the Durrant Cnsc.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.,-The Dis
trict Attorney has decided to try
Theodore Durrant for murder with
twelve jurors instead of fourteen, as
at first contemplated.
The managing and city editors Of
the Chronicle and Examiner were in
court this morning to plead to the
charge of contempt of court in pub-
fishing interviews with sworn jurors
in the case. Judge Murphy ignored
their presence, however, and pro
ceeded with the examination of jul
rors.
After the panel had been exhausted
without securing any additional jur-
ors, District Attorney Barnes asked
permission to ask juror Brown certain
questions touching his qualifications
to serve as juror. Permission was
granted. Although counsel objected
to every question asked, the courts
ruling was uniformly with the prose
Gu ton.
In reply to questions, Brown stated
he had been a Juror in the trial of M.
d. Howell for coun teffeiting, when
the trial was held in the United
States Court. The jury stood seven
to five for conviction on the first bal
lot and the verdict was not changed,
although the jury was out nine days.
Brown stated he was before the Fed
eral Grand Jury which was investi-
eating charges of bribery in the case.
He had been askedby the Grand Jury
if he knew anything of s,~ibery, but
he did not. Then Juror Brown was
permitted ~ make his desired state
ment regarding Durrant. He said re-
porters from three morning papers
had been at his house to ask if he had
anything 10 say concerning the How
ell case. He had related the circum-
stances of balloting. for the Howell
verdict, but had not been asked, nor
had he stated, anything about the
Durrant case. Brown said the al
legged interviews with him published
in the papers, in which he discussed
the Durrant case, were wholly un.
true. The Durrant case, he said, had
not been mentioned by him or by the
reporters.

SPRINGFIELD lll.), Aug. 9.-Assist-
ant AdJutant General Boyle to-day
made report to Governor Altgeld on
the race riot at Spring Valley. He
says the trouble was caused by local
disturbances among the colored and

ernor received Il telegram saying the
miners were at work.

The letter of recommendation was

In 1880 the molders Of San Francisco
went on a strike and it was one of the
hardest fought and longest strikes on
record, lasting 20 months An effort
was made to get scab molders from the
East to take the places of the strikers
and White was one of the first TO re-
spond to the call for scabs. He quit
his job in Philadelphia and II was then
that he secured the above letter OF rec
ommendation. He got together a lot
OF other scabs in the East who were
guaranteed good wages and transpor-
tation by the San Francisco employers.
White and his gang reached San Fran

after the trial and never promised him
money or any other valuable thing,
and no effort was ever made to infiu-
ence him in any way. Mr.. Mantle also
read the affidavit of George w. Gregg,
who said he saw Mantle talking to
Perron while jury was being selected
Mr.. Mantle says that while he was
talking with his attorneys Perron came
up to him and called him to one side
and said he wished to pay his propor-
ton OF expenses incurred in obtaining
a patent to the Croesus mine In the
Occur d'Alenes which had been paid by
Mantle and Warren. Perron wanted to
know his proportion and Mr.. Mantle
told him he was busy and would see
him some other time. That was all
the conversation he had with him at
that time and has not spoken a word
TO him since. He had no previous
knowledge that he was coming to speak
to him, and in fact was greatly annoy
ed by his interruption at that time.
Mr.. Mantle's affidavit leaves a great
deal TO be surmised as to why Perron,
the affidavit rustler for the other side,
should approach him In the court room
and engage him in conversation on
such foreign subject and in the pres
ence OF witness who afterwards
makes affidavit to the fact that he saw

Onicer w. E. Grant last evening re-

presented by citizens of Butte in appre-
citation of his brave service in arrest-
ing two highwaymen. The cane was
given to Chief Tebo with the request
that he present IL to the officer The
chief saw the acting mayor and the
aldermen and all were in favor of al
lowing the officer to receive the gift.
although II is contrary to ordinance.
Chief Tebo presented the baton in
the presence of the force, making a
neat speech. He said that he did not
consider that officer Grant had done
any more than his duty, for every
member of the force is expected to do
his duty at all times. 1t was pleasant,
however, to know that gallant and
courageous services are appreciated by
the citizens of Butte. IA
Officer Grant responded modestly He
said that the reason he received the
fine club instead of some other officer
was simply luck. He knew well. he
said, that had the noble chief or dough-
ty captain or any other member OF the
force been on that beat instead of him.

Just the same. He knew that every
officer would do his duty and would
have accomplished under the same cir
cumstances what he accomplished. He
considered the presentation a compli-
ment to the entire force and he would
treasure the baton as long as he lived.
