DURRANT CONSPIRACY
Smythe Alleged to Have
Made a Confession.
MORE OF THE VILLAINOUS SCHEME
Be Denounced Some of tbe Testimony
of the Prosecution as Abso
lutely Unworthy Belief
Deuprey Talks.
San Francisco, Oct. 29. General
Dickinson resumed bis argument on be
half of the defendant when the trial of
Theodore Darrant began this morning,
lie blamed the police for not making a
closer examination of the belfry where
Miss Lamont'a body was found. The
examination, he said, might have shown
some clew that would have put the po
lice on the track of the real murderer,
instead of compelling them to accuse an
innocent man of the crime. With refer
ence to Martin Quinlin, he said he be
lieved the fact had been established that
Qninlin'a testimony was not worthy of
belief.
Oppenheira's" testimony was picked to
pieces and the conclusion drawn that
Oppenheim was not telling the truth.
Phillips, who corroborated Openheim's
testimony, was said to have "so bad a
reputation at Victoria, B. C, that little
credence should be given to what he
eaid."
Dickinson said he had but little to say
about the testimony of Miss Gunning
ham. He said that he preferred that
. she should be convicted of treachery
and deceit by words that came from her
own mouth. He said that her story was
unnatural, improbable, disconnected
and absolutely untrue.'
Dickinson closed by appealing to the
jury to bear in mind that the strength
of the chain of circumstantial evidence
was only equal to its weakest link. The
pivotal point in the whole case, he said,
was Dr. Cheney's roll-call, which shows
that Darrant was at the Cooper medical
college on the a'ternoon that Blanche
Lamont was murdered. The whole case
centered around the call, which he be
lieved had been amply corroborated by
Dr. Cheney and the student who called
the roll. He said the prosecution had
produced no testimony which proved
that Durrant, whose character had been
good all. his life, had suddanly been
transformed into a monster, when it is
alleged he strangled Blanche Lamont.
He urged the jury to disregard all public
clamor and opinions of the press in ar
riving ata conclusion, and then, he said,
the defense would be satisfied, no mat
ter what the verdict migbt be. Dickin
eon concluded his argument nt 11:50,
and then, on motion of District Attor
ney Barnes, a recess was taken until 2
o'clock, when Attorney Deuprey will
make the closing argument for the de
fense. Deuprey is still weak from his recent
illness, and will not speak for more than
two hours. A recess will then be taken
until tomorrow morning, when District
Attorney Barnes will make the cicsing
argument for the prosecutionr

Great and Destructive Storms Pre
vailing in lllcUlgnn.
Detroit, Oct 29. Ail records of the
weather office for years were broken by
Monday's cold wave and Northwest gale.
In Detroit iu the morning the thermo
meter was 28 degrees. The wind at
tained a fearful velocity, so much so
that the sand dunes at St. Joseph were
shifted and hundreds of tons of sand
blown across tbe railroad tracts. From
numerous points in the state came the
report of wind and snow storms and
bitter cold weather. From School
craft it is reported that sand and dust
storms of great fury prevailed for 48

hours, the air filled with sand which
makes it difficult to be out of doors. No
such weather has ever been experienced
and thousands of dollars of damage
has been done to the celery crop in Ka
lamazoo and at other points through the
state. The Newberry celery crop is ut
terly ruined. Reports from tbe upper
peninsula at Sault Ste Marie, state a
general snow storm is prevailing in that
region. ,
Opposed to Utah's Statehood.
Salt Lake, Oct. 29. The Tribune
prints a column article today, stating
that circulars are being -sent out from
Ogden to all voters in the-territory for
the purpose of defeating statehood. The
circular is beaded: "The Danger of
Statehood." It deals largely in statis
tics, showing the cost of running the
state government, and closes by saying
that statehood will add $500,000 to the
burden of the people. It is claimed
that the circulars are sent out by Fred J.
Kiesel, who was a democratic member
of the recent constitutional convention
and that a list of voters had been ob
tained from the records of the Utah com
mission. Athletic Clnb Officers Arrested.
Hot Springs, Oct. 29. Mannr J.
Vendig and Secretary Vheelock76f the
Florida Athletic Club, were arrested
this afternoon on warrants charging
them with conspiring to commit a breach
of the piece. Both were promptly re
leased on bonds. This is another shrewd
move to head off the attorney-general,
who was preparing to have them arrest
ed upon a similar charge and carried to
Little Rock for trial. If Fitzsimmons
succeeds in getting here, there will be a
"mill," unless the governor should run
in a equad of militia, which is not prob
able. Woman KuiVrage VoteU Down.

great speech declaring that by enfran
chising women with a property qualifi
cation the white people could carry elec
tions by fair and honest methods and by
no other way could they do it. He
characterized- the suffrage plan of Sena
tor Tillman as a temporary fraudulent
makeshift.
