IN DEFENSE or DURANT
His Lawyers Try to Fasten the
Murders on an Unknown.
TWO OTHER TRAGEDIES OCCUR.

Tho Suicide Of a Sensitive and Morbid Youth
and the Disappearance of Young Girl
Ascribed to the san Francisco Horror.
what the Defense WIN BE.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.--The horror Of
the Emanuel Baptist church murders a
few weeks ago resulted in tho suicide Of
one morhidly sensitive youth, and now the
disappearance Of young girl is ascribed
to the same cause.
Stella Hughes, daughter OF Captain
Hughes Of Oakland, Is about 22 years old,
rathor dark and attractive Inst Thurs
day sho went out walking with her sister.
She asked her sister TO go out to Baker S
beach, near Seal rocks. which she could
not do, The young lady went alone
She has not been seen since 1t is sup
posed that the accounts Of the church muir
ders deranged her mind and caused her to
leap into the ocean.
Now that Theodore Durant the medical
student has been remanded to the county
jail to stand trial on the charge Of having
murdered Miss Blaneh lamont and Miss
Marian Williams, the lawyers for the de-
Tense are seeking TO stem the tide OF pub
lie opinion by telling on what lines they
will conduct the case
Durants Slim Defense.
Tho attorneys for the accused say they
will prove that the yard of tho church has
been a trysting place for people living in
that neighborhood; that Durant had not
a reputation as lady killer" that an
other member (now an exmember) had
that the latter frequently went to the
church, though now nonresident; that
this nonmember had frequently taken
liberties with young ladies. and that his
actions were such as to cause one lady TO
have a serious hysterical attack; that only
a desire to a old public scandal prevented
his arrest and prosecution at the time
that said mesnber during April was pres
ent at tho services in the church, to which
ho at one time possessed a key--one that
fitted the slide door; that this person knew
and was intimately acquainted with both
Blanch Lamont and Miss Williams; that
this person has been married and divorced
and has also been an inmate of an insane
asylum.
Durant's attorneys conclude by snyinp
theJ Rre confident that before many days
the burden Of guilt will ho openly borne
by the responsible criminal.
