gave at the preliminary examination. She
saw Durrant and Blanche Lamont on the
Powell-street car as she was walking home
with Miss Pleasant. And Mr.. Dickinson,
at his best, as a cross-questioner, failed to
shake the testimony.
After Miss Lannigan came Gripman
Stevens. He knew nothing of the events
of April 3, but he told what the custom
was and is concerning the manner in
which the Powell-street cars going toward
Market street cross the interesting Cali
fornia-st-eet car tracks. They always stop
after crossing in order to catch the cable
for safe descent of the hill.
Only under the repeated protests of At
torneys Dickinson and Deuprey was the
testimony admitted. 1t went to show that
Miss Lannigan and Mrs. Dorgan were cor
rect when they said they had time enough
to see Blanche Lamont and Durrant on the
dummy of the Poweil-street car, because
the car had gone very slowly or had
stopped.
Also photographer, Stewart Merrill,
who made negatives of Powell-street car
crossing California street from the point
where the schoolgirls stood, came to the
witness chair and identified prints made
from his negatives and explained under
what conditions they were taken.
If Mr.. Barnes continues the introduce
ton of his evidence in it's chronological
order, Mrs. Leak will probably take the
stand this morning

"Tell us the physical fact. Never mind what
the rules are" said Mr.. Barnes.
"Well, the fact is that we must catch the
rope again in order to hold the car in going
downhill."
The defense was not slow to see the
cogency OF this testimony. which in effect
went long way toward corroborating the
testimony OF Mrs. Dorgan and Miss Lam
nlgan by showing that the car was sta
tlonary, or nearly so, when they saw Dur

Dickinson and Deuprey objected to almost
every question put by the District Attor-
ney, and at the conclusion of them all Mr.
Dickinson moved to strike out all the testi-
mony.
The motion was promptly overruled by
the court and then Dickinson asked:
''Do you know of that rule ever having been
broken?'

session, and seemed to knock the very last

fatal afternoon and saw Blanche and Durrant
sitting on the dummy of the Powell-street car
going toward Market street.
Mrs. Vogel, who lives directly opposite the
Normal School, testified that she saw Durrant
waiting on the corner for fully an hour;
looked of him through an opera-glass and OBJ
served him closely for she was afraid of burg
lars, having a sum of money in the house;
saw two girls come out of the school, and
saw Durrant accost them; saw Durrant and
one of the girls get on the dummy OF the car,
while the other girl got inside the car.
Gripman Stevens testified that it is the in
variable custom for all Powell-street cars to
stop after crossing California street, and wait
for the conductor gnal before descending the
hill.
Stewart Merrill, a photographer identified
photographs he had taken OF Powell-street
car crossing California street.
Mrs. Crossett testified that she knew the pris-
oner very well, and had known both him
and his family for several years. On the
afternoon of April she sat in Valencia
street car going toward the Mission. Oppo-
site her sat Theodore Durrant busily en-
gagged in talking with a schoolgirl of the same
general appearance, from Mrs. CrossetFs
description, as Blanche Lamont.
The prisoner was plainly interested to q
very great extent by this testimony, which
cumstantial evidence against him.
The trial goes on this morning.
NOTE TO THE READER.-If you wish only to
know what was actually accomplished in the
Durrant case yesterday the foregoing summary
will give you that information. If, however,
it is your desire to learn the particulars of this
interesting trial you will find subjoined a
clear, succinct, impartial account of all i'm
portant matters. Under no circumstances will
the offensive details be admitted. They are
not essential to an intelligent understanding
of the progress of the case, and will be accorded
no place in these columns.

TWO SENSATIONS IN THE DURRANT TRIAL.

Normal School, on the afternoon of April
3, and she saw man pacing back and
forth between the schoolhouse and the
corner. Mrs. Vogel is q nervous woman.
She had $500 in cash in the house. She
wondered that man should be walking
back and forth so long directly opposite
her house. Sometimes he stood still at the
corner and turned his face toward the win
dow at which she sat, with her sewing on
her lap. Mrs. Vogel left the window long
enough to get pair of opera-glasses. She
was curious about this man. She could
observe him better. see his face clearer,
with the opera-glasses. For full hour
she watched him.
Then two girls came out of school. The
man walked toward them. He raised his
hat. The three got on the Powell-street car
going toward Market street-surely it must
have been the same car on which the two
SCHOOLGIRLS saw Blanche and Durrant sit
ting, and on which Miss Edwards rode.
"Who was that man?" asked the District
Attorney.
Theodore Durrant," came the answer,
unhesitatingly.
How can such testimony be explained
away? But even supposing that it cannot
be explained away, still the corner OF Pow
ell and Market streets is long way from
Bartlett street. Mrs. Leak will say she
saw them enter the church. But she saw
them from across the street. She might
have been mistaken. Who shall say posi-
lively that when they left Powell and Mar
ket streets they went toward the church

EIGHTH DAY OF THE TRIAL.
Two Sensations That Aroused Even
Durrant to a Keen Interest
in the Proceedings.

