the Jury selected to try him that ho did not
murder m Banche Lament In the belfry at the

Wih the same coolnes lhat has character-

against him ! y the most Important witnesses
for limo prosecutIon. Ills answers were 01.

were Interpr.ted to mean that he had stu < led

once during the course ot the direct examlna.
ton t did ho show airy nervousness or hesi-
tancy. t Whentorney Dickinson asked I he
t tool notes at Dr. Chene"s lecture on the
afernoon ot April 3 , he cast IlLs 1 eyes toward
the leer anti for a moment was sIlent. 10
relllcd that he had taltcn notes , but that
rt
they t were very brief.
The hcsltanc ot the prisoner may be understood -
derstood , when It Is eXlllalned that Gilbert P.
Graham , one ot Durront's most Intmnte
( nouns , with testify that Durrant asked to
borrow hs notes at the iectnre. Vhen the
request wa made Dun'ant explained that he
only neelell tire notes to establsh a good
alibi. Graham , reused the rcquest. .
Taken aitogethmer Durrant.s direct test-
mommy , which ended at 3 o'clock , when the
cross.examlnaton began , probably had a ten-
lency to strengthen his case. HIs demeanor
whlo on the winess , stAt11 was certainly In.
tonte.1 to Impress tine jury with the opinion
that he was telling the truth. Qnestons thnt
would ordinarily cause n visible Impression
upon a Inly mll were answered by Dur-
remit with the rntuimost runcorucorri. Even when
Attorney Dauprey asked him If on the 311 of
Apri or lt any other time he munlered or
Imrtclpated In murdering Ianche Lament ,
time prlHoler coolly replied In the negative.
A significant feature of the testimony was
the fact that whie Dnrrant was telng ot
several Incltents that took place at , a prayer
meetng held on the evening at April 3 , Mrs
C. M. Noble , Banche Lamont's aunt , shook
her hcad several times , us If to Indicate that
statements made by tire prisoner of what
ire hall positive knowledge , were not correct.
Durrant did not look at' Mrs. Noble while
he was testifying.'S
CURTAILING cnOSS.gXAlNATIN.
The purpose of the .defense to curtail cross-
examination as much as Iosslbll was shown
when DIstrict Attorney i3arnes asked the
first quesllon. Durrant was asked it he
was not ! or at Toronto Can. , on April 21 ,
1S71. Attorney Deuprey objected to the
Ilnestlon He said that Durrant could not
have positive knowledge err the subject , and
any belef that he might have would be based
on hearsay. The court overruled the objec-
ton , anti the prisoner gave an nlrmatve
arms\rer. Several othel' cqtmUIy unimportant
