WROTE A BOOK In TWENTY DAYS
John swtnton Tells of His Great
Literary Feat.

John Swinton lectured last night be-
fore the Universalist Club in the First
Universalist Church. Nj. Louis Ames
introduced him as a hereto. Mr.. Swim
ton styled himself a revolutionist. He
gave a description of his reasons for
writing his recently published book,
Striking for Life and the manner in
days. This was followed by a brief
synopsis of the main features Of the book.
'If ever you feel an inspiration to be-
get an idea give it to the world. If you
can write heroic romances, fail not to
write them, for they help to enrich this
shabby world"
He concluded an able address with a
short talk on labor.
IF ali the laboring are wrong, we
can't carry or a government of demo-.
cracy. We will have TO import the Gear
of Russia, and sven he world have a
hard time running things"

V~ENFzUELA's BLUNDER.
By Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, March 9. 1Ss5.-Mr. Burch, vene-
zuelan Consul in London, informed the United
Press this morning that neither he nor any of
the attaches of his consulate had the slightest
doubt of the correctness of the New York
"Herald's'' Caracas despatch confirming the
reports of the expulsion Of the French and
Belgian Ministers. All Of the friends of Vene-
zuela in London greatly regret the handing of
passports to the Ministers at this time. The
United States. Mr.. Burch said, had gone to
great lengths in asking Great Britain to take
part in Venezuelan boundary arbitration. They
must be reminded of the fact, he said, that
eight years ago President Guzman Bianco in
vited British Minister St. John to leave.
since which time there has been no British
Minister in Caracas. The situation looks sari-
Gus, he thinks. but official Information in the
matter is not obtainable yet.

PARTED FROM his CHILDREN.

Louis Credida, a poor Brazilian, called upon
Poormaster Miller OF Hoboken this morning
with his three children, Amelia, eight; Joseph,
five years old, and Lucia, a baby eight months
OLD. Credida said that his wife recently died,
and as he was out of employment and had no
money he could not take care OF his children.
He asked to have them admitted to the Aims
house. AS Credida has been a resident of
Hoboken for the past eighteen months, his
request was granted. When he received the
commitment papers for the children, he cried
as if his heart would break, and between his
sobs said he hoped he would be able to make
money enough to have them with him again.

Even the short time that had been spent
upon the Pavilion had worked a wondrous

"THE HAND HAUNTED ME-"
Story Of Mrs. Cora Mckay, the Aged
Witness in the Minnie Will
IiamS Case,

''That little hand moved before my eyes
even in my sleep. 1t haunted me every
hour of the twenty-four and nearly drove
me crazy"
Mrs. Cora Mckay, the bent, but bright
eyed old woman who is one of the chief
witnesses for the prosecution in the Min
ME Williams case, rubbed away vigorously
at the tablecloth she was ironing, while
she talked of what she had seen and heard
near Emmanuel Church on the evening

She is a cheerful, industrious old person,
with brown eyes whose youthful fire still

evidence of extreme age, although her
movements as she went from stove to
table and table to stove, or stopped over
the basket of snowy linen, were as QUICK
as those of a girl.
Her conscientioGsness and intelligence
have made her a trusted servant of many

WHAT DEUPREY CONTENDS
1t Is Not Necessary for His Client
to Establish His Innocence,
He SAYS.

Attorney Eugene n. Deuprey expects to
defend Durrant IN the Minnie Williams
case and to adhere to the same tactics as
in the Lamont case. He took a drive in
Golden Gate Park yesterday morning and
got caught in the rain.
A near neighbor of his is E. P. Farms
worth, his brother-in-law. Mr.. Farms
worth had a rig at Mr.. Deupreys door
early in the forenoon, while the weather
was promising anything but rain, and
soon the wheels were rolling parkward
with the much improved defender of Dur
rant comfortably seated beside Mr.. Farms
worth.
The keen, bracing air, says Mr.. Deu-
prey, was just what he wanted. The rain
caught them while they were rattling
along at merry gait on the south drive of
the park, and it was necessary for them to
hasten into wayside resort on D street.
They got indoors just in time to avoid a
drenching.
Mr.. Deuprey expects to be at his office
and hard at work in day or two, and yet
he is not quite so sure of that. He still
appears to be very weak man. After he
returned from his drive he threw himself
down on his couch near a cheerful fire and
STAYED there all the afternoon.

