THE FRISCO HORROR.
Strong Circumstancial Evidence Ad-
duced Against Young Durrant.


duced Against Young Durrant.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April To-
Among other circum stances which
have been brought against w. H.
Il. Durrant are that he had key
to the church and was seen con.
Quoting Miss Williams into the
private door OF the church on Fri
day evening. Another significant
fact is that Blanche Lamont, who
was murdered first and carried to
the church belfry, was strangled
by man who used his left hand in
choking the girl. Durrant is am
bideXtrous, using either hand with
equal facility. As to his reputa.
ton as pious youth Of cor.
rect habits, there is another
side TO the story. From the under.
graduates of the medical college
where DUrrant was also a student
a different opinion has been ob.
tanned and the considered him hyp-
ocOndriacal and deceitful, posing
before his fellows as a gallant and
before his church friends as a saint
Great Importance is attached tC
DurrantS acts since the disappear.
ance Of Blanche Lamont. His com
panlOns at the medical college de,
clare that he had not attended a
lecture since the day Miss Lamont
disappeared. He acted strangely
since the search for the La
mont girl began, haunting the
newspaper offices and giving
long and involved theories to ac
count for her absence, always pre-
dieting that she would soon bt
found.
The police heard Of a threatened
attack on the prison to lyncl
Durrant and extra precautions hav,
been taken and a large guard i
posted at the entrance to the prison
but no attack was made. Rela
tives Of MinOs DuIrant and vii
liams believe Durrant killed them
The charge of murder will b
placed against him.