Surely the coils tighten about Theodore
Durrant.
He met the pretty schoolgirl in the
morning of the day she met death. He
rode on the Larkin-street car with her from
Ninth and Mission streets to Polk and SUIT
ter. He had his arm around her as they
sat on the dummy, and be held her school
books.
So much was proved last week-and
frankly admitted by the defense.
Were the prisoner and the schoolgirl
seen together again that day? Did they
go together to the church where a cruel
fate waited for the unsuspecting maiden?
All along the defense has denied this.
They have had an alibi ready to contro-
vert the evidence of the three schoolgirls
who said they saw him get on the Powell
street car after the cooking class on the
afternoon of that fatal day.
Moreover, these three schoolgirls might
have been mistaken in their identity of
Durrant They had never seen him be-
fore. True, they were intelligent wit
nesses, and very positive, under the most
searching examination. Still, there was
good point for arguing in the fact that
Mrs. Dorgan, Miss Lannigan and Miss Ed
wards only saw the young man who rode
away with Blanche for moment, and had
never seen him before that.
But how shall Mrs. Mary Vogels testi-
mony be argued away? She was at her
front window, which looks out upon the

A Noted Physician Offers to Prove Ihis
to All Sufferers in San Fran

The majority of sufferers from Asthma ana
kindred complaints, after trying doctors and
numberless remedies advertised as positive
cures without avail, have come to the conclu-
sion that there is no cure tor this most ais
tressing disease, and these same persons Will
be the more in doubt and skeptical when they
learn through the columns Of the press that
DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann, the recognized au'
thority, who has treated more eases OF these
diseases than any living doctor, has achieved
success by perfectng a remedy which not only
gives immediate relief in the worst cases but
has positively cured thousands of sufferers
who were considered incurable. These were
Just as skeptical as some of our readers now
are. DR.. Schiffmanns remedy no doubt pos
sesses the merit which is claimed for it or he
would not authorize this paper to announce
that he is not only willing to give free to each

making the claim he does for his cure strong

maintained, but there was missing link;
no one could deny that. But ask the
question again-Who saw them on their
way to the church?
Mrs. Crossett.
The answer came with a terrible force
yesterday. Even Durrant was touched by
its force, and showed it in his face. He
did not blanch. That was too much to
expect, but he was terribly interested. He
breathed more heavily, his brows knit, his
smile was gone. How intently he watched
that elderly lady who sat in the witness
chair and told of meeting him, in company
with a slightly built girl, at about hall
past 3 o'clock or later, on the afternoon oil
April 3.
"Where?" asked the District Attorney.
The answer was not lost by soul in the
courtroom.
"In Valencia-street car going to the
Mission
Could she have been mistaken? Could ii
not have been some other man of the same
size and dressed as Durrant was that
afternoon?
No; there was no mistake. She sat
opposite the couple in the car, and she
knew Durrant well. knew his mother and
his father, was for years a friend of the
family and saw Theodore frequently,
several times q month.
Nor could the genius of Mr.. Deuprey,
who now for the first time took hand in
the cross-examination, shatter the force OF
this testimony in the slightest.
People shook their heads and made
ominous comments when they looked at
the set face of Theodore Durrant yester-
day afternoon.
These were sensations enough for one
day-by far the most important day since
the trial began. 1t will be herculean
task to explain away the evidence of these
two ladies. One saw him for an hour,
observed his face closely through an opera
glass. The other knows him well, and sat
opposite him in the streetcar.
Both witnesses came as surprises to the
defense. Until within a day or two ago
not even the District Attorney knew of the
existence of Mrs. Crossett. They have
been the two sensations of the trial thus
far, and they have been the first witnesses
who have succeeded in deeply interesting
Theodore Durrant.
Ii was SCcIc LIldI OCCuTIeU III
the morning when Mrs. Vogel first came
to the stand.
Madam" said the District Attorney,
''can you point out which of these gentle
men here (waving his hand toward the
table occupied by the prisoner and his
counseI) is the defendant in this case?'
THAT small gentleman" came the
answer unhesitatingly, though Durrant at
the time was leaning over, in conversation
with Judge Thompson, so that his face was
only partly visible.
Then at the suggestion of the Judge Mrs.
Vogel walked down from the witness chair
and again pointed at Durrant, this time
almost face to face. The prisoner, con-
scious that the eyes of his twelve judges
were upon him, returned the gaze of the
woman without flinching, only his face
showed that he was, at last, terribly in
terested in the drama that was taking
place about him.
There were other witnesses during the
day, but they were merely corroborative
witnesses. The first was Miss May
Lannigan, who repeated the testimony she
