DURRANT’S STULY.

The Accused Man Takes the Stand in His Own Behalf. '

Minutely Describes His Movements oa April 3 in Order to Esiabiish an - Alibi—Strongly Denies Elis Murder of Miss Lamont.

Sax Fraxcisco, Oct. 10.—The sensation of the defense in the Durrant case was introduced Wednesday, when Theodore Durrant took the stand. He walkked to it with a firm step and related his story of what transpired on the 3d of April with characteristic coolness. He was permitted to trace his movements from} the time he left his home in the morning until he retired at night.l He said that he started from his home to visit that of Organist King, but on the way met Blanche Lamont, who was standing on a corner waiting for a car, as she said she was late for' school. Durrant at her suggestion.i nccompanied her as far as the school ‘while he himself went to Cooper college, where he remained until noon. | At the intermission he left the college for half an hour. On returning he learned that the early afternoon lecture had been postponed. He: then walked a few blocks with another student, remaining away from the college| about an hour. He mentioned two students with whom he conversed at| the college after noon. One of these, Student Diggins, has already testi fied that he had a conversation, a$ stated by Durrant, but he did .not remember the date. Durrant said he attended the lecture of Dr. Cheney, that afternoon, which began at 3:30 and lasted forty-five minutes. He saidf he remained at the lecture until its close and took notes, which were produced and put in evidence. . These notes, as iantroduced, were made by him at the lecture. | After the lecture Durrant said he left the college and went by car to within a block of the church, and thence walked. to it, entering it by the rear door. He went to the library room, there left his coat and then went to the auditorium Hoor. Ilis purpose in going to the ¢hurch was to fix the vibrastor on the electric aparatus connected with one of the sunburners, and he ictended to first reach this by going up to the. attic in the rear part of the church. He did start up that way, but changed his mingd and went Tup Me-the gallery in front, leaving a door in the| rear open. In the gallery he turned the gas partly on and then ascended to. the space occupied by the sunburners by means of a ladder. He repaired the electric vibrator on one of the burners, thea tried all the-jets to see that they would light from the electric spark, and finding everyli' thing satisfactory descended to th? gallery and turned off the gasl While working on the vibrator the odor of gas nauseated him amd made him feel faint From.the gallery where he turned off the gas there was a staircase in front by which he could have descended to the library room on the lower floor where his coat was, but instead of taking. it he passed through the auditorium of the church and went down a rear staircase to tha floor bLelow where Organist King was practicing on 4 piano. His reason for going this Wa;l was that he desired to close the rear door he had left open when he changecfl his mind about the way he should gp to the sunburners. Durrant said hie heard King playing on the piano whili;e he was at work on the sunburner, and knew King was in the Sunday school room below when he went thither. Had he desired to do so he might have gone down the front staircase, got hJTs coat and left the church unknown to King, who did not have a view of the front part of the edifice. | ~ Durrant’s description of ~what oi; curred when he came into the room where King was, agreed with what King had testified to. hile King was absent to get him some bromo selt-zex{', Durrant said he lay down on a platform .with his hands under his head and rested till King returned.

Durrant said that when he took off his coat in the library he looked at his watch and saw'it was 4:35, or thirty-five minutes later than the witnesses far the prosecution testified they saw him near the church with Blanche Lamonit. Durrant said he never saw the girl for whose murder he stands charged after he left her at school on the morning of April 3. » ! The most dramatic of the incidents of the day was when his counsel came to ask him directly about the murder. Every ear in the crowded court room was bent to hear his answers, whic¢h were deiwered in a clear, ealm voice, without feeling of any kind. He . denied that he was at the normal schoo!, where two wi_tnessjes swore they saw him, or on the car with Blanche Lamont, where three witnesses claimed to have seen him. Lastly, he said he did not accompany Blanche Lamont or anyone else to the church. Then his counsel solemnly asked him: ;

*“Did you ever participate, dirsetly or indirectly, in any violence on the person of Blanche Lamont?” ' “‘Never,” replied the accused man. | “Did you kill or participate in the killing of Blanche Lamont, in this city and county, on the 5d of April, oriat any other place at any time?” he was then asked. { . He replied: “I did not.” ARMENIAN CHURCHES CLOSEiD. Police of Constantinople Adopt Extrefino .

THE TURK’'S REPLY.

Porte Answers the Joint Note of Foreign Diplomats. k

CONSTANTINOPLE,Oct. 12.—The porte's reply to the joint note of the six powers relative to the recent rioting here has been made public. The government enumerates the steps that were taken to maintain order. and declares that Mussulmans were not the aggressors in the rioting. It further says that the Armenians killed inoffensive Mohammedans, and that in certain cases the Mohammedans had to defend themselves against their attacks. The reply denies the reports that the government forbade the sending of supplies to the Armenians who had sought refuge in the churches, and declares' that the refugees will seon leave the churches and return to their homes, and the city will resume its normal aspect. It is announced that the government isabout to open an inquiry for the purpose of discovering the guilty persons, ard recommends the diplomats to use their good offices with a view to the restoration of order, especially as the intrigues of agitators cause fears that more serious outbreaks may occur in the capital. The presence of the British fleet at Semnos, at the entrance to the Dardanelles, continues to cause anxiety to the sultan, and he has made a second appeal to Sir Philip Currie. the British ambassador, to secure the withdrawal of the British warships. Thus far his appeal, like . the first ane. has been without avail. This leads to the belief among the foreign residents that Great Britain intends to persist in her demands, even though the other powers should declare themselves as satisfied with the concessions the porte has announced itself as being willing to make. Thursday evening the plan of the ambassadors to have their dragomans assist in procuring the evacuation of the churches by the refugees was put into effect and the churches were vacated in their presence, the goveérnment having positively undertaken that the refugees should not be molested. 'Thus one of the incitements to further trouble has been removed.
