THE CRIME OF THE AGE
For Horror Of Brutal
Suggestion.
Durant Was a Veritable
Hyena.
His Religion Cloak for Heart of
Hellish Blackness-S Sickening
Details.

san FRANCISCO, April 15.-W. H.
7. Durant, suspected Of the n 1rder of
Blanche Lamont and Marian Will
Jams, has lost his former calmness of
demeanor. He is excited and nervous,
and whether innocent or guilty realiz-
es his serious predicament. He was
today formally charged with the mur-
der of Marian Williams He was
served with a warrant from the police
court sworn to by Detective Anthony
who arrested him at Mount Diablo
Yesterday. His name today was
stricken from the roll of students at
the Cooper medical college. The po-
lice have discovered no new develop
mentS since last night.
The report was current this morning
that Durant had confessed, and that
a third body had been found in the
church. The police say there is not
the least truth in either theory.
Chief Crowley is satisfied that Du-
rant is the man who outraged and
murdered Blanche Lamont and Marian
Williams. That Blanche was muir
dered and afterwards carried to the
belfry is evident because the thick
dust in the belfry shows only a mans
footprints, and no evidence of strug-
gle. 1t is urged in Durant's behalf
that man SO small and slight as he
could not alone have carried the body
up the winding stairs of the belfry
He is only 5 feet inches tall and not
robust looking. The shavings and
wood which has evidently lain on the
floor since the church was built had
not been disturbed in the belfry. The
murderer had placed block Of wood
under the victims head and also one
under each heel.
Stories of Durant's Jeky1 and Hyde
character are coming out. In Emanuel
church he was noted for his religious
fervor. Other residents Of the mission
district say he was frequenter of
saloons, and played cards and billiards
in the wine rooms. nightly visiting
with other youths, saloons with side
entrances for women. His classmates
at the medical college say Durant was
blasphemous and fiippant in conversa-
tion, and especially about women. A
few days after Blanche Lamont disap-
peared, Durant spoke lightly of her
reputation.

Chicago, April 13.-The disturbing
element which set the wheat market
in a ferment on Thursday was worked
over again this morning and was the
principal element in creating the early
fluctuations. 1t was discovered that a
leading firm partly unloaded the 1OO,-
600 bushels of wheat which it was
said was to be put back into the store
instead of being sent to Buffalo, but
the owners of the grain ordered the
unloaded part of the cargo back into
the vessels again and the vessels to
proceed with it to the original desti-
nation. The opening price for May
wheat was 81 3-4, at which price the
buying orders exceeded the selling.
The price worked gradually upward
to 55 1-S and after reaching once to
81 1-S, it alternated during the great
er part of the session between 55 bid
and IS sellers.

LATER INTELLIGENCE.

A curious coincidence in connection
with the murder is the fact that Miss
Williams was close friend of Miss
Blanche Lamont, the young girl from
Montana, who has been missing for
the past ten days. Mrs. Noble, Miss
Lamont's aunt, was the first to dis
the church. Mrs. Noble today received
through the mails a paper in which
were wrapped three rings worn by
her missing niece the night she dis
appeared. On the paper was the name

WORSE THAN A TIGER.

San Francisco, April 15.-Further
mystery is added to the affairs of
Emanuel Baptist church by the report
that Mrs. Ella Forsythe, who has
been missing for week, was also
member of the parish of that fatal
place of worship. Her husband, who
has been searching diligently for her,
says she left home to go to the beach
to gather shells. She never has been
seen or heard Of since, and 1t is sur
missed that she may have shared the
fate of Blanche Lamont and Mary
Williams.
Police Surgeon Summers said:
Medical works abound with cases of
men whose animal passions could not
be aroused without the sight of blood.
It may be that Durant is one of that
class of human tigers. The crimes
with which he is charged appear to
have been the act of a man inspired
In such bloody instincts, as the post
mortem examination clearly proves
that the victims were killed and after
wards outraged"
George R. King, organist of the
church where the horrible crimes were
both committed, made the statement
to Chief of Police Crowley this after
noon which tends to fix one crime at
leaSt-the murder of Miss Lamont
upon Durant. King says that on April
Sd (the day Miss Lamont was misseO
he went into the church about 5 p.
m. to practice on the organ.

