SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.

The great murder case in San Francis
co has continued the absorbing topic
In fact it has been given more notorieiy
than it deserves, not, that the crime was
not heinous enough to be noticed min
utely, but that the influence is not in
spring. Among other things the cral.k
has been given a chance TO make show
ing, and at least two have been women.
Right here it may be seid confidently
that more women think Durraut inno-
cent by large majority than men His
friends are mostly OF the gentler sex,
whose hearts bubble over with sympa-
thy, sometimes even when man Is cap

not rush frahtically icTwR'd and cry
that this man is no. guilty but they
would point out the guilty person. None
OF there can they do, for they are all
axes. An interesting thing about the
case that continues to assume form is
the course CT the defendant in rejecting
upon the character OF Rev. Gibson. In
deed there are many suspicious things.
The fact tha. he was at Vogsls from s
o. clock until after IL is the only thing
that keeps public sentiment at all in
his iayas. The writer believes he is not
guilty and that Durrant is.
How frequent is the remark made /:

transformed the father from the necessity
of answering the light accusation of

justice upon the fearful charge of murder.
The Intention was the same, the malice

This seems an Inconsistency in human laws
that makes thus murderer by the result of
the blow or the stab, instead of the inten-
tion of the assaulting patty. His inten-
ton is only inquired into in case of seri-
GUS or fatal resnits, Again there is a spice
Of eternal justice that will not excuse the
criminal act of person on account of his
drunken condition at the time Of its com
mitment. Were he no less insane. through
natural causes, he could not be held guilty
of crime for which he could not be ac-
