The officers did find those footprints. They measured them and found as stat ed, that they were made by a man wear ing No. s or 9 shoe. As Durrant's shoe IS No. 5 or 1t will not fit the tracks. The police at the city hall are subordinating that circumstance. They know they have got to catch and hang somebody for these murders. 1 don't believe Durrant is the guilty man."
 The coroner resumed his inquiry int the death of Minnie Williams this morning an hour earlier than yes l terday, but for an hour before the doors opened the crowd commenced to gather, and a detail of police men had all it could do to keep the curious throng quiet. Considerable interest was manifested by those present in the proceedings, as it was generally expected that some very sensational tes timony would be introduced by women witnesses, and other links added to the chan of evidence against Durrant. Judge Thompson, the accused mans attorney, arrived on time but bis client failed to put in an appearance. It was soon learned that the prisoner did not attend unless his presence was request ed by Coroner Hawkins. That gentle man thought Durrant's presence Deces- sary and asked the chief of police to have bim sent to the coroner's office.
 No disturbance whatever was created by the arrival of the prisoner who looked trlfie worn. but carried himself we'll, a smile lurking around his mouth; but that was all.
 Dr. Gibson was late but appeared after slight delay. He was the first witness called. Ee testified that he had never been in the belfry of the church until the 10th inst, and be had only seen Miss Williams three times to his certain | knowledge. He had never been very in- | timate with Durrant; did not identify | the body at first sight; identified the | broken pieces of the knife as those found | near the body, and also a stick used to | tamp the cloth into Miss Williams mouth.
 Durrant at first objected to attending the inquest. He said he had been advis- sd by bis attorneys that the police had no right to force him to attend, but when the police insisted he went with put resistance.
 Chief Crowley was much worried over his and is afraid Durrant's attorney will
  :ase comes to trial.
 The coroner, however, has been ad- 'ised by the district attorney and insist d that Durrant should attend.
 Durrant slept we'll last night and en- oyed hearty breakfast. He read the morning paper with interest and spends most of hIs time reading or talking to isitors. He resents being stared at.
