Brief Story of the Crime.

Briefly stated the prosecu tion charged that
Durrant decoyed Blanche Lamont into the
Emanuel Baptist Church, in Bartlett street,
probably assaulted her, strangled her. strip
ped her body and laid it out carefully in the
helfry, hid her clothes and school books in
the dark, dusty corners of the soft and stee-
pie, and then helped in the search for the
missing girl.
Miss Lamont was school girl and attend
ed the Sunday school in which Durrant was
a leading spirit. She was en- route from
school when a young man Joined her. They
were seen in street car by her schoolmates,
but that was the last time she was seen alive
by persons who knew her. Later a man and
a girl were seen to enter Emanuel Church.
The dead body of Minnie Williams, another
acquaintance of Durrant was found in the
Emanuel Church library on April Ii. She
lad been murdered the night before. A
search of the church was then made, and in
the belfry was found the body of Miss La
mont.
Suspicion pointed to Durrant, as he was
conspicuous in the church work, was ac
quainted with the girls and had access to the
church. He was arrested, and for several
weeks the trial has been in progress. Much
circumstantial evidence was introduced and
the positive evidence was strong.

The Prisoner Composed.

the PRISONER composed.
Durrant recovered his old-time composure
as he left his mother and prepared to return
to the county Jail. With his overcoat swung
carelessly over his arm he walked leisurely
out of the room, twiring his slight mus
tache with apparently as little concern as if
he were merely a spectator instead of the
principal figure in the exciting scene.
Aside from the spectators, Mrs. Noble,
Blanche Lamont'S aunt, and Maud Lamont,
the dead girls sister, We're apparently the
happiest persons IN the ROOM When the
verdict was announced Maud Lamont arose
from her seat clasped her hands and then
cried of sheer excitement. Mrs. Noble
mingled smiles with tears and shook hands
with a number of friends who crowded
around to congratulate her.
The case will he appealed TO the Supreme
Court, and it is expected nearly year will
eiapse before decision will be obtained.
While it is not thought that any error has
been committed. the defense has embraced
every opportunity to take exceptions to the
rulings of the court

around her neck. trying to soothe her. The
long strain of the trial, however, had COM
pletely shattered her self-control and 1t was
some time before Mrs. Durrant could leave
the court room.

The physical condition of the Pennsyl-

that calls for immediate treatment. In
fact, for the past ten days the men have
been too bruised to play. and some of them
are overstrained. These facts have been
brought to the attention Of Messrs. Bell.

He left his native place in his boy
hood. He had resided in Arson, Madi-
son, California, ami for over twenty
years had been an honored citizen in
this town. He was twice married.
His first wife Was Julia Hilton of Arson.
The daughter by this marriage Mrs.
Converse Mayo, resides in Lima, O.
His second wife was Abbie Dinsmore
of Madison, who died some years ago.
One son by this marriage survives,
Mellen s. who lives on the home place
on the South Nolridgewock road. He
also leaves a brother, Alyirus of this
place. and a sister Mrs Abbie Coburn,
who resides with her son Elton in
Portland. These are the last of "a
family of twelve children. The deceased
was man of upright life, good neigh
Dor. and one who had the respect of
all who knew him. He was a carpenter
by trade but had spent much of his
life in farming. He joined the Masons
in Arson, and transferred his member
ship to the Somerset Lodge in Skowhe-
gan. He had been in failing health for
sometime, and had been kindly cared
for by his son and wife, and also by Mrs.
