. There were some words about a trifling matter which caused the affray. SCORES AT SHELL MOUND. F. O. Young Believes That His Rifle Is Now Perfect for Centers. Militiamen, Naval Reserve Boys and German Sharpshooters at the Targets. ¥. 0. Young, one of the crack shots of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club, wasa happy man yesterday. Kor over a year he had been experimenting with his rifle and ammunition in the hope of obtaining perfection in both. That is that he might be able to send one bullet after another into a given space with unerring precision, and to know that when the desired result was not obtained that it was the fault of the man and not of the rifle. his 32-caliber rifle to a 33, and tried vari- ous kinds of powder and bullets of differ- ent weights. Yesterday at_the Shell Mound range Young resumed his experiments, and at the con clusion of his last string of five shots he cried, “Eureka!” for he had fixed his rifle so as to hit the center of a 25-ring target at 200 yards. In five shots he made 23,°23,.25, 25, 2. He might have con- tinued making dead centers until dark had not the mainspring snapped. The two twenty-threes were an inch and a half apart and the twenty-fives could be cov- ered with the ball of the thumb. These results were obtained with black and nitro powders. D. McLaughlin, also 8 member of the Columbia Club, did some remarkable shooting. In six shots he made 24, 24, 24, Several military companies were at Shell Mound, shooting for the monthly medals and practicing. Company B of the First had a number of men before the targets for a practice shoot. Their scores were: Captain Filmer 42, A. Gehret 44, L. Zimmer- man 37, F. Bnumganen 41, H. Freck 40,J. Baumgarten 42, P. L. Bannan 40, W. L. Over- street 27, G. Ungermann 43. Some of the members of Company F of the First were out as well for practice and for medals. They made: W. W. McGowan 45, Lieutenant A.C. Adler 42, A. D. Wunder 40, W. E. Meadows Jr. 88, W, L. Robertson 37, H. Week 34, H. J. Mangels 43. The monthly medal shoot of the Inde- pendent Rifles resuited in the following scores: Sergeant ¥. M. Leising 42, Corporal C, Lin- decker 33, W. Meyer 35, H.Siems 15, H. All- dach 38, Cor; H. Wilkins 4, F. H. Bunkmann 22, F. Hau 37, Lieutenant H. Beversen 33, H. Tonnemacher 32. The monthly and quarterly medal shoot of the First Division of the Naval Reserve brought forth the annexed scores: J. Cappelman 34, F. Murphy 38, E. Sewell 27, T. Sewell 26, 0. Smith 35. C. Bulletti 25, E. Al- len 35, C. Allen 41, C.Wiseman 86, D. Burke 41, A.Ludemann 43, J. M. Miller 25, J. Tou- saint 30. From early in the morning until late in the afternoon the members of the Schutzen section of the Deutscher Krieger Verien | banged away at the point target for the monthly medals, and ‘the following were the winners: Champion class—G. Hatzel, 341 points; first class—C. Waggeman, 317; second class—R. E%lanuteuhnushn. 250; third class—H. H. Moore, 106 First best shoot—J. Engish, 21; last best—C. Murefzen, 21; most bulleyes—C. Waggeman. ST <L T STRECKER SCORES HIGH. The Champlon Rifle Shot Does Some Good Work at San Rafael Range. Adolph Strecker, the great rifle shot, reg- istered a rattling score in a private match with John Utschig at the California Schuetzen Club’s range near San Rafael yesterday. Twenty shots were fired at a twenty-five ring target by .each man. Strecker ran a good string of shots from the start and when he finished he had a total of 454 points out of a possible 500, The excellence of the shooting is n%parent from Strecker’s statement that the dis- wance of his twenty shots from the center of the dollar-sized bullseye averaged only about two inches. The principal event on the range in the way of club matches was a medal shoot by the California Schuetzen men. The scores were very creditable. D. 8. Faktor did a bit of very fine shooting when he rolled up a score of 117 out of 125 in his last five shots. The results of the firing were as follows: Champion class, A. Strecker, 447; first class, D. B. Faktor, 426; second class, P. Erunotte, 401; third class, Joseph Fetz, 397; fourth class, C. Eging, 355. The best first shot was a bullseye by J. Utschig, and the best last shot also a center by Faktor.

