8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1895. WHAT DURRANT SAID “HeTorLp MESHE WAS MUR-| DERED ON THE SECOND LANDING." “THERE WAS NO BLOOD.” Miss CUNNINGHAM TESTIFIES TO HER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEFENDANT. NEAR THE END OF THE TRIAL. PrAcTICALLY ALL THE EVIDENCE IN. MR. Pe1xoTTO WILL SPEAK To-Day. THE DURRANT TRIAL IN A MINUTE—THE EVIDENCE IN. The trial of W. H. Theodore Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont is now rapidly drawing to a close. All the evidence is practically finished and it is expected that some time to-day Mr. Peixotto will begin his opening argument for the people. Yesterday there were three chief witnesses. The first of them was Miss Carrie Cunning- ham, the reporter, who told that Durrant said he saw Blanche Lamont’s body on the second | landing 1n the beliry, where she was mur- | dercd. She was crossexamined at some length. Dr. W. H. Mays and Dr. Julius Rosenstirn | were called asexperts on the effects of gas in- | halation. Both of them testified that the pois- | oning of the blood from inhaling illuminating | gas caused a redness of the surface of the skin. | The case is continued at 10 o'clock this morning. —_ TWENTY-SEVENTH DAY. What Durrant Said About the Body In the Belfry — Both Sides Have Rested. After twenty-seven days actually con- sumed in taking testimony, that part of | the trial of Theodofe Durrant is about concluded. When the session was at an end yester- day Mr. Barnes announced that in all probability when court opened in the morning his statement would be that the case for the people was closed. However, there might be one short witness' still to be heard, but only the one at most, and probably not that. There is a pos ty that Mr. Dickinson may bave some surrebuttal to offer; but that is not likely. He does not expect it. At all events, it isa very safe prophecy that Mr. Peixotto will be on his feet ad- | dressing the jury in the opening argument for the State at least some time to-day. His will not be a short speech. He has a stack of notes prepared, and even a poem of several stanzas ready for his great ef- fort. The chances are he will surprise some people and make a telling arcument. The three c! in rebuttal rie Cunning- | ations with Dur- rantin the jail, and two medical experts, who gave scientific explanations of the toxic effect of gas inhalation, There was nothing particularly new in Miss Cun sham’s testimony. It was fully as strong as had been expected, and a most searching cross-examination did not seem to shake it in any way. As to the ope D nt showed her —the one ad ed to his attorneys, with | the directions on as ruled out by Judze aid it was 2 dangerous class that would be likely to open too widely to the jury the door of alation as to w the contents of that | t not be. | ham told how Dur- | ier body on th “she mur sec- | ed on the | y. The *‘she,” to Blanche Lamont. Mr. p out this tes- lized that it, d up a world of speculation for e, then, murdered on the second iad she been decoyed that far alive and then crue strangled? Mr. Barnes will be apt to argue that such a theory is the probable truth, Miss Cunningham said she had visited Durrant frequently—nearly every day since the middle of August. She took him the weekly papers on Sunday and had the office send him all the morning papers by carrier. N She said she promised Durrant not to print the story, and she sept her word. He made her take an oath not to publish it, and, though it would have made a very neat, exclusive and sensational story for her paper, she kept her oath—and finally gave the information to Mr. Barnes. She said she was not employed by the detectives or by the prosecution. She was and is a newspaper reporter—that, and nothing more. Then came the experts on the effects of gas inhalation. These were Dr. W. H. Mays and Dr. Julius Rosenstirn—men of unquestioned authority in their depart- ment of science. They said that gas in- halation poisoned the blood, filled it with carbonate oxide and turned the surface of the skin red—not white, as Durrant was when he came downstairs and stood iu the folding doors before George King. The crowd in attendance was as large as usual yesterday, and hundreds sought and failed to gain admission. e THE MORNING SESSION. Miss Cunningham Relates What Durrant Told Her at the Jail. Another Medical Expert. Dr. Graham was recalled when court opened for the day. Mr. Dickinson asked bim only a few questions. These con- cerned the dates upon which he had been interviewed by the reporters and elicited nothing new. Miss Carrie Cunningham came next. She came, of course, to tell of what oc- curred between her and Durrant during their many and lengthy interviews at the County Jail. Miss Cunningham said first that she lived at 1133 Bush street; that she first worked as a reporter on the Examiner for two years, and then went