But little time was wasted in prelimin- aries after court was called to order in Department 3] yesterday morning. The risoner Durrant, apparently in the same passive state of mind as he has been since ing of the case, sat with his face ch, unmindful of the looks cast to the b upon him from all quarters. His attorneys were ly on hand, fresh for the fray, and e Murpbhy himself appeared to have ully recovered from his recent iliness. The usual pleas for exemplion from jury 1ty were made to his Honor by a long { citizens after the call of the venire, t was pretty close to 11 o’clock ere the actual hunt for jurors began. D. H. Watkins, assayer, residing at 2251 Sutter street; J. F. D. Curtis, insurance, | 2813 Webster, and W. Alexander, cashier, were challenged and excused in rapid suc- cession on the ground that they each pos- sessed a strong opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. am L.

Jud{):a Murphy rose from his seat and was about to admonish the jury prior to the noon recess, when the District Attor- ney attracted his attention. . “Before your Honor proceeds to admon- ish the jury,” he said, “I deem it the right of the State, as well as a right belong- ing to one of the gentlemen in the jury- box, who has already been impaneied to try this case, that the State should deny | and cast aside the statements which were made concerning one of these gentlemen, | concerning some suspicions the State or its officers were said to have against this | gentleman, published last Friday after- noon in one of the evening papers. These | statements, so far as the State is advised | are incorrect; they are false and the State | does not believe them, and never had any | suspicions of this gentleman. I believe | this statement is due in justice to the jury |and to the gentlemen Tepresenting the State.” 1 Judge Murphy said his attention had | been called to the matter and at the time | he thought it was very ill-advised and un- | warranted. He then proceeded to give his idea at length upon the protection due | from a court to witnesses and jurors, “From what the District Attorney says,”” | he continued, “‘and from my own observa- | tions in court, 1 am very well satisfied that “Have you formed or expressed an opinion 2" “Not any."” “At the present time your mind is a perfect blank on the subject of the guilt or innocence of the defendant?’ ““Yes, sir,” “Suppose the Judge shouid instruct you that if one essential circumstance had failed in the proof and vou had a reason- able doubt of the guilt of the defendant you must acquit, would you do so?” “Yes, sir.” X “‘Suppose the court should instruct you that unless you were entirely satisfied of the guilt of the defendant you must ac- quit, would you do so?” “Yes, sir.” X 4 “Would you weigh evidence of identifi- cation with more caution than ordinary evidence?” “I would take it with caution according to the evidence—yes, I would be more par- ticular with 1t.”” “Then you recognize that evidence as to identity is open to more fatal error than any other class of evidence; that a witness may be mistaken as to the color of cloth- ing, size of a person, the contour of the face, and the general motions of the body 2’ “Yes, sir.” “Are you acquainted with Dr. John George Gibson or his_confidential friend, constant associate and private secretary, Lynch?” “No, sir.” “Could you be influenced by public opinion in this case, one way or the other?"” “No, sir.” The defense submitted Mr. Brooks, and ‘DA'VI.D BROOKS, THE [Sketched by a TENTH JUROR SWORN TO TRY DURRANT, ““Call” artist.] there was no_reason for this insinuation against Mr. Crocker at all. It was vnjust and unfair, and it was an undue interfer- ence with the proceedings of the court, and it might just as well be understood now that when matters of this sort occur the | | court will follow its bounden duty to pro- tect the jurors, witnesses and the partiesin | this case, orany other case beforeit, and will | take such steps as the law provides, re- gardless of personal consequences to the | presiding officer of this court.” General Dickinson called the attention of the court to the fact that aflidavits com- plaining of certain newspaper articles, ask- ing for certain citations for contemnt, were on file and suggesling that the time to take them up had arrived. Judge Murphy stated that he had tempo- rarily disposed of those matters and did not propose to delay the trial by consider- | ing them at this time. General Dickinson insisted that they should come up, but | Judge Murphy not seeing itin that light admonished the jurors and a recess was taken until 2 o'clock, 5 At the opening of the afternoon session J. H. BABBITT, THE ELEVENTH [Sketched by a ** Call” artist.] JUROR IN THE DURRANT CASE. would not convict a man on circumstantial evidence. He was excused. H. Kent, contractor, residing at 614 Sutter street, answered the questions of fue prosecution satisfactorily, but did not get dlong so smoothly with the defense. After a long struggle with himself he was ‘e to state that he would cousider the a instructions of the court in preference to his own j]udgmenl on matters of law; and it was cnly when very closely pressed that be stated” that he would give the same credibility to the testimony of a defe}:dant as be would to that of another witness, He stated in conclusion, however, that he knew