for different articles, and intimated in I'M
mistakable terms that some of his property
had been stolen. He was harsh IN his
criticisms.
When told by Officer Porter that
he could take charge of the church
building he refused to accept it and de.
parted to consult the trustees on the sub
ject.
Among the people of the vicinity there
is a hope that the desecrated and blood
stained edifice will never more be used for
religious worship and that it will be torn
down and removed from the lot. The
police officers are not satisfied that no
more evidences of crime exists between
those walls or under the floors, and in the
event of removal the search will be con-
tinued during the course of demolition.
1t is believed that the building will be
burned down if it is permitted to remain
there, and the local insurance companies
are contemplating canceling the risks on
the possibly doomed edifce. Should the
church he permitted to remain it is felt
that its usefulness is over and the dark
weather-beaten belfrey will be an uncanny
place, haunted by the memory of the
young maidens who persisted so miserably

He Had No Bundles.

The rumor that Durrant may have
taken to Mount Diablo whatever bloody
clothes or relics he had of the murder
seems to be unfounded. William A. Frod-
sham, one of the armorers of the Second
Artillery Regiment headquarters, was at
the armory when Durrant went there early
on the morning after the murder of Miss
Williams.
Frodsham said last night: "Durrant
rode up to the armory at 1923 A. NJ. He
had no bundle or anything with him when
he came in. He was in his campaign
uniform and could not have had anything
about him that he might have desired to
drop into the bay or hide up on the noun
tain. know just what he took with him.
He had haversack, bugle, canteen, a
revolver and twenty rounds of ammuni-
ton. l packed Durrant's hayersack my

HAS SHE BEEN FOUND
A Rumor Spread to the Effect
That Mrs. Forsyth
Eloped.

There was a rumor around town last
night that Mrs. Ella Forsyth, wife of
George w. Forsyth, pressman of the
Schmidt Label and Lithographing Com
pany, had been located in San Jose. The
lady in question disappeared from her
home at 1904 Larkin street fortnight ago
to-day. Before her husband left for his
work she told him she was going to Black
Point to gather some shells. She started
for the beach, but that is the last heard
from her until the rumor was started last
night.
The man connected with the disappear
ance of Mrs. Forsyth is said to be John
Emery of 946 Folsom street. The pair,
according to the rumor met repeatedly in
the square on Steiner street two months
ago, and there during the stolen inter
views became intimate. With $500 which
he received from the East, John paid the
way and the couple reached San Jose.
a call at 946 Folsom street revealed the
fact that the Emerys had moved three days
ago. Where they had gone no one seemed
to know, and as to their whereabouts there
was not a single clew.
George w. Forsyth was found at his
home, 1904 Larkin street. and Indignantly
denied the truth of the rumor. "Until the
little woman stands there before me and
says she is tired of me, | will believe moth
ing. The evening papers have no right to
come out and make assertions which are
only based on rumor.
MY wife went to the Black Point beach
to gather shells to finish a workbox she
began some months ago. She was very
venturesome and, | think, climbed on a
rock and, missing her footing, fell into the
bay. She used frequently to call on heI
sister at the Hamilton Grammar School,
but outside of her she made very few visits.
As soon as [ heard the story l telephoned
Chief Crowley, but he said there was nc
truth in it. Now. don't you think the
Chief of Police, who has had his men on
the case for two weeks, would have known
something about it if the story was true

There was a considerable sum of money in
the house, but she left with 65 cents in hel

In this connection story that bears or
the case comes from Dams coffee saloon or
Stockton street, near Market. Her brother
Alfred is in charge there at night, and q
stranger entered the place few days age
and asked to see him. When told that
Alfred was out he informed the proprietor
that the family need not worry, as Mrs
Forsyth had gone away with man who
would drop her as quickly as she dropped
her husband.

That Trail of Blood.