to the Chronicle and worked there until the 15th of this month, when she went back to the Ex- aminer, “Do you know the defendant in this case?” asked Barnes, “Yes, sir; since the 18th of August of this ear.” e ce that time to the 15th of nglober did you ever visit him at the County Jail “Yes, sir.” “How often did you visit him?" +Almost every day.” “For how long a time?” *“From half an hour to two hours anda half.” | fend WAS N THE BELFRY, “You went there for your paper?” ] did.” one with you on this occasion?” Chief Jeiler Satler and an artist “Yes, sir trom the paper.” “And on the other occasions?” «1 stood outside the cell on a stool because T was not tall enough and talked to him through the wicket.” “At the County Jail, at cell 29, on the 22a of September, did "this 'defendant show you a small envelope addressed to Messrs. Dickinson & Deuprey and marked *To be opened ii I am convicted and returned unopened to me if I am not convicted ” Dickinson—I object. That is not admissible, | and no foundation has been laid for it. The court—If it is admissible at all what other foundation could be laid for it? Mr. Barnes—I make the offer not in the light of an extrajudicial confession, but to_show that in other piaces and at other times the de- fendant has made statements contrary (o and inconsistent with his testimony as a witness. The court—Of course we are only dealing now with the tesiimony as to the envelope. That was brought out in cr and was nota part of the main examination. Would it not be permitting a forced inference asto the contents of that envelope to permit the question? It might be argued that the envelope contained either a confession of guilt or a protestation of innocence, There is lothing to show the contents of that en- I believe no offer is made of that. it would be dangerous 1o admit th ion, for it would open a world of specula- ques tion to the jury and be liable to confuse their | minds. IEhall’sustain the objection, Barnes (resuming the examination)—Did you | visit Durrant at the jail on the 1st of Oc- er? you have an interyiew with him “1did.” ‘“In the course of that interview and fn ref- erence to Emmanuel Baptist Church, did Mr. Durrant say to you,‘When I was fixing the sunburners I heard a noise in the belfry. I followed up the noise to the belfry and looked | through an opening and there saw the body of Blanche Lamont on the Second landing. She was murdered on the second landing?’ Dickinson—I object; that is not admissible as a confession and is not rebuttal testimony. tand the defendant testi- the morning of April3 at Gough and Sutter streets, and that_he did dead or alive. Now, if that be correct, t had a right to cross-examine nim on’ that point and they have & right now to prove, if they can, that_atother times and places the defendant made statements inconsistent with atements on the stand. I think there can be no doubt of its admissibility and shall per- mit the question. The question was once more read to Miss Cunningham, and she answered: “‘He made that statement to me.” “At the time and place designated by my question? “Yes, sir.”” *“This was on October 1, and you had visited him almost every day since August 187" “Yes, sir.” The court—About whom were you speaking when you held this conversation? “0f Blanche Lamont.” “At that same time or at some other time did not this take place or was not this said 2" “Mr. Barnes, there was no mention of the sweet-pea girl that night. 1 did give a note to Mr. Durrant after he had finished telling me all thi ad promised I would be & f n and tell this story on the He said: ‘Will you promise to tell the 1 had an under: ing with Durrant from the first, that I was not to publish in the paper anything he told me, without his con- sent that I should do so. 1 seid to him, ‘That is a great newspaper story.’ 1 promised I would not publish the story, but I did not kiss any Bible. I held up my hand like this, but I did not know Durrant had & Bible.” ““Your promise was then in relation to the publication of the story? “Yes, sir.’ “And you did not publish {t7" I did not publish it,” “And it has not been published since?” “It has not been published since.” “Ind you have a versation with the de- on October “Idid.” “Did the following occur: Did vou say, ‘Are it was the second landing where you “How did the interviews take place; did you | 1] xamination | that he last saw Blanche Lamount alive on | not see her again, | I was.” i «It was part of your duties to go to the jafl? 1 ever meet Durrant prior to the time isited the jail?” ime did you go to the jailon Au- gust 187 “I think in the afternoon.” s How did you make ¥ elf known tohim ? “I think one of the j; ers told him 1 was there to speak With him?’ = “‘How long did this interview lfl!’:? = «Not very long—about fifteen minutes; but he told me then that he would not talk to me for the papers.”” o “Did you inform him of your eapacity?

