And the Judge came in from behind the scenes, as it were, out of his chamber door, instead of pushing his way through the awe-stricken crowd. One familiar face was | that of ex-Juror Seiberlich. He sat over by the stove and lent a homelike air to the scene. But only a few people could see him, whereas he once sat high in the box, the observed of all eyes. Here, for instance, was Ben Napthaly, enjoving a prominent seat not far from Judge Maguire, who just dropped in. Maguire’s face is always agreeable and his nod of recognition hearty, but his was a new face in the crowd. He con- gratulated Mr. Barnes upon his success in conducting the great trial and his speech | at, the close. Mr. Barnes said he valued ucn words from so high a source. They shook hands and all that. It was pleasant | but new. Probability That the Second Charge Against Durrant Will Never | Be Tried. j Now the,bailiff raps for order, cutting | short all pleasantries and reflections. At | least the bailiff's words are not new, but as intelligible as ever. The court has a document in its hands, | as it says: Two events in which tne public are in- | terested were added yesterday to the sum | “William Henry Theodore Durrant, stand up—please.” The prisoner stands. And yet it was | Mr. Barnes rises. “If your Honor please,” he begins., “1 desire to move that the case of the People against this defendant in the matter of the Minnie Williams case be stricken off the calendar for tbe present, the State reserv- | ing the right to recall the case and have it lsec for trial upon two days’ notice to de- fendant’s counsel.” “We have no objection to that,’”” says Mr. Dickinson. | Then the court orders that the request of | the District Attorney be complied with— | and that is all. P —— | MINNIE WILLIAMS’ FATHER. | | He Is the Plaintiff In a Suit Against | Marceau in the Justices’ | Court. | A. E. Williams, father of Minnie Wil- | liams, was plaintiff i a case tried yester- | day before Presiding Justice of the Peace | Barry. He was suing Marceau, the pho- | tographer, for commissions claimed to be due on orders he secured while working | under a contract. His commissions were | 20 per cent on the amount of the orders, | and the amount he claimed to be due was | $175. | He was represented by Joseph A. Coffey | and William A. Chapman, while Marceau | was represented by Mr. McPike of Dunne | & McPike. The contention of the defendant was | that Williams was to receive commissions | only on the work he brought in and which | the customers paid for, and that he had DURRANT AND HIS COUNSEL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGE. total of events that to'go to make up the ; life of Theodore Durrant. | The first of these is that pronouncement of sentence on the verdict rendered in the Bianche Lamont case has been deferred | until Friday morning, November 22. The other is the indefinite postponement of the | Minnie Witliams ¢ In view of the lat- ter circumstance a good many people are led to the belief that the Minnie Williams ; case will never be tried—or, atleast, that it is not the present purpose of the District Attorney to try the case. | When asked if he were going to try the | Williams case, Mr. Barnes replied, “I sup- | pose s0,”” which was not a very positive | statement, and may be fairly construed | into an inclination not to seek to hang! Durrant twice. And for this the public | will probably not be sorrowful. Durrant | has been convictea of the murder of Blanche Lamont. It is hardly thought possible that the Supreme Court will re- verse this verdict, for Judge Murphy’s course throughcut the trial was eminently | fair and impartial, and it is thought that | whatever error he may have made was { surely in the interest of the defendant. | With this conviction in the Lamont case it would seem to be not an unwarranted nor unfair presumption that the man with | whom Minnie Williams was seen to enter | Emmanuel Church just before the murder and in whose pocket was found the purse | of the murdered girl is also guilty of this | second fiendish crime—to a moral cer- | tainty, at least. And a moral certain: would seem sufficient in%his case, seeing that a man can be executed but once in this incarnation, and that the verdict and sentence of a mortal court and jury could hardly be expected to have force and effect in any future mundane existence. But all this is in the abstract. The concrete facts are that Department 3 of the Superior Court, holding session in Judge Murphy’s old courtroom, was as crowded as ever yesterday morning with a multitude of men and women as eager to hear sentence pronounced as it was to wit- ness the closing scenes of the famous trial. Sheriff Whelan was himself on hand with an ample force of policemen in the corri- dors and Under Sheriffs in and about the courtroom, so that the best of order was maintained. Of the defense Durrant was the first one present. Just before court opened his father came 1n and greeted him and sat | next to him on the left. A moment later | the shining silk bat of Mr. Dickinson was seen to wedge its wuy through the crowd. | He took the chair to the right of Durrant. | Neither Mrs. Durrant nor any of her friends were present. The s2ssion was to | last but a moment or two and the sentence