12 * THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1895. HAUNTED BY MISS WILLIAMS' GHOSTLY HAND Story of Mrs. McKay, a Strong Witness for the Prosecution. FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE The Prosecution Will Interpose | No Objection to the Motion. DURRANT IS MORE WAKEFUL. District Attorney Barnes Says the Case Will Not Come to Trial Until January. There is no abatement in the interest taken in Durrant, the crime of which he has been convicted and the other, equally s fiendish, with which he is charged. If not be triea for the murder of than usual. Tt is twenty minutes past 8. Now isn’t it odd,” said Mrs. McKay, look- ing up brightly from her ironing, ‘that the time should have been mentioned on that particular evening? It looks as though I was being directed by Provi- dence. “I walked on slowly, for I was_ very tired. I did not look upatall. Itisa habit of mine to walk with bent head, es- pecially when I am tired. I have passed my own children without recognizin, them at such times, and they have langhe: at me about it. *‘Mr. and Mrs. Norman Parrish live at 318 | Bartlett street. That is between Twenty- | fourth and Twenty-fifth. As 1 walked toward Emmanuel Church, on my way home, [ saw some persons justahead of { me. This did not interest me at all and I did not lift my eyes to look at them. I | noticed that the man and woman both | wore dark clothes. What fixed my atten- | tion was the way the woman was using | her hand. She seemed to be excited an | wavea her hand about as though pleading | or resisting. I thought ‘tbat must bea | manand his w she wants him to go somewhere and he won’t; or elseitisa | girl and her lover, and she won’t go some- where he wants her to.’ I noticed nothing else about them.

She and some of her friends were talking of | the murder, and all at once it came to me: MRS. A. McKAY, FRONT OF WHO SAW EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH. [From a photograph.] THE YOUNG COUPLE IN Minnie Williams until January. So says District Attorney Barnes. It has been a puzzling speculation among many why the defendant should be tried on the second charge after having been convicted of | murder in the first degree in the first in- stance. District Attorney Barnes explains Another important statement by the prosecution is to the effect that it will not cppose the defendant’s motion for a change | of venue. The prosecutibn considers the Williams | case the stranger of the two. On that head the defense has nothing to say. The attorneys for the defense do not deny, however, that the first step in that case will be a motion for a change of venue. District Attorney Barnes says he has no knowledge of any new material witnesses in the Williams murder, though it is gen- erally understood the police have been | bending every energy to acquire additional evidence. The witnesses for the prosecu- tion are as firm as ever. The circum- stantial chain is forged link by link as firmly as éye and memory can make it. Zenger, the engineer, saw Durrant and a young girl near the church; Halls, a car- | penter, saw them enter the sacred edifice, and Mrs. Cora McKay has been haunted by the ghostly hand of the dead girl ever since she saw it moving in expostulation to something her escort was saying to her as the former was in the act of enticing her to ber doom. The defendant’s attorneys are as firm as ever in their several beliefs relating to the convicted murderer of Blanche Lamont. They think he is innocent; they believe public sentiment precluded the possibility of a fair and impartial trial, and they will carry the fight 10 the bitter end. “THE HAND HAUNTED ME.” Story of Mrs. Cora McKay, the Aged Witness in the Minnie Wil- llams Case. “That little hand moved before my eyes even in my sleep. It haunted me every hour of the twenty-four and nearly drove me crazy.” Mrs. Cora McKay, the bent, but bright- eyed old woman who isone of the chief witnesses for the prosecution in the Min- nie Williams case, rubbed away vigorously at the tablecloth she was ironing, while she talked of what she had seen and heard near Emmanuel Church on the evening the young girl came to her death. She is a cheerful, industrious old person, with brown eyes whose youthful fire still lingers. Her small shrunken figure gives evidence of extreme age, although her movements as she went from stove to table and table to stove, or stooped over the basket of snowy linen, were as quick as those of a girl. Her conscientiousness and intelligence have made hera trusted servant of many of the prominent families in the Mission. and slmost any day she may be seen wend- ing her way to or from the fine old homes within walking distance of above Lanzer's stable at 306 Ninetgenth stree! : es, ] remember the day of the mur- der well,” she said. *I had been working hard, and wher. I left Mr. Parrish’s Mrs. Parrish said: “Why, Cora, you are later her rooms | | Could that have been the couple I saw? | I told the ladies what I had seen and heard, and after thatI had no rest from subpenas and officers and reporters till | the preliminary trial. “Idon’t know why they want my evi- | dence.