Olympia, April 15.-People here are

Lamont's congregation was gathering
for evening Easter service when a
telegram announced the finding of the
body of his niece in Emauel Baptist

spread rapidly through the congrega-
ton and service was dispensed with.

A WHISKY MURDER.

Tacoma, April ia special to the
Ledger from Wilkeson, Wash, says:
John Bolog shot Mike Metro about
6:15 tonight. Both had been quarrel
ing in a saloon. Bolog was under the
influence of liquor, but went away
and on his return told several per-
sons whom he met that he was going
to kill Mike Metro. He walked into
the saloon and without warning shot
Metro in the right side of the neck,
just below the base of the skull. Bolog
ran for the hills but was captured
and brought back, and as there is no
Jail here, he was placed in box car
and strong guard placed around the
car. Metro is still alive but his re
covery is very doubtful. He has not
regained consciousness. Both were
Polanders and are miners.

MR. THURsTON's IDEA.


Omaha, April 13-In an interview
with representative of the Associated
Press, Senator Thurstcn announced
that he had changed his view on the
financial question during his tour in
the west. He had always declared in
harmony with the republican national
platform favoring bimetahsm. He
was strongly opposed to the opening of
the mints to free coinage of the silver
product of other countries until an in:
ternational bimetalic agreement had
been reached. He was in favor, how
ever, of the free coinage off the Amer
lean product, under legislation which
would maintain the equal purchasing
and debt-paying power of all American
dollars. So soon as one political party
is in power in all branches, Mr.. Thurs
ton predicts legislation ON the silver
question, but not before. He expressed
the belief that the business paralysis
was the result of the abandonment of
protection, but he had seen signs of inn
provelnent during his western tour.

CLEVELAND and SILVER
Free Coinage Strongly
Opposed.
His Views Will Soon Be
Expressed.
Morrison of Illinois, Friendly to Silver
So Is ThurstOn in a Limited
Sense.

WASHINGTON, April 13-The in
terest the administration takes in the
campaign against the free silver
movement is undisguised. The letter
which Mr.. Cleveland is preparing to
send to Chicago business men in reply
to their invitation to deliver an ad-
dress upon currency is not less en-
phatic than the one addressed to the
chamber of commerce of New York
in 1892, although it is probable that
he will go more into details and more
explicitly state the reasons for his
opposition to the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1.
Secretary Carlisle will deliver two
speeches on the subject of currency,
but largely devoted to silver. He will
probably speak once in Kentucky and
once in Tennessee in May. His Ken
lucky speech may be at Louisville,
although there have been requests
from his old home in Lexington to
talk there. In Tennessee he will speak
at Memphis or Nashville. Other men,
bers of the cabinet will speak on the
silver question, although no place has
been fixed on. They believe that
campaign of education on the money
question will have the effect of check
ing the movement toward free sill
yer, which they believe has been q
serious menace to the integrity of the
democratic party.
MIR. MORRISON'S VIEWS.
Waterloo, Ills, April 13.-Hon. VIM.
X. Morrison was asked by an Asso-
ciatei Press reporter today to give
his views on the silver question.
nrtan Of this cI1hinof
he said, sis second only to the tariff.
It's unsatisfactory and unsettled COM
dition is believed to have aggravated
the financial and business difficulties
through which we have been COM
PEELED to pass. The place which sill
yer shall occupy in our monetary sys-
TEN, it seems, is question which will
not down. The sentiment in favor of
q larger use of silver and on terms
interchangeable with gold seems to
be growing both here and abroad.
Apparently nobody in Europe is cour-
ageous or relentless enough to attempt
a double standard without Englands
consent. We can safely do this with
England and all Europe opposing. 1t
| is not the legal tender quality which
makes our silver dollars more valu-
able than the silver in them. 1t is be-
cause. under the practice of our hnan-
cial system, they are interchangeable
with gold through the treasury"
