The Evidence Grows Strong Against
Young Durrant.
He HAD THE GIRLS RING
A Pawnbroker Testified That the
Accused Tried to Dispose Of
One Of Blanche Lamont's
Rings After the Murder.

San Francisco. May s.-To-day's pro-
liminary examination In the case OF
Theodore Durrant. charged with the
murder of Blanche Lamont in Eman-
uel church. was damaging to the de-
fendant. Some startling evidence was
introduced still further connecting
Durrant with the crime.
A. Oppenheimer. a secondhand deal
er. testified that between April and
10 Durrant had offered for sale
lady's diamond ring. The witness was
shown three rings. He positively
identified one as being offered by Dur
rant. The ring was one OF the three

fore Minnie Williams body was found
When Oppenheimer identified this
ring Durrant started violently. turn
ed pale. and exhibited more uneasi-
ness than at any time since his ar
rest.
The defendants counsel vainly tried
to break down this witness testimony
and that of three other witnesses who
repeated the evidence given by them
ut the inquest on Wednesday.
These were Martin Quinian. the at
torney who saw Durrant and a girl
resembling Blanche approaching En-
anuel church at 4:30 o'clock on April 8;
David Clark. corroborated Quinlan's
statement Of his whereabouts on that
day. and the janitor OF Emanuel
church. who testified that there were
no defects in the gas on April 3, and
therefore no reason why Durrant
should have been fixing the gas pipes
at the roof on that afternoon
The janitor's evidence was for the
purpose OF discrediting Durrant's ex-

what seems 10 me to be a most ex-
traordinary proceeding is advertised
TO take place at Chicago on Memorial

the men who struggled In freedom's
cause, cries out In protestation against
this blasphemy. IL is not In my prov

manner place themselves on record as

LOOKS LIKE A JOKE,
Attempt to Forge q Patent to
Land In Chicago.

Alleged Attempt to Forge a Patent to
Land In Chicago.
A bold but exceedingly stupid attempt
to forge deed for land on the lake front
in Chicago has been unearthed The prin-
cipals seem to be Capt. George V. Streeter,
William H. Cox and Jacob Nine. These
men came to Washington last March and
tried to file papers, laying claim to the
land involved. The general land Office
would not permit them to file these papers
and they returned to Chicago. Some time
later one of the three sent and obtained a
certified copy of patent issued in 1897
to Robert KinZie for 102 29-1OO acres lin
Palatine land district, now Chicago"
Using oxalic acid the alleged forgers re-
moved the name of KinZie wherever it
appeared. and then wrote in the names of
George w. Streeter and Peter T. Johnston
The name of Grover Cleveland was substi-
tuted for that of Martin Van Buren,, and
that of "Oaks Smith," instead of Hoke
Smith, was attached as Secretary of the
Interior. The number of acres was changed
from 1O2 29-1OO to 1S6. A description of
the land was written, which did not
tally with anything On record in the gen.
eral land Office.
The matter was turned over to the De-
partment of Justice and the men are under
arrest there. If they are not held there
an effort will be made to indict them here.

The New Magazine Rife.

The naval authorities have given final
approval to the new magazine rifle for the
navy and marine corps, and bids have been
invited for the manufacture of ten thou
sand pieces. The new gun is of the Lee
type and recent experiments made at the
naval proving grounds with the barrel
show that velocities of twenty-five thou
sand feet per second can be easily obtain
ed with this arm. The barrel is the light
est of any small arm. while the bore is
probably the smallest. The total weight
of the new rifle when mounted will not be
over eight pounds. Its penetrating pow
ers are far ahead of that of the army gun,
while the number Of rounds of ammuni-
ton carried by each man exceeds that of
the soldier by fifty. The barrel of the gun

crease the tensile strength and render the
barrel less liable to corrode.

Saturday afternoon Deputy Coroner

jury was made up of three carpenters.

taker. Several witnesses Were examined.
including the superintendent and workmen
on the new building. 1t was in evidence

ers, witnessed the accident. Beach and
another workman We're putting down the
scaffolding, and when he saw the deceased
putting down one-inch plank he called his
attention 10 it, and told him it was not
safe. Witness noticed him walk on the
plank, and noticed the plank when it sag
ged. In an instant the plank tilted. and
Beach Went through to the bottom. No
official complaint had ever been made by
him of the insecure scaffoldiEg.
William Mckee gave similar testimony.
Witness considered two-inch plank per-
fectly safe, but the one-inch plank he
thought too light.
j. w. Kinsey, who is superintendent of
the work under the supervising architect
CT the treasury, also gave testimony. He
told of the manner OF doing work on the
building, and said that in his state (Ohio)
the law requires the laying of the floors
under the men as the work progresses, and
he had suggested that this should be done
here. He had suggested it to the super
vising architect Other evidence was
heard, and the jury returned the following
verdict:
I'VE believe that the said Charles Beach
came to his death through his own care
lessness; that the scaffolding on the
various floors is sufficient in strength and
quantity, but We recommend that floors be
built below the men employed on the work
as an additional safeguard against future
accidents"