was not to be passed. Those most inter- ested knew this and did not trouble to come into court for the few minutes. There was no change in Durrant. He | smiled kindly and quietly to those he | recoguized, spoke with his father and his counsel., and for the rest remained as pas- | sive as ever. 5 Presently Mr. Barnes entered, wearing a black overcoat, which he did not take the trouble to remove, knowing the briefness of the session. Then Mr. Piexotto en- tered. Captain Lees, Detective Seymour | and many of the faces that grew familiar | during the long trial were conspicuously | absent. The lady in shining black silk | and yellow chrysanthemum, who had upon the whole a kindly and pleasant | face to look upon, was not in her accus- ! tomed place in the frontrow of the spec- tators’ chairs. She was missed. And the two ladies with monstrous yellow chry- santhemums ia their bosoms did not com- A | The court proceeds: “You were duly informed against by the District Attorney of this City and County in an information filed against you in this court and accusing you of the willful and malicious murder of Blanche Lamont, a human being, on the 3d day of April, 1895. To this information and accusation you | interposed the plea of not guilty, where- upon the cause was heard before a jdry in this court. After along and painful trial, the jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree. This is the time fixed for pronouncing the sentence of the court. Have you anything to say why the sen- tence should not now be pronounced 2" Mr. Dickinson arises and stands beside Durrant. “You may sit down,” says the court to the prisoner. Durrant resumes his chair. - been paid all that was due him on that score, but that the commissions he clzimed were for work that had not been paid for. They presented a large bill of particu- lars, in which were many well-known names on the delinquent list, among them | Mrs. John Drew for so large a sum as $300 for 1500 cabinets, 200 Paris panels and 55 big 16x20’s. Williams declared that he was not re- quired to guarantee the financial responsi- bility of his customers; if Marceau ac- cepted them and did the work that the commissions were due him. There was no written contract between them. Miss Mary O’Connell, cashier for Mar- ceau, was the only other witness besides Williams, and the case was submitted. * Marceau himself is in the East, and Mc- A. ZENGER, THE WITNESS WHO SAW DURRANT ENTERING EMMANUEL CHURCH. M ay it please the court,” begins Mr. Dickinson, “I desire to ask for a reason- | able time in which to prepare the affidavits to be presented in a motion for a new trial. I have been very busy and have not been able to prepare my motion yet. I have consulted the District Attorney and he has agreed to interpose no objection to my suggestion to the court that the time for sentence go over two weeks from to-da: “No objection,” comes the voice of Mr. Barnes. *“Very well, gentlemen,” says the court, “but I desire to say to counsel that in granting this extension of time I shall expect the counsel to come prepared to argue his motion at the time set. Let the record show, Mr. Clerk, that upon motion of the defendant the sentence of the court is deferred until two weeks from to-day— let me see—that will be November 22, at 10 o’clock in the morning. In the meantime the prisoner is remanded to the custody of the Sheriff.” | Pike tried hard to get a continuance on | that account, but as the case had been re- | peatedly postponed and it was agreed that | this hearing would settle it, Justice Barry refused. The case was originally assigned | to Justice Groezinger, but as he expects to | be a witness in the Durrant-Williams case he declined to hear it. e | PENALTY OF KNOWLEDGE. A Tacoma Man Strengthens Theory of Minnle Willlams® Death. { The theory that Minnie Williams’ death was the penalty of her knowledge of the fate of Blanche Lamont has been strengthened by the following telegram received from Tur CALL’s special correspondent last even- mng: TACOMA, Wasi., Nov. 8. —Clarke H. Morgan, after more thought on the subject, says Minnie Williame was over to seean artist by the name o1 Thors concerning her photographs and_her father on April 3, and that Durrant told Min- nie Williams the social was at the church on the evening of April 12. It has always been a mystery to those who knew herybest why M{u Wlllinms, a virtuous and extraordinarily discreet girl, should go to the church at the hour and under the circumstances she did. If, as has been conjectured and is now claimed, she was led ‘to su jpose the social was to be held at the cfimch, that mystery is solved. It now seems more than ever probable that since the girl was in the City on the afternoon of Miss Lamont’s murder that she may have seen the couple together at or near Powell and Market streets and formed the conclusions which she expressed to Mr. Young and in all probability to Durrant. Secretary Lynch Ill. Robert N. Lynch, Dr. J. G. Gibson’s pri- vate secretary, is seriously ill at his lodg- ings at 901 Valencia street. The natuie of the disorder is not known. Dr. Townsend is the attendant physician. MARKETSTREETTRMFER A Lot Near the Ferries Changes Hands at a Handsome Figure. It Will Have a Glass and Iron Business Building Six Stories High. Another very important sale of real estate on Market street was made yester- day—the second to be announced within a weck. This time it is a lot down near the ferries depot—25 Market street—which for- merly belonged to the Crawford estate. An agreeable feature of the transaction was the price paid for the lot, it being close to $2000 a front foot for a lot 137:6 feet deep. The lot has a frontage of 45 feet | 10 inches, and is deep enough to admit of the construction of a high modern build- | ing upon itand at the same time afford ample room for business, both wholesale and retail. It was bought by W. M. Mec- Carthy, throngh Shainwald, Buckbee & Co., for $80,000. The new owner has leased the lot toa general merchandise firm for a long term of years, with a contract that he shall at once erect a six-story building, specially arranged for and adapted to the occupants’ | uses. As mucb as $70,000 is to be expended in this structure. There will be a high base- ment in addition to the six upper fioos. The basement and first stories are to De constructed exclusively of brick and stone. Beginning with the second story this building will assume a character wholly novel in San Francisco, for the walls are 1o be of iron ana glass throughout. In style it will be similar to the building of Siegel, Cooper & Co., Cnicago, which is one of the very latest innovations in_mer- cantile architecture, the object being MINNIE WILLIAMS' WORDS She Did Say She Knew Too Much About Blanche Lamont’s End. ONE OF THE EXAMINER'S FIBS. The New York Journalist's San Fran- cisco Paper Has Again Been Say- ing the Thing Which Is Not. The unpardonable sin of a newspaper is to be beaten on the news, and it is perhaps natural that a journal finding itself suffer- ing in this way should endeavor to palliate the fault. A favorite course at such a time is to deny the truth of anything that does not appear in the columns of the suffering paper. This line has been followed with success by the Arizona Kicker and other influential journals of like character and has, since the proprietor’s departure, been adopted by the minor Western property of ‘W. R. Hearst of New York. Tre CarL would not have mentioned this—indeed, it is with reluctance” that this paper exposes its neighbor’s short- comings even now—but the Examiner has taken the opportunity recently to refer to news matters it failed to publish, and which did appear in THE CALL, as being untrue. The most recent incident occurred yes- terday. The day before there was pub- lished in this paper a very important piece of evidence against Durrant. The weak pointin the case of the mur- der of Minnie Williams was the absence of proof of Durrant’s motive. The elucida- tion of this point was supplied by a con- versation that occurred between Frank A\ the day before the girl’s death. Minnie Williams on that occasion said to Young, “I know too much about the disappear- ance of Blanche Lamont,” which would, of course, explain why Durrant wished her out of the way. It was unpardonable for a journal pre- tending to be a metropolitan newspaper to have overlooked so important an item, so the Examiner, by way of excuse to its readers, pronounced the story untrue. so happened that the interview referred to was held 1n the presence of several wit- nesses, among them E. L. Marshall, editor of the Alameda Telegram. The accom- panying letter proves the truth of the in- terview: Alameda, Cal. » Nov. 8, 1895.

During the trial of Jesse Sheldon Potter in Judge Buck’s court at Redwood City a day or two ago the prosecution of Potter | on the grounds of fast and dissolute living suddenly dropped after a consultation be- tween the attorneys in the case. It was reported at the time that a private agree- ment had been made by which Potter would admit certain of the chargesin order to keep the matter out of the trialand save his friends. The following is the solution of the matter: Thursday afternoon, just before court aajourned, the prosecution filed supple- mental allegations against Potter, in which several matters that appeared originally were droppeg, but in which the charge that Potter had spent a sum aggregating in the | neighborhood of $200,000 for fast and disso- | lute living still remained. Potter’s answer to this allegation, which was filed in court at the same_time, prac- tically admits its truth by limiting the amount to a sum not exceeding $175,000. It is quite probable, therefore. that Potter wi?l not be recalled, and that he will be relieved from the unenviable posi- tion of being a witness against himseli. CARRIER PIGEON RACE. Birds to Fly From Tres Pinos to San Francisco. A meeting of the Pacific Coast Pigeon Society was held at 625 Market street Wednesday evening. Dr. W. J. Bryan pre- sided, and H. E. Whitman was elected sec- retary. The other members present were G. T. Marsh, A. N. Bayley, T. W. Ley- decker, E. C. Kenig, H. E. Curzon, J. T. Hinrichs, George H. Croley and J. W. Sayers. The members decided to make a large display of fancy pigeons at both the State show, which opens at the pavilion Decem- ber 11, and the Pacific Poultry and Pizeon Association show, to be held “at the Miils Tabernacle, Oakland, January 16, 1896. The State Association offers §1 for first and 50 cents for