New Developments in the Durant Case
Add to Its Interest.
HISTORY OP THE TRU'LE CKIME
The Confession of WIIHbbs F. Barrett
That He Committed the Celebrated
Emaaael Church Murders Is Not
Credited by the Police.
San Francisco. July 25.-fhe trial of
the young medical student, Theodore
Durant. for the atrocious murder of
Blanche Lamont. a school girl, lit
Emanuel Baptist church last April,
continues to attract great attention.
The general opinion Is that the Jury
will disagree, us sentiment here Is
against convicting any one on purely
circumstantial evidence.
A new turn has been given to the case
by the confession, at Santa Cruz, of
William P. Barrett, that he had com
mitted the murders of which Durant
stands accused. Barrett, who was
formerly a waiter in a San Francisco
restaurant, says he saw Durant' and
the girls on street car, and, admiring
Miss Lamont and Miss Williams, he
boarded the car In the hope of making
their acquaintance, followed them to
the church and killed them. The police
scout Barrett's story as being the va
porlngs of a lunatic; but many people
here are Inclined to credit It.
Queer Series of Crimes.
There la nothing In the history of
crime which surpasses In its intensity
of Interest the series of murders for
which Durant stands trial for his life.
Durant is either an exemplary young
Christian and the victim of a strange
link of criminating circumstantial hap
penings, or he Is a cool, methodical, cal
culating fiend; paranoiac more daring
than "Jack the Ripper," and a monster
who turned a house of worship Into a
slaughter-house for the gratification of
the basest passions.
Two beautiful girls were murJered
In a San Francisco church, both mur
ders being committed within a period
of .ten days. The church was In a
thickly settled part of the city, but thus
far the police have found no eyewit
nesses to the tragedies. In the face of
the strongest kind of circumstantial
evidence, Durant maintains his Inno
cence and points to his life long record
as an earnest, consistent Christian as
proof that he Is Incapable of the crime
charged.
The mutilated body of tMlnnie Will-
lam was found In the library ef Eman
uel Baptist church of San Francisco,
April 13 of the present year. The fol
lowing day a search of the belfry of
the church resulted In the discovery of
the naked and decomposed bodv of
Blanche Lamont, who dlsappea ed
April 3. William Henry Theodore Dur
ant was arrested and a coroner's Jury
charged him with these murder. He
is also accused of the killing of Eugene
Ware, a friend of the murdered srirls
aril his in timate companion.
Most Grotesque Type of Crime.
Durant was to all outward slams a de
vout young Christian, the librarian and
superintendent of a Sunday school, an
earnest, cons latent an 3 Intelligent work
er In the Baptist church. He came from
good family, a.id to suspicion of
wrongdoing would foe entertained by
those who knew him as a church mem
ber. Blanche Lamont and 'Minnie Will
lams were members of Emanuel Bap
tist church. There will toe evidence In
troduced In the trial to prove that Dur
ant betrayjd Blanche Lamont. The
theory of the police Is that Durant first
killed Blanche Lamont, for reasons bevt
known to himself, and then murdered
the Williams girl so as to rid himself of
the only witness he fearsd.
But there was another witness, decree
King, the church organist, was prac
ticing on the organ the afternoon that
Blanche Lamont disappeared. About S
o'clock that afternoorv he saw Durant
come down from the organ loft greatly
excited and overheated. Durant calmed
down and explained that he had been
fixing some electrical appliances In the
lof u The body of Miss Lamont showed
that she had been assaulted, strangled
and then hacked with e case knife.
brok&ri parts of which were found In the
wounds, The body had keen dragged
up the narrow belfry stairs. The
clothes were found hidden around the
church. (Minnie Williams Was found in
the t-'brary, her mouth Mled with strips
of cloth, and 'three knife wounds In the
region of the heart.
Damaging Testimony.
Two witnesses will swear that they
saw Durant and Miss Williams enter
the church that evening. It will be
shown that on two occasions Durant
attempted to make an appointment
with Miss William, who lived with the
family of Dr. Vogel, at Alameda, across
the bay. The day she was last seen
alive she left Dr. Vogel's at 4.30 and
went to the house of Mrs. Voy. She
left Mrs. Voy's at 7 o'clock to attend a
meeting and was found dead In the
library the following day. Durant left
home at 7 o'clock and cannot account
for his whereabouts until 9.30. When
arrested, Miss Williams' pocketbook
was In his possession. Durant said he
picked it up on the street. Both girls
were strangled by a man who used his
left hand. Durant la ambidextrous.
