But L.ittle Hope For the Medical Student.

They U:ive Introduced All of the Evidcnco

That They Have to Refute the Mass of

Testimony riled Up by the l'«ople—Another Hay's Developments iu the Cele

brated 31 urdcr Trial.

STOKEiSHfi

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.—If the manner in which the attorneys for tho detonse the trial of Theodore Durant case is any iudicali of their position, the prosecution believes the development's of yesterday leave little doubt of tlie prisoner's conviction. To the surprise of everybody, the defense yesterday afternoon Derail the culling of witnesses to show ttie previous £ood character oi tiio young banday school superintendent

By the prosecution this step is interpreted. to mean that the detense had introduced all of the evidence it has to relute tlie mass of testimony piled up by the people. If this be true the verdict of the jury is a foregone conclusion. Not only has the dei'tnse tailed to establish an ahbi for Durant, but it has and

actually strengthened the ease against the prisoner. Miss Cunningham, the newspaper reporter, who was threatened with imprisonment because she would not answer a question propounded to her by the defense, was called to the stand again to give her an opportunity to answer the question. She refused to divulge the source of her information with regard to the nature of Mrs. Leake's testimony, but instead of sending her to prison the court took the matter under advisement until next Tuesday. In a similar case the supreme court of California sustained the position of a newspaper reporter, and the court is in doubt of its power in the premises.

Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of the Emanuel church, was called by the defense for the purpose of identifying specimens of his handwriting. The witness refused positively to identify any of the specimens handed to him. He said the writing looked like his own, but as the document had not been in his possession for some time, if at all, lie could not possibly identity the writing. At tlie request of Attorney Duprey, Mr. Gibson printed the name and address of Mrs. T. G. Noble, Blanche Laniont's an tit. He also wrote several specimens of the district attorney's name, which were introduced iu evidence.

Tlie writing of Rev. Gibson will play an important part- in the future proceedings, as Attorney Duprey announced in his opening statement that he would prove that Mr. Gibson directed tho wrapper in which Blanche Lamont's rings were returned to Mrs. Noble. fc/l'he defense summoned ex-Congress-man Henley and several other witnesses to show the bad reputation of Attorney (.^amian, who testified that on the .uternoon of April he saw Durant anti Jblanche Lament walking toward Emanuel church. Fifteen witnesses were placed on tho stand to show tlie previous good reputation of Durant. The witnesses all regarded Durant as a model young man. Not one half ever heard of his doing anytlnug wrong.

Summed up briefly, the result of the first JO days of testimony introduced by the defense is as follows: Dr. Cheney failed to testify as Attorney Duprey said he would, that Durant was present at the lecture given on the afternoon Blanche Lamont was murdered. Tlie prosecution established the fact that the rollcall book in which Durant was recorded as present at the lecture is unreliable, as another student is recorded present who testified that he was absent. To offset these two strong points gained by the prosecution, tlie defense has placed on the stand 68 students who testified that they did not answer to Durant's name at rollcall on April 3.

As next Monday is Labor day in California, court adjourned until Tuesday.

Collective Action Against Brazil.

BUENOS AYRKS, Oct. 5.—A Rio Janeiro dispatch to El Diario says that England, France and Italy have decided upon collective action with a view to securing satisfaction of their respective claims upon Brazil. The claims of France grew out of the disputed territory of Amapa, lying between Brazil and French Guiana. Italy's claims are for reparation on account of damages suffered by Italian subjects during the revolution in Brazil. The Italian minister withdrew from Rio last summer, leaving the legation in charge of an attache, to mark the strained relations between the two countries. England's claims probably relate to the island of Trinidad, which she seeks to obtain as a cable station.

CHEEK CLAIM.

Siamese Government Called on to Settle

Up at Once.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—The United States has called upon the Siamese government to settle what is known as the Cheek claim. Instructions have been sent to Mr. John Barrett, minister resident at Bangkok, to request an immediate settlement of this claim.

This claim was made to the state department some years ago by Dr. M. A. Cheek, who recently died in Siain. It was caused by the action of the Siamese government in confiscating property belonging to him. From his statement, made to the department, and other papers forwarded by Minister Barrett, it appears that Cheek entered into a contract with the Siamese government to cut the teak wood which abounds in that country and ship it to a market.

The Siamese government advanced him 600,000 lekals to assist him to buy elephants, implements, etc. Dr. Cheek, in addition, put a large sum of money into the enterprise and commenced to carry out his contract. The Siamese government became dissatisfied with his operations and without any intimation whatever seized all the property, claiming that he had broken one of the provisions of tho contract.