second prize_on pigeons, and the Pacific Poultry and Pigeon Asso- ciation offers a silver medal for first and diploma for second prize. The club decided to have a carrier pigeon race for both old and young birds, the fly to be from Tres Pinos, which is 101 miies air line from San Francisco. This race will take place December 15, and about h(t{ birds will participate. These birds will be exhibited at the pavilion during the show, before and after the race. e PREFERS PRISON. Mrs. Werner Will Not Leave San Quentin to Be Tried Again. Mrs. Ida JF. Werner, now serving a life sentence for the killing of her husband, has ordered her attorney, Mr. Campbell, to proceed no further in the prosecution of her appeal fora new trial, now pending be- fore the Supreme Court. She says she does not want to go through the strain of a sec- ond trial, as Mrs. Wortlington did, and as Mrs. Jane Shattuck will do, so she has or- dered proceedings stopped, and Mr. Camp- bell will move to dismiss her appeal. . It was believed that under the decision just rendered in the Shattuck case she would have secured a new trial. One of the oftenest worked expedients of men anxious to escape the consequences of their acts is to cry “Stop thief,” and join in the pursuit, In the same article with the denial of the Young interview the New York jour- | nalist’s branch paper has a long story about Miss Effie Clapp. The gist of the story is that this young lady saw Durrant and Minnie Williams near Emmanuel Church shortly after 8 o’clock on theeven- ing of the mnrder. As a matter of fact Miss Clapp saw noth- ing of the kind. She did have a jesting conversation with two giils, in which they told her that nineteen reporters had inter- viewed them, and she gayly retorted that she would have to tell a story to make her- self as interesting as they were. She has repeatedly explained the jest to represent- atives of the Examiner, as well as to all others who have spoken to her on the sub- ject, but the Examiner, nevertheless, seri- ously revamps the story as if it werea trustworthy account of a real occurrence. = ANOTHER MARE’S NEST. Juror Smyth Did Not Visit Em- manuel Church During the Durrant Trial. The following is from the Stockton Mail: The reasons upon which Durrant’s counsel may base their motion for a new trial for their | client seem to be multiplying. Juror Horace Smyth is reported as stating ina newspaper interview that, desiring to satisfy his own mind as to the truth of the defendant’s testi- mony, he went out to Emmanuel Church him- self and examined the electrical apparatus and gas-burner to see if it was possible for Dur- rant to make the repairs as rapidly as he claimed to have made them. Here is what Mr. Smyth is reported as saying: Durrant, of course, did not have to take the stand. The most convincing proof that occurred to my mind was something that was entirely passed over in_the cross-examination by the attor- neys. Mr. Barnes referred to it in his argument, but 1f T had not been treated so shamefully by the newspapers I would have examined Durrant on the matter when he.was on the stand. Durrant stated that he went upstairs in Em- manuel Church to repair the elecirical apparatus and gasburner. He told how he cxamined all the burners: used a card in clearing the tips, lit and relit them, turned the button off and on and walked the length of the church twice. Then he walked across (he raiters, descended a ladder and removed it. This laader was very heavy. Now, Durrant swore that he did all this while George King was playing the piano downstairs. He had heard King commence 10 play and was certain that his work consumed no more time than that young man’s practice. King swore that he was at_the piano only two or three minutes. King and Durraut were chums, and it was evident during the trial_that King was trying to shield the defendant. This made the reason for accep:ing his statement the stronger. It occurred to me that it was an utter and phy- sical impossibility for Durrant to do what h- said in the two or thrée minutes that George King was playing on the piano. I wasout in_the church myself and examined into the matter (o satisfy my mind. 1 am about the same size as Durrant and rather athletic, and T know that even in my best days I could not fix and light those burners, g0 across the rafters a few times. descend o ladder and then remove 1t it two or three minutes, 1 was so certain on this point that Iwould have been willing, and am yet 50,10 bet that no man can accomplish the feat. 1 intended to question Durrant closely on the matter, but thought I would be abused by the pa- pers. His testimony In this regard gave the whole efense the lie. 1 cousidered that when he lied once he lied all the way through. HIs testimony, in regard to the time he spent fixing the sunburners, which was made an impossibility by bis friend King, was enough for me. 1t is not quite clear as 1o the time when this intelligent juror made his investigation, but the inference to be drawn from his statement is that he had taken advantage of some of the intermissions during the trial to go to the church to conduct an independent In- vestigation. If Juror Smyth Daes been foolish enough to do this the defendant will undoubtedly be granted a new trial, and it is