Eugene Ware was killed by man whm
clutched his throat with his right hand
and made eighteen stab thrusts with
his left hand. Durant and Ware were
members of the state signal service
corps.
An examination of the corpses dis
closed the fact that the murderer de
Uberately mutilated the bodies after
life was extinct Durant was a medl
cal student, and both murders show
that the crime was committed by some
person who understood his business.
When Blanche Lamont disappeared
Durant haunted the newspaper offices
and was prolific In advancing all kinds
of theories as to her whereabouts, but
always insisted that she would event
ually be found alive. When arrested
he was on his way to Mount Diablo to
Join the signal corps. . Durant protests
his Innocence, asks an examination of
his church record, says he can prove
an alibi In both cases, claims that he
Is not strong enough to have carried
Blanche Lamont's body up the belfry
stairs, and absolutely denies all knowl
CARLISLE OUT OF THE RACE.
Ue Says That He Does Not Waat the Office
of President.
Richmond. Va.. July 25. A represen
tative of the State had an Interview
with Secretary Carlisle yesterday. The
Interviewer said to iMr. Carlisle that
many Democrats regard him as a
strong man for president regarded
him as. the only legitimate successor
to Mr. Cleveland.
"Well," responded the secretary,
"notwithstanding the fact that - the
presidency Is the greatest honor that
can be (bestowed. I do not want the
office. I have seen too much of the
hard work attaching to It. The re
sponsibility Is not only tremendous, but
the work multiplies and becomes more
exacting every year. A man must
have an Iron constitution to stand it.
I am sincere when I say I do not want
the nomination. I will certainly do
nothing toward getting the nomination."

the sheriff, knocked a hole through the
wall and broke open about sewn locks
before reaching the negro's cell.
When the mob arrived at his door he
showed fight, having secured a crow
bar, and had to be shot several times
before the mob could get hold of him.
He was carried out to the scene of his
crime, which Is about fourteen miles
from Hattlesburg, for Identification,
and If he proves to be the right party
it Is certain that he will be lynched, and
there Is talk of burning htm at the

Attorney Qeneral McCormlck's atten

ANOTHER GHASTLY DISCOVERY

Piettel Murder Was
Committed.
Toronto, July 25. In accordance with
the finding of the coroner's Jury, charg
ing II nl me with the murder of the Plat
xel children. Attorney Dewart laid the
verdtot and warrant before the attor
ney general's department today and
proceedings for Holmes' extradition will
be at once entered upon. Every effort
will be made to have Holmes tried In
this city. The evidence of murder Is
thought to be much stronger here than
anywhere else.
The tenant of the' cottage In which
the murder was done has found a smaill
piece of material, apparently a portion
of what has been a light-colored waist
and a scarlet hair string, knotted as
though It had been pulled from a plait
of hair. Thla find furnishes another
proof of positive Identification of the
bodies as 'those of Alice and Nellie
Pietzel.
Will Let Holmes flo to Canada.
Philadelphia, July 25.-;The verdict ar
rived at by the Toronto coroner's Jury
last night, charging H. II. Holmes with
the murder of the two Pletxel children,
has eliminated from the mysterious case
one of the uncertainties that has con
fronted the Philadelphia authorities.
The chances are now almost beyond
doubt that Holmes will be taken to
Canada to stand trial for the murders.
It will require at least two months be
fore the accused can be extradited.
A BLOODY SHAM BATTLE.
Soldiers of the First Brigade Affected by
the Realism Crate and Punch Each
Other's Heads.
Sanltoga, Pa., July 25.-JThe Sixth
regiment broke the monotony of the
First brigade er.cMmpment this morn
ing with a thrilling sham batltle, which
developed Into a conflict that equalled
a college foo't ball match In roughness,
and which sent a number of soldiers to
the hospital for repairs. Between the
first, and second battalions there has
been' the greatest rivalry, which, it Is
believed, Is to a great extent geo
graphical and political. It was practical
ly a fight between dives ter and Dehv
ware county on the one skie and Bucks
and Montgomery on the other.