of no reason that would prevent him from giving the defendant a fair and im- partial trial, and was passed for the time, George R. Littlefield and Daniel O’Day stated their inability to j ina death ver- dict on circumstantial evidence and were excused, leaving Mr. Kent to be dis- posed of. 5 & . “Gentlemen,” said the court, addressing counsel, “Mr. Kent is in the box. Do you desire to exercise a peremptory challenge? | Naw's your time.” “We are satisfied,” said Mr. Barnes. “We excuse Mr, Kent,” said Mr. Deun- ~ rey. and thereremained three seats in the box unfilled. E. V. Hathaway of 2121 -Buchanan street, William Crocker of 913 Pollstreet and Henry Meyer, 2421 Sutter street, were | Mr. Danks was excused from jury service | on the ground that he is a United Btates | officez. ““A. 8. Mosley, for whom an attachment has been issued,” said Judge Murphy, " is acting as a jurorin the United States | 1cjoun,. and he Is now excused from service | here.” | The three empty chairs were filled by | Lee Gallagher, N. Zacharias and Nathan Brooks and the examination | Lee Gallagher was excuse had an opinlon. N. Zacharias was excused by the defense because of his opinion.. David Brooks, a native of Ireland, who has been a resident of California for twenty | years and keeps a livery stable at 1311 | California street, said he had been a juror in the cases of Nellie Horton and John Bowen. % “Were you a juryman on the first or second trial of Nellie Horton ?” asked Mr, Deuprey. . “The second trial.” “8he was acquitted ?” “Yes, sir.”" 4 g “Are those the only two cases in which | you were a juror and - the offense wasa | capital one?’ 4 |~ “No, another case; that of a China- man.” “How many children have you?” “Six, The oldest is 1L.” roceeded. because he the court announced that it was the privi- lege of the State to exercise a peremptory challenge. “When was that Bowen case tried, Mr, Brooks?” dsked Mr. Barnes. “About a year ugo.” After a few minutes’ delay, in which the Eroneculian looked up the record, Mr, arnes announced : “We are satisfied with Mr. Brooks.” “‘Satisfied,” echoed Mr. Deuprey. And David Brooks, the tenth juror, was sworn fo try the case. Monroe Greenwood was called and did not respond. “Let an attachment be issued returnable forthwith,” said Judge Murphy. Mr. Sherwood, wit%wut being called into the box, was excused on the ground of be- ing a resident of Marin County. N. B. Wuensch and M. Carey took the two vacant chairs, Mr. Wuensch said he would not be will- ing to join in a verdiet of guilty on circum- stantial evidence where the penalty might be death. He was excused. Mr. Carey said he had an opinion which nothing could change. He was excused. P, Hessler and J. H. Babbitt took their places. Mr. Hessler said he would not convict on circumstantial evidence, and was ex- cused. J. H. Babbitt resides at 1015 Market street. He isa blacksmith and carriage- maker doing business at 314 McAllister street. He said he had no scruples against the’ infliction of the death penalty in a proper case, nor any prejudice against cir- cumstantial evidence. “Are you acquainted with the defendant or his attorneys, or Harry Morse?” *‘No, sir.” “Have you sat before in a criminal case?" “Yes, sir; in Department 8, now Depart- ment 12. I think it was the Lenterle case.” He was passed by the prosecution and Mr. Deuprey examined him. “Have you discussed matters pertaining to this charge?” “Yes, sir.” “And heard some strong opinions ex- pressed ?” ““Yes, sir.” “KFrom what you read, or from discus- sions, have you formed or expressed an opinion of the guilt or innocence of the de- fendant?”’ *No, sir.” “Is your mind entirely free?”’ “Yes, sir.” *‘How would you take circumstantial evidence and evidence of identification?" “With caution.” Mr. Babbitt stated that he bhad no ac- uaintance with the detective force, the istrict Attorney, C. G. Noble, nor any members of Emmanuel Baptist Church, nor witnesses in the case. He said he might know some of the Police Depari- ment, “If the defendant were called as a wit- ness would you be ready and willing to give his evidence the same weight as that of any other witness?” “Yes, sir.” “Would you be entirely bound by your own opinion if you were chosen as a juror in this case?” “That is what I would be here for.” “If you were unfortunate enough to be charged with crime would you be willing o be tried by twelve gentlemen possessing the same state of mind ?"" . “Yes, sir.” ““We pass the juror,” said Mr, Deuprey. “We accept him,” said Mr. Barnes for the prosecution, after a moment of medi- tation. & Mr. Deuprey whispered to Detective Morse and_ to the defendant and his mother while Mr. Barnes was thinking, and said: ““We are content.” So the eleventh juror chosen, J, H, Bab- bitt, was swora to try the case. C. Meyerstein said he had an opinion, and was excused. K. B. Sounle said he would not convict on circumstantial evidence unless it was very strong, and he was excused. ¥, \%I Marvin was excused because he said he would notunder any circumstances convict on circnmstantial evidence. R. McGillan said he had scruples against the death penalty, and was excused. D. R. McNeal was excused because he said he had an opinion, D. Sherrin said he believed he could con- yict on circumstantial evidence, but it NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. POSITIVELY THE LAST WEEK!