Procession Around the Block—High Mass and Sermon by Father O’Nell. Rosary Sunday was observed in this City yesterday at 8t. Dominic’s Church, on Steiner street. Itis a feastyinstituted by Pope Pius V,about the sixteenth century, in solemn thanksgiving for all the vie- tories obtained over the enemies of the church in answer to the prayer of the rosary, and it is observed on the first Sun- day in October each year. The morning service occupied three hours. It began at 10 o’clock with the distribution of blessed roses to the whole congregation, that numbered a little over 2000. Hundzeds of persons were compelled to stand in the aisles, as the seating ca- pacity of the church was inadequate, The roses were contributed by different members of the congregation, who sent them to the church to be blessed by the provincial father, the Rev. Pious Murphy. At 10:30 o'clock solemn high mass was begun, and the Rev. Father T. L. O’Neil, P., delivered a sermon on the rosary. His discourse was brief, and consisted mainly in mention of the services of the Virgin Mary and her valuable teachings, as embodied in the mysteries of the rosary. In the course of his remarks he said that some sinners had been brought back to the church, “not by learning, not by science, no, not even by sanctity, but by the nflu- ence of the Blessed Virgin;”’ that the way in which men must go to the Lord is the way in which he came to them through the medium of the Blessed Virgin and the rosary. The rosary, he said, was the concentra- tion ofall; the presentation of men of Jesus Curist. The teaching of the Blessed Lady was not only true, but capable of being practiced. The rosary presented the pith and marrow of all prayer. He closed by saying, “We are here to pray for the faithful and by the wish of the sovereign pontiff.” Tue Rev. T. L. O’'Neil is the editor of the Rosary Magazine published monthly in New York City. He was formerly a pro- fessor in the Catholic University at Wash- ington and is a man of international rep- utation in the Catholic world. High mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father Harrington, assisted by Father Dyson as deacon and Father Martin as sub-deacon. During the services the following music was rendered : Mass in A major by J. N.Kalliwoda; “Credo,” Beethoven’s in C; ““Ave Maria” (J. Fause), tenor solo by W.J.O'Brien; “Veni Creator’ (Wag- ner), contralto solo by Miss Daisy M. Cressy; 0 Salutaris” (Stradelli), tenor solo by G. 0. Jones. The choir was composed as follows: Vocalists—Sopranos, Miss H. B. Pierce, Miss M. Lawlor, Miss G. Gleason; contraltos, Miss M. Shannon, Miss Brawley, Miss K. Coyle, Miss D. M. Crc:x?'; tenor, G. O.Jones; bessos, D. 1. Sheerini, J.'W. Shannon. Instrumentalists— Organist, Miss D. Desmond; first violins, Theo- dore Blake, G. Garson; second violin, Professor F. Thomas; viola, A. W. Jones; ’cello, Dr. A.W. Prentiss. Immediately after mass the procession began to issue from the vestry and to march slowly down the main aisle that had been yacated for it to pass. The procession was’in five divisions, un. der the direction of J. C. Bateman as grand marshal. In the first division, under J. B. Mc- Intyre, were one hundred little girls all 'in' white and wearing white veils. There was a regular procession from little wots 4 years old to girls 12 or 13, The second division under Daniel Sheerin and the third under Edward Kenny were mamly composed of about sixty maidens and young women. The fourth division under David Corn- foot was made up of about seventy httle bolys and some young women. n the fifth division under the marshal- ship of Thomas O'Neil were about 100 matrons in black. In addition to these most characteristic features of the divisions of the procession there were many young men and old men in less noticeable numbers. Over 500 per- sons, nearly all of them Rosarians, were in the whole procession. Preceded by Cross-bearer Thomas J. O’Neil, who was escorted by two candle- bearers, the froce:eion moved slowly down the main aisle two abreast, the little ones with clasped hands held reverently in front, and the older ones devoutly te| ling their beads. At intervals through the procession were carried painted banners symbolic of the fifteen mysteries of the rosary. The chanters for the different divisions in order were: A. G. McKerron, Thomas Panzini, Patrick O'Rourke, ¥. J. Weyland. At the end of the procession there was a small statue of the Blessed Virgin ona floral standard lighted by twelve tapers and borne on the shoulders of four men. Behind this statue walked seven priests in black gowns. Passine out of the church and followed by the immense congregation, the proces- sion marched round the block from Steiner street to Pine, to Bush and back to Steiner and re-entered the church. Those who took part in the regular pro- cession wore upon their breasts a small cord, upon which was a_ picture of the Virgin Mary and the words ‘‘Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, Pray for Us.” All day people “were coming and goin, to the church. Many of them observ. the custom of lighting candles before the altar, a ceremony in which the light of the candle is symbolic of the ardent devotion of the giver and his prayers and petitions when he is absent. In the evening, commencing at half-past 7, there was another procession and ser- mon similar fo that of the morning, accompanied by the benediction of the blessed sacrament. 