SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-The
trial of Theodore Durrant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont will be re-
sumed on Monday. Then the last Two
hundred names of thirty-six hundred
veairs-uen drawn for criminal service
will be used, leaving the ventre e7fre-
ly exhausted. AS it is highly improp-
able that three jurors can be secured
from the remaining two hundred ven
iremen, it is practically certain that a
special venire will have to be drawn
to secure the three additional jurors
needed to try Durrant.
When Durrant's preliminary exam
ination for the Lamont murder was be-
ing held, Rev. j. George Gibson, pas
tor of Emanuel church, was asked by
Durrant's counsel if he had ever been
pastor of a church on Rominy street,
London. Gibson said he had not. After
his graduation at Edinburgh univer-
sity, he said he had charge OF a
church in an outlying London dis
trict, but he did not remember the
name Of the street on which it was
located. The purpose of the defense
in trying to connect Pastor Gibson with
the Rominy street church again re-
neWed lately, is now apparent. The
defendants counsel say that a Rev.
Joseph Gibson, while pastor Of the
Rominy street church, became in
volved in a scandal through attempt
ed familiarities with ladies in his con-
gregation. He was compelled to leave
England, and came to America The
defendants counsel insinuate that the
two Gfbsons are one and the same. Cap
tain of Detectives Lees says that with
the aid of the Scotland Yard authori-
ties he traced Rev. Gibson'S career
from his youth to date, and that there
is no bleD7iSh on his character. Lees
says George Gibson had a class-mate
named Jesse Gibson, whom the police
believe to have been involved in the
London church scandal. The barren
ness OF the defendants attempt to in
jure Gibson's character is considered
by the police specially remarkable, I'M
til it is remembered that Gibson has
not even been deemed a material wit
ness. The detectives have never found
any evidence to connect Gibson, even
remotely, with the case. On the night
of the Minnie Williams murder, Glib
son was in the VogeI residence from s
O'Clock Tor several hours. 1t was
proved that Miss Williams left the resi-
dence where she was staying at 8
o'clock, going thence to the church. A
blood stain was found on an old shoe
fn the pastors study, but the trail
of the murderer to the study was
traced and the blood stain on the shoe
is not considered circumstance in
connecting the pastor with the muir
derer.
Late this afternoon Robert Lynch.
MIR. Gsbson'S private secretary, said
that Jesse and George Gibson were fell
low students at Spurgeons college in
LONDON. Jesse Gibson nrAached for q
time in Rominy chapel, but went to
Canada, where he is now in charge
or church. Lynch declares Jesse
Gibson has always had a good reputa-
ton, no scandal ever attaching itself
TO his name.

PROBATE COURT.
An Interesting Case Before Judge
McNaIIy Yesterday.

MCNdIy yesterday.
An interesting case came up in the
probate court yesterday and the hus-
band and niece of a deceased woman
will fight her adopted child for the
possession of a homestead.
The estate is that of Emma W.
Standish, who died recently leaving
what purported to be her will, signed
with her mark and witnessed by Sey-
mour B. Young and another. In this
will she give all her property to Nellie
Christopherson, her adopted daughter
She directed, however, that the home
stead in Sugar House ward should be
used by her husband as a home until
his death and that the proceeds from
the property should go to him, unless
Nellie Christopherson desired to live
in the house, when she should be en-
titled to half of it. Her husband, Hen
ry Standish, was named as the eXecu-
tor of the will, to serve without bonds.
Instead of offering the will for pro-
bate, however, Standish joined with
his niece, Annie Standish, in a petition
to have it set aside and the estate dis
trIbuted to themselves as the only sur
viving heirs. They alleged that the
will was not signed by Mrs. Standish,
that at the time it was made she was
laboring under undue influence, exerted
by her adopted daughter, and that at
the time it was made she was not of
sound and disposing mind.
To this petition was attached the
will. The hearing came up yesterday
and Annie ChriStopherson. appeared
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-25

and answered the petition Of the rela-
tives, denying all the points they made.
She asked that the petition be set aside
and the hearing was set for Thursday,
Oct. 5.
In the estate of William S. Brighton,
claims to the amount of $S66.13 were
approved.
In the estate of Samuel j. Thomas,
claims amounting to $3.50 were ap-
proved.
In the estate Of Robert Green, ac-
count was approved and distribution
made. The claim of a life interest by
the widow, who has since died, was
set aside and the title of the property
made clear.
Estate of Joshua Robinson; John
Robinson appointed special administra-
Ter with $3.50 bonds.

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Lively Proceedings in the Court at
Seattle Yesterday.

SEATTLE, Aug. 24.-The Northern
Pacific hearing on the question of
Judge Jenkins jurisdiction in the mat
ter of the appointment of the present
receivers, ended in the federal court
today, so far as the arguments are
concerned, and the court has taken the
question under Amusement.
The feature of today'S proceedings
was the speech made by Colonel Pet
tit. counsel of the Northern Pacific
company, in which he severely ar
raigned the other side. He made one
statement which created a sensation
in the court room. He had admitted
the allegation that the Northern Pa
cifc company had sold 100000 Of re-
ceivers' certificates to innocent people,
when ex-United States Senator Spoon
er, of counsel for the receivers, re-
marked:
Yes, and you bid on them for Mr..
Ives, did you not?'
Then Colonel Petit admitted that he
had, and said:
"I supposed that Mr.. Crowell, general
counsel for the company, knew that
these certificates were not valued I'm
less they had been authorized by
courts having jurisdiction over the
property on which they were supposed
to be a lien. 1t was only within two
weeks that I learned the contrary.
These certificates" said Petit, ARE
not lien on the property under the
law in which the Farmers Loan and
Trust company was defendant and the
people plaintiff. The holder of these
certificates would have to depend for
their pay on courts which have juris-
dintj0n

ANOTHER BINGHAM FIRE.

Loss Light, But it Created Much
Excitement.
Bingham had another fire last night.
1t was not big one, but it created any
amount of excitement.
The blaze occurred in the Standish and
Jimpson car shops, right in the center of
a lumber yard and surrounded by the
tramway stables in which were 100 head
of horses. The fire was discovered at
1870 p. m, and for a short time lit UP
the hills for miles. The people, after
their recent experience, became greatly
excited and when the horses were turned
loose and ran through the canyon, this
was increased. The blaze was soon ex-
tinguished, however, the loss being about
$500
