Abumiß from the Lecture.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 8. —The Ex
aminer says: “One of the greatest
sensations In the Durrant case and one
which comes now as a climax with
crushing weight upon the accused has
become the property of the prosecution.
Theodore Durrant not only confessed to
a classmate that he had no notes on Dr.
Cheney’s lecture, but he begged his
friend to take his notes to his mother,
Mrs. Durrant, that hey might be cop
ied. T have no notes on that lecture,’
the accused student said, ‘and I only
need them to complete my alibi.’ When
the student to whom Durrant made the
confession takes the witness stand the
crumbling fabric of the defense will
fall. The one to whom Durrant made
the fatal acknowledgment is his class
mate and friend, Dr. Gilbert F. Gra
ham. It was not Graham’s purpose to
tell what he knew for the sake of an old
friendship, but now he tells It all just
as it occurred. In addition to that he
repeats a conversation which he had
with Attorneys Dickinson and Deuprey
a few days ago. He has even informed

Durrant made to him when Graham
