DURRANT CASE.
Surprise Sprung in Court Yesterday
Trial Temporarily Postponed.

Surprise Sprung in Court Yesterday
Trial Temporarily Postponed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Tn the Dur
rant case to-day there was surprise. On
motion of the court and with the consent
of the attorneys on both sides the case was
adjourned over temporarily after dispos-
ing OF the jury list. The Judge and coun-
sci on each side went into secret con-
sultation, and the court on return an
nounced that as the result of the confer
ence it was decided to take a days ad-
cies that had arisen. The court and
counsel are supposed to have then gone
into consultation second time thereafter.
Juror Brown desired to make a state
ment just prior TO adjournment, but the
court checked him.
These movements, as matter of
course, excited great speculation as to
what the exlgencleS are to which Judge
Murphy alluded. 1t is thought by some
that the trouble is relative to Juror
Brown, who was one of the jurors in the
Howell case, in which where conviction
was expected five jurors held out for ac-
quittal, Brown being one of these. The
adjournment is also attrl buted to the pub
lished statement that Juror G. Z. Nathan,
who swore that he had no prejudice
against capital punishment, always
escaped jury duty in Sacramento in capi-
tai cases, by swearing that he was in
conscience opposed to capital punish
Inent.
The third supposition relative to the
adjournment is that the court is consider
ing the action of the E.rdDti1e3 in inter-
viewing Juror Brown since he has been
sworn IN to try the case, it being held
that this is q cOnlemptuous violation of
the courts order that the jurors accepted
should not converse or communicate
with anyone concerning the case. The
general belief is that this last is the real
cause of the adjournment, and that on re-
cOnvenlng of the court there will be
Instituted proceedings for contempt. On
the other theories, it is held by some
lawyers that there is danger of mistrial,
and by others that the prosecution may
ask leave to withdraw the two jurors
named; that TO this the defense will object,
and that q compromise will be effected by
the people consenting to the dismissal of
the jury and a continuance Of the case,
on which the defense will again move for
a change Of venue, which the court will
be likely to grant. There is expressed
much indignation at the unwarrantable
intermeddling of sensational newspapers
with the trial, an interference that may
result in the defeat of justice.

Charge hat Milk Was Doctored So 1t
Would Soon Sour.
PETALUMA. Aug. The milk war is
still raging here A few days ago q. W.
Starkey, who had made himself very un-
popular with the other milk men by SELL
ing milk at the rate of thirty quarts for
a dollar, had an alteration with l.. c.
Mayhem, d mixer on the ranch Of Will
lam Hall, where Starkey got his milk,
and stabbed Mayhem. Starkey is now in
jail in consequence.
Starkey's lawyer, j. 2. Rodgers, now
comes out with tho statement that May
heW doctOred the milk sold to Starkey
so that ii would turn sour ON the custom
ors' hands, and he says that Mayhew
was paid to do this by one Of the rival
mllkmen.
Mayhew emphatically denies that he
doctored the milk, although he says an
attempt was made to corrupt him. In
his turn he charges Statkey with adul-
teratlng his own milk. He says that
Starkey put three gallons OF water with
ten gallons of milk, and that the milk
soured because dirty tins were used.
