"THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1895. THE CASE AGAINST DURRANT NEABLY ENDED. Mr. Phillips Corrobo-| ratesthe Pawnbroker’s Testimony. TIGHTENING THE CHAIN. A Witness Who Saw the De- fendant in Front of Oppenheim’s. INTERVIEWS WITH DURRANT. The District Attorney Announces That the State's Case Is About Completed. THE DURRANT TRIAL IN A MINUTE—THE END IN SIGHT. At the close of yesterday’s proceedings the District wounced that the State’s case ag »d with the murder of Ble nearly all in. heim was subjected nst tc further cross-exa tion in the morning, bu his testi 2 t seem to be at &ll snaker by it He was fc Witness W. J. Phillips, » Ra turer, who corrobo. stimony in chief. Mr. Phil- three peeks ago by two different men, both of whom he described in a general way. But Mr. Oppenheim might be mis- taken i his identification of the young man who brought Blanche Lamont’s ring to his shop. It waseven possible that the pawnbroker might be under obligations to the police, and therefore anxious to serve them by helping Captain Lees make out his case against the prisoner. But how about Mr. Phillips, the witness who succeeded the pawnbroker, the San Rafael cigar manufacturer? It would be very difficult to assign to him any possible motive in the case other than that of tell- ing the truth in the interests of justice. Mr. Dickinson recognized this and gave up the attempt to impeach his evidence. It corroborated that given by the pawnbroker in the essential part, and as to the identifi- cation there could be no mistake, because Mr. Phillips was particularly attracted by the manner and dress of Durrant and by a peculiar movement of the lips that was to the witness very strange and suggestive. Mr. Phillips saw the defendant coming out of Oppenheimer’s pawnshop, stopped and looked at him. Then came Sergeant Burke to identify the hat and coat worn by Durrant on the 3d of April. His examination by Mr. Barnes had proceeded to the point where the witness was about to tell what he found in the overcoat pocket, when it sud- lenly ceased. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Deu- rey had a private consultation with Judge Murphy for several minutes. When the consultation was over Mr., Deuprey remarked aloud that the cefense w. J.

Although yesterday was the beginning of the fourth week that has elapsed since the hearing of evidence began in the trial of Theodore Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont, it was also only the thirteenth day of the trial. In thethree vious weeks there have been, for one reason or another, only four working days in 3 week. The new week has begua, however, with every prospect of a con- tinuous sitting until Friday evening. The day was devoted to completing the people’s case, to filling in a few small missing links here and there and to weld- | ing all the tighter the great chain of eir- cumstantial evidence against Durrant that | culwinated with the testimony of Organist King. At first Pawnbroker Oppenheim came back to the witness chair. Mr. Dickinson hac a surprise still in store for him. He led up to it very cantiously and smoothly by inqguiring from the witness whether he examined closely the things that were submitted to him jor sale orloan. And the witness said that he did. After some other questions, Mr. Diekin- son suddenly handed the witness a silver corkscrew and asked him if he had ever seen it before. Now,if Mr. Oppenheim had failed to recognize this article, or the watch-charm, or the silver watch afterward presented to him, Mr. Dickinson would have scored a good point for argument. How could he identify this ring if he failed to identify other articles presented to him at even a later date? But Mr. Oppenheim did not fail. He recognized the corkscrew, and the watch- charm, and the watch, and remembered admitted the hat and coat as those worn by Durrant. And thus was shut out a mightily interesting bit of evidence which, though it bears no part in the Bianche La- | mont case, would, nevertheless, have had its influence with the jury, and would probably have crept in despite all the technical rules of evidence. Minnie Will- iams’ pocketbook was found in the out- side pocket of Durrant’s overcoat—a fact that is of tremendous significance -to the non-legal mind, when faken in connection with all the other evidence that has gone before. A couple of newspaper men—Leigh H. Irvine and H. A. Healy—who had inter- views with Durrant after his arrest, were called upon to say that Durrant denied having seen Blanche Lamont on the after- noon of April 3, though he admitted being in the church after 4 o’clock, and also to seeing Blanche in the morning. Mrs. Alma B. Perry, a daughter of Mrs. Crosett, followed the mewspaper men on the stand. She came merely to corrob- orate her mother as to the date of their meeting at Mrs. McKee’s house and the time of the afternoon when