Damaging- Evidence Against the Alleged
Church Murderer.
MAIN OF EVIDENCE COMPLETE,
A Reputable lady Member of the Church
Who Saw the Prisoner and Miss Lamont
Enter the Church on the Day of Her
Mysterious Disappearance.
SAN FltANClSCO, Auir, 17. A local papor
lays the Inst link in tlin chain of ovldonco
against Theodoro Duruttt ha3 boon dis
covered. A woman who lives across the
street from Emanuel church hits reported
to tho police that she saw Durant and
Blanche Lainont enter the church at 4:10
on April 3, the day of Mis L unont's dis
appearance. Tho woman's nuiuo Is Sirs.
Leake, and sho lives at No. 131 Bartlett
streot. Sho has been a member of tho
church for a number ot yoars. Sho knew
both Durant and Miss Lamontlntimatoly,
and theroforo oannot bo mistaken with
regard to tho Identity of clthor. Sho says
she has remained sllont since tho discovery
of tho bodies of tho two girls because she
did not Wish to undergo tho anuoyanco of ,
being a witness in the case, nnd did not
consent to dlvulgo hor Information to tho
police until she became convlncod that It
was a auty sue oweu tu sue .iuii.u.
On April 3 Mrs. Loako sat nt tlp win
dow of hor residence nearly nil the after
noon looking for hor daughter, whom sho
expootod to arrive from San Mutoo. At 4
o'clock she saw a couple coming up tho
street, one ot whom she Instantly recog- j
dlzed as Durant; but at first she was
puzzled over tho Identity of tbo girl, buo
thought that the young lady wus Lucille
Turner, but as tho couplo came noarer
Mrs, Leake recogulzod the girl as Blanche
Lamnnt. Miss Lamont woro a short
schoolgirl's dross and curried a packago of
school books. The dress nnd tho school
books wero afterwards found secrotod in
the ohurch.
Mrs. Leake know nothing detrimental
to Durant. Sho had always considered
him "suoh an exemplary young man,"
but notwithstanding that fact sho thought
It exceedingly Imprudent for tho girl to
go Into tho church with him alone. Sho
feared some ono might hnve soon them
and make unploasunt remarks. She Im
agined that they had somo errand In tho
church and wanted to hoo thorn on tho
street again boforo she loft tho window.
Sho waited a long tlmo, but household
duties finally called her to another part of
hor house, nnd she was obliged to give up
her vigil.
Mrs. Leake's testimony complotes "the
chain of ovldonco against Durant. Three
schoolgirls saw Durant and Blanche
Lainont riding on a Powell street car at
2:30 on tho day that MUs Lamont disap
peared. Attorney Qululnn saw the couplo
a fow blocks from tho church a fow min
utes before 4 o'clock. Now comes Mrs.
Loake, who says sho saw Durant and Miss
Lamont enter the church a fow minutes
later. George King, tho organist, has al
ready testified that ha ontorod tho churoh
about S o'elook and saw Durant coming
down from the attlo. Durant's hair was
disheveled, bis face was rod, he was pant
ing for breath, and was In a state of utter
physical and nervous oollapso. In answer
to Inquiries he oxplulnod that he had boon
engaged In repairing electrlo wires In the
organ loft, and bad beon overcome by gas.
An expert electrlolan afterwards oxam
inad the wires, and toatlflod that no ro
palrs of tho nature Durant profossod to
have mad had been made within six
months.
Tho prisoner was somowhat disturbed
today over tho publication ot Mrs. Leak's
narratlvo, and sbowod signs of unoaslnoss
for the first time since his arrest. No
Jurors wore acceptod yesterday, and the
court adjourned until Monday.

duced by tho Columbia Brewing Company is

gram, that a meeting between tlio officials of

would bo held in that town yesterday, but it

evince an interest in tlio matter by putting

no intention of doing, and until they do tho
officials say thoy will not take any further
steps. From present appearances it is ex
tremely doubtful that tho connecting linlj
will be built.