aitogether probable that Judge Murphy himself will set aside the verdict if it can be shown to him that & juror has been en- gaged outside the trial in the consideration of matter affecting the rights of the prisoner. If jurorsare to be allowed to conduct indepen- | | In| | | ) o cipslly by an annual catalogue and quarter Young of Alameda and Minnie Williams | s dent investigations there is an end to ell the constitutional rights of a person charged with crime. This Smyth is & queer fisn in the case anyhow. He is guite proud of the fact that he kept notes of all the testimony, the book containing which he intends to retain as & souvenir. He admits that he would have interrogated the prisoner upon some important points only he was afraid of being ridiculed by the news- papers, which hed treatea’ him shamefuliy. This admission will be useful to Durrant’s lawyers as confirming the truth of their asser- tion that the jury bas been from the beginning intimidated by the newspapers. 1If the facts were as the Mail was lead to believe by the interview, the consequences might be as serious as it suggests. AB‘"’ the interview was an Examiner interview. Assistant District Attorney Peixotto is au- thority for the statement that Juror Smyth did not visit the church during the trial except when the Judge, jury and de- fendant went there together before any evidence was given. The church was | guarded by police during the entire trial, | and nobody was permitted to go into the | upper part of the church unless he could show a warrant from the Chief of Police, who would not of course have given such | an orderto a juror in the case. So the | fear of Durrant getting a new trial on this | ground is unfounded. | TO0 HELP IMMIGRATION. A Real Estate Bureau to Be Established by the State Development Committee. The idea of having a real estate men’s convention has been abandoned by the State development committee. Instead it will endeavor to establish a burean for the dissemination of matter that may encour- age immigration to this State and the pur- | chase of land. In the circular letter sent | out on this subject vesterday tbe plans of the committee are fully outlined. Part of | the letter is as follows: We hope to have the co-operation of every enterprising and responsible real estate agent in the State. We hope ultimately to be suc- cessful in arousing a very general desire among Eastern people to reside in this land of sun- shine, fruit ana flowers. Our plan is to advertise California land, pri lists distributed supplemental stereopticon and cooking lecturers, by our Sau Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago offlces, | raiiroad sgents and other sources—at least | 5000 & month. We hope to raise sufficient’ funds to pay the expense of keeping advertisements continually running in over 1000 Eastern newspape: This would call out & very large number of inquiries for homes on_the Pacific Coasi—we | estimate as many as 3000 a month. This method of advertising land is entirely distinct and separate from the general adver- tising of the State through the tqpographical map aund descriptions of California now in preparation, and other methods which we have | in view. The catalogue will contain short de- scriptions of Jand for sale and pertinent and | usetul facts and statistics caleulated to inform | the reader and induce him to immigrate to our Golden State. D. M. Carman $as received an encourag- ing letter from F. W. Crandall, who has charge of the cooking exhibit at Atlanta. | Mr. Carman_reports that as a result of tk cooking exhibits and the sterecpticon le tures there he has received orders enough | already to make a carload of California dried fruits for people hving in sections | where California dried frults had been | almost entirely unheard of before. { through our STATE POULTRY SHOW.|. Secretary Freeman Gives an Idea of | What the Managers of the Associa- tion Have in Prospect. Preparations are now being made by the managers of the State Poultry Association for the poultry exhibition which is to be | held in the Mechanics’ Pavilion the week | following the horse show. They hope to} make a fine display of market fowls, | dres=ed poultry and eggs. Secretary E. H. Freeman said yesterday : A new class has been created for market | poultry, to consist of turkeys, ducks, geese, roosters, both old and young; hens, fryers broilers and capons. Liberal cash prizes are offered ig this class, and Raphaei Weill of the Bohemign Club offers a special prize of $30 to | nconrage the production of capons. A fine exhibit of dressed pouitry will be dis- played in an artistic and pleasing manner, which will be an object lesson intended 1o en- | courage the production of & better class of poultry for market use. With the assistance of Professor Hilgard of the State University they will decide what kind of eggs are the most valuable for food, the ones \vfth brown shells or the white ones, which now bring the highest market price in San Franelsco. Besides a list of regnlar cash prizes whicn the association offers, there is nearls $100 in special prizes, which the President, J. A. Scholefield, C. E. Whitney & Co. and others have contributed to be competed for by the egg producers of the State. ————— Week of Self-Denial.