Mrs. Crosett took the Valencia-street car. And she suc- ceeded in doing this despite the most searching cross-examination of Mr. Deu- prey concerning the movements of the witness that afternoon and the running of the streetcars. When the day’s work was over Mr. Barnes announced that the State’s case was being nearly concluded, there being only a few minor witnesses yet to be heard. It is expected that by Wednesday morn- ing, at the latest, Mr. Deuprey will be called upon to make his opening statement to the jury. The general belief is that the defense will be brief and lacking in sur- prises; but the unexpected may occur. At all events, every one interested is looking forward to that speech of Mr. Deuprey with the utmost anticipation. There have been many guesses made at the line to be taken by the defense, but, as the lawyers have been completely non-communicative on the matter, there have been nothing but guesses—and many of them have been very wild. It js almost too late a day to muke any more guesses now, for before the end of the week the truth will be known. The trial goes on to-morrow. st THE MORNING SESSION. Oppenheim Cross-Examined. and Then Corroborated by Witness Phelps, Who Saw Durrant, Adolph Oppenheim, the Dupont-street pawnbroker, came back to the stand for continued cross-examination when court opened in the morning. As soon as he had ascended the witness chair he told the court that he desired to make a correction in his previous testi- mony. Permission was given him to make the correction, and he explained that the width of his store door was not two feet, as he had previously testified, that they had been offered to him about but thirty-three inches. The width of his store was fifteen feet and the space between the counter and the showcase was six feet. “At the time when the party you call the de- fendent was in your store was he standin nearest the counter or the wardrobe?” ask Mr. Dickinson. “Nearest the counter,” replied the pawn- broker, with the same disregard for the rules of comparison as displayed by the military counselor. “Where did you stand?” “In front of the counter.” “No, sir.” “‘How much space was between you and the defendant?” “About four feet.” “Did he face the counter?” His back was to the counter.” “How far in the shop was he?"” ‘‘About four feet inside the door—six or seven feet.” 5 Mr. Dickinson then questioned the wit- ness concerning his memory of other tran- sactions which occurred about that time. Witness remembered that he only had two or three other visitors on the 3d of April. He_ told what they offered to sell or pawn and about how they were dressed. Then Mr. Dickinson brought out a sil- ver corkscrew and handed it to witness. “Did you ever see that before ?”” "}'e i5 was brought to my store by a man.” “About three weeks ago. I can’t fix the date nearer than that.” “By whom was it brought?” “A’young man presented it.” d be wear an overcoat?”’ “I think he did.” *Did he have a mustache?” “I am not sure.” “What was the color of his clothes?” “He wore a dark suit, I think.”” Mr. Dickinson then handed witness a watch charm and asked him if he could identify it. s; that was brought to my store for sale, “When?” “About the “By whom ? “By a middle-aged man.” “What kind of a hat did he wear?” “1don’t remember that.”” “What was the color of his clothes?” “My best recollection is that he wore a dark- gray suit and was rather a small man.” “IThand you this watch and ask you if you have ever seen it before?” Ces, sir; that was brought to my store.” hen?’ “About the same time."” “By whom was it presented?” ¢If 1 am not mistaken, by the same person Al same time.” “Well, are you mistaken? I think not.” here a monogram in that watch?” “Yes, sir.” “Do you remember having & conversation about that?” “I told him that because shere was a mono- gram on the case the watch was not worth so much.” “How was he dressed?” “I have already told you.” ot | hnnde-ou another watch., Have you ever say that I have. Ihave no recollec- tion of seeing it."” Mr. Dickinson then returned to the cork- screw and wanted a more minute descrip- tion of the man who presented it. Mr. Oppenheim could not give this. Mr. Dickinson then asked him if he knew De- tective H. J. Wright, if he knew P. Cos- groverand several other citizens and police- men and detectives, all of which the wit- ness answered readily, but with no appar- ent relevancy to the main facts of his testi- mony. In redirect examination by Mr. Barnes Oppenheim said he had never seen a ring like the one presented to him by Dur- rant either before or after this occasion, and that, by his own knowledge, be knew nothing at all about the manufacture of the ring in question. . W. J. Philiips, the San Rafael cigar manufacturer, was then calied to the stand. “Where were you residing in April last?’ ed Mr. Barnes. At 609 Pine street.” ‘an you tell from, dant in this case?

