SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-An-
other week of the Durrant trial opened
today, after three days rest. The
court will sit tomorrow and Thursday,
and will then possibly take a recess
until. the following Monday.
The witnesses today were all of the
searching party when the garments of
Blanche Lamont were discovered con-
cealed in hooks and crannies of the
belfry of Emanuel church.
Policemen E. f.. Somps, j. Nc
Creery, e. V. Herd and G. H. Graham
testified to the finding of the murdered
girls gloves, stockings, underwear,
hat, shoes and school books.
The defendants attorneys tried to
show by the witnesses that the police
department had conducted the eXami-
nation of the church building in very
careless manner and that while the
policemen were hunting for the
clothes of the dead girl the church
was open to the general public, and
that hundreds of curious citizens pass
ed through the editice.
All the police witnesses denied any
recollection of this, but stated, on cross
examination, that the articles OF cloth
ing had been found in places difficult
of access, indicating that the person
who had hidden them had been famil-
lar with the belfry.
John T. Dare, prosecuting attorney
Of police court No. 8. testified that I'M
der the head of Blanche Lamont's body
as it lay in the belfry had been placed
two blocks of wood. Asked if he dis
cerned any marks of footprints when
the body was found, Dare said that
the placed looked as if the body had
been dragged about the room, which
was untidY and dusty.

SIMPLY SPECULATION.
Decrease in the Gold Reserve
Causes No Uneasiness Among Of
fcials.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-Only
s150,000 in gold was withdrawn from
the New York sub-treasury, which
leaves the true amount of the gold re-
serve $97, 544, 666. Treasury officials show
no uneasiness on account of the de-
pletion of the reserve. They argue that
the situation is brought about solely
by speculation, and there is no legiti-
mate reason for gold going abroad
now. The movement of the cotton crop
is now under way, and this added to
the grain shipments of the northwest
which must soon start, it is said, off
set any speculative tendency toward
further shipment of gold.

He is a TRUE AMERICAN.
He will stand by the United States
flag against foreigners.
He will uphold the public schools

He viii oppose Romish influence in

He is a LOYAL AMERICAN and can

trfbuted Ritchie's friends rushed to
learn what. this meant. lie said he
had nothing whatever to 10 with the
thing, and his friends rushed to pick
up all they could of the obnoxious
things.
