THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1895 M—_—-——————M MRS, MONNIER INCENSED, She Did Not Try to Manufac- ture Evidence to Clear Durrant. SAYS SHE WILL NOT TESTIFY. Accused Told Student Dukes About Fixing the Wires—Outcrop- pings of the Case. ¥ rday’s developments it is doubtful whether the defense in the Dur- rant case wil! profit as largely by the tes- timony of Mrs. G. Monnier as the attor- neys for the accused student have pro- fessed to expect. Mrs. Monnier is the witness Mr. Deuprey had in mind when he said in opening statement that the defense would prove Durrant entered Emmanuel Church alone at 5 minutes past 5 o'clock the afternoon of April3. It is she whose story of meeting Durrant at the entrance to Emmanuel Church that afternoon has already been published in TrE Yesterday two other publications con- tained accounts of Mrs- Monnier’s connec- tion with the case, in which the lady was misrepresented. It was stated that she had been a con- stant attendant at the trial, and that she i1 taken such an unusual interest in oung defendant that she was prompted to undertake the manufacture of evidence in support of his alibi by going to Mme. Deckand, her dressmaker, at 229 Bartlett street, and endeavoring to induce the lady to make an_entry in her visitors’ book to show that Mrs. Monnier had called April 8. It was by this, it was stated, that she hoped to fix the date on which she saw the defendant. Mrs. Monnier was seen yesterday at her home, 1158 Howard street. She denied emphatically the statements that have been made and says she will not be a wit- ness in the case. In stating her version of the affair she said.

Mrs. M a receipt for money {lmM to St. Marcus Krankenverein Society dated April 3, and as she has stated her belief that she paid her dues to the society the sanie day she met the young man in front of Emmanuel Church, she will doubt- less be called by the defense, although she states she will not swear positively that the date of the meeting and that on which she made the payment are the same. The Monn lived in_the City more than thirty years and are highly re- spected. They ure very indignant at the treatment they received from the other morning pape: It was reported yesterday that the de- fendant lym‘ at last secured a witnessin | the person of Miss Clara May Holmes, one of Durrant’s classmates, who would testify that he was present at Dr. Cheney’s lec- ture. As soon as Mr. Deuprey heard it he departed in post haste for East Oaklana, where Miss Holmes resides, to interview her. The rumor was in effect that during a quis_she had become somewhat ustered and Durrant had turned in hi seat and given hera npathizing glance, 1e was said to remember very ¥ seen last ing at her home, 1149 Brush street, at Oakland, Miss Holmes said: I showed Mr. Deuprey my notebook, and told himIdid not recall anything about Wednes- ay, April 3.

Now, I he date of that lecture, because it's 'in my notebook. Butldon’t know whether Mr. Durrant was present on the momentous Wednesday afternoon or not. Durrant looks to Charles A. Dukes, a fellow medical student living in Oakland, to assist him in proving that he was fixing electric wires at the Emmanuel Baptist Church about the time of the murder of Blanche Lamont. The value of Mr. Dukes’ testimony will be problematical, however, as he can tell only what Durrant_told him shortly after Miss Lamont’s disappear- ance. “I have not been subpenaed as a witness vet,”” said Mr. Dukes last night. “I under- stand that a subpena has been issned though. I will testify that a few days after Wednesday, April 3, Durrant told me that he had been fixing some electric wires con- nected with the lighting of the church. It happened one evening as we were return- ing from a lecture, **We were both interested in similar work. You see he was president of the Christian Endeavor in San Francisco and I was president of the society in Oakland. We were talking about the duties of oar vositions, and I remember he said some- thing about having fixed some electric wires to regulate the lighting of the cnurch. I don’t remember just what he said he had done.” “Did he speak of having been overcome by the gas?” was asked. “No,” responded Mr. Dukes. spoke of having fixed the wires.” *‘When was this?” “Idon’t know exactly. Let's see—now the 3d was on Wednesday. Well, it might have been Friday or Saturday, or it might have been the first of the next week. It was before the murder of Miss Williams at any rate.” The defense cxg:ects to.score a_strong point on the bookstrap bearing Blanche Lamont’s name, which was sent to General Dickinson in July, and which has been in- troduced in evidence. It will be held that the strap found in the church was either not one of the girl’s belongings or that she had two, and that the one with her name on, not having been-found in the church, shows that some one other than the accused must have been connected with her whereabouts the day she was killed. “He only MAKING AN INCANDESCENT Lamp Frra- M —A new incandescent lamp filament is said to have greatly increased efficiency. Its merit depends mainly on the process of its manufacture. Of this the earlier stages are kept entirely