Witness did so, and then, pointing, said: “That gentleman, there.” “‘Would you know Mr. Oppenheim if you saw him?"” “I think I would.” Oppenheim was still in the courtroom and witness picked him out of a big crowd. He said further that Durrant was coming down the steps from Oppenheim’s shop when he saw him. Then witness was passed over to the tender mercies of the defense. 5 ; It remained for Mr. Dickinson to bring out, in spite of himself, by reason of his own scrutinizing questions, the fact that Mr. Phillips stopped to observe the pris- oner at that time because of a peculiar movement that Durrant made with his lips as he stood there on Oppenheim’s steps. Another thing that attracted wit- ness’ attention toward Durrant was the latter’s exceedingly neat attire in that neighborhood, which made Phillips think that Durrant was a consort of the, women of the v ity. i Mr. Phillips was questioned concerning the papers he read and he said he looked over all the morning and evening papers. “Did you communicate your knowledge of this case to the potice?” “I did not.” “Did_you ever have any conversation with Oppenheim?” “No, sir.”” “How was he dressed on the morning when the ring was presented ?” ““He was dressed in a gray vest and had no coaton. I noticed the expression of his face most.” “How long since you were subpenaed?” A week ago last Saturday.” “Have you had any interview with the de- tectives?'” “One with Mr. Seymour at 8an Rafael.” ““Where did you last see the defendant?” “In the courtroom last Monday. I remained about ten minutes. 1looked atthe defendant and recognized him.” “qumv. was your object in visiting the court- room?” “To see whether or not I could recognize the defendant.” “Didn’t you observe him the entire time you were here?” CiNo, sir.” «“Where were you sitting?” ““The Sheriff gave me a chair in that corner,” pointing to the southwest corner of the court- ere you sit who is the Streeton the Toom. “When did you next see Mr. Oppenheim?" “I've seen him a number of times passing his store.” :‘})‘lid‘g‘gn see him in the witness-room?” “Did you have any conversation with him?" “None whatever; so as to avoid suspicion I Police Court, and kept away from him,” “Does Mr. Oppenheim know you?” ‘‘He may know me by sight, as I know him, butI've never even bowed to him nor he io me.” “Describe anybody you saw on Dupont street on that occasion.” “1 can’t remember any one just at present.” “Now, fix as near as possible the date upon wnic'h you saw the defendant on Dupont street.” “As I said before, it was the end of the first or the beginning of the second week in April. Ican’t aporoximate any closer, as I had no hluslnzn 'ventures to guide me in fixing the time.” ow long did you live in Victoria?” “Twelve years 1 k:g! the London Hotel with my brother, who died eight years ago. I then came to San Franeisco.” “Was this man whom you met saying any- thing that you heard?” asked General Dickin- son, o, sir, i but he made'a very peculiar moticn with his lips that I never mnoticed before in any one. few days ago in court he did the same, which further satisfied me that he was the same man.” “Have you ever been mistaken in your iden- tification of persons?” “‘Oh, that I don’t know. Not thatIkuow of, though.” Mr. Phillips was then excused and Of- ficer George Russell was called. He did not respond, and Sergeant Burke took the witness chair. He was shown Durrant's hat and overcoat, which had been intro- duced 1n evidence by the people in the identified them as a coat and hat taken from Durrant's home at 1025 Fair Oaks street. The witness tes- tified he took them from the hatrack of the house. Mr. Barnes—Please examine the coat and hat and see if they are in the same condi- tion as when you found them. Sergeant Burke looked them over and remarked that they were in about the same condition, but that the coat was wrinkled now and was not then. - “There was something in the pocket that I don’t find here now,’”” continued the wit- ness, referring evidently to the purse of Minnie Williams, which was taken from the overcoat pocket. A conference was