But they think it is and I suppose I'll have to testify, but 1 don’t get anything { for it, and I lose all my time and the cost | of carfare,”” Mrs. McKay said, looking rue- | fully at the basket of linen. Mrs. McKay will round out her seventy- fourth year Frida; | g e | WHAT DEUPREY CONTENDS It Is Not Necessary for His Cllent to Establish His Innocence, He Says. Attorney Eugene N. Deuprey expects to defend Durrant in the Minnie Williams | case and to adhere to the same tactics as in the Lamont case. He took a drive in | Golden Gate Park yesterday morning and got caught in the rain. A near neighbor of his is E. P. Farns- worth, his brother-in-law. Mr. Farns- worth had a rig at Mr. Deuprey’s door early in the forenoon, while the weather was promising anything but rain, and soon the wheels were rolling parkward with the much improved defende of Dur- | rant comfortably seated beside Mr. Farns- worth. The keen, bracing air, says Mr. Deu- prey, was just what he wanted. The rain caught thema while they were rattling along at a merry gait on the south drive of the park, and it was necessary for them to hasten into a wayside resort on D street. They got indoors just in time to avoid a drenching. Mr. Deuprey expects to be at his office and hard at work in a day or two, and yet he is not quite so sure of that. He still appears to be a very weak man. After he returned from his drive he threw himself down on his couch near a cheerful fire and stayed there all the afternoon. “I am simply all broken down—ex- hausted,” explained Mr. Deuprey. “We had to struggle against the mind of the en- tire community. The newspapers preju- diced the Lamont case againstus, and every time we entered the courtroom it seemed as if the very atmosphere was full—oppressively full—of antagonistic sentiment. It was like trymng to pull a four-horse wagon up the side of a steep, high mountain.” e discussed the Lamont case freely so far as he went, but he did not go into de- tails. He gave Tue CaLy credit for fair- | ness and Simpartiality in its handling of the case. ~Some papers, he said, seemed to have a habit of printing a ““fake’’ one day and denying it the next. He hardly thinks that the motion fora new trial in the Lamont case wiil be made next Friday, as the necessary papers can not be got ready in time, and he is not dis- posed to discuss the Williams case until the proper time and in the proper way. *“We are resting now after our defeat,” he remarked, “and it will probably be a few days before General Dickinson, Judge Thompson and myself can get together, "1 expect to be downtown soon, certainly be- fore the end of the week. “When we do get together the first thing to be considered will be the bill of excep- | tions we must file_to_ sustain our motion | for a new trial. I think we will have to ask for a continuance on Friday, because the preparation of our bill of exceptions is | not going to be an easy task by any means. “We will have to go through the wholte Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Rl Baking ABSOLUTELY PURE Powderi | record from beginning to end. Judge Murphy made enough errors to allow of ten new trials being granted. I could not specify just what our reasons will be for a new trial until I have the record to pro- ceed upon.” The impression Mr. Deuprey conveved was that the bill of exceptions would be a voluminous document. “Judge Murphy erred from one end to the other,” said he: “from_ the motion for a change of venue to Mr. Barnes’ argument. It would take me three hours to begin to go into particulars, ana I am not able to specify all our exceptions off-hand. As I say I would have to have the official record before me. “It seemed as if the newspapers, the community and the court labored under the idea that the burden of proof was on Darrant instead of on the prosecution. Under our system the accused is to be presumed innocent until Yroven guilty, and the task of proving guilt lies entirely with the prosecutor. We do not have to establish innocence, though the popular idea seems to be that the defendant is under that obligation. I believe the time will come when the community and the gress will realize that a great wrong has een done this poor fellow and his family. “Now, 1 contend that the evidence does not prove Durrant guilty; that the mind of the public was prejudiced against him by the newspapers; that it was practically a newspaper-tried case; that the court erred in its rulings from beginning to end; that the strictures of District Attorney Barnes were uncalled for, and our objec- tions to them should have received proper judicial consideration; that some of our