Pure Blood

Is absolutely necessary in order to have
good health. The greatest atliction of
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 2i0O disorders incl
dent to the human frame, the large ma
j>rity arising from the impure or pois-
onous condition of the blood.
The best remedy for all blood diseases
is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its loudest
praise. 1t is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does that tells the
story.
No remedy has ever had SO marked
success, or won such enormous sales.
Scrofula in its severest forms yields
to its potent powers, blood poisoning
and salt rheum and many other diseases
are permanently cured by it. For a

those impurities which have accumu-
lated during the winter, or to overcome

Az Idea of the Numbe of Club Women

Two hundred and fifty clubs, with a
membership of $4,000, were represented
at the federation of clubs this year. AS
this number is probably not tenth Of
the total number of women's clubs in
this country, the figures, if they could
be secured, would be astonishing.

The EtOn Jackets Back.

The Elton jacket is the most popular
waist this season. If we could see our
selves as others see us, perhaps many
women would have that back changed
which rambles apparently aimlessly up
ward to the shoulder blades and is the
most awkward form of dress that can be
imagined.

of any noise if I feel like it, but if I
don't then can't get either my ideas
or words down to suit me.
Durrant was asked about persons who
had keys of Emanuel church, and the
names of those known to have keys were
reclted to him. He listened intently and
reflected some moments before remark
ing:
There are others'-you know that
saying. Well it fits this key matter
There are Others. do not know all who
had keys, but there are others than those
you mentioned" p"
Asked if he knew any ladies who held
keys, he said mo, | don't think of any
now. If ladies wanted to get into the
church they could borrow my key, or get
DR.. Kings or Mr.. Taber's. 1t was easy
enough to get key any time. DIR. King
is one of the incest and pleasantest men
in the church and he would always lend
his key. I'm sure. 1t was not so easy to
borrow mine because | was away from
home at the college. The sexton could
let anybody into the church, and sup
pose the treasurer of the church. J. A.
Davis who works at the Art association
in the Hopkins house. had key. I'm
sure there were others, and their names
will all come to light, -
Discursively Durrant talked of several
matters that have interest since he has
been accused of the murder of the young
ladies in Emanuel church.
That horse | rode to Mount Dablo,"
he said, ''is a splendid old fellow. | never
knew his name was Fay, but like him
very much. He works in harness all right
and as saddle horse he is fine. Nobody
would think he could run, but he goes
like the wind if you let him out. and l
could run away from any horse in the
troop. When got him Saturday morn
ing he was feeling gay and [ let him go
as fast as he liked down to the ferry. 1t
is true that | had a small package, but it
was hardly bundle, and if am asked
what was in the package | will tell and
prove it was nothing except some little
things | needed. 1t seems queer that
everything | did was taken up as though
it was something wrong, but | guess that
is the way the police have. l don't feel
that l am being treated well by the
upper Office, but the officers OF the
prison are very kind. Perhaps the de-
tectives think they must create an impress
sion that | am a criminal, and that is
why they twist everything and leave me
at such disadvantage. but | have not
lost confidence, and am ready to go to
court any time.
II expect the court will hold me after
the verdict of the coroner's jury. Those
awful murders made such an impression
that everybody feels that some man must
be directly accused, and perhaps Judge
Conlan will feel it impossible to take the
responsibility of letting me go. But that
will be all right. He will do what he
thinks best. and when my trial comes
everything will be made clear. | can prove
an alibi about the time Blanche Lamont
disappeared, and every body will soon see
that | could not have had anything to
do with the death of Minnie Williams
The herald., 1895-04-24