THE BURGLAR O'NEIL. People Who Had Their Houses Plun- dered Anxious to Have a Look at Him. The clever capture of Tommy O'Neil, the burglar, by Detective Cody on Sunday night was the principal topic of conversa- tion in police circles yesterday. The police are satisfied that O’Neil has committed numerous burelaries recently in the Mission and Western Addition and they think there will now be a cessation of the daily reports that caused so much excitement and vexation. ‘What disposition O'Neil made of the plunder, which must have been extensive, is a mystery. Every effort will be made to find the ‘‘fence,” but the chances are against it. Several people whose houses were robbed called at police’ headquarters yesterday in the hope that some of their " property had been recovered. Others cal mf to have a look at the prisoner, as a stranger had been seen gmwling around their neighborhood on the night the burglaries were commitied. Among the latter was Attorney C. M. Jennings, whose house was entered about the be%'mning of this month and his wife’s jewels and” a purse containing monege were stolen. On the night of the robbery Mr. Jennings had a good look at a stranger, who was skulk- ing behind a telegraph-pole. He saw O'Neil’s picture in Tre OALL and is almost stranger. certain he was the uknlkjng t None of them had their desire gratified. Detective Cody bas made arrangements to have O'Neil ready for inspection to-day, and they all promised to be at the City Prison in the morning. OF INOENDIARY ORIGIN, Fire Marshal Towe Investigating a Fire on Sixth Street. Fire Marshal Towe is investigating what he has every reason to believe is a case of incendiarism. Abeut 5 o'clock yesterday morning fire was discovered in the lodging-house of Mrs. 8. M. Oliver, 244 Sixth street. A still alarm was given tothe nearest fire hall and the flames were extinguished with a s of $300 on the building ana $100 on the contents. 3 ‘What led to the suspicion of incendiar- ism was the fact that the fire started in one of two rooms which were unoccupied, the fire being confined to these two rooms, —————————— Infected Spice Plants.

The other is the convex scale. He gave a permit to transfer the infected plants to the Oceanic dock and at once notified Joseph Marsden, the Commissioner of Agriculture of Honolulu. NEW STORY IN BOHEMI Proposition to Put One on Top of the Club Build~ ing. A Subject That Promises to Awaken an Active Contest Among Members. A proposition pending in the Bohemian Club to increase the monthly dues to §5 75 or $6 in oraer to provide a spacious jinksroom by placing another . story on the building at the corner of Post street and Grant avenue promises to bring on the most interesting contest of the club’s his- tory. The subject was considered about two weeks ago and referred to a special committee consisting of James D. Phelan, Joseph D, Redding, Wjlliam Greer Harri- son and others. The report of the committee was sub- mitted at a special meeting of the club yesterday afternoon. In effect the com- mittee recommended the plan of autboriz- ing Mr, Lent, the landlord, to put on an additional story at a cost of $40,000 and to put in also a fast-running elevator., 1t is proposed that the club shall pay $250 a month more than it now pays for its in- creased accommodations. The close vote on the proposition (37 in fayor of the improvement and 34 against it) indicates the difference of club opinion regarding the merits of the scheme. 'he action yesterday was only prelimi- nary, but it authorizes the posting of an amendment to increase the monthly dues for the pur{aose specified, and at the regu- lar quarterly meeting in October the club will accept or reject the proposition. The issue has been clearly defined, so all members can vote intelligently. Animated speeches were made at the meeting yes- terday, The advocates of the improve- ment mentioned tie spirit of club compe- tition now existing in San Francisco, and the steps that had been taken by the Uni- versity and Cosmos clubs to aftract and retain members. Mention was made of the renown the club had gained by high jinks entertainments, and the argument adyanced that the ancient line should be followed. The opponents of the measure regarded any proposition contemplating an increase of dues as dangerous to the welfare of the club, They expressed the view that there was more danger of the entertainments losing charm and character by lack of high jinks spirit than by the lack of a hall. The subject isone of such absorbing in- terest in ‘view of recent experiments in branching out that a great meeting of club members will convene next October. ‘While there is a great deal of feeling in the matter there is no ill feeling. Many of the minority feel very confident that they will be sustained at the regular meet- ing, while the leaders of the majority are ually confident that the will of the club :‘}ll pronounce in favor of the new story, the new elevator and the increased dues.

Monteith, bas instituted a suit against the Southern Pacific Company for $25,000 damages for injuries received while in the service of the company as a switch- man.