nstructions as to circumstantial evidence, alibi and character and condition of wif nesses, which we asked the court to in- clude in his charge to_ the jury, were wrongly omitted by Judge Murphy, and that from beginning to end we have been compelled to labor at the greatest of dis- advantage and expected to do just what the law does not ask us to do. I believe our client to be innocent, and yet I am not very much surprised that we failed to convince twelve minds of that fact when I consider that almost every mind in the community appeared to be set against us. As a matter of law I do not believe that the evidence was strong enough and of a character to convict, an we shall insist upon the full recognition by the courts of the rights of the accused. The established theory of law is thata man’s innocence is to be assumed—he is 10t required to prove it—but the practice in the case just ended would lead one to believe that the contrary is the rule. The prosecution has not proved, and cannot prove, Durrant a guilty man.’’ {r. Deuprey will stick fast to this posi- nin defending his client in the Wil- liams case, namely, that the burden of proof rests entireiyon the prosecution. If every suspected man had to prove his in- nocence, he reasons, where would it end? And any man, he argues, might be the victim of circumstances that would point the finger of s icion at him and he still be innocent. Such evidence as the court admitted in the Lamont case, Mr. Deuprey thinks, might have influenced the jury to convict any other man, save that he does not believe that it was convicting at all, and he will so contend in the higher court if the motion for a new trial be denied by Judge Murphy. He did not deny that the first step in the Williams case would be a motion for a change of venue. atig i EARLY SUSPICIONS. Statement Made by Chlef Crowley on April 14. Chief Crowley prepared a statement for the press on April 14, the day of Durrant's arrest, and the same appeared in Ty CALL on the morning of the 15th, as follows: “I was informed that Durrant called to see Miss Williams at Mr. Morgan’s resi- dence, Visale station, Alameda, the latter part of last week, and he said he would like to ask her something special. She replied that if he had anything to say, to say it then, and she then told him that she was going over on Friday to attend a social by her church, which was to be held at Dr. Vogel’s house that Friday. At 3 o’clock that day she left her home in Aia- meda to go to the hair-dresser, returning to her homein Alameda in time to catch the 4 o'clock train and boat for this City, which she did. I learned that Durrant was seen at the ferry on that day at 4 p. a. by two different persons. “She arrived in this City and went to Vogel's house, 1707 Howard street, getting there about 5 o’clock. At about 7:15she left Mrs. Vogel's house, and saying she was going to attend a church social at Dr. Vogel’s house. *‘She did not attend the social, but a per- son answering her description and a per- son answering Durrant’s description were seen at the corner of Bartlett and Twenty- third streets at about 8:30 p. x. that night. They went down the street toward the church and remained a short time in front of the gate at the side entrance. The man was noticed to have made a motion as if using a key and opened a door and they were both seen to go in. Durrant made his appearance at Dr. Vogel's house at about Y gcr 10 r. n. and remained there The until 11:30. s+ “Dr. Vogel states that at the time Dur- rant arrived at his house he noticed that he was somewhat exercised and that great beads of perspiration came from his fore- head. His hair was disheveled and he asked Dr. Vogel’s permission to wash his hands and comb his hair before he made his appearance where the young people were, stating to the doctor that he had just returned from the Signal Corps and consequently his hands were soiled. He afterward came downstairs after washing his hands and combing his hair, and dur- ing the evening read s%f'[ter purporting to have come from his sister in Germany, and after reading the letter he seemed more composed. About a month ago I am in- formed that on one occasion Durrant ac- companied a young lady from church, and during the conversation asked if she was not suffering from some complaint. “‘When Durrant left Dr. Vogel’s at about 11:30 he left there in company with a young man named Wolf nmfs number of young ladies. They walked from Vozel’s house to Twenty-fourth and Howard streets, where they separated and Durrant continued west on Twenty-fourth street. At about 12:25 Wolf went to his stable and saddled his horse and crossing the corner of Twenty-fourth and Bartlett streets, noticed Durrant standing on that corner. These facts being made known to me I detailed Detective Seymour to Tamalpais, understanding that Durrant was to go there, and Detective Anthony to go to Mt. Diablo. 