I | Mays, an expert on mental diseases. Peix- | otto examined Dr. Mays. Under preliminary questions Dr. Mays said he had been a practicing physician for twenty-one years and had made a specialty of mental diseases. He had been, he said, an assistant physician in the Stockton Insane Asylum for a year and a balf, and had been its superintend- ent for two years. He claimed to be an expert on mental diseases and insanity. eixotto’s first questions referred to the hallucinations and delusions which arise | from a constant reading of sensational | topics of the day. 3 | Dickinson lodged an objection to this | question. The court then suggested that elusions and not haliucinations had been the subject of inquiry in the preyious tes- timony, and Peixotto changed his ques- tion t “Will the constant reading of & person of sound mind upon & certain topic create a de- | lusion in his mind?” | "I think not.”” | . “How may such a condition of mind be pro- | ducea?” Dickinson put in a fruitless objection, and the substance of the witness’ answer was that when such a case was presented it could always be found that the subject was originally weak-minded. The court then asked for a little light on the difference between hallucinations and delusions, and the witness went into a long discussion of the subject. 3 Dr. Mays was then asked about illumi- | nating gas, and this quesfion was put to | bim: { “Suppose we have a subject in normel physi- | cal nealth, of the age cf about 24, weighing | about 120 ‘pounds; suppose our subject desires to make some alterations or repairs in a gas- burner and proceeds to the burner, which con- | sists of a circular gaspipe about 18 inches in | dismeter, with twenty-four gas jets in it, that is contained in circular cylindrical contri- | vance, with a flue leading up and out to the ‘ outer air; that our subject before going up to the burner turns on the gas, an illuminating gas which from chemical analysis is shown to | contain from 15 to 20 per cent of rbonic ox- ide; that our subject removes three plates, making an aperture sufficient to insert his head, lies down flat on his stomach, inserts his hard and head into the opening, in a position like that shown in the diagram, and remains e on | there three, four or five minutes, workit the fixture and breathing that atmosp! thus charged with gas—what in all probabi would be the physical condition of a subject after submitting to these conditions?” | Dickinson ob%ecled because the question | was not entirely based upon the testi- mony in the case, and in pursuance of his objection the question was changed'a little, but still it did not suit. The court finally decided that the question had better be withdrawn until it could be made to more accurately fit the eyidence. Once more the question was fixed up, and was read to | the witness. He answered: “I think such insensibili | “What is thee | taining 15 fect of illuminating gas con- per cent of cerbonic oxide?” { quantities rapid insensibility; it more than small quantities the insensibility becomes very profound, the whole the body becomes flushed, and coma ensues. The reddening of the surface of the body is & | well established fact.”” JUDGE MUR®PHY LISTENS TO DR. TOXIC EFFECTS OF -~ MAYS' DISQUISITION ON THE ILLUMINATING. GAS, [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] “‘Mr. Barnes, he did not tell me he saw her killed.” Dickinson asked tbat this be stricken out, as not being responsive to the ques- tion, and the court ordered it out. Then Barnes proceeded to repeat what had already been mentioned where Miss Cunningham had asked particularly if the belfry stairs were not in the way so that the second floor could not be seen, and also about the spots on the picture frame which Durrant had said were made by water. To this Miss Cunningham said, “Yes, such a conversation took place.” Dickinson objected to the question, and Barnes withdrew it only to repeat it in a different form, asking if Durrant had not said there was no blood on the picture; it was only water. “He said that last clause,” Miss Cunningham answered, “but those were not his words.” ““Is the remainder of the conversation as I haye stated it correct?” es, sir.” ‘‘Can you change that sentence and put it as he put it?” ‘He said there wasn’t any blood. There wasn’t any blood at all. This ended the direct examination, and Dickinson commenced his questioning. “Did you keep notes of your visits to the j._x‘llr;’gz,l vbenu.p o ot ! ‘“And you are able to state exactly when you meade those visits?” ‘es, sir.” L !