The battle began all right, but as the
commands got together the men began
to lose their heads. Companies charged
down on cocih ther, rlrlng volleys of-
tilank cartridges, 'then closkif In a
hand to hand tussle, oiuUbing musketta,
punching each others noses, and rolling
all over the ground. (Hoarse commands
to surrender were answered by wild
yells of defiance, and then they hustled
and tore amd shouted and swore, hut
never surrender, until they became a
wild, indistinguishable mob, wlltih offi
cers galloping and running frantically
among them making vain efforts to
stop the battle. Company C, of Ches
ter, under Captain .IftrowH charged
Ccmipa!ny D, of PWoenlsvlfle, undler
CaptaHn Walters, with whom was Lieu
tenant Colonel Sterrton. A fierce volley
was fired by CompanyD, and under the
rules the Chester company should have
'been repulsed and captured. But on
Uhey wci.vt with fierce f bouts, charging
slap-bang Into Company D, capturing
Captain Walters and Lleutenar.lt Col
onel Sten'ton as they claimed, or being
captured by the lieutenant colonel as
he claimed. So far as the spectators
could Judge, both claims were right,
and the fight was a stand-off between
tine Phoctntxvllle Iron workers and the
Chester athletes. Thla episode was re
peated all over the field of battle, hut
tine officers, some of whom were
scratched up themselves, finally got the
warriors separated and the continua
tion of the battle was Indefinitely post
poned. At least score of soldiers were
badly banged.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Camp Curtin. Mt Gretna, July 25.
The Thirteenth covered themselves
with glory tJay and proved that they
were fully entitled to the high ratlt
given them alt the spring Inspection.
They now have the highest rating for
dUUing in the state.
It was gurprsintr with what accuracy
end promptness the dtffere-rat evolutions
were performed' while it he innpeotion
drill was in progress. They astonished,
the Inspecting olllcer, who congratu
lated them warmly on their proficiency.
Comnllnu-nts flew thick and fast, and
they were deserved. When, the First
bait'talion, commanded by Major Whit
ney, winch comprises companies u,
H ami F, ptrformd twenty-one
military movements in seventeen mrtn-'
utea they made the record for -the fast
est time in the state; the beet previous
record being eighteen minutes. They
held lt for but a short time, as 'the First
battalion, commanded by Captain Bar-
nat:d, and comprising Companies A, B,
C and D, later made the fastest time ever
made in the state, performing the same
number of evolutions in twelve min
utes and a half.
The Last Was First.
The Thirteenth was last to be In
spected, and there is greait rejoicing In
the verlflcatfon' of the saying that the
last eha H be first.
The work of Inspection was divided
mong different army officers, and was
done In remarkably short time. Major
Patterson, when inspecting the pieces
of the members of Company C, said to
Captain Chane, Lieutenants Robllng
and Raub, "I consider it as my good
fortune to be selected to Inspect this
regiment. It Is far superior to any
other In the state. It Is the personnel
of the men I look at; the pieces are
generally clean. There Is no better
looking body of men In the state." He
complimented W. S. Gould, of C, on
the condition of his gun and uniform.
Major Millar eald Company B guard
was the finest he Inspected.
Colonel Leyster, of the United States
army, said that drill was the best he
ever saw In his life, the precision being
phenomenal. The members of Company
C could not be surpassed. The guns
of thirty men were nut examined be
cause of their good appearance.
Major Barnard was surprised and de
lighted and warmly congratulated Cap
tain Chase. General Gobln said Major
Barnard Is the best major In the state.
In every company great preparations
had been made for the inspection.
Preparing for Inspection.
After brief amusements on the pre
vious evening the work was begun and
continued long in the night. At 7 o'clock
m. preparations were completed, the
quarters and guns were cleaned, tents
thrown open and t accoutrements
placed outside. At 8 o'clock a thorough
inspection was made from the colonel's
staff to Company C, the last to be in
spected. Major Whitney was warmly con
gratulated by the Inspecting officers
and was highly pleaded, as he did not
think his record would be beaten. The
weather wa delightful, and the camp
was thronged with visitors, those of the
female persuasion predominating.
While one of the cavalrymen was giv
ing an exhibition of trick riding with
tihe finest horse In the troop, the animal
fell over backwards and its neck was
broken. Edward Kingsbury arrived to
day. Mlfs Phenle Kleper, of Scranton,
visited her brother, of Company U, Ho-
day. She Is spending a vacation near
here. The afternoon drill was followed
by dress parade and reviewed by the
governor and Major Morrv'H. iBven the
visitors could notice the superior
marching of the Thirtes-nt'h. The
Ninth regiment also came in for con-
hlera'ble applause for 'their splendid
marching. The regiment will leave
here at 7 o'clock Saturday morning.
Their glorious .record makes them eager
to reach home.