secret; but when the material of which the filament is com- posed is sufficiently far prepared it is forced through a series of molding orifices, The moist fragile thread is wound on drums covered with plush, lest its delicate contour should be injured by pressure, and as it dries it contracts and sinks into the plush. The contraction would go further, but is caught by the drum, so that the thread is drawn out into a thin, uniform, semi-transparent, mod- erately strong and very smooth line, with Do trace of texture in it. It is subse- quently baked in a . furnace, and after being mounted it is ready jor use. The curious point about the baking is that this delicate thread should stand a temperature which’ would melt iron and come out almost unaltered in size and shape, though otherwise very much chenged. The finished filament is smooth, hard and very much like horsehair, and of extraordinary Sexibilit; VISITED THE FRENCH BRANCEH. Keir Hardie and Mr. Smith Speak Briefly and to the Point. The French branch of the San Francisco section of the Socialist Labor party was visited by James Keir Hardie and Frank Smith at the meeting in Lafayette Hall on Montgomery street. Both made short talks. Mr. Hardie al- luded to the natural animosity between Trance and Germany, but said that when Frenchmen and Germans became social- ists national inctions were obliterated and animosities born of mistaken patriot- ism were forgotten. Mr. Smith said he was glad he counld go back to England with an_encouraging re- port of socialist progress in America. Hardie and Smith speak in the Oakland Tabernacle this afternoon, and at Metro- politan Temple this evening. To-morrow they will be in Sacramento. ——————— — NoT TITLED, BOT K Lady Sholto Douglass’ Sister Engaged to a Mil- lionaire. Miss Margle Addls Met Her Future Husband on a Theatrl- cal Tour. 0AxLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. Lord Sholto Douglass will soon have a brother-in-law in the person of Thomas Jefferson of Spokane Falls. Miss Margie Addis, sister of the Lady Douglass, re- turned from a theatrical tour a few days ago and is at her home in this city. It is now announced that she has been engaged for several months to Mr. Jefferson, and that the marriage is to take place in Ala- meda within a few weeks. The affair might have been kept a secret much longer only Miss Addis is wearing a diamond engage- Miss Margie Addis, Sister of Lady Sholto Douglass, Whose Engage- ment to a Spokane Falls Millionaire Has Been Announced. (From a photograph.] ment ring, and she has been induced to tell her friends the reason for its existence. Miss Margie is the sister of Miss Loretta Addis, the young actress who was married to Lord Shoito Douglass at San Jose sev- eral months ago. Sheis also an actress, and it was while on a northern. tour that she first met Mr. Jefferson. From all that has transpired it was a case of love at first sight, and it was only Miss Addis’ refusal to act hastily that has prevented the mar- riage from having already taken place. The story of the engagement dates kack to April 14 of last year. On that day Miss Addis met Mr. Jefferson on a train at Spokane Falls. During Miss Addis’ north- ern engagement she has spent as much time as possible at Spokane Falls, though until a few months ago the secret of her doing so was carefully guarded, even from members of her own family. Ten days ago she came home for a brief holi- ‘day anc the story of her engagement has gradually leaked out. Although she is but 20 years of age she has made quite a reputation on the vaudeville stage. Thomas Jefferson is the son of the presi- dent of the National Bank at Spokane Falls and is reported to be a millionaire in his own right. He is the superintendent of three mines and owns considerable ranch property. He is said to be a man of athletic build, over six feet in height and is 34 years of age. The mother of the young lady was seen to-day and admitted that the report of her daughter’s engagement was true, but she refused to discuss the subject further. e Diphtheria in St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 28.—Owing to the rapid increase in the number of diphtheria cases within the past few days Comms- sioner Starckloff has addressed a circular to all physicians urging them to promptly report all cases coming under their obser- vation. It is estimated that over 200 per- sons are now afflicted here. Ninety-five cases were reported this week. The Health Department is taking vigorous methods to prevent the spread of the maiady and will recommend the closing of the schools in the districts where the disease is prevalent. Typhoid fever also exists to an alarming extent in the western and northern por- tionsof the cit BN —— Rescuers and Rescued Missing. MOBILE, A1A., Sept. 28.—Several weeks ago the schooner Meteor, Captain D. W. Davis, was wrecked off the coast of Mexico. The captain and crew made their way to land, where they were taken aboard the schooner Lizzie M. Kels and started for Mobile. Nothing has since been heard from the Eels, and much anxiety is felt for her safety. She is commanded by Cap- tain Ike Davis, who is no relation to the captain of the lost schooner Meteor.

