EUGENE CITY GUARD. EUGENE CITY. OREGON. IN HIS OWN BEHALF Theodore Durrant Placed on the Witness Stand. RKTAI5ED HIS I'SUAL COOLNK8S II Tells of HI Iolugs on the Day Thnt lllanrha l.smoiit Wm MonUnil la lawniwl Church. Han Francisco, Oct II. Theodore T)iirrnllt. assistant SUTeriUteudoUt of Kiiiauacl Baptist churcli Sunday school, wm placed ou the witucsastand today fur the purpose of convincing the jury selected to try him that he did Dot tuurdur Blanche Lamont in the belfry of the church April 8 last With the aamo ccolnea that hui characterized hia oouduot since hi arruHt he douied the iiriuclpal allegation that have been mudu guiiit him by the important witnesses for the prosecution. iiU an swers were always brief and to the point, anil hy many wore interpreted to mean that he had studied hi part well before taking tho stand. (July once before during the course of direct examination did lie abow any nervous neat or hesitancy. When Attorney Dickinson asked him if he took note at Dr. Cheney' lecture April a he cant hia eye to tho floor and for a moment wu silent lie replied tluit he hud taken notes: but that they were very brief. The hesitancy of the prlaouer may be understood wheii it ia explained thut Gilbert F. tsrahum. ono of JJur rant' moHt lntiinato frleuda testified tlmt Durrant asked to borrow hia note of the lecture. When the request wa made Duirant explained that he only needed the notea to complete, a good alibi. Graham refused tlie request Tukeu altogether. Durrant'a direct testimony, which ended at 3 o'clock, had a tendency to strengthen hia caw). Ilia demeanor while ou the witneaa atiiud wa certainly intended to im pros the jury with the ojiinlon thut ho waa telliiiu tho truth. Uuostloiis thut would ordinarily cauNe a viaible im prensloii upon a utility iiiuu were an swerod by Durrmit with the utmost uu concern. Even when Attorney Dell' prey asked him if ou April 8, or at any other time, he ni ordered or participated in murdering Blanche Liunont, the primmer coolly replied ill the negative. A significant feature of tho tosti inony waa tho fuut that while Durrant waa tolliug of several inuidenta that t'Hk place at prayer mooting held the veiling of April 8, Mrs. C t. Noble, llluucho I.uuiont'a aunt, ahKk her head several tiinea, at if to indiouto that the Mtatemeiita made by the pris oner, of whom alio had positive knowl edge, wen) not correct Durraut (lid not look at Mrs. Noble while he was teat ify tug. Tho purpose of the defense to curtail the crow-exumiuatioii as much aa pos nible was shown when District Attor ney Humes aiiked the first question. Durraut wai asked if ho waa not born at Toronto, Canada, April 24, 1871. Attorney Denproy objected to the qms tion. lie aaid Durraut could have no positive knowledge ou the subject, aud any belief that he might have would n based on hcurany. The oourt over ruled, aud the prisoner gave an affirm ative answer. Several other equally uuiniiMirtaut quest ions were objected to by tho defense. The objections in most raaea were overruled. It wits tho original intention of the defense to recall Lenuhuu this morn ing, and have him toll about the oc casion upon which ho tried to pawn a ring at Oppenheiiu'a shop. Lonuhuu contradicted himaelf io many time yesterday that doubt was cast upou his testimony, and this morning he did not remind to Ida name when called in omrt. Au attchiuent wui made out for 14'iiuhah, aud when ho waa found an hour later he waa pinned In tho charge of tho sheriff, iu order that he might bo found wheu needed. Iu the meantime, however, Durraut was railed to the stand. Tho examination of Durraut began with questions relative to hi ago aud hi early lite In this oit.v. Coming dowu to the day upon which Blanche Lamont was murdered, the prisoner waa asked to relate his movemout from the time he left his home iu the morning until he rvtired at night. He aaid he mot Mis Liunont ou her way to school and rode with her ou a street cur until ho reached the Cooper medi cal college. He aaid he remained at tho college until 10 o'clock, when ho and another student named Koaa went for it walk. When ho returned, an hour later, he went to the library, where ho was engaged In hia studios uutil noon. Theu he went to luncheon with student named Dlggius, aud re turned at 1 o'clock. After luncheon Durrant remained in the library until 8:30 o'clock, when ho attended Dr. Cheney' lecture. He said he was proKout at the roll-call at tho close of tho lecture, and auaweml to hi own name. At the close of tho lecture he aaid he boarded a street car aud rode to Kmaii tiel church to repair tho sunbiirneis. He denied that he waa accompanied by Blanche Lament or anybody else. Vpou entering the church, ho said, he left hia coat and vest in the library, ou tlined the necessary tool and ascended to the gallery. A blackboard was pro vided, aud Durraut drew a rude sketch of the church aud ita tall spire to il lustrate the manner iu which he made the repair. Ho aaid to make the re pair it was ucocMutry for him to lie at full length ou a plank, with hia head much lower than hia feet While in this position he aaid, he inhaled so much gas that be w made ill. To illustrate the mauuer in which tho gas eaoaped, Durrant took a burner, aud descending to the jury