BALFoUR TO BE TRIED.
LONDON, July 20.-The trial Of
Jabez Balfour, who attained world
wide fame in connection with the
Liberator Building society and
other colossal frauds, Is set for
Monday. Balfour's steallngs ran
up well into the millions, and
swallowed up the savings Of thous-
ands of widows and others in poor
circumstances. He was finally cap
tured in Brazil after tedious
search. He has numerous sym.
pathizers, especially In the relig-
ious circles with which he identi-
fed himself during the twenty
years over which his frauds ex-
tended. Special sermons have
been delivered from hundreds OF
pulpits with a view to raising a
fund to conduct his defense. The
case against him, however, are
very clear, and there is little doubt
that he will spend the remainder
OF his life on the treadmill explain
ing his many crimes.
THE DURRANT TRIAL IN SIGHT.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-The
trial OF young Durrant rr the MUIR
der of two girls, Blanche Lamont
and Minnie Williams, in the
Emanuel Baptist church, has been
set for July %. Some believe that
the trial of this fellow for the most
atrocious crimes committed here
in years will be the the same legal
farce as other murder trials, and
that il he is ever convicted it will
be years before he is hanged. The
other day, for instance. Thomas
st. Clair, who butchered the mate |
of the bark Hesper, at sea, received
his fifth reprieve. There was no
good reason for single reprieve,
as the evidence against him was
conclusive.