! hausted," explained Mr.. Deuprey. eve
had to struggle against the mind of the en-
tire community. The newspapers preiu-
diced the Lamont case against US, and
every time we entered the courtroom it
seemed as if the very atmosphere was
| lfull-oppressively full-of antagonistic
sentiment. 1t was like trying to pull a
| four-horse wagon up the side of steep,
| high mountain"
He discussed the Lamont case freely so
far as he went, but he did not go into de-
tails. He gave THE CALL credit for fair
ness and :impartiality in its handling OF
the case. Some papers. he said, seemed to
have habit OF printing lake" one day
and denying it the next.
He hardly thinks that the motion for a
new trial in the Lamont case will be made
next Friday, as the necessary papers can
not be got ready in time, and he is not dis
posed to discuss the Williams case until
the proper time and in the proper way.
"We are resting now after our defeat"
he remarked, "aud it will probably be a
few days before General Dickinson, Judge
Thompson and myself can get together l
expect TO be downtown soon, certainly be-
fore the end OF the week
"When we do get together the first thing
to be considered will be the bill of eXcep-
tions we must file to sustain our motion
for a new trial. | think we Will have to

Minnie Williams until January. So says
District Attorney Barnes. 1t has been
puzZling speculation among many why the
defendant should be tried on the second
charge after having been convicted of
murder in the first degree in the f-st in
stance. District Attorney Barnes explains
why.
Another important statement by the
prosecution is to the effect that it will not
oppose the defendants motion for change
of venue.
The prosecution considers the Williams
case the stranger of the two. On that head
the defense has nothing to say. The
attorneys for the defense do not deny,
however, that the first step in that case
will be a motion for change of venue.
District Attorney Barnes says he has no
knowledge of any new material witnesses
in the Williams murder, though it is gen.
orally understood the police have been
bending every energy to acquire additional
evidence. The witnesses for the prosecu-
tion are as firm as ever. The circum-
stantial chain is forged link by link as
firmly as eye and memory can make it,
Zenger, the engineer, saw Durrant and a
young girl near the church; Halls, a car
penter, saw them enter the sacred edifce,
and Mrs. Cora Mckay has been haunted
by the ghostly hand of the dead girl ever
since she saw it moving in eIpostulation to
something her escort was saying to her as
the former was in the act of enticing her to
her doom.
The defendants attorneys are as firm as
ever in their several beliefs relating to the
convicted murderer of Blanche Lamont.
They think he is innocent; they believe
public sentiment precluded the possibility
of fair and impartial trial, and they will
carry the fight 10 the bitter end.

sage from Anthony that the Signal Corps
had passed a certain place, but Durrant
was not with them. This set his nerves
tingling, as he was afraid Durrant might
have escaped, and he awaited with fever
ish anxiety for further news. An hour
afterward Anthony telephoned that the
corps had passed Walnut Creek, but Dur
rant was not there, but they were all to
lunch at certain place and Durrant would
likely join them.
The Chief instructed Anthony to get all
the help possible and spare no expense to
find Durrant. The hours dragged on and
a telephone message came that the corps
had partaken of lunch, but Durrant was
absent. The Chief had almost given up
hope when about O'Clock. to his in
expressible relief, he received message
that Duraant was arrested. He at once
notified the newspaper men who were
waiting in his office and showed them
Minnie Williams purse, which had been
meantime identified by the girls father.
During the week that followed many de-
velopments took place and when Captain
Lees returned from Los Angeles the Chief
was glad to turn over the helm to the
astute head of the detective force.
