The CorOner's Jury Returns = Verdict
Against Durrant.


SAN Francisco, April 19.-The coro-
ner's jury shortly before noon rendered
verdict declaring Durrant guilty of the
murder of Minnie Williams.
The usual crowd of curiosi isy- y-seekers
was present when the inquest was re-
sumed this morning. Durrant and his
attorneys were also present.
Elmer Wolf, the young man whose
statements have been questioned re-
Gently, was recalled to the stand and
offered to produce witnesses to substan-
tiate all he had said previously in re-
gard to his movements on the night
Minnie Williams was murdered, but the
coroner declined the offer, and both that
official and the chief of police said they
were satisfied with VOLTS statements
and did not believe he was connected
with the crime.
Two of Durrant's comrades in the Ma
tional Guard company were examined
and said that on the afternoon of the
night that Minnie Williams was MUIR
dered they saw Durrant lettering about
the ferry at the foot of Market street,
and talked to him. They said Durrant
told them he did not expect to be at the
armory that night, and he asked them
to respond to his name at roll-call.
DIR. Bartlett, who conducted the au-
topsy, testified that Minnie Williams
died of asphyxiation, as the result of
having part of her clothing forced down
her throat by the murderer, and that
the knife wounds found on various parts
of her body were inflicted after death.
He also testified that the girl had been
outraged, and that previous to the time
of the tragedy she had led blameless
life.
Several other witnesses were examined
on minor matters, and about IL O'Clock
the coroner announced that he had no
more testimony to offer, though he
called Durrant to take the stand and the
latter left his seat as if to present him.
self for examination, and then looked
toward his attorneys, who advised him
not to speak, and no further effort was
made to question him.

with the prison officials, to whom he
has heretofore shown intense reserve
and when Captain Douglas entered the
prison for the purpose of escorting the
prisoner to the inquest, Durrant greeted
the captain pleasantly, and smiled al

Chief Crowley said today: ''The evi

guilt. We shall prove beyond shadow
of doubt that he met and murdered
Miss Williams, and have no hesitanc,
in saying that the evidence in the cas

REPOSE IN ART.
country,

We are passing through somewhat
strained period of repose in art.
Everything to be admirable, accord
ing to the standard of criticism, must
be reposeful. The uncultured would
call it tame.
No more do we paint inspiring swash-
buckler portraits of our great men with
clouds of smoke in the background of
our military figures or stern expressions
On the countenances, and scrolls repre-
senting worthy deeds clutehed- tightly
in the painted hands, Of our statesmen.
No more are our military statues
mounted on rearing, plunging horses,
balanced on two legs and a tail in way
to command equal admiration from the
student OF mechanics as from the
student of aesthetics. No more are their
swords flung in air, their capes iaring
out behind them, their bronze eyes
flashing terrible things.
These inspiriting figures are among
the discredited things of an art that is
passed and is stigmatized as "wild
Irishmen" effects. In their place
our soldier heroes sit COM
placently astride their horses like
our own bronze BURNSIDE, and gaze
abstractedly over whatever landscape
may be in the way. The counterfeit
presentments of our naval warriors hold
"A spy glass in one hand, poke tho other
hand in their trousers pocket and settle
down into a comfortable Delsartean
pose, to stay there for some time.
We don't know whether we like this
reposeful business so well as we thought
we would. We are not sure that the
"wild Irishman" style of statue making
and portrait painting has not it's
advantages. Possibly the repose idea
has been overworked and prob
ably the rearing-and-tearing idea
was overdone. There is certainly
something to make your heart leap in
the old-fashioned statue or full length
portrait-a crude leap, perhaps, unwar-
ranted by artistic culture, but neverthe-
less leap that sets the blood a-tingle
and makes you feel good.
We repeat, we don't know but what
we are carrying this repose business SO
far that our public monuments aud art
works will serve more to put us to sleep
than to enliven our fancy.