1 was informed that Durrant might be at either place. “I also came to the conclusion that the same person who murdered Miss Williams had something to do with the disappear- ance of Miss Lamont. I kept these facts to myself and only advised the detectives who were working on the case of my sus- picions. I told them thatI also thought the body of Miss Lamont would be found in the church. I accordingly instructed Detectives Gibson and Cody to take what force of officers they required and make a thorough investigation of the church. They, with Sergeants Burke and Rey- nolds, went to the church and found the body of Miss Lamont in the steeple. I then directed Sergeant Burke, being satis- fied that my suspicions were correct, to go, on my responsibility, to Durrant’s house and search for anything procurable. Burke took Officer Joseph with him, and the; found a long ulster and a photograph al- bum containing a photo of himself and two of Miss Williams, and in the pocket of the ulster was found the purse of Miss Williams, containing an Oakland car ticket. The purse %as been positively identified by Miss Williams’ father, as he ave it to her as a Christmas gift last Christmas.” , The fact that the Chief had laid the foundation for the chain of circumstantial evidence so adroitly welded together by Captain Lees and Kis force has been en- tirely lost sight of. 3 Captain Lees was at the time of the dis- covery of the murder of Minnie Williams in Iros Angeles, and the Chief for a week afterward had the entire direction of affairs, and he showed the same sagacity and skill im tracing the murderer as he did in the ‘West case. : 3 The body of Minnie Williams was dis- ocovered between 16 and 11 o’clock Satur- day morning, April 13. Sergeant Burke was not notified of the discovery till about two hours later, and he immediately tele- ghoned 10 police headguartgrs. The Chief ad gone to lunch, and on his return, about 2 o’clock, he was informed of the finding of the body. He rapidly gathered all the facts and at once set the whole machinery at his command to work. Detectives were sant to find out who the girl’s male friends were and to bring them to police head- quarters, which was done, and each was interrogated by the Chief. Mr. Morgan bad also been sent for, and from him the Chief learned about Durrant’s visits to his house to see the . He also ascertained about Durrant fiemz seen at the ferry Friday afternoon and leaving with a young tglirl answering Minnie Williams’ descrip- lon. By this time it was about 5 o'clock, and the Chief ordered all the_detectives avail- able to go in search of Durrant and find him at all hazards. Detective Anthony was one of them, and he remarked, ““That’s the young fellow that was traveling with Blanche Lamont."” A “Then,” said the Chief, *‘if we find Dur- rant we will have the murderer of Minme Williams, and 1 am afraid if we find Blanche Lamont she will not be alive.” It was learned from Durrant’s mother that Theodore had not been home since that morning, and she, not having any suspicion that he was wanted by the Bignal Corps. 2 5 The Chief sent Detective Seymour with the last boat to Marin County to find Dur- rant at all cost if he turned up in that lo- cality, but some hours after Sevmour had gone the Chief received information that the Signal Corps was going to Mount Diablo instead of to Mount Tamalpais. It was too late to send any one to Mount Diablo, so Anthony was instructed to leave with the first train next morning. The Chief remained in his office till 3 o'clock Sunday morning receiving reports from detectives and policemen, which eontained material to strengthen him in his conviction that he was on the right trail. body of Blanche Lamont, and the l}nr]ivqg of the photograph album and Minnie Wil- liams’ purse by Sergeant Burke in Dur- rant’s overcoat in his father’s house. The Chief had received a telephone mes- poiice, added that he was going early next | morning to Mount Tamalpais with the | Next morning came the discovery of the | THE BIGGEST FETE VET, German-Born Citizens Transform- ing the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion. MANY ARTISTIC DECORATIONS. Interesting and Instructive Exhibition to Be Given by the German Societies. An army of carpenters, scene painters and decorators made the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion the busiest