THE SAN FRANCISCO CRIMES.

The circumstancial evidence against
w. II. r. Durrant of San Francisco,
is not very strong. 1t has been found
that he was seen with Miss Williams
on the night of the murder; that he
appeared at q reception late and de-
sired to wash his hands; also that he
was seen to have come down out Of the
tower of the church on April ,, weak
and excited.
The case against Durrant. even with
the rather quick and determined YER
dict of the jury is far from decisive.
One fact which will weigh heavily
against him is the surgical neatness
with which the murder was done, for
Durrant is a young surgeon.
The atrOcfOuS circumstances of this
case have excited great interest--aS
much so, as the strange crimes of
Jack the Ripper. In the murder of
Miss Williams, it is found by compe-
tent physicians that parts Of her under
clothing We're crammed down her
throat, and that her body was lacerated

is determined by the absence of any
great amount of blood, the action of
the heart ceasing before any of the
cutting began. This portion of the
crime is beyond understanding. Cases
of outrage and murder are common,
the world over, but there is no expla-
nation for the bestial appetite which
guides hand to slash fanciful cuts
upon the cold body of the victim. No
expiation is allowed among men for
the murders that have sprung from the
impulses of great passions or over
mastering ambitions. and a crime that
evidences merely Il tigerish thirst for
blood. committed in the sacred pre-
cincts of church. is beyond the powers
of n mental analysis, and must GER
tainly stand as Il great mystery, al
though the murderer be convicted and
hanged
