During the many years that l Have

partment l have had to do with hun
dreds of criminals of every grade, but
l have no hesitation in saying that
in view of the terrible nature of the
crime for which this man is held re-
sponsible. he is the peer of all in

Some Very Damaging Evidence Il
Given Against the Suspected
Murderer.

San Francisco, April 1S.-Theodore
Durant keeps his Derve under excel
lent control. During his waking hours
he gives little sign Of trepidation even
when undergoing severe Ordeals OF ex-
animation and accusation. His calm
ness is characterized aa cold-blooded
by physicians. His slumbers, howev-
er, are not go peaceful. Since his in
generation he has not passed an hour
in quiet sleep. When he closes his
eyes he invariably becomes the VIC
tim Of nightmare and groans and
cries in terror. His shrieks last night
disturbed the occupants of the prison
and gave color to the rumor that the
alleged murderer had committed sui.
eide. At daybreak this morning he
was bathed in a cold PRECIPITATION.
Those who supposed that after his
agonizing dreams he would make
confession were surprised at his self
possessed demeanor after he had
made his careful toilet. Evidently
nothing was further from his mind
than to admit his guilt.
Durant attended the inquest of Miss
Williams. Police officers described
the finding of the body of Miss Will

heveled clothing and the blood spat-
tered floor on which it lay. Rev.
George Gibson. pastor of Emanuel
church, described the position Of the
remains and told of the reception late
Friday night when Durant appeared
late with flushed face and disar-
ranged clothing. The pastor said Du-
rant was a useful man about the
church and was frequently in the
sanctuary when no services were be-
ing held.
Frank A. Sademan, the janitor, de-
scribed Durant's care of the electrical
apparatus and his peculiar conduct Lf-
ter Blanche L4amont's disappearance.
The most sensational testimony of the
day, however, was given by Charles
II. Morgan, at whose house In Ala
media Miss Williams resided. He said
that Durant had called at his house
and endeavored to persuade Marian
to accompany him to the city, as he
had something important to talk
about. She declined to 60, however,
remarking he could see her at the
church reception Friday night. Nor
gan then related how Durant had
called to see Minnie Sumner and in
duced her to. 60 out with him. He
took her to secluded spot in Fruit
vale and there made base proposal
to her, justifying it by specious argu-
ments based on his alleged love for
her and promising that by means Of
his medical knowledge he would be
able to save her from any unpleasant
consequences. The girl Indignantly
repulsed him and afterward narrated
the circumstances to Morgan. The
inquest will be continued tomorrow.
