DURRANT RUNS A BLUFF.

SAN Francisco, May 9.-An even
ing paper publishes statement made
by Theodore Durrant to friend, in
which the man charged with the mur--
der of two girls in Emanuel church said
that he would make the greatest legal
battle in the history OF the state, and
expressed his confidence regarding the
outcome, predicting that he would soon
be free man. In addition to the
three attorneys already engaged for
the defense. Durrant has retained a
we'll known criminal lawyer, Geo. A.
Knight, and says his case will be
pushed to speedy trial.
There are a good many things
against me-" Durrant is quoted as say
ing, "but fear Harry Partridge who
testified that he had answered roll call
for me on April s, more than any other
witness. 1t Partridge persists in his
statement he will hang me, but my at
torneys will see him and perhaps he
will change his mind. did him many
a good turn and often answered roll
call for him. | hope he wont continue
against me-" The prosecution does not
understand Durrant's lear of Partridge
whose testimony Is cOErODOraCeu.
April was the laat day Durrant yis-
tied Minnie Williams in Alameda.
Durrant denies that he offered ring
te Oppenheimer. the pawn br ker, or
anyone else. He says Oppenheimer is
a tool of the police and has frequently
given similar testimony in other cases.
Durrant is studying medical books and
says upon his release lie will continue
his course until graduation.

lumbia.
During the past week four or five
couples have been convicted of unlaw-
full cohabitation, the court of appeals
having decided that the law is appli-
cable here as we'll as in Utah and other
territories. The police in the different
precincts are getting together a list of
those living in unlawful cohabitation
and there is said to be scores of them
in single police district. Some cou-
pies after being arrested were married
in police courts and then released. One
negro couple were married by the po-
lice judge, and the court officers and
attorneys acted in the capacity respec.
lively of best men, ushers, etc.
The determination of the officers to
enforce the Edmunds law has fright