A greatly exaggerated story was spread
yesterday afternoon in regard to trail of
blood found by Policeman Herve. The
story grew in size until it told of spots of
blood that commenced at the Emmanuel
Church and ran along in the direction of
Durrant's house until it nearly reached
the dwelling. The truth is that Officer
Herve, the "Corkscrew Spider" found
spots of blood on sidewalk not far from
the church and he traced them across a
vacant lot until they came to an end near
a fence.
There is nothing to show that the spots
of blood have any connection with the
murder cases. In fact they must have
been made since the time of the Williams
murder, which was Friday night, as it
rained early Saturday morning heavy
enough to have obliterated them. Herve
found the bloody trail Monday but con-
sidered it of so little importance that he
did not speak of it until yesterday. A
man with nose bleed, wounded dog or
anything of the kind may have been the
cause of the sensational story.

He Did Not Know Ware.

The theory that Durrant murdered Eu-
gene Ware is most absurd. Durrant denies
that he ever knew Ware, and none of his
friends ever heard of their acquaintance.
Moses H. Job, a commission merchant,
who was Wares roommate for long time
before his death, settles the wild rumors.
He said: 81 am sure Ware did not know
Durrant I never heard of him, and
Ware never mentioned his name. l
certainly knew all of Wares acquaintance
who were at all friendly with him. The
statement in the Chronicle that Durrant
frequently called on Ware at the hotel on
the corner of Mission and Seventh streets
is false. The story that Minnie Williams
lived at the hotel for short time is
equally absurd. A young lady, Miss Viola
Williams, was at the hotel but she was
Just the opposite in appearance to Minnie
Williams. Viola Williams was blonde Of

Cody. The object of their visit was to in

also joined them. They spent over two

DURRANT WAS ANGRY
A Scene in the Prison by His
Refusal to Leave His
Cell.

The protest made by General Dickinson,
counsel for Durrant, before Judge Conlan
during the arraignment of the prisoner
against lis clients being taken to the
Morgue to be present at the inquest, had
its effect upon Durrant yesterday morning.
When Sergeant Burke and Detective
Gibson drove TO the City Prison in hack
and notified Captain Stone that they
wanted Durrant the captain went to the
prisoner cell. He unlocked the door and
told Durrant there was a carriage waiting
for him outside.
''Where am I going?" asked Durrant,
without moving from his seat.
II don't know" said the captain; ''the
Chief has sent a carriage for you"
t'Where am | gOing?" insisted Durrant
81 tell you I don't know. All know is
that the Chief wants you"
'Well, 1 refuse to go out of here unless 1
am subpenaed.
II don't know anything about that.
Come along, and not keep the carriage
waiting"
az want subpoena" said Durrant, de-
family.
The captain had borne Durrant's refusal
to leave his cell with the utmost patience;
but his last remark, coupled with the de-
fant attitude assumed by him, was too
much.
IF you don't come at once" said the
captain, sternly, Il will soon pack you out
of this"
Durrant saw that the captain meant
business, and sullenly put on his hat and
left the cell. Burke and Gibson, who had
been waiting in the carriage and wondering
what was the cause of the delay, did not
lose any time in seating him and driving
him down to the Morgue.
The ACCESSIBILITY of sending Durrant to
attend the inquest has been thoroughly
discussed by Chief Crowley and the Cor
oner. They were afraid that the defense
would make capital of the point, as fore
Swallowed by General Dickinson's protest
to Judge Conlan. They consulted District
Attorney Barnes as to the rights of the
prisoner in the matter, and he gave his
opinion that the Coroner has a right to
subpoena any one he may desire as wit
ness.
Following out this advice, the Coroner
yesterday morning sent a deputy with a
subpoena upon Chief Crowley to deliver
Durrant into his hands, and the Chief had
to obey the subpoena.
Notwithstanding the opinion of the Dis
trict Attorney, it is said that the point will
be raised that, as Durrant has the right to
refuse to testify there was no occasion to
subpoena him, and that the fact that he
was made to attend against his will shows
a disposition on the part of the police to
persecute him.
This morning at the inquest Durrant
will be afforded the opportunity to give
his testimony.

GLEWS STILL LEAD.
Continued from Fifth Page.

