San Francisco Cal. Sept. 2(1 Tho
difensc In tlio Durrani cuso betrnnyes-
erdny with an opening statement
from Attorney Duprey. His Intlina-
llun that thu murder was committed
aot by Durraut but by Kcv. John
(!orro t'lbseti pastor of Emanuel
Mntrch motlu in a significant allusion
o tlio rescml'tunco of tho preacher's
handwriting with tho lettering on the
paper ennl aing lllanche Lament's
ring created a marked sensation. Tho
t ujurcM ui uupruy uegan Willi uetint-
b ( tious of tho duties of u juror in capital
J vases lie attacked tlio newsunnera
for tnenrticlos written and published
concorning Uurrunt and warned the
jury aguiustiiuproperdoductions from
circumstantial evidence. Duproy then
bald:
'The district nttorney lias presoat d
u strong o.i-.o of circums.amiul ovi-
denco which ut flrot would create a
btiongbUapicion of guilt of tho de-
fendant. Wo claim that beyond a.
btioug suspicion tho prosecution has
failed. tJ go We contend that with
ni tlio testimony intrudmed tho only
Nines to bo passed on lmvo not been
arrested. Where did lllaniho Lamont
forfeit her life? Wlion did she -ucet
h. r death? ho caused her death?
'J hese questions have not been an-
swered. A fourtu question is tho
cause of death. A fiftu has not
nnd can i.ot bo answered. What
wua tho motive of tlio accused
in taking the life of Iiianche
Lamont? Under tho testimony
tuus far wo ciumi to ask the court ut
this time to instruct tho jury without
one word to acquit. An a duty to tho
defendant his parents and tho com-
Jtiunitj.you are entitled to and shall
kuow where Durraut was and what ho
dii on A ril 3 fiom the time ho arose
in tho morning until lie went to bed
at night. Wo will then turn our at-
tention to soino evidence found in the
church. Wo will show that the marks
unon the bo. fry door are tho marks of
a chisel and that tho chisel was found
in tlio pxstor's study in a tool box.
W o will show you as long as they have
introduced a paper hero with letters
on it as compared with letters fiUid
i tiiUjinucl church that they are
1 ttors written by llev. John Ueorge
U'bson. If wo are to act upon
b i picions wo will show you that
tit ro are oi iters who have been cast
i to suspicion und wure than the
d-f ndunt. We will show you that on
Apr 1 J lJurrant wore a dark suit of
clothes of blue cloth while the wit-
nevs ugel said thut he had liht
trouern. Wo will bhoiv that the eye-
sight of Mrs. Leak and Mrs. t rosct
are itupared and that the loputation
of wimebs Quinlan Oppenheim and
l'i iliips lor veracity is bud. If we cm
pr .vo wliat wo have outlined now wo
should have tho spirit of lllanche La-
niont c.ill upun you to realize the
tiuhanJ if her spirit could come
before yuu it would say: 'Let the de-
fendant titan 1 out let him be free for
he harmed me not. The dore Dur-
rnut is innocent; we stani for his life;
we demand his liltortv."
After a recess Mrs. Matilda Durraut
mot in o tl e prisoner took the stanu
as the tirst witness for the defense
bhotihtill. d thut on the morning of
April 3 her son was dressed In a blue
cliovint suit tho blue t rouse ra of which
she identiflel and the garment was
in roiluc d in evidence. Mrs. Dur-
run' stated that her son returned
home that evening shortly after fl
oc ock diessed in the same blue chev-
iot su t Ho wore no overcoat. (She
testified that tlio trousers were made
to i rder by a local tnilur. When Theo-
dore 'eft home on the morning of
Apr 1 3 he kissed his mother good by
and saluted her in the same manner
when lie. returned at night The family
dined tout evening at A: IS but the
witness said Theodore had little appe-
tite mid he did not look well. At 3
o'clock that evening ho took his moth-
er to a streetcar and when she returned
at ll 30 he was in bed asleep.
I'olico Sergeant Reynolds described
tlio chisel murks on the belfry door.
Ho searched for a tool v Ith which the
marks might have been made and in
tho pastor's study found a chisel wnich
fitted tho maiks exactly.

Wabiii.voto.v Sopt. '20. A year ago
Commissioner of Pensions Louhren
suld that tho limit hud probably been
reached in tho number of pensions or
rather in tlio u mount of the yearly
appropriation for pensions but that

would remain about the same. It wut
his opinion that there would bo u
blight reduction in tlie number of pen-
sioners on account of deaths hut that
the allowunce of the new pension with
back puy anil arrears would probably
keep tho amount about even. While
tlie amount of mony paid for pensions
will not be materially dlllei en t from
thut of pust years it appeuis thut
there hus been added to the pension
rolls during tlio year about 1000
names in excess of those that huvo
dropped out as there lias been an in-
crease instead of a decrease' Thoro

question tlio prudence of holding this

nnd hoping wo will do nothing to of-
fend English sentiment. What do wo
euro for English sentiment? Laugh-
ter. We don't want to offend Ameri-

"Tlio English press will sny that wo