held by the court, Mr. Deuprey and the District Attorney, after which the hat and coat were introduced in evidence as exhibits of the people. *Did you take anything glse from the house?"” f ““Yes; a pocket-book.” The court—Let that be stricken out. With the mandate of the court all reter- ence to Minnie Williams was withheld from the jury. “Did you find any keys?” asked Mr. Barnes. “1did.” 3 A bunch of keys which had been intro- duced by the peo;;‘le at the preliminary ex- amination was handed to witness, who identified them by marks he had made on them with his knife. The keys were again admitted in evidence. A recess was then taken until 2 o’clock. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. Newspaper Men Who Had Inter- views With Durrant and the Daughter of Mrs. Crosett. In the afternoon the examination of Sergeant Burke was continued by Mr. Barnes. He identified a small memoranda- book that he found in Durrant’s room. The book was offered as a people’s exhibit for identification. Witness then identified a small block of wood that he found in the library of Em- manuel Church on the 13th of April; also alock and brass plate. There was a con- sultation between the District Attorney and the lawyers for the defense. When it was over Mr, Barnes withdrew the memo- randa-book, the block of wood and the | mide seltzer, kiter which he helped King carry :z “on‘:n downxairs, Then they both left the |- Glinrol “Did he say anyihing about seeing her after lheNmor{dng of 'K;h 8d ¥". > “No, sir.” “From those notes did you write an article th,l{' Wwas ipnbm;lu;fl on the 15th of April?” “Yes, sir.” ‘Witness was then shown a clipping in a scrap-book and identified it as his writing. There was some consultation between the attorneys. It was evident that Irvine was expected to give more damaging testim ny than he had. Finally he was asked if Durrant had said anything else about the events of the 3d of April. ‘Witness replied that Durrant told him that was all he knew of the Blanche La- mont case. Upon cross-examination wit- néss said that Mr. Morrison of THE CALL was present at the interview, that Messrs. ‘Wright, Gallagher, Cassell and -Seymour, all newspaper men, were present. H. A. Healy, a Chronicle reporter, was called. He testified that three or four days after Durrant’s arrest the defendant told him that he had not seen Blanche La- mont on the afternoon of April 3. During cross-examination, which was very brief,” witness identified a certain article that he said was written by Charles Seymour, who is now in Chicago. Mrs. Alma B. Perry was the next wit- neds. Sne resides in Alameda and is the daugnter of Mrs. Crosett, the elderly ladv who testified to having seen Durrant and Blanche Lamont on a Valencia-street car going toward Emmanuel Church on the afternoon of April 3. “Did you see your mother on the afternoon of Alpl ‘113‘.‘” asked the District Attorney. 1 ia “Where did you see her?” ‘At the residence of Mrs. McKee, on Washing- ton street.” “Did 1 have luncheon with Mrs. Crossett that da; g “Yes, sir; at Mrs. McKee's house.” What time did you leave there?” “About 15 or 20 minutes after 3 o’clock.” “Who went with you if anybody?"” +My mother and I left togetner.” “Where did you leave your mother?” “At the junction of "Marker, Valencia and Haight streets. 1 got off there.’ “Did your mother take a transfer?” “Yes, sir—to the Vaiencia-street car.” “Did you see her get on the Valencia-street car?”’ “No, sir. Ileft her there and went shopping.” Mr. Deuprey then led the witness through a most tortuous examination con- lock and brass plate. Then Mr. Deuprey cerning the route they took from Mrs. Mc- SERGEANT W. F. BURKE, WHO IDENTIFIFD TE‘E HAT AND OVER- COAT WORN BY DURRANT 'APRIL 8. [Sketched in the courtroom y esterday. by a “‘Call” artist.] rose and said he would admit all that was claimed concerning the key of George R. King and the duplicate of it belonging to Durrant on the 3d of April. Mr. Dickinson proceeded with the cross- examination. He asked Sergeant Burke if he had, at the time he went to Durrant’s home and secured the overcoat and hat, had a conversation with Mrs. Durrant con- cerning the defendant’s shoes. Witness replied that Mrs. Durrant told | him Theodore had but one pair of walking shoes, and that he was wearing them. He saw a pair of light pumps in Durrant’s room. “Who was present at the time?” Detective Gibson and myself.” 