DURRANT MORE WAKEFUL.
Only Indication of Nervousness the
Convicted Man Has Shown
Since the Verdict.

Durrant spent quiet day in Jail yester-
day. He had some visitors, but they were
chiefly representatives of newspapers.
To look at him one would not suppose
for an instant that he had ever been con-
victed of the murder of Blanche Lamont.
Last night he was lying upon his bunk,
with one leg bent so that his knee was con-
siderably higher than his head, and he was
reading book as calmly as if nothing of a
troubling nature had ever occurred in his
lifetime. Some persons have INDUCED a
belief that before long he would break
down, basing their ideas on the conduct of
some criminals in the past, but when Dur
rant put out his light and went to sleep he
was the same man as ever-cool, easy, un-
concerned.
There is only one thing that might be
taken as any indication at all of nervous
ness; that is, that since the verdict of the
jury he has not gone to sleep as early as he
was accustomed to during the trial. 1t was
his won't to retire for the night at II o'clock
or earlier but for the two nights following
the verdict his eyes did not close in slum
ber until late hour. Last night he ap-
peared to go to sleep earlier, however, than
the night previous.
Saturday night and yesterday Durrant
devoted more or less to writing. He says
he is preparing some literary matter fol
publication. He had been writing, he said
but it was not about the case which has
filled the public mind. As to speaking ol
either the Lamont or Williams cases be
gays he cannot, in view of the instructions
of his attorneys.
"I have wanted to talk he remarked,
land it has almost driven me crazy to
have to keep my mouth shut, but my at
torneys are managing my defense, aud
to any one. and I simply have to obey.
Every time l am reported as talking at all
| am taken to task about it by my attor-
neys. l have, therefore, made up my
mind to simply be polite and pass the time
of day with the reporters, and that is all.
l shall keep my wicket closed and not see
any reporter at all If can help it.o

IN tracing the murderer as he did in the
West case.
The body of Minnie Williams was dis
covered between 1C and II O'Clock Satur-
day morning, April 13 Sergeant Burke
was not notified of the discovery TILL ABOUT
Two hours later, and he 1mmedlately 1e!e-
phoned to police headquarters. The Chlef
had gone to lunch, and on his return. about
2 o'clock, he was informed OF the finding
OF the body. He rapidly gathered all the
fhctS and at once set the whole machinery
at his command to work. Detectives We're
sent to find out who the girl 8 male TRENDS
were and to bring them to poilce head
lnterrogated by the Chief. Mr. Morgan
had also been sent for, and from him the
Chief learned about Durrant's visits to his
house to see the girl. He also ascertalned
about Durrant being seen at the Terry
Friday afternoon and leaving with young
girl answering Minnie Williams descrlp-
ton.
By this time it was about 5 o'clock, and
the Chief ordered all the detectives avail
able to go in search of Durrant and find
him at all hazards. Detective Anthony
was one of them, and he remarked, THAT s
the young fellow that was travelling with
Blanche Lamont"
Then" said the Chief, 'lf we find Dur
rant we will have the murderer of Minnie
Blanche Lamont she will not be alive
1t was learned from Durrant's mother
that Theodore had not been home since
that morning. and she, not having any
suspicion that he was wanted by the
police, added that he was going early next
morning to Mount Tamalpais with the
Signal Corps.
The Chief sent Detective Seymour with
the last boat to Marin County to find Dur
rant at all cost if he turned up IN that To-
cality, but some hours after Seymour had
gone the Chief received information that
the Signal Corps was going to Mount
Diablo instead of to Mount Tamalpais. 1t
was too late to send any one to Mount
Diablo, so Anthony was instructed to leave
with the first train next morning.
The Chief remained in his office till 3
o'clock Sunday morning receiving reports
from detectives and policemen, which
contained material to strengthen him in
his conviction that he was on the right
trail.
Next morning came the discovery of the
body of Blanche Lamont, and the finding
of the photograph album and Minnie Will
liams' purse by Sergeant Burke in Dur
rants overcoat in his fathers house.
The Chief had received telephone mes

A Gruesome Find

The body of an unknown man was found
floating off Lombard-street wharf yesterday
morning by Henry Desmond boatman. The
body had evidently been in the waters a long
time, but had been kept down by fifty pounds
OF old iron, which was tied to the waist by a
hayrope. In the pockets there were only a
cheap knife and metal corkscrew. The face
was too badly decompo.ed to admit of any
ldenufcation. The man was about feet s
inches In height and past middle age The
clothes were poor and consisted of q black
ulagonal cutaway coat, brown vest, dark
shoes. h

sented To-A British ship Carrying
Contraband OF War Seized.

Washington City. April IA cable re-
port that seven of me eight terms OF
peace between Japan and China have
been agreed upon occasions much specu-
iatton here as 70 the eighth term on which
Japan insists. The japanese officials say
they have no information Of shs eight
conditions. There is no doubt. however.
that i've OF the most essential conditions
are those given in these dispatches at
the outset OF the negotiations. viz. A
new Japan-china treaty eonceding Japan
extra-terFitorial courts In China, but de-
nying the latter country extra-teFritoriai
courts in Japan: the independence OF
Korea; an indemnity OF about ssa.es 90:
occupation OF Port Arthur and Uehaiwei
Tor term OF years. and cession OF the
island OF Formosa- The FIVE terms are
now fully confirmed by the later develop
ments of the conference. Three additional
ones have now been added, and these.
IL is believed. relate to trade matters.
Which one of these eight terms of peace
Is the cause of delay Is not known here.
II Is agreed by all hands. including the
Japanese and Chinese officials. that the
independence OF Korea will be one OF
the terms OF peace. This brings out
the curious fact that the United States
Is the only power which has hitherto
recognized Korea's independence and has
received diplomatic delegation from that
country. II is stated that some time
ago China addressed a private letter TO
all foreign powers, stating that Korea
was Independent in conducting her in
ternal affairs. but vas tributary 10 China
as Tar as dealing with foreign powers
were concerned II has never been dis
closed what answer the powers gave. but.
from the fact that Korea has no oIpio-
matte legation outside OF the United
States, IL Is concluded that the European
powers acquiesced In the Crinese SIG
gestion and failed to accord Korea COM
plete independence OF China. II is under
stood that the United States never made
any formal reply 10 .China's contention.
but the establishment of "a Korean Ie-
CATION at Washington City was tacit
refusal 10 recognize her authority over
Korea and recognition Of the latter's
Independence. Ii is believed ne peace
agreement between Japan and China Will
so conspicuously affirm koreas indie
pendence that the little kingdom Will
mainder of the world and establish le-
cations throughout Europe as well as in
the United States.
