TO PREVENT THE FIGHT.

son last night issued a pioclaniation
calling a special session of tho legisla

The governor isu'd the pioolumutiou
at midnight, afier a lengthy co.isult.i
tion with his cabinet, and gives the
Associated Prcs coiiespoudont as the
reason for his action that under tho
picsont condition of tho law the light
managers aio liable to pull of tho light
while the couits aio rowing over it;
that tho chief justice ot tho court ot
ciimiual appeals has ruled against tho
state, and now theio is a niaudanius
case pending iu tho supremo couit that
may go in an entuely inherent lino,
thus raising a conflict between tho two
highest courts in tho st-ito. In older to
settle all posiblo contention, he issued
tho call convening tho legisiatmo next
Tuesday in this city, for tho following
reasons.
"First To denounce prize lighting

DDRAMT'S AUDI FAILS
His Presence at the College on
April 3 Not Proven.
DEFENSE BADLY DISAPPOINTED.
Instead of T ntlfjlni; That Durnnt Wn
I'rritpiit nt the lecture, n Attoi ney Dti
prey Suld Or. Cheney Would Do, tho
Doctor said He Hud No Ih collection of
"eelii( the Yoiiiik 'Meillc.il student.
Sax Fium?i.co, Sept. 27. Tho key
fitono iu tho arch of Durant's alibi has
crumbled aud fell. The witness upon
whom the attorneys for the defense do
pended most to sustain theirontentiou
thut Durant was attending a lecture at
Cooper medical college at tho hour
when Blanche Lamont was murdered
Sxo disappointing testimony. Instead
of testifying that Durant was present
at tho lectuio, as Attorney Duprey said
Dr. Cheney would do, the doctor said
he hud no recollection of seeing the
young medical student.
To offset this rovorse, tin defense
gained only one point, the admission as
an exhibit of tho rollcall book at tho
college, in which Duraut was recorded
as piesent at tho lecturo given on the
afternoon of April J. Tho prosecution
holds tho rollcall book in littlo esteem,
fiom the fact that it will placo wit
nesses on the stand to prove that Du
rant frequently asked his classmates to
answer to his name when ho was ab
sent, and that they complied with his
leqnest.
Tho crush in tho corridors at the en
trance to tlio couit was greater than
upon any other day since the trial be
gan. Men and women fought for ad
mission, while the sheriff and a score of
deputies snuggled to keep tho crowd
back. At tunes the confusion outsido
was so great that tho proceedings of the
court wore interrupted. At length
Judgo Murphy summoned tho sheriff
and ordeied him to clear tho corridors.
11 tho sheriff's forces woro insufficient,
tho judgo said ho would call ou tho
clue! of ponce for a squad of men to ex
ecute tho order.
Sergeant Reynolds, tho police officer
who conducted the seaieh of Emanuel
chinch after the discovery of the bodies
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Wil
liams, was the first witness called to
the stand. Alter describing the furn
lturo aud other .u tides found in tho
pastor's study, ho was asked about tho
chisel marks found m tho door leading
to tho belfry. Tho door and casing
through which tho murderer passed
with tho body of his victim wero
brought into tho court and formed one
ot the most interesting exhibits pro
duced. The witness testified that the
ni.uks corresponded in sizo to a chisel
found in a tool box m Row John George
Gibson's study. Tho witness was also
asked to identify a shoo supposed to
havo been stained with blood which
was found in tho pastor's study. As
Sergeant Reynolds did not know to
whom the shoo belonged, Sergeant
Burke was cnled, but ho was also in
uignoraix e w ith legard to tho owner
ship ot the shoe.
Dr. W. C'lionoy of Cooper medical
college, who was supposed to bo tho
inuui'-tay ot tho deienso, was tho next
witness." Ho saul tho lecture on April
o begun at :i:;J0 and lasted until 4:15, at
tho eioo ot which tho roll was called.
The witnoss did not know whether
Durant was present or not, as tho roll
was called by Dr. F. P. Gray. Dr.
Chenoy was temporarily excused and
Dr. Gray summoned. Dr. Gray did
not know whether Durant was present
or not, out assumed that ho was from
tho tact that ho was not marked absent
ou the loilcall. Questioned with regard
to the rclllcall book, tho witness admit
ted that tho entry of April 3 was not an
onginal lecoul, as it had been traus
lened tioin another page subsequent to
that date xor the purpose of rectifying
un error. On this grouud the district
attorney moved that tho book bo not ad
mitted as an exhibit, but tho objection
was oven tiled.
Dr. Cheney was then iecal!ed and re
iterated his statement to tho effect that
ho had no lecollection of seomg Durant
at tho lectuio given on tho uttoriioon of
April !J. Attorney Duprey was plainly
nettled at tho conflict between what the
defense had promised, Dr. Cheney
would testily to and what ho really did
say, so another effort was made to ob
tain a satisfactory answer. Tho wit
ness was asked if iu a conversation with
oue of tho attorneys for the dofonse ho
(tho witness ffiad not said that ho be
hoved that Durant was piesout at tho
lectin e.
Tho couit asked Attorney Duprey if
ho was trying to impeach his own wit
ness, and thou sustained an objection
interposed by tho prosocution.
Ou cioss-examiuation District Attor
ney Bailies tried to show that students
at tlio coilogo fiequontly had their
classmates answer to their names at
rollcall when thoy wero absent. Tho
wituess was asked if in his exporionco
as an instructor at the college he had
not become awaro of tho existence of
such a practice. Tho dofonse objected
to tho question ou account of its sweop
intr natuio. Tho couit sustained tho
objectiou, but intimated that tho ques
tion might bu asked if made in proper
form. Two or thieo more questions of