box, explained the construction of the burner to the Jury. After repairing the buruer, Durraut aid he descended to the auditorium, where ho found George King playing on the organ. King remarked that Durrant looked pale, aud Durraut re plied that King would be in the aauie condition if be had been nearly over come by escaping sua. At Durrant' request King bought tome bromo selt xer, which the prisoner drank. The medicine made him feel better, aud at 6 o'clock Durrant loft the church in oompuny with King. He went out of hi way two block to converse with King, after which they separated and Durrant went home to hi dinner. Durraut vald he (till felt ill, and ate but little. In the evening be went to prayer meeting at Emanuel church. He saw Mrs. Noble and asked her if Blanche was coming to the prayer meeting. Mr. Noble replied that she did not believe her miioe wonld be present He relatod of other minor in cidouU in connection with hi conver sation with Mr. Noble, who evidently did not indorse bi itatement, from the fact that she shook her head several time. At the cloae of the service, Durraut said he went home and retired. "7...1": The story of Durraut' uiovemeui. April 8 told, Attorney Deuprey called the attention of the witneaa to the extra lock on the library door, to which only Durraut and King had key. Durraut aid he placed the lock on the door to protect the library, a the other lock was defective, lie aaid he never knew uutil after hi arrest that there wa a box of tool in Pastor Gibson' study. When showed the hatchet found in the belfry beside Ulancho Lament' body, he mid he had never een it before. In refutation of the itatement of several witnesses that Durraut wore au over coat April 8, the prisoner said he did uot wear an overcoat during the mouth of April. The next move on the part of the de fense wa to show that Durrant did not enter Pawnbroker Oppeuheim'a shop for the purpose of pawning Hlanche Lament' ring. Opponhoim testified that Durrant came into hi shop be tween 10 and 1 3 o'clock in the fore noon of some day between April 3 and April 11. The defense endeavored to establish an alibi covering the whole period. Durrant told where he wa each day, and in three Instance pro duued note of lecture which he said be attended at Cooper medical college. Durrant denied that ou the uftoruoou of April 3 he wa at the corner of I'owell aud Clay streets, a testified to by Mr. Vogel. He also denied Oie statement of the three schoolgirls, who testified that Durraut and Ulanche La niout boarded a I'owell street oar at Clay street aud rode toward Market street. He said he did not ride on west-bound Valeuoia street oar with Hlanche Lamont, aa testified by Mr. Croasett He aaid he never wa in Op penheim'a pawnshop. "Did you, npou April 3, in Sun Francisco, or elsewhere," asked At torney Deuprey, "indict any violence upon Bkncho Ijimont, or did you kill or participate in killing her?" Durrant replied that he did not, and the direct examination wa at an end. The cross-examination, which lasted only an hour before the oourt took a recess uutil tomorrow, wa confined to question relative to the life of Dur raut prior to April 3. The priaouer told at length of the important part he had taken in the affair of Kmanuel Baptist church. He said ho had at tended the church three times every Sunday and twice during the week for years. A year ago no wa cnoseu as sistant superintendent of the Sunday school.

The president ha refused to interfere in the case of Thoraa St Clair, convicted in Califor nia of murder ou the high sea, and or iginally sentenced to be hanged Sep tember 31, 1894. He ha been respited four time, the last carrying the date of execution to the 18tb Inst In hi indorsement, President Cleveland says: "Upon an examination of the merits of the application on behalf of thi con vict for executive clemency, I am fully satisfied that he, and those indicted with him, are guilty of deliberate mur der, aud I cannot find any factor or cir cumstance connected with the case which justifies a mitigation of the sen tence which the court ha pronounced." Tiro president ha also denied the ap plication for a pardon in the case of Hun Hanson, an aocomploe of St. Clair, and also convicted in California of murder on the high seas and sen tenced to be hanged Friday, October 18.1805. "The appeals fur clemency in the present case," the president says, "are o earnest and have come to me from such varioua and influential quarters, and the consideration which would in vest the granting of clemency with sat isfaction are so exceptionally strong, thut I regret the conclusion which my sense of duty has forced upon me. A thorough examination of the case hu conclusively convinced me that a cold blooded and cruel murder wa commit ted by this convict aud two other equally guilty. Tho fuct that one of them hu escaped final conviction and punishment is a failure of justice which ought not in such a case as this to operate to the advuutage of those de servedly couvicted uud sentenced. Ev ery grouud upon which the creditable aud humane appeals iu behalf of tho convict are bused fails whetl subjected to the tests of executive duty, iu it re lation to just administration of the criminal law and the safety and peace of society."