2 GAELIC FOOTBALL SEASON, Opening Game Played Between the Emmets and San Franciscos. Both Teams Were Evenly Matched and the Play Was Exceptlon~ ally Brilliant. The Gaelic football season opened yes- terday afternoon at the new Tecrealion grounds, Golden Gate Park, under the most favorable auspices. The weather was all that could be desired, the attendance good and the play brilliant. The opening game was between the Em- mets and San Franciscos, and each had its crack players on the ground, besides three or four new players who have made their mark in the Emerald Isle and proved that they will be a decided acquisition to the teams. The grounds had not been staked off nor were the goal posts erected, but rather than disappoint the spectators posts were put up for goals and pieces of paper marked the boundary lines. The teams yesterday were evenly matched. The San Franciscos had the ad- vantage in the first half and succeeaed in securing & goal, but the Emmets pulled OCTOBER 7, 1895. themselves together in the second half and evened matters up sc that at the close neither could claim a victory. Shortly after 3 o’clock the teams lined up as fol- lows: Emmets—Lynch (goal), J. Ryan, O'Dowd. Mescoll ennyt, Ken(g, F.) Pilmexy (captain), M. Daly, §. Hughes, Sugrue, Contoy, Powers, Leonard, 0'Dowd, Creede and Wren. San Franciscos—Ahern (goal), Tierney, Han- nigan, 8. Weish, Mellott, H. Welsh, Dunne, Me- Carthy, Manning, T. Daly, Kelleher, T. Hughes, g&?fimy, White, O'Keefe, McInerney (cap- The referee was Jerome Donoyan. After the throw-off the ball was kept for some time_dangerously near the Friscos’ goal and Palmer and 'S. Hughes made several attempts to score, but without success. This sort of thing was stopped by T. Hughes and Mellott, who rfribble the ball down the field, and McInerney missed anl by only a foot ortwo. The ball was ept on the move till Tom Daly, by a dextrous kick, sent it between the posts, scoring a goal for the San Franciscos. Donovan would not allow the teams any breathing time and the second half was started without a minute’s delay. Asin the first half the Emmets at the start kept their opponents on the defensive and Ahern had to keep on the alert to prevent the ball from passing him. Finally there was & sharp scrimmage in front of goal and Palmer sent the ball between the posts, making the score a tie. Some ex- ceptionally brilliant play followed, the Hughes brothers, Palmer, McInerney, Mellott, Daly, McCarthy and Walsh par- ticularly distinf;uishing themselves, but although several tries for goal were made on both sides the score was not changed. AT THE PARK AND BEACH, Sixty Men in the People’s Pleasure Ground Are Laid Off. Eight Thousand Cyclers on the Road—Two Acres of Chrysan= themums. “The complications in connection with the tax levy are bothering us just now,” said Park Commissioner Austin yesters day. “The want of money, or the cer- tainty of the amount the park fund will be allowed this year, will cripple the commission in the performance of neces- sary improvements. A few days since we were forced to lay off thirty men. “And to-day we told Superintendent Mc- Laren that we would have to lay off thirty more in a few days, because we have no money to pay them. Of course we must retain a certain number, come what may, in order to keep the park in tolerably good condition.” The Commissioners were of the opinion that the tax levy will stand, butin the meantime, in view of the uncertainty, the people’s pleasure ground will have to suffer. Commissioner Austin added that there were many improvements contemplated which could not av this time be com- menced. “One of these,” he said, ‘is the grand music court.” Yesterday afternoon a number of repre- sentative cyclers, headed by S. W. Backus, waited npon Commissioners Austin and Rosenfeld and Superintendent McLaren at the lodge and had an informal talk in re- lation to bicycles and bicyclers in the park. The spokesman stated that the cyclers of this City were very desirous of having the park lighted by electricity at night and would like to have the Commissioners widen the bicycle road so that instead of twenty feet it would be seventy feet wide. The Commissioners received the sugges- tions and stated they would be brought up at the next meeting