erintendent of the Mint Hofer was
placed Oh the stand IN the Jones

tooks Of the Bullion aud Exchange
bank, of which lie is cashier, and

occurred. IL, FL. Beck, Of the Reno re-
duction works, testified that } Henry,
former employe in the mint but
whom detectives cannot now find, had
at several times given him amalgam to
east into bars. AmaIgan resembled
the granulations of the mint refining
room. He represented to Beck that he
was Oh of the four handlers ofa mine,

Concluded. Gibson's
Handwriting.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-The-
odore Durrant was taken from his cell
this morning and formally charged
with the murder of Blanch Lamont.
The prisoier was very surly. As he
was being booked for lhe second mur.
der, he said TO Detective Seymore:
"How many more crimes are you 60
ing to charge against me?"
The inqnest OH Blanche Lamont
will begin as soon as the preliminary
examination of Durrant in the police
court for the murder of Minnie
Williams is concluded, probably on
Tuesday afternoon.
The court proceedings were contin-
ued from Friday to Tuesday. In the
superior court. Durrant will first be
tried for the Lamont murder If held
for both crimes.
A fight to have the Durrant case dis
missed in the police court now seems
probable. It Is known that the at
torneys, for Durrant are working on
Dr. Gibson's handwriting, and Gen
eral Dickinson has asked that some of
witnesses already examined be brought
back to court for futher questioning.
Among the witnesses he has asked for
are the, young ladies who saw Durrant
IN Alameda talking 10 MinEie
Williams. Durrant's attorneys will
not say at this time what they propose
doing. The prosecution feels that it
has already produced sufficient testi-
mony to insure the prisoner being
held for trial.

DR PEHRENDS'S VIEWS.

The Rev. DR.. a. J. +. Behrends, OF the Central
Conversational Church, is known In Brooklyn as an
outspoken fearless and patriotic preacher. His
narishoners went to church yesterday expecting to
hear something from him on the Venezuelan ques-
tion They were not wholly disappointed. although
the doctor only spoke to the subject few minutes
and as an introduction to his morning discourse.
The doctor made three general statements, which
I'm substance as follows:
II seemed to him that there was no question what
ever as TO the justification for war between Great
britain and the United States in connection with
the dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela on
the boundary question. The Monroe Doctrine had
no application TO the present controversy.
The Presidents message no matter how pa atriotic.

I'm Wal-st IL would lead to greater financial ruin
II the excitement were kept up. He sure there
would be no on account of the dispute and be-
leyed II to the duty of every patriot to voice his
protest against fratracida crime such as would be
involved in a war between Great Britain and our
selves.