'Wasn’t Mr. Durrant present?” “I think not.” “When was the next visit to the house?” “On the next day—Monday.” “Were you at the church Sunday morning?” “I was not.” “When did you first visit the church after the body was found?” “I think the same day.” “That is all.” Mr. Phillips was then recalled for further closs-examination. “Do you know a saloon in San Rafael kept by P. Comally?” began Mr. Dickinson. 0 you recollect being in there two weeks ago?” “Yes, sir.” “Do you recollect having a conversation there about your testimony?” “Idid talk about it; yes.” “Didn’t you say then that you could notiden- tify Durrant by his picture until you had tacked iton the walland put a slouch hat above it?” *‘No, sir: I sald [ had done that—" “Answer the question. Did you say that?” “1 did not.” “Didn’t you say that you saw Durrant on the steps talking with Oppenheim and tossing something in his hands?" “No, sir; Idid not say that.” “That is all.”" “What did you say concerning the picture of Durrant?” asked Mr. Barnes, upon redirect ex- amination. G “I stated that I had seen a big picture of Durrant ?osted against the wall in the shop, and that J had placed a slouch hatabove it an sat down and looked at it, and then I was more convinced than ever.” Mr. Dickinson—Didn't you say that it was a mistake in the police to let Durrant cut his hair and shave his mustache; that it made it more difficult to identify him? Witness—I did say so. Mra%nmes—But you did identify Durrant? “raia.” «And do 5o now?” “Ido.” Officer Russell, the dranghtsman of the department, was recalled to identify a diagram of the E“ pipes of Emmanuel Church. Mr. Dickinson picked a flaw in the-diagram, and Mr. Peixotto, remarking that it had been drawn more for the con- venience of the defense than the use of the prosecution, then withdrew ‘the diagram, and Leigh H. Irvine, a newspaper reporter,’ was called to the witness chair. Mr. Irvine was called upon to repeat from his\ notes an interview he had with Durrant ih the City Prison on the evening of his arrest, April 14. 3 “Did you make any threats to the defendant or hold out any reward to him?” “I did not.” Was his statement free and voluntary?” Tt was. “What did he say concerning the 3d of April and Blanche Lamont?” “He told me he had left home st‘}o'clock that morning, intending to go for George King, ‘who was to assist him in some electrical work. At Twenty-first and Mission streets he met Blanche Lamont, he said, and she asked him 0 go along with heron the car. On the way Blanche Lamont spoke about “The New- comes,”” and remarked she would have to buy & copy of the book. Durrant told her he would bring his copy to the church that night and lend it to her.” He shid he went to the church that evening about 4:30 o’clock; that he took off his coat and went upstairs to fix the electricity, King was downsiairs play. ing the piano. hen he came down he was overcome by the smell of gas aud took a bro- | Kee’s residence to the Valencia-street | junction. It wasall done to prove, if pos- | sible, that the ride to Valencia street must | bave taken a longer time than both wit- | ness and her mother said it did. During | the inquiry Mr. Deuprey got a little | mixed on ‘his streetcar schedule and was called to time by Juror Smythe, who told when and how the cars run at present in that particular neighborhood. Witness added that she had visited her mgther since then and had seen her at vdrious times. At the conclusion of her cross - examination District Attorney Barnes announced that the people’s case was almost completed, there being buta few minor witnesses yet to hear. . Then court adjourned until this morn- ing. eSS SIS SALT aw PEPPER SEIA KEXIRS-Genuine RichCut : Glass with heavy silver-plated tops, 5 diffarent shapes, at 25 Cents each.