Durrant is one of the men who are well
known at this time for hundred lnvestl-
gators have been prying into bis life and
thousand gossips have been telling every
thing they know, think or suspect con-
corning him. As result OF all TINS,
enough has been disclosed TO show that ne
led what is called "a double life; tnat Is
to say, he is a normal young man who has
lived as other young men. When IN church
he has been good, and when on the street
at night he has sought to overcome the
world and experience life in all Its phases.
Men who can crafty their appetltes IN
the easy wav of a night frollc do not COM
nit such crimes as that when has rem
dered Emmanuel Church place forever
tabooed; building to be abandoned ana
nevermore used for the worship of God.
We must look for different type OF man
altogether. We must seek a man who has
not lived light and easy in the world, but
one whose instincts and appeutes, damned
I'D bv a narrow creed or some curse OF ma
ture, have found no outlet until they have
swollen far beyond their natural limits and
made him demon in body, brain and soul.
In this respect the philosophy OF crime
accords with the evidence. There is that
man of 40, whom the girl knew. The man
in whom she intuitively felt the presence
of the demon, but of whom she dared not
speak. There is the gray hair found in
the clothed blood. These things do not
point to Durrant.
II is not worth while to go over the
minute of the evidence. 1t should be
borne in mind. however, that Durrant did
not leave his mother house until 8 P. NJ.
He stopped at the armory and made ar
rangements to go with his corps on
march next morning. He arrived at D.
Vogels at $50. His face on arriving there
was warm with perspiratiOn, but neither his
hands nor his clothing showed any trace of
blood nor of any struggle. Is it physically
possible that he could have butchered the
poor girl III the way she was, without get
ting any blood on him? Is it physically
possible that he could have gone anywhere
to change his clothes and get back in time
to reach DR.. Vogel's residence by $50?
The whole case is another warming
against the folly of trusting circumstantial
evidence too Jar. The cases where wrong
has been done by reason of such evidence
are innumerable. In this case, despite all
the mass of circumstances against him, the
evidence of the known facts seems TO acquit
Durrant. The police should resume the
search for the murderer. He is man
about 40 years old; he answers the descrip-
ton of Durrant; he was probably rarely, if
ever, seen in Miss Williams company; he
lives in all likelihood not far from the
church and is familiar with it.

THE CHURCH LIGHT.
Durrant Charged the Battery
on January 12-The Bel
fry Keys.

Janitor Sademan of Emmanuel Church
found a memorandum yesterday which
establishes the fact that Durrant did not

ratus in the building on the day of
Blanche Lamont's disappearance The
memoranda mentioned showed that Dur
rant repaired the apparatus on January u,
and since that date it has not been out of
order.
The ianitor does not know whether or
not Durrant had a key to the lock in the
belfry door. The key which opens
that door is like the key that opens the
balcony door. through which whoever re-

A DOOMED EDIFICE.
DR.. Gibson Complains of the
Work of the SearcherS of
the Premises.

Dr. Gibson, whose demeanor throughout
the whole dreadful affair has been gov

ment, continues to manifest the same
startling deficiency. He appeared at En-
manuel Church yesterday afternoon and
complained bitterly of the manner in
which the searching officers had ransacked
the building.
Notwithstanding the fact that nothing
has been injured in the different halls and
rooms, and only the floors in the gallery
and belfry had been opened, the mysteri-
Gus person was angry and strongly con-
demned the men who have labored indus
triously and intelligently to uncover the
awful crime. He inquired complainingly

TIRED WOMEN
The Housewife, the Farmer and the
 Toilers of All Vacations.

Depression of the nervous sys- tenn at the approach of spring is a fertile source of blood impurities. That tired feeling, which IS the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediate y after the invigorating cold of winter, quickly disappears when Pe'ru-na is taken. Thousands are daily tes-tifying to its priceless benefit. General lassitudc, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feelings, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Pe- ru ma meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapt ed to all their varied pecuiarities. Fortuna invigorates the system, reJuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and procures regular sleep.
 This tired-out feeling is cspoci- ally true of the housewife in spring time-used, tagged out, jaded and weak. There are thous- ands of them everywhere. A few bottles of Pe-ru-na would do them untold benefit. As tome and nerve invigorator it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, 1t gives strength to the circulation and at once restores the appetite and di- gestion. No feeble woman should be without Pe-ru-na.