of the board. Except on special fete days there never was a greater number of people in Golden Gate Park than there was yesterday, not only pedestrians but cyclers, and the num- ber of vehicles, froma phaeton drawn by a Shetland pony to a four-in-hand, ex- ceeded that of any Sunday within six months. A feature among the bicyclers was the first outing of the Olympic Bicycle Club in the uniform recently adopted—dark biue knickerbockers, cardinal sweaters and white caps. The winged doughnut em- blem has been discarded and substituted by & monogram of “O. C.”” in white. Fol- lowing the captain twenty-seven uniformed men, all first-class riders, wheeled to the Cliff, executing many fancy movements on the way. Duplex bicycles, built for two and de- cidedly more attractive than tandems, were seen spinning along the roads. The number of cyclers, male and female, who enter the park on Sund: is contin- ually on the incraase. An individual with an impulsive turn of mind recently sta- tioned himself at the Stanyan-street en- trance and kept tally of the wheels as they went by morning and afternoon, and he states that from early morn until the shades of evening fell nearly 8000 wheelers passed by him, all bound west. The great- est number was in the early morning. The youthful visitor to the park, who is not under paternal or maternal restraint, has found a new source of amusement; that is climbing up to the first landing of the deserted electric tower and then as- cending to the searchlight platform by means of the iron ladder. Fritz Scheel led the band and gave a most enjoyable programme, hut there were many who were disappointed in this that it was made up of only ten numbers. The walls of the new lodge are up as high as they will be builtand the roof tim- bers 1s being put in place. Over two acres of ground on & hillock near the southern line of the park have been cleared of poison oak and wild éwwlhs under the direction of Foreman ardener Millen and planted in chrysan- themums and pinks. Of the former these beauties of every shade and size have been planted and within two weeks the public will be treated to a view of the finest dis- play of these grand flowers that has ever en seen 1n this City. The pinks which have just been set out will also make a fine show when they blossom. The spot which a few months'ago was 8 wilderness is now a magnificent garden. ‘While the park was crowded there was an immense throng at the ocean beach. . The new Cliff House is rapidly approach- ing completion, and its handsome appear- ance leads to much fayorable comment. The amount of work that has been done on the Sutro electric line is visible, and it gives evidence that the road will soon be in running order. The rails have been laid northward past the entrance to Sutro Heights, along what is called “Midway Plaisance avenue,” then they make a turn south and westward to an elevation withina few feet of the Sutro baths. The large swim- ming tanks are receiving a coat of white paint preparatory to the opening, which will take place about the same time that the electric road is operated. Within the building a magnificent museum has been opened. It containsg a great number of curios that one cannot examine in a day, and many of them are yery rare. Captain Samuel Thomson of the park police, who while trying to stop a runaway in the park was thrown from his horse and had two ribs broken, is still confined to his home, Officer Compher is acting captain during Thomson’s forced retirement. ————————— Twentieth Century Creed. _Dr. Stevens, pastor of Simpson Memo- rial Church, preached last evening on “The Creea of the Twentieth Century,” find1n§ inspiration for his theme in the reply Peter made to Christ when he asked, “Who think ye Tam?” Peter said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of God.” The speaker showed how these words formed the very heart of all religion. As to the creed of the twentieth century he could not state the exact nature of iis ex- ternal expression, but he propesied that these words, “Thon art the Son of God,” would be engraven more deeply in the heart of all tha: t be the creed of all cr::\‘fis.mou > ‘<ve them, and as a last proposition, that DR, GRAHAM'S NEW STORY A Statement That Durrant Told Him He Had No Notes of Dr. Cheney’s Lecture IS SCOUTED BY THE DEFENSE. Deuprey Charges the Police With Unduly Influencing Witnesses for the State. A story gained some currency ves- terday concerning Dr.. Gilbert 'F. Gra- ham’s connection with the Durrant case which, if true, is of prime importance to the people’s case szainst the accused student. The story, which is to the effect that Dr. Graham