place in San Francisco yesterday. All were working in a feverish haste to prepare the great building for the | Goethe-Schiller festival, which begins to- morrow evening and continues during the entire week. Besides the workmen, scores of ladies and other participants were as- sisting in the arrangement of the various booths. Even the short time that had been spent upon the Pavilion had worked a wondrous transformation. The hall was no longer the barnlike structure it seems ordinarily. Its vast proportions were minimized by the beautifully painted and artistically ar- ranged booths, which were being put up on all sides. Armored camps adjoin wine- cellars, while a Grecian temple, correct in all its appointments, in which magnificent souvenir books are to be sold, is a near | neighbor of Schiller’s birthplace, where one will be able to buy sandwiches, pret- zels and other delicatessen. All are thoroughly artistic. Photographs of buildings and_ scenes, made famous by the writings of the two master poets, have been followed largely. Most of the booths are to be accurate reproductions of these, laces. They will be extremely attractive cause of their oddity to those who have AUERBACH'S CELLAR, BY GOETHE [4 booth at the S THE WINE GARDEN MADE FAMOUS IN “FAUST.” hiller-Goethe fest.] sage from Anthony that the Signal Corps had passed a certain place, but Durrant was not with them. This set his merves tingling, as he was afraid Durrant might have escaped, and he awaited with fever- ish anxiety for further news. An hour afterward Anthony telephoned that the corps had passed Walout Creek, but Dur- rant was not there, but they were all to lunch at a certain place and Durrant would likely join them. The Chief instructed Anthony to get all the help possible and spare no expense to find Durrant. The hours dragged on and a telephone message came that the corps had partaken of lunch, but Durrant was absent. The Chief had almost given up hope when about 4 o’clock, to his in- expressible relief, he received a message that Duraant was arrested. He at once notified the newspaper men who were waiting in his office and showed them Minnie Williams’ purse, which had been meantime identified by the girl’s father. During the week that followed many de- velopments took place and when Captain Lees returned from Los Angeles the Chief was glad to tarn over the helm to the astute head of the detective force. SE ST DURRANT MORE WAKEFUL. Only Indication of Nervousness the Convicted Man Has Shown Since the Verdict. Durrant spent a quiet day in jail yester- day. He had some visitors, but they were chiefly representatives of newspapers. To look at him one would not suppose for an instant that he had ever been con- victed of the murder of Blanche Lamont. Last night he was lyving upon his bunk, with one leg bent so that his knee was con- siderably higher than his head, and he was reading a book as ealmly as if nothing of a troubling nature had ever occurred in his lifetime. Some persons have indulged a belief that before long he would break down, basing their ideas on the conduct of some criminals in the past, but when Dur- rant put out his light and went to sleep he was the same man as ever—cool, easy, un- concerned. There is only one thing that might be taken as any indication at all of nervous- ness; that is, that since the verdict of the jury he bas not goneto sleep as early ashe was accustomed to during the trial. It was his wont to retire for the nightat11o’clock or earlier, but for the two nights following the verdict his eyes did not close in slum- ber until a late hour. Lastnight he ap- peared to go to sleep earlier, however, than the might previous. Saturday night and yesterday Durrant devoted more or less to_ writing. He says he is preparing some literary matter for ublication. He had been writing, he said, ut it was not about the case which has filled the public mind. Asto speaking of either the Lamont or Williams cases he eays he cannot, in view of the instructions of his attorneys. “I have wanted to talk,” he remarked, “and it has almost driven me crazy to have to keep my mouth shut, but my at- torneys are managing my defense, and they keep telling me not to say anything to any one, and I simply have to obey. Every time 1 am reported as talking at all I am taken to task agom it by my attor- neys. I have, therefore, made up my mind to simply be polite and pass the time of dn{ with the reporters, and that is all. I shall keep my wicket closed and not see any reporter at all if I can help it.”” WEAR ordinary underwear,keep your cold; wea Jaros hygienic underwear and lose it; pealth and money saver.

