a few rebels against authority.

Ito jury selected 10 try him that he did not
murder Bancho Lament In the belfry oC the
church on the 3d or April lat , -
Wih the same coolness that has charactcr-
Izell his conduct since his arrest he denIed
the principal allegations that have been made
against him by the most important witnesses
for ito prosecution. his answers were al-
ways brIef and to time point , ant by many
were InterpNtet to mean that he had studied
his part well before taking the stam Only

afternoon oC April 3 , he cat hits eyes toward

rcplcll that he had taken notes , but that
they were very brier.
The hesitancy of the prisoner may be un-
dcrstood , whcl It Is explained that Gilbert P.
"Graham , one or Durront's most Inlmato
friends , wi testify that Durrant nslet to
borrow hs ! notes or the lecture. When the
request was made Durrant explained that ho
only needed the notes to establish a good
ahitji. Graham.rerused the rcquest.
Taken altogether , Durrant's direct tcst-
mon ) ' . which ended at 3 o'clock , when the
cross-exaummitmatloum began probably hat a tendency -
dency to strengthen his case. His demeanor
<
whlo on the witness stand , was certainly in'
tended to Impress the jury wih the opinion
that he was telling the Iruth. Questions ( hunt
would ordinariy cause a visible Impression
upon a guilty man were answered hy Dur-

Attorney Deuprey asked him I on the 311 of
AIJrl or at any other time he uuiuruhered or
participated In murdering Dancho l.alont.
the prlsoilcr coolly replied In the negative.
A significant feature or the leslhnony was
the fact that while Dnrrant was telling of
several incidents that tool place at.a prayer
meeting held on the evening of April 3 , Mrs
C. M. Nohle , Blanche I.amonl's aunt , shook
