Coino Startling Testimony Expected or the
Young Medical Student Is Surely
Doomed A Mere Guess at Wluit the De
fense. Will Urine Forth Witnesses Who
Testified Yesterday.
SanFkancisco, Sept. 25. Tho case of
the prosecution in the trial of Theodore
Durant closed yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday was spent in putting the fin
ishing touches to tho testimony against
tho accused. Witnesses wore sum
moned to strengthen tho entire case by
filling in the weak places. The chiof
point which the prosecution sought to
establish yesterday w.is that Durant
had said that the last time he had seen
Miss Lamont was whon ho parted with
her on tho morning of April 8 she go
ing to school, he to tho Cooper medical
college. In all his statements regard
ing the disappearance of Blanche La
mont the deteiidaut stuck to the decla
ration. Detective Anthony, who ar
lested Durant, testified yesterday that
Durant had made that statement to him
when returning to tho city after the
arrest.
Dr. Thomas A. Vogcl. a member of
the Emanuel church, stated that Da
rant hud to him the Sunday after tho
disappearance of Miss Lamont, made
tho same statement about tho last timo
ho had seon her. Tho prosecution ex
pects to score a strong pome by demon
strating to tho jury that tho prisoner
made f.uo statements regarding his
movements, and tho associations with
the girl ho is charge with having inur
deied. The district attorney, it is said,
will uco tins as the basis of an argu
ment that Durant's first statements
were inspired by a sinister motive, if ho
had nothing to hide, it is argued, ho
would have told the truth ubout his
last meeting with the girl.
William Stirling, u gas fitter, ex
plained tne work ho periormed in put
ting now tips ou the gas burners. Ho
bald that on April 2, when he loft the
church, no gas was escaping. On April
4 ho returned to the church and no es
caping gas was noticed. Attorneys for
the deienso cross-examined this witness
at leunth, tho intention ueiug to show
that an immense quantity of gas es
caped whllo the rctMirs were in
piogiess, the object being to justify tho
a&aeinon made by Durant that he was
overcome by gas fumes in tho bolfry.
Dr. O. E. Barnuni, demonstrator of
anatomy at Ccoper medical college, tes
tified that the blocks placed under the
dead body of Blancho were laid m tho
same manner us under a subject in a
dissecting room.
Harrv Rurnlge, a fellow student of
DnraiiL's, swore that about a week after
Luiueoe disappeared Durant told him
that tno girl had either met with foul
piay or nail been led astray.

Cleveland, Sept. 25 Delegates to
the first annual convention of tho Deep
Waterways association, which assem
bled here yesterday afternoon for a
threo days' session, constitute a repre
sentative bady. Tho American con
gress, tho Dominion parliamont, big
cities on both sides of the international
boundary, great universities and scien
tific associations, boards of trado and
organizations of engineers and vessel
owners all forces iu tho commerco and
civilization of tho American continent
aro represented.
Thero aro among tho delegates men
prominent in the scientific, educational,
commercial, financial and industrial
world and all aro inspired by a com
mon pnrposo to break tho fetterw
which have heretoforo bound tho com
merco of tho great lakes by opening a
deep waterway to the sea. The con
vention may not bo able to provide tho
means for making tho great national
improvement, but will discuss the ways
and endeavor to select the best manner
of doing so.
They will boom tho project for a 20
foot channel from the lakes to salt
water.
As good an authority as ex-Secretary
Warner Miller has said that tho next
congress will bo a waterway congress.
It will bo tho aim of tho association to
convince congress that it is tho highest
interest of millions of people living in a
score of states to build a deep channel
to tho sea. Whether it bo by the way
of tho Hudson or the St. Lawrence is as
yet undetermined.
A 21-foot channol from Duluth to
Buffalo will bo completed in Novomber.
A J 4-foot channel now leads by tho way
of tho St. Lawronco to tho Atlantic.
Farmers who raise grain and tho cattle
raisers of the west would bo most bene
fited by the channel. It would open to
lake port manufacturers an opportunity
to solid their products by boat, the
cheapest possiblo freight to all parts of
tho world. Opposition is expected from
Buffalo, Quobec and Moutroal cities
that would lose much of their import
ance as transfer points.