BIRDS AND ANIMALS BEATEN. After a Few Days In Captivity the Rowdy Bird Escapes—Now With the Buffaio. . A strange bird has been brought from far-away New Guinea and presented to Golden Gate Park. There was peace | among the happy family of buffalo, elk, deer, emus and ostriches until this wild- | eyed, pugnacious fellow came upon the | scene, but yesterday the bharmony so pleasant to contemplate was rudely broken. Incidentally fences, several proud animals’ | spirits and portions of men’s wearing ap- parel were broken at the same time, for this newest arrival woke up in a fighting humor and proceeded to whip every living thing within range of his vision. “That bird is a regular bulidog, he remarked Dan, the keeper of the animals, The Cassowary From New Guinea. after he had regained composure and breath. “The eagle is a bird of prey—so is the hawk; and, faith, I'm afraid he’s an out-and-out bird of prey, too. The eagle and the hawk would be kis meat. Maybe to-morrow he'll tackle a buffalo.” Meanwhile the bird in question looked throu gh the bars with his helmeted head erect and his eye flashing defiance. “Look at him now,” exclaimed Dan. “That fellow is a terror. All he wants now is another ficht. Whatisheanyhow? A bird or a beast? He has no wings and his feathers are hairs. He’s the only ani- mal in the park, barring the bear, thatI'm afraid of.” The victorious bird with a belligerent turn of mind was calmly considering the situation, with one intelligent eye stray- ing from Dan to his new surroundings in | the buffalo paddock, and the other pene- trating orb to all appearances looking for trouble. Dan could not get it absolutely settled in his brain whether the stranger was reail; a bird or some other kind of an animal, but it was nothing more formidable than a cassowary from an Australasian island— arara avisin every sense—brought here by Captain Morse of the steamer Alameda and presented to the Park Commissioners by Mrs. W. A. Nevills. The cassowary ar- rived only a few aays nso at the park and has already distinguished himselfabove all his associates. The cassowary is an interesting bird in many ways, being _one of the peculiar forms of animal life developed in Poly- nesia. The captive in Golden Gate Park is a fair and healthy specimen of his kind. It has a body which might be taken as an object lesson in evolution of animal forms, with the incipient or degenerate wings actually upon its breast, and scarcely visi- ble, so that the outlines are unbroken, from the neck to the tail. The legs indicate ereat strength, being shorter and thicker than those of the emu or ostrich, and the feathers are of a pecu- liar quality very elosely resembiing coarse black hair that tapers away to light brown at the tail. The neck is devoid of hair, short and thick and always painted a bright blue, except around the ear, where | | stoves on credit. | to sign a simple agreement to pay by in- the hue is red. What has had a terrible fascination for his keeper is the head, with a sharp-pointed beak, a mouth that-opens far back of the eye that is keen as a razor, and above all a helmet of horn suggestive of'a battering-ram. Besides there are two monster claws with three long toes each, the inner ones of which are provided with articles of war in the shape of horny spurs, thick as a man’s finger and fully as long. “I told you he was built for business,” Dan remarked, with an air of conviction._ The cassowary was put into ashed in the ostrich gaddock where be would be sheltered and hardened to this compara- tively cold climate. He broke loose yester- | day morning while a son of the superin- tendent was admiring him. Instantly the bird pounced upon the boy and there was a royal steeplechase around a bush in which the keeper took part. Dan lost his coat and vest and Mr. McLaren’s son got a few Xecks that cut his clothes. They es- caped, whereupon the cassowary with his blood boiling attacked the emu. This was a one-sided contest in which the two birds had a lightning race until the stranger saw the ostrich and began a third battle. The ostrich reared himself to nearly twice his usual height, flapped his great wings and stood off the casso- wary gallantly until the keeper, park policemen and laborers entered with sticks | and made peace. The hot-tempered bird was bonund with rope and taken to the buffalo inclosure. But no sooner was he untied than he made an examination of the mountain sheep. This unoffending animal dia not please him, and he gave it a kick that sent it rolling over upon the ground. The sheep got up with some difficulty and scampered off to a place of safety behind the buifalo, and the cassowary went away to rest. FCTTIOUS 1 0 U HOTES Were Obtained All Over the State Under False Pretexts. Simllar Schemes Have Just Come to Light in Bakers- field. Oax1AND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL] 908 Broadway, Sept. 27. } Justice Clift received a communication to-day from Bakersfield asking him for information concerning two men who lost a case in his court several weeks ago, when trying to collect a promissory note saia to have been made to secure payment of a premium cf a life insurance policy. The authorities in the southern part of the State have had several cases reported to them that cause them to think that a neat swindling game is being worked by some men all over the State. At Bakersfield the men are working with a patent stove scheme. The plan is to exhibit from house to house and sell the The purchaser is asked stallments and not to sell or part with the stoves till the last installmentis paid. The next thing the purchaser hears about is a promissory note for $60 or $70, which is always payable on sight. Many such cases have been reported and the officials hgve asked Justice Clift for in- formation regarding a similar case in his court. *‘The case to which reference is made,” said Justice Clift this afternoon, ‘“is evi- dently the case of John M. Breedlove against R. Glinka. 1t was a suit brought to collect on a promissory note said to bave been executed by Glinka to Fred A. Jacobs and M. E. May, agents of the Ger- mania Life Insurance Company. The evidence was conclusive to my mind that Glinka was induced by Jacobs'to sign an application to be examined by & doctor as to his physical ability to be insured, A little later Breedlove, who, if I remember right, was a clerk in May & Jacobs’ office, brought suit to recover on a promissory note. Glinka, who is a half-educated butcher, swore that he never signed a promissory note and never took out a life- insurance policy. I was convinced that the signature on the note was not that of Glinka and gave judgment against Breed- love.” s ey Accidentally Shot Himself.

Notably among these were the short hurdles, the 220-yard dash, half-mile run, 12-pound-hammer throw, pole vault, 220-yard hurdle and mile run. One excited hammer-thrower let 2o his missile too soon, and it went whizzing over the heads of the bystanders near the bleachers, knocking the board from under a small boy into fine splinters, without injuring the lad. During the early part of the games an unusually great effort was made to confuse the members of opposing teams, but seemingly without much effect.
