Last night arrange- ments were made with the Southern the disposition of the remains of the executed murderer. Porter Bros., the undertakers who have charge of the work of preparing the body for its re- turn to earth, were notified to arrange the remains for shipment south, and to-day early they will take all that is left of the dead man from the residence of the Durrants, on Fair Oaks street, and place it in a metal-lined casket and send it away on the afternoon train. Mr. Durrant said yesterday that he had a faint hope of the crematory of the south accepting it. Late in the afternoon a dispatch was received from the managers of the Crematory Asso- ciation of the south that the body would not be received by them, but a few hours later another message was received, saying that the body would be cremated at Los Angeles, and it will be sent on to-day.

I can tell whether he had been doing any business, as I used to be with him and knew his system of keeping his accounts. “When I was coming out here last week I met a gentleman on the train, whose name I do not care to give at present, who told me that he had seen the girl, ‘Babe’ Wilson, in the city but a short time before Jack was shot From this I doubt the report which has none of these have been found. so if | 4| | have not seen the books kept by my | And b ns . brother, but as soon as I 100k over them | ban. 5 l;‘,‘:.?:\:l‘;"f,‘“];;(: e e been circulated that she is in China. “I understand that the police force think Jack’'s death was a case of sui- | cide, but nothing can convince me that | he killed himself. and until the contra- | ry is proved I will always believe that | he was murdered.