The witnesses are Misses Cecilia and
Maggie Fitzpatrick and the Misses
Emma and Louisa Struyen. who live near
the corner of Twenty and Howard
streets.
According to their statements, they
were walking along Twenty second street.
when they saw man standing at the
corner of Bartlett street. He wore long
overcoat and a soft hat, which was pulled
down over his eyes. AS the young ladies
passed him he raised his hat and called
Flora" He then walked over to the
group and, after looking into the faces of
the group of young ladies, excused him
self and passed on.
When the body of Miss Williams was
discovered the following day the young
ladies recalled the incident of the pre-
ceding night and Immediately suspected
that the stranger who had accosted them
was the murderer. They contided their
suspicious to their parents, but for some
reason the latter at first failed to noGfy
the police
After the arrest of Durrant the young
ladies became convinced that he was the
individual who spoke to them on the
night that Miss Williams was murdered,
and so told sevral friends.
The young ladies are positive that Dur
rant is the individual who spoke to them
on the night that Miss Williams was MUIR
dered. When they first saw HIM he was
standing under the glare of the gaslight
and apparently engaged in deep medita-
ton. AS they approached to within Il
few feet of him he turned around and
faced the group. Miss Fitzpatrick care
fully scrutinized him and is convinced
that he was no other than Durrant
The positive statements OF these young
ladies dscredits, tu say the least, Dur
rants story to the police. Shortly after
his arrest he made statement in which
he said he was not in the vicinity of pr.
Gibson's church when the muder was
supposed to have been committed. Ac-
cording to his story he left his home
about o'clock and walked to Twenty
fourth and Guerrero streets. He was
Joined by DIR. Perkins, who accompanied
him as far as Twenty third and Valencia
streets. After a short conversation they
separated. Durrant claims that he
boarded an electric car on Mission street,
intending to go TO the armory on Page
and Cough streets. After he had pro-
ceeded short distance he rememb berd
that he had promised to attend a meet
ing of the Christian Endeavor society at
DR.. Vogel's house. and aligbted from the
car. He then walked up Mission street
and at Fifteenth crossed over to Howard
and subsequently went to DR.. Voge's res
n
The meeting did not adjourn until after
IL o'clock, and Durrant with six young
people. walked to Twenty fourth ana
Howard streets. There the party sepa-
rated, Durralt claiming that he pro-
cseded as far as Bartlett street, where he
found the purse belonging to Miss Will
liams. He then went directly to his
home.

TOLD ON THE WITNESS STAND

those worn by the man he had seen on
that ventful night.
George W. Burgess, medical student,
said that Durrant was not present at che
lecture at which he was credited as being
present on the 10Th inst.
Frank Steadman, the janitor of Eman-
uel church, testified that he had seen
Durrant at the ferry on Friday, the 18th.
and that the defendant had told him
that he had a slight clue to Miss Lamont's s
whereabouts and was tracing it. He did
not know whether or not Durrant had a
key to the church. He saw Durrant and
George King changing the lock on the
library door. Durrant usually entered
the church through side door.
James Steadman, the son of the janitor,
was the next witness, but nothing be-
yond what he had already told was
elected
Annie Moesant, a young lady resident
of Alameda. testified that she had seen
Miss Williams talking to young man OIL

afternoon of April Sth. Witness thought
that Durrant was the man, but could not
positively identify him.

from is almost suffocatng, even under the
glare OF the MONDAY sun, to say nothing
OF what it must be after nightfall.
After getting diagram of the ground,
as shown herewith. some of the near by
residents were called upon to ascertain
the general feeling of the neigh borhood in
regard to the complaints which had been
made to the board of supervisors.
Among those interviewed was Mr..
f. Biggy. who resides in well-appointed
house en- the corner of Griffin avenue and
Henry street. Mr.. Biggy is one of the old
residents and has spent years of time and
great deal Of money in identifying the
spacious grounds surrounding his resi-
dence, and consequently feels Justly in
dignant at what he terms 'the worst out
rage that has ever been perpetrated upon
the residents of that locality" =
When approached by the Herald repre-
sentative at his home, Mr.. Bggy said:
"Yes, the people OF this neigh borhood
are very much excited and alarmed over
the location Of this pest house right at
our doors. This pest house which you
see there is not over two hundred feet
from my front door. and the three in
mates whenever they step out OF the door
The herald., 1895-04-24

Hodgdon, the Southern Pacific claim adj
Juster, was another new witness. He
saw the man he thinks was Durrant urg-
ing girl in the direction of Emanuel
church after O'Clock on the night Min
ME Williams was murdered.
Hodgdon's identified tion was not posi-
tive. He said he was sure enough for an
ordinary business transaction. He
would have wagered money OH the pre-
sumption that they were the same. but
that was as far as he would go.
About as strong was the evidence of two
young ladies of Alameda who saw a man
who looked like Durrant on the porch at
Clark MUrgan's house talking to Minnie
Williams on the Monday preceding the
murder.
Durrant's height and general appea
ance were that of the man at Alameda
and his face was very similar but that
he was the man neither of the girls
would swear, though they evidently were
quite satisfied Of it.
Durrant has taken to watching the wit
nesses. He looks at them steadfastly
from the time they mount the witness
stand until they leave it. His look ex-
presses absolutely nothing. 1t is not
hostile, pleading, interested. incredulous.
surprised, angry, grieved, hopeful or
despairing.
Whether their testimony is strong
against him or only inferentially accus-
ing, his expression is the same. There
is a hint of surliness about his face, due
to the dull eyes under the thick eyebrows
and to the heavy jaw. He talks very
little to his lawyers, pays absolutely no
attention to the crowd that cranes and
strains to see him. and watches the pro-
ceedings with surly unconcern. Today
he chewed gum.
He looked better than on the day be-
fore. The circles about his eyes are not
so dark and there was some color in his
face but he is still very different look
ing man from the ruddy young soldier
Detective Anthony brought back from
Mount Diablo.

