AN INTERESTING OPINION
Relative to Building and Loan Asso-
ciati0ns
Attorney General Fitzgerald Holds That They
Can Issue Stock Certificates for
Shares Subscribed

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-An opin-
ion of general interest to all members of
building and loan associations has been
rendered by Attorney General Fitzgerald.
1t is addressed to the board of commits
sioners of building and loan associations
and is in reply to three questions.
The first is as to the legal status of the
Stockton Land, Loan and Building asso.
citation and its shareholu ers; second
whether such association can issue
shares of stock and whether certificates or
only certificates OF mem bership; and
third, whether such ASSOCIATION should be
allowed to proceed as heretofore or be
required to amend its articles of incorpo-
ration. The answer is:
First-The fact that said association
had, as shown by its annual report 7474
shares of $500 each. does not alter or
change the status of the corporation cr
the relation of its shareholders to it a
it is expressly provided by section $50 of
the civil code that corporations of this
character may be organized with or with.
out n capital stock.
Second-Such association can issue GER
subscribed for by the mem bers and such
pership.
Third am further of the opinion that
the said association. as shown in its
articles OF incorporation, practically con-
forms TO title 16. part a. division l, of the
civil code. and therefore there is no rea-
son for requiring it to amend its articles
of incorporation.

upon its fourth week. During the first
two weeks substantial class of jurors
was drawn from the box and it was com
paratiyely easy Ito secure :eight men who
said they mad no bias fand were satisfac-
tory for very. reason. All of the past week
was spent in a vain effort to find a single
satisfactory talesman. AS the case pro-
crosses the respective counsel find it
more difficult to be satisfied with venir-
men. Anyone who seems acceptable to
one side appears to be Objectionable to
the other on general principles. Counsel
find it easy to dispose of Objectionable We
niremen without perem ptory challenges.
The defense has twelve of its twenty per-
emrtory challenges left, and returns have
been made on nearly one Thousand ve-
niremen. Should no progress be made
next week the defense will probably re-
new its motion for a change of venue. If
lit can be shown that it is practically i'm
possible to obtain jury here the motion
will be granted as the denial of the mo-
tion at the beginning of the trial was
only provisional.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, August Flew
spectators were present this afternoon
when the court of common pleas convened
to receive report OF the grand jury
which has been in continual session for
nearly three months investigating the
celebrated Stillwell murder case. The
report was filed at 2 p.m., but the tenor
OF it was not known until after p.m.,
when Sheriff Pratt went to the residence
OF William Perkins. at whose home the
Hearnes are staying. and placed DR..
Hearne and wife under arrest, charged
with the murder of A. J. Stlllwell on the
night of Decem ber %. 1883.
The Indictment was murder in the first
degree. and the case is therefore not
bailable. An effort was made to interview
DIR. Hearne after his arrest, but he refused
to saw anything. The sheriff took his
prisoners to Palmyra by private con-
veyance. Sheriff Pratt stated that the
Hearnes would receive tho same treat
ment accorded other prisoners. They
will be lodged in separate cells, Oh differ
ent floors. and they will not be permitted
to see or talk to each other.
They will be arraiCned on the 10th of
September in the Hannibal court of
common pleas for the murder of Amos
Stillwell, the wealthy pork packer and
former husband of Mrs Hsarne.

Mrs. Leaks neighburs a,e inclined to
dlscredit her story, and to represent her
as woman rather prone to gossip. They
credit her with the origin of the state
ments that young men anu young women
were accustomed to resort to the church

August kellner and John Rush are the
names of the two new witnesses by whom
the prosecuti IN in the Durrant case ex-
poets to prove that Durrant was in the
habit of visiting the belfry of Emanuel
church in company with young girls.
Kellner is carpenter, and III Septem ber,
1898, he was engaged to repair the belfry
OF the church, which ha1 been damaged
by storm. One day, while at work in
the belfry with Rush, he says Dnrrant,
accompanied by girl, entered the belfry.
On seeing the men there they left. A
few Gays later Durrant again entered the
belfry, this time with another girl. They
remained few minutes and then went
away. These visits to the tower occurred
over year before the murders COM
menced, and while the testimony OF the
new witnesses has no direct bearing upon
the case, it goes to show, so the police
think, that Durrant was rot the virtuous
young man that he pretended to be.

Durrant's Connection With Blanche Lamont
Becoming Clearer

Becoming Clearer
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE
statement of Mrs. Caroline Leak that she
saw Theodore Durrant and Blanche La
mont enter Emanuel Baptist church on
April Sd a few minutes before Miss La
mont is supposed to have been murdered,
has broken the ice and two more wit
nesses have come forward who say they
saw Durrant and the girl in the vicinity
of the church at the same time-about 4 p.
M. One of the new witnesses is John
Rush,a carpenter who lives at 100 Tenth
street.
Rush's story is to the effect that in
CON pany with friend. the man whose
identity the police are keeping secret. he
was strolling along Twenty-secoao street
from the direction of Mission A young
man and girl were walking toward
them from the direction OF Valencia
street. The man and girl turned into
Bartlett street. going in the direction of
the church, and on the same side of the
street. Rush and the other witness
passed on.
Eleven days later. when the news of
the murders in the church became
known. Rush had visit from his COM
panion of April 3D.. He was astonished
tv learn from him that the young man
whom they had met on Twenty second
street with the girl was Theodore Dur
rant. Rush asked il there could be any
possibility of mistake, and his friend
told him that there was none; that he
had known Durