THE DURRANT TRIAL.

Attorney Duprey, for the defense in
the Durrant case at San Francisco,
made his opening statement yesterday.
He said he would show that on the
morning of April Durrant left his
home for that of George King for the
purpose of making arrangements for
the latter to help him fix the gas appa-
ratus in Emmanuel Church in the af-
ternoon. He met Blanche Lamont on
Twenty-frst and Mission streets.
She was waiting for car to take her
to the high school and invited him to
take ride with her. He left her at
the high school and continued on his
way to Cooper Medical College, where
he remained until $3.50 o'clock or later
1t would be shown by the college
records and otherwise that Durrsnt had
attended the lecture, which would take
him up to about o'clock; that he left
the college at $3.50, took 8 car, and
reached Emmanuel Church at five min
utes to FIVE o'clock.
Witnesses would be introduced to
prove this, and that when he reached
the church he went into the library
room, left his coat and hat there, and
then went up stairs to fix the sun
burners, where he was overcome by
gas. Everything that occurred in the
church subsequently, as stated by King,
would be admitted. It would be shown
that Durrant saw King home from
church and then proceeded to his own
he or
after short time retired.
The defense will further show that
the accused wore an entirely black suit
on that day, and this will disprove the
testimony of Mrs. Vogel, who swore he
wore light pair of trousers. Mrs.
Leaks testimony would also be proved
to be valuele55, as her sight is defec-
tive. AS to witness Oppenheim, it
would be shown that he was visited by
a young man who wore blue oyercoat
as Oppenheimer had described, aud
who offered rings for sale similar to
those of the murdered girl, but that the
pawnbroker was entirely mistaken ss
to his visitor being the defendant.
In the course of his statement Mr.
Duprey announced that Durrant would
take the stand.
After recess Mrs. Matilda Durrant,
mother of the prisoner, took the stand
as the first witness for the defense. She
testified OH the morning of April her
con was dressed in blue cheYoit suit,
the blue trousers of which she identified
and the garment was introduced in
evidence. Mrs. Durrant stated that
her son returned home that evening
shortly after o'clock, dressed in the
same blue chevoit suit. He wore no
oyercoat. She testified that the trous.
ers were made to order by local
tailor.
When Theodore left home on the
of April he kissed his mother
goodbye and saluted her in the same
manner when he returned at night.
The family dined that evening at 6:l5,
but the witness said Theodore hsd
little appetite and he didn't look well.
At 8 O'Clock that evening he took his
mother TO a street car and when she
at 1l:S0 he was il bed asleep:
Police Sergeant Reynolds described
The chisel marks on the belfry door.
He searched for a tool with which the

commences a eoUpiet triplet in which the def
milton of the acrOstical word is concealed.
The first principle in q perfectly constructed

teal rOTd TO be discovered. The remainder OF this
word Is to be found in the word or words immedi-
aeiy following the ncrostical syllable but always
by sound. and not by photography. For instance,
in No. 2O05 Of Mystery occurs this couplet:

Is it necessary to state that Gilbert Charles
Stuart is the name referred to, the author OF

conscious of power, but modest in its assump-
| ton.
This is a legacy left to Americans by the
only painter whose genius was equal to the
undertaking.
1t may not be known TO all that Stuart left
most lucrative patronage in London for the
avowed purpose of painting this portrait. for
at the time there were but two artists in all
England who received more for their work.
and these two were Sir Joshua Reynolds and
GainsborOugh. Toabandon field in the midst
OF all the Injuries and relinements of the rich
capital. where success was assured and future
well established, was of itself an act of hero
ism worthy of the highest praise, for at that
time ms studio was thronged with stters
drawn from the first families of the realm.
while he eDjoved the esteem of all his CON
temporanes lie was especially favored by
the friendship of West, whose powerful influ-
ence was always used in his behalf 10 leave
these pleasant associations, with all their
bright prospects, for a life of comparative
hardship in new country, where his talents
could not be appreciated to any extent, must
have cost the young artist a sharp struggle.
The object of this article, however, is not
biographical, but to call attention to the
shameful neglect that has allowed the grave
OF this remarkable man to lie unmarked, and
all but forgotten, for nearly 10 years.
Had Stuart followed the example of his
friend West, and become a citizen of Eng
land land he had every inducement TO do sol.
his marble bust would now be found among
those OF the great painters, poets, and histori-
ans of his day; for, with all her faults Eng
land never iOrgets to honor her children of
genius, thereby placing premium on talent,
and encouraging succeeding generations TO do
their " best " IN every line of human effort.
