Chester. England. Aug. 1.-THE town

hearing the speech of Gladstone on the
Armenian question. Among those pres

THE DURRANT JURORS.



Already Chosen Won't Do.
San Francisco Aug s-It is likely that
a strong protest will be made against
Walter g Brown. one Of the accepted
Jurors in the case of Theodore Durrant.
The prosecution has received information
that Brown served as a Juror in the first
trial of vi. n Howell. charged with coun-
terfeiting. II is said that in that case
I'm the United States district court Brown
hung the jury. and that his action IN that
case had been the subject OF inquiry by
the Federal grand Jury. The police believe
they have evidence enough against Brown
10 procure his rejection as a Juror in the
Durrant case. The Howell counterfeiting
case Is for many reasons the most noto-
rious case OF its kind that has ever been
tried in the Federal court OF this dis
trict- Howell was the reputed leader Of
the North Beach gang of counterfeiters
His wife owned property valued at over
ss00. 0na. The evidence a6duced at the trial
was considered convincing.
No new jurors were accepted this morn
ing. Judge Murphy remarked upon the
and said lie would hereafter accept none
but the most urgent excuses. Pleas of
business and slight physical disabili-
ties will no longer be accepted.

day as he was led from the court room.

ner injured while ne is in their charge
Accordingly four deputies were at the
county Jail this morning 10 see that Dur
rant was safely started on his journey TO
the city hall, and another band of officers
awaited him at the hall and escorted him
into the court room. Much larger crowds
had gathered today in consequence of the
ATTEMPTED assault on Durrant yesterday,
but no unfriendliness was manifested tow
ard the prisoner.

departure for the West tonight lie en-

the murders, and that because of a casual
remark the lawyers for the defense bad

rant and never saw him. One of the
murdered girls. Blanche Lamont. he
knew by sight, but he had never met her
in fact. He had seen her on street car
with a young man; and he had made
remark to that effect to a lawyer. The
outcome is that he has been figuring
an important witness. He had thought
IL over for days, and had concluded that
il was fully two or three weeks before the
murder when he last saw the girl. and
that her companion was not Durrant