‘What was the first occasion that you visited the jail?"” “I didn’t keep a note of the first times I went.” jn"%'hm dia you first commence to visit the n August 18" “You were then on the Chrouicle?” The court—Then instead of becoming pale his face would redden? > “Yes, instead of being pale he would red- en.” ““What is the cause of the reddening of the body?” continued Dickinson. “The mingling of the poisonous gas with the blood, and the driving of the blood out- ward.” “Su; affect bility, signs “Collapse and loss of strength approaching insensibility and redness of the surface.’” “If he had inhaled suflicient to nearly to eause insensibility would the mere breatning of fresh air bring him back to consciousness?” The defense objected, but the objection was overruled. “No. The more breathing of fresh air would not prove curative. There is a certain amount of virulent poison in the system; it is more than a mere asphyxiation.” Another hypothetical question was then En to the witness. He was asked what kind of a case of gas inhalation it was where a man had, after working under the circumstances previously described, gone walking across the rafters of a roof, down & twenty-foot ladder and then lifts the lad- der, weighing about forty pounds, down from the aperture by the rafters and lays itin its place, goes fo the gascock and as- certains by trial that his work has been a success; then goes down a flight of stairs, across an aunditorium, then down_ twenty pose the person had taken sufficlent to im, but not enough to produce insensi- what would be the outward physical Steps more across a room twenty-five feet Wwide, then goes to the opening in a fold- ing-door and appears to a friend with hair disheveled, face pale and eyes congested and then asks for bromo-seltzer, which, when taken, nauseates him ? Dickinson objected, and the Judge sus- tained the objection because, he said, the prosecution could not impeach a witness in that manner, and the question was not allowed. “What are the facial symptoms of great ex citement caused by some great deed or crimi- nal act, such as murder ?” was then asked. An objection to this was sustained, and then the cross-examination began. Dick- inson then described the reflector over the sunburner, and asked if under such con- ditions as he mentioned a man would be insensible in a few minutes. I should think so,”” said the witness. “Then would he necessarily inhale a suf- ficient quantity ‘I should think he would in two or three minutes.” *Is it not a fact that in a large room if there were a small escape of gas at the ceiling the whole atmosphere of the room would become impregnated with the odor o that one open- ing the door would smell it ?” “Yes; Ithink that is the case. Iwould de- d, of course, upon the quantity of gas es- ng.” erson leaning over, as has been de- scribed, and fixing the gasburners, would he “I did.” “What did you do with them?” “I took them home.” “Did you haye an interview with any member of the detective force about this matter prior to October 107" “No, sir.” ““Were you present in court when these ques- tlons were asked Durrant?” “Part ot the time.” “At whose instance did you make a search for the notes?"” ‘At my own, I wanted to look over them.” “Did you take other notes except those lost ?” “Yes,” sir. I often took notes, but al S dlestmyed these immediately after using them.” “When did you last visit Mr. Durrant?” “I think it was on_the evening of the 9th— the might after I had talked to Mr. Barnes,” “Did you have a conversation with him then?” sir; he had retired.” id you visit him on the 8th of October?” 'Yes, sir.” How long?” “Some time, T suppose; you were there then.” ‘“Yes, I remember that; after I went away di’dlyé)_\a Tesume your conversation with him?” i MISS CARRIE CUNNINGHAM AS SHE AFPEARED WEILE VEALING DURRANTI’S SECRETS. be compelled to take large inhalations in order | to sustain life 7 “Ishould think he would be apt to take deep | inhalations to prevent the gas from overcom- | ing him entirely.” | *Do you think there would be any danger to | & person who understood his business and knew his_position, who should remain inhal- | ing the amount of gas-laden atmosphere, as de- | seribed, for from one-half to three and’a half | minutes?” “That would depend entirely upon the cir- cumstances—upon how much gas he inhaled.” When the cross-examination of the ex- vert was concluded, Miss Cunningham | came back to the witness chair, to be | | | furher questioned by Mr. Dickinson. “What was the next time that you visited Mr. Durrant after the 18th of August?” “The next day.” “Did you see him on the 20th of August?” “I think ] aid. I went there every day.” “On the 21st? ‘I presume £0."” “When did you commence to keep notes of your visits?” *‘On the 17th of September.” “Can you state whether you saw him on the 22d of August?” ot positively. It is very likely that I did.” ‘How about the 23d 7" “I am not sure—but I went every day.” “In August what was your object in visiting im?” went for the paper.” Did you converse with him?” “I did.” “Did you use any of these conversations in articles that you published?” “Idid, but I never published anyth ing with- out previously telling him of it.” “Prior to the 17th of September had there been any intimation conveyed to Durrant that you visited him in any other capacity than that of & reporter?” “He knew I was on the paper.” “Did sou furnish Lim with reading matter?” 