Durrant Placed ON Trial and Asks a
Change of Venue.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The trial of
William Henry Theodore Durrant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont, in Emanuel
Baptist Church, last April. began this
morning. Upon its conclusion he will be
tried for the murder OF Minnie Williams,
committed in the same edifice. The sher-
iff avoided the crowds who waited around
the court this morning to see the defend
ant. Durrant was taken from his cell at
$50 O'Clock and Was driven from the Jail
to the City Hall in an open buggy, accom-
panied only by the chief jailer. Crowds
waited to see the prisoner for hours. but
all were disappointed. None was admit
ted to the court room but attorneys, wit
nesses and reporters.
The attorneys for the defense moved for
a change OF venue, with the privilege of re-
newing the motion If 1t should be found
impossible to secure an unbiased jury or
should such a state of feeling be devel-
oped as would make fair trial impossi-
BILE. In support of the motion Durrants
lawyers had a bulky affidavit containing
all the articles published in local papers,
concerning Durrant and connecting him
with the Emanuel Church murders The
reading consumed the entire day, and will
he resumed tomorrow. Durrants incar-
ceration has made him paler, but decided
~ stouter. During the proceedings to-day
he displayed no feeling and little interest.