has come forward and given to the police information which he has withheld for months, is for that rea- €on burdened with the element of improb- ability, and for the same reason is held up | to scorn by the attorneys for the defense. | However, the authentieity of the story is vouched for by Captain Lees. For this reason the doubt as to its accuracy is in large part removed, while this same fact in itself gives color to the contention the de- fense has made all along, that the police have exerted themselves to refresh the memories of witnesses since the case first commenced in the effort to prove their tneory by inducing them to testify to matters in which their memories failed to | serve without much prompting and per- | suasion. The story of Durrant’s having requested Dr. Grabam to lend him his notes for com- Emson has been extensively published, ut beyond the fact that the accused did ask for the notes, Dr. Graham has stead- fastly maintained that he had no informa- | tion. He now comes forward with a very different story. | At 2 o’clock yesterday morning, in com- pany with J. B. Dunnigan, Dr. Graham | visited the residence of Captain Lees and | imparted to the chief of detectives the in- formation that while he and Dunnigan were visiting Durrant in the City Prison on the afternoon of April 20 the accused had taken him aside and requested the loan of his notes on Dr. Cheney’s lecture, saying that he had no notes, the only thing needed to complete his alibi; that | he was undecided as to what he should do,whereupon Durrant became excited and urged that he take a copy of the notes to his (Durrant’s) mother, or_that he take the notes to Mrs. Durrant and let her copy e memorize them and return to the jailand recite them to him (the prisoner) that he | might take them down. This is the new story told by Dr. Graham to Captain Lees white the latier was in bed yesterday morning. If it can be sub- stantiated by Dr, Graham taking the stand and testifying to that effect, his testimon’y will be exceedingly damaging to Durrant’s case and will go far toward convicting him of the murder of Blanche Lamont. Dr. Graham left the City immediately after his early morning visit to Captain” Lees and | was not to be seen yesterday. Durrant’s attorneys are disposed to treat Dr. Graham’s new statement lightly. Mr. Deu(grey said last evening: “Dr. Graham must have been taken with a sudden pricking of the conscience. | It does not seem to have troubled him all | these months that he claims to have car- ried it. His accounting for not havin, told the story before, on the score o friendship, is rather a hollow excuse, for they were not on any particularly friendl terms. His story sounds to me as thoug he had been studiously prompted by some one, as I am almost certain other wit- nesses have. “It is true Dr. Graham visited Gen- eral Dickinson’s office at my request, as stated, but he did not make any such ad- missions. I asked him particularly 1f Mr. Durrant had acted in any manner to sug- gest that he was ill at ease and he told me he had considered the request for the notes as nothing out of the ordinary. Asa mat- ter of fact, we were in possession of Mr. Durrant’s notes before Dr. Graham called on him at the City Prison and they have not been out of our possession since.”’ The prisoner himself was not at all con- cerned yesterday about the new testimony which it is_alleged Dr. Graham will give. “The story is simply another of the series of lies that bave been publishad about me,” said he. “Why did not Dr. Graham tell | that story long ago I should like to know ? If it was because]f of friendliness for me I certainly appreciate it, but I was just as certainly never aware he had so much friendship for me. I cannot believe Dr. Graham has made so untruthful a statement.” In an interview with a reporter some dayssince, Dr. Graham stated that the only | bing ha would be able to testify to would | be the fact that Durrant asked for his | notes. He said then that he did not con- sider it an extraordinary request, and stated very plainly that in Durrant's ac- | tions and conversation during his visit to him in the City Prison there was rothing that indicated a consciousness of his guilt. Captain Lees stated last evening that it was true Dr. Graham had made a new statement to him. “The young man stated,” said he, “‘that he had to go on the stand and testify, and that he cou!d not there hold back the truth as he has been doing, for he would be perjuring himself. This%]e could not do, so he came to me aud told his story.” COURSING AT THE PARK. Xlene and Flashlight Won at Casserly’s and Belmont a* Kerrigan’s Resort.