1 di “*What was it?” “The weekly papers.” “‘When did you first bring them?” “I commenced the first Sunday after the 18th of August.” “At whose instance did you bring them?” | T offered to do it.” “How long did you continue to bring him the w 4 weeks ago last Sunday.” i was the Sunday before these questions “It was.” “Did you send or take “‘1 usually took them.” #Did you send him any daily papers “Yes the morning papers—THE CALL, Chroni- cle and Examiner.” 'Nm the week = ou for them?” v supplied to him?™ ¢ through the office.” «Is it customary for reporters to register when they visit the jail?” “I don’'t know.” “Did you register?” “Sometimes.” “Did you ever send him anything besides the papers?”’ “Isent him flowers once. “Were they returned to you?” “No, sir; the jailer kept them. He sald that flowers were not allowed the prisoners.” ‘‘Were you on the Chronicle then?” Yes, sir.” ‘You went to the Examiner after these ques- tions were put to Durrant?” “I went the night before.” “On the Chronicle were you a salaried repor- ter or were you paid for what you obtained—a space-writer?” “I was salaried.” “The whole time?” “No, sir; but when I was puton thiscase I was also put on a salary.” “If you obtained a ‘scoop’ you were entitled to extra compensation for it from your paper— were you not?” “1 did not consider so. The Chronicle ver; rarely pays a bonus. The city editor himself told me it was very unusual foy the Chronicle to pay a bonus for i ‘scoop.” “When did he tell you that?” “When I took himthe Mrs. Leak story.” “Did you have any conversation wiih Dur- rant ebout the Leak story?” “PerhapsIdid; I don’t remember exactly.” “In August how long were your visits to the defendant?” “I couldn’t state that,” *“Two hours?” “I couldn’t state.” ‘‘You used to stay a good while, didn’t you?” “Oh, yes, sir.” The two hands of the clock now pointed to XIIand the noon recess was taken. e THE AFTERNOON SESSION. Miss Cunningham Admits That She Took Chewing Gum to Durrant and Once Sent Flowers. When court convened in the afternoon Miss Cunningham again resumed the stand and Mr. Dickinson went on with guestions. ‘‘Have you your notebook with yout’ he asked. “I have not,” “When did you see 1t last?” “October 8;°I lost it after that.” “Where did you see it then?” “At my house.” *Did you look for 1¢?” “Yes, §ir; several times.” wWhat kind of a notebook did you have?” “Ihad a small book for dates and wrote my notes on copy paper.” “You have lost both of these?” “Yes, sir.” “Have {ou searched diligently for them?” “Yes, sir.” “How do you fix October 8 as the last day you saw them?"" ‘geuuu that is the day I made a statement to Mr. Barnes.” “Where was it made?” .In Mr. Barnes’ office, this building.” “What time?’ “Between 5 and 6 o’clock.” “Did_you hav ur date book and co; paper thaa P ‘e your PY | point out her signatures thereon. “For how long?” “Some time; I couldn’t state exactly.” Did you visit him on the 7th?” «I think I did.” +Qn the 5th of October did you visit him?” “How long did you remain?” I don’t remember.”” On the 4th ?" “Ithink so.” “On the 3d?" “Yes, sir; I think I went every day.” “Ou the 242" “Yes, sir.”" Mr. Dickinson led the witness through the calendar dates and then showed her the register of the jail and asked her to When she had done this she was asked about the time she left the Chronicle and went to the Examiner. ‘“You took an oath that you would not pub- lish these things?” “Idid, and I kept it.” “‘Did you tell Durrant you would bring stor- ies from the Mission to him?" “1don't recollect of having done so.” “At the time you were visiting him did you see Mr. Gibson 7'’ “On, yes; Isaw him nearly every day.” “Who else did you see who have been wit- nesses in this case?’ Cheney'’s lecture, and that at Dr. Hansen’s lecture Durrant was not present. General Dickinson, Mr, Barnes said, had_asked general questions regarding the actions of Durrant on the afternoon of April 3, and he, therefore, thought the way clear for Hall’s evidence. The objection was sus- tained, however, and Ha!f was called from | the stand. Dr. Julius Rosenstirn came forward as the next, and, as it proved, the last wit- | ness of the day. He said he had practiced medicine and surgery for twenty years in this city and for a number of years in Ger- many. He claimed to be qualified to an- swer questions on the symproms of gas in- halation, and so once more the hypotheti- cal question prepared by the prosecution was repeated. In answer the witness said: ‘““After breathing for three, four or five min- utes a combination of air and gas, where car- bonic oxide formed from 10 to 15 per cent, the probabilites are that the person would become | unconscious, or at least intoxicated, and would shiow sympuoms of the inhalation of gas.” “What are the outward symptoms?" “A person would go through three stages. He would feel & burning pain_in the face and head, a pulsating in the temples and arteries, the face would be full of h‘nod. the mucous membranes will become a deeper red and he would see things before his eyes. That repre- sents the stages from consciousness to uncon- sciousness. He may have sensations of & pleas- | ant or unpleasant kind, and then unconscious- ness.” “What are the marked symptoms?”’ *“A marked flushing of the faceand a tinge of redness to the visible mucous membranes.” “‘How long does that continne?” “It is liable to continue quite & time; say an hour, or two hours.” “Can you explain the causes of the redness or flushing?” _“The blood becomes cherry red by the com- bination of the monoxide of carbon with the coloring material in the blood.” +Is this your actual experience?” “I have seen in my practice, two cases of the first stage of gas poisoning, but I have seen many cases of asphyxiation.” *In those two cases were -the symptoms as you have stated?” “They were."” “And they were similar to those described in me({xcfll works?” r. There was flushing or redness of the face?” General Dickinson then commenced to cross-examine. ‘“‘Does not nausea follow in many cases of gas poisoning?” “Yes, sir.” “In what proportion must the air and gas be mixed 80 a¢ to cause death 7’ “That depends upon the individual, but I should think that in three minutes, in an atmosphere containing fifteen parts of ¢carbonic gxide, one should be affected in s marked egree.” “Give us some idea of the percentage the atmosphere should contain to destroy dogs or rabbits?” “Dogs and rabbits are easily killed; fifteen or twenty per cent would be certain to render th ; unconscious in from four to five utes.” n human greater or less “Ordinarily they are about as susceptible as thesc animals.’ “What are the s_\‘m?mms of the first stage?"” ‘Dizziness,nauses, flushing, temporal arteries | beings is the susceptibility | uppose a person in this first stage passed into an atmosphere iree from gas, would he | recovor immediate! | ‘“The result of the intoxication would | gredually go away, as the carbonic oxide woutd | be gradually eliminated from the blood.” “What is the shortest time this recovery would consume?”’ “After such a condition it would take at least an hour.” “How long could & man work over asun- burner such as has been described and under such circumstances?”’ “He might operate there five minutes, but | that ought to bring him to the first stage. | “Might he regulate his breathing so as to allow himself to work longer?” **No, he must breathe a certain amount,” “Is it not possible to regulate and reduce the number of breaths?”’ ‘Yes, but the me amount must be in- haled. | . “What would become of the gas in the sun- { burner deseribed 1o you?” | “It would be diffused into the afr.” “How soon would it do this?’ “It would take some little time."” Then Peixotto asked if the upward tendency of gas escaping under pressure would not make it ascend before diffusing, | and the doctor said it would. This ended the examination of Dr. NEW TO-DAY. e MUNYON'S Glorious Victory, 84,725 Vials of His Remedies Sold by Druggists Buring the Past Twenty-Three Days in San Franciseo. CAUTION.—The Munyon H. H.R.

JULIUS ROSENSTIRN TRIES TO SHIELD HIS HANDSOME FACE FROM THE ARTISTS WHILE TELLING THE DURRANT JURY ABOUT GAS INHALATION. [Sketched (notwithstanding) by a “‘Call” artist.] “Elmer and Clarence Wolf, Dr. Vogel and his son, Dr. Gibson, Mr. Lynch and others that I can’t recollect by name just now.” “Did you ever send Durrant any chewing um 2" “Oh, several times.” “Order!” shouted the bailiff so sternly that even Judge Murphy ceased to smile. “‘Did you have a conversation with him about the sweet pea girl?” “Yes, sir.” “And you finally wrote about it?" “No, sir; 1 did not write that story.” 4] Durrant ask you whether you were em- ployed by the prosecution?” “Yes, sir; he did.” “What did you_tell him about your working for Captain Lees?” “Itold him I had no connection whatever with Captain Lees or with any member of the prosecution, and that I was only & newspaper Teporter. Which was true.” G. A. B. Hall, who called the roll and kept the records of attendance at Dr. Han- sen’s lectures at Cooper College, was then called. “How many times a week did Dr. Hansen lec- ture?” he was asked. “Twice a week,” was the reply. “On what days?” “On Mondays and Wednesdays.” “‘Were the students required " to be present at those lectures?” “‘They were required to attend the one on Mo th ired to be ““Were they requir resent at the Wednesday lectures?"” x> “Yes, sir.” Dickinson objected once more to the line of testimony being introduced and Barnes was asked to explain what he hoped to prove.