The construction of the booths was go- | ing on yesterday under the personal super- | vision of E. A.Otto, the designer. In the big machinery department August Dietz | and a score of scenic and fresco artists were | finishing the hangings, side walls, back- grounds and other minutiw of decorations. Some of the work of Mr. Dietz is charm- ing and will well deserve preservation. The largest of the booths is to be Auer- bach’s Cellar, the “‘wine garden.” Already this has assumed much of its final attrac- tions. This is the building made famous | by being the scene of Mephisto’s tricks in “Faust,” where the wine bibbers see their noses as great bunches of grapes and pre- pare to cut them off. It will be thronged with students and peasants, whose songs will keep the walls ringing, and thirty-two pretty girls in attractive costumes are to supply the visitors with wine. The witches’ revels on the Brocken are to be given with the most impressive of scenic | effects. The “Witches’ Cave’' is already | nearly completed, and is arranged with creepy designs of the awful things one dreams of in nightmares. Within the cave weird effects will be produced by well- placed incandescent lights, and there are to be dances by the witches and also a true forecasting of the events of the lives of the curious. The scenes in the mountains of Switzer- land are to be realistically produced in the icecream_ booth. One of the most inter- esting pictures in the building is a repre- sentation of the point in the lake where Wilham Tell leaped from his boat while escaping from the tyrant Gessler, after hnvinE shot the historic apple from his son’s head. This is only one of the many scenes, which will be instructive as weh as entertaining. Never before has so extensive a fete of similar character been attempied in San Francisco. Its extent may be realized from the fact that nearly $12,000is to be expended before the doors ofgthe Pavilion are opened. Over 500 ladies and as many men will be in picturesque costumes, nar- | monizing with their surroundings and | faithful to the original in every particular. These costumes in themselves would cost $5000 more were it not that each partici- pant assumes the charge. The pro- grammes for the entertainment in the evening will be most varied, and could not reproduced under private management for less than the total expense that will be incurred, so that the week’s entertain- ment will be one such as S8an Krancisco never saw before. Three years ago the German societies ave a festival for the “Altenheim’ or Old cople’s Home. Their expenses were then $6000, and they gave a series of perform- ances that are still remembered. This vear they are going to twice the expense they did then, and expect to give an entertain- ment_that will be interesting to a corre- sponding degree. The mainstays of the evening perform- ances are to be the chorus of 500 male voices under the direction of Theodore Vogt and the orchestra. On the opening night there are to be speeches by promi- nent citizens and a parade of the partici- pants in costumes and of the various Ger- man societies in their uniforms. Each night thereafter special attractions will be presented, all of which will be of engross- ing interest. . After the fixed programme of the even- ing has been given the sideshows will begin. There are to be twenty booths. Some of these are for the sale of refresh- ments, but nearly all will present features | of more than ordinary interest. No effort, | however, will be made to wheedle an un- willing dollar. ‘‘We expect to get our main returns from admissions at the door, and we ex- pect to give all their money’s worth in entertainment,” said Mr. Dohrmann, the chief of the bureau of publicity. “No one need fear that he will be solicited to spend anything outside of this. There will be vlenty of things to buy and an army of pretty girls to accommodate those wishing to purcrase. But the visitors who merely wish to feast their eyes and ears will be as welcome as those who come with a desire to swell the fund for the monument to Goethe and Schiller by larger expendi- tures.” The souvenir of the festival is a book, handsomely bound and printed. One of its featuressis facsimiles of poems written specially for the festival by Germany's greatest living poets. The book also con- tains poems and addresses by local writers and half-tone reproductions of all the booths made from the original wash draw- ings. These souvenirs are to be sold for a mere nominal sum. ALL doctors don't prescribe the same medi- cine; all good doctors recommend Jaros hygi. enic underwear. Morgan Bros., 229 Montgry.