LEPROSY is OPENLY EXPOSED

The excitement over the location of
leper pest house on the East Side, which
was noticed exclusively in The Herald
yesterday, has continued to grow, and the
tears of the residents in the vicinity of
Mission road and Griffin avenue have in
creased almost to a panic. Herald re-
porter visited the scene of the trouble yes
terday ard found widespread and deep
rooted dissatisfaction. to put it mildly. at
the action of the board and the county
physician in placing this 10x20 little board
shanty, by courtesy called pest house,
with it's three leprous occupants within
few hundred feet and Immediately in
front of some of the best residences in
that part OF the city.
The building. as shown in the diagram.
is located on the county hospital grounds
near the corner of Griffin and Woodward
avenues. 1t is rough board structure
with joints unbattened, the roof of ten
inch boards, but the joints of it are bat
tened. 1t is parttioned into two rooms,
one of which is occupied by Chinaman
and the other by Spaniard and Ger
man. The latter presents most loath-
some and disgusting appearance, which
is better undescribed. The sewage from
the pest house emptes Immediately into
the small stream running through the
grounds, and also the general dump for
all garbage from the hospital is located
Just on the bank. A few feet below the
open outlet for all the sewage from the
hospital buildings pours continual
stream of filth into the same little
stream, so that the effluvia arising there

The newly discovered witnesses are pos
tive that when they saw Durrant stand
ing on the corner of Twenty second and
Bartlett streets it was not later than 8
o'clock or 9:15 at the utmost.
They claim they could not be mistaken
as to the hour, as one of them had con-
suited watch a few minutes before they
were accosted by Durrant.
The police are greatly elated over the
finding of the four new witnesses. They
claim that with their evidence they will
be able to show that Durrant induced
Miss Williams to enter the church on the
night of April 18th last, and brutally
murdered her. They were seen, it is
claimed, to enter the church shortly after
o'clock, and the police believe that the
crime was committed between that hour
and 8 O clock,

are in plain view. They are left there
without any restraint. There is no one
in charge of them and they can go out in
the public highway or over to the city
and attend the Fiesta or any other cele-
bration in the city, the same as you

''Do you ever see them outside of the
grounds, Mr.. Biggy?"
"Yes, sir. The Chinaman has been
driving the COWS back and forth from the
pasture until recently, since our last pro-
test to the board. And the Spaniard has
been visiting his family over in the city
until very recently, and his wife still con-
tinues to visit him here at the pest house.

go and come at their own pleasure, as

leper from his general appearance.
The residence of Carson A. Miller. just
across Griffin avenue from the pest house,
was next visited. Mr.. Miller was at his
place of business in the city. but Mrs.
Miller expressed herself very emphaticaly
on the subject. She said:

here where it endangers our health and

hood is scared about it. don't know

THE ACCUSED TALKS
Durrant Expects to Be Held to Answer for the
Murders

SAN FRANCISCO. April %. Theodore
Durrant is convinced that he will be
held to answer the charge of murder. and
does not hesitate to say so. All yesterday
he had callers. and besides those who were
admitted a large number of persons Sc
cured permits to see him from Chief
Crowley. but were refused the privilege
by Durrant, to whom all SUCH permits are
submitted before the holders are allowed
to pass the prison doors.
The prisoner devoted considerable time
to his devotional exercises during the
early morning hours, and on concluding
mis- prayers he asked an acquaintance
what his attorneys were doing. He re-
ceived the reply that they had spent Sat-
urday photographing and measuring the
scene of the crime, and that they were be
lieved to have possession of bloody shoe
found in DR.. Glbson's study.
The herald., 1895-04-24

"Is that so?' calculated Durrant. $50

cause there is little matter | want to

Durrant was cheerful though evidently
weary and somewhat distressed by his
confinement. The ruddy color gained on
his ride to Mount Diablo a week ago has
gone and left pallor that is heightened
by the artificial light or the prison. Still.
his appetite is good and he is physically
well.
When asked if he was willing to talk
for publication, Durrant said:
''Yes, | am. | told you that the night
was brought here, and [ have been will
ing to talk freely all the time, but am di-
reted not to do so by General Dickinson.
