THE TRIAL is RESUMED TODAY
GIariug Inconsistencies OF HIS Story
Conclusive Proof That There
Is No Proof of 1t.

Santa Cruz, CAL, July 24.-In the coun-
ty Jail of Santa Cruz is contend William
F. Barrett, who says he murdered
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams
in Emanuel church last April. He gave
himself up to the chief Of police as dan
gerOus criminal last night. This morn
ing he was discharged as a harmless
lunatic. Then he went to the sheriff,
to whom he confessed his guilt as the
perpetrator of Emanuel church atroci-
ties. To the district attorney he told
a story that at first seemed plausible,
but when Barrett went into the details
of the crime the inconsistencies Of his
statements convinced his auditors of his
innocence and complete insanity.
Barrett says he saw Durrant and two
girls on a street car and admiring Miss
Lamont and Miss Williams, he boarded
the car in the hope of making their &C
quaintance. The trio alighted at Eman-
uel church, Barrett following. Durrant
and Miss Lamont entered the church,
followed still by Barrett, while Miss
Williams waited outside. Barrett says
he hid behind pew. Detecting an odor
Of escaping gas, Durrant went to the
belfry to stop the leak. Barrett says he
seized ana attempted to assault Miss
Lamont. To stihe her screams, he
choked her and she suddenly dropped
dead. To silence Miss Williams, Bar
rett says he then stabbed her with a
knife. Meantime Durrant had been
overcome by gas and was so dazed that
he did not see Barrett carrying the
bodies to the belfry. Barrett says he did
not wish Durrant to be hanged for his
crime and that he was sure he would
eventually be found out. Barrett re-
sembles Durrant in personal appear

Have Examined Only 10000 Out Of a
Total OF 100000 Acres
Washington, July N.-The June reports

the act of the last congress to ascertain
the character Of the public lands in Mon
rana and Idaho are being received at the

far they have been able to examine and
report on about $4,000 acres out Of a total
of some 100000 submitted to the adjudi-

putes that it would take five years to
merely ride over this immense territory,
even if they made no stop for examining
the character of the land.
The appropriation for this work Is linn
tied to $4,000, and the monthly expenses
are about $4,000 So far about one-ffth
of all the land examined has been certified
to be agricultural.

HARVEv'S REPLY TO JOHN SHERMAN

Either Hooper, Sherman or a Dishonest
Clerk Did the Crime Of 49,"
Chicago, July 24.-Speaking today of
Senator John Sherman's interview tel
egraphed from Mansfield. O., in regard
to the striking out of the act Of 1873 the
provision for 384-grain dollar, Harvey
said: Il want every man and woman in
America who wishes to preserve free
government to this republic to read
the Congressional Record giving the
words uttered in the senate on January
II, 1873. 1t shows that the word Silver
dollar was in the bill that came from
the house that was to put us on
French ratio and that the senate agreed
to it. Mr. Sherman himself extolled 1t
and said that it was a dollar that would
doat around the world. This dollar was
agreed to by both houses and was in the
bill when it went to the conference COM
mittee. The duty of the conference COM
mtttee was to settle the disputed ques-
tons on which the two houses had dis
agreed and yet the bill turns up en-
rolled with silver dollar erased from
the bill by the conference committee.
Senator Sherman and Mr.. Hooper of
the house handled the bill and either
OF these two men or corrupt clerk
made the omission.
The significance of this can be best
understood when I say that these men
represented that they were re-enacting
the law of 1853, except as to changing
the size Of the silver dollar, and under
the law Of 1853 the silver dollar only
had free access to the mints."
