Durrant Case.
San Francisco, Aug. lion Monday
the trial of Theodore Durrant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont will enter
upon it's fifth week. All of the past
week was spent in a vain effort to find
a single satisfactory talesman. AS the

with veniremen. Anyone who seems
acceptable to one side, appears OBJ
jectionable to the other on general prin-
ciples. The counsel find it easy to dis
pose of Objectionable veniremen with
out peremptory challenge. The defense
has II of it's 20 peremptory challenges
left and returns have been made on
nearly 1000 veniremen. Should no pro-
gress be made next week the defense
will probably renew it's motion for a
change of venue. If it can be shown
that 1t is practically impossible to OBJ
tain jury here the motion will be
granted, as the denial at the beginning
of the trial was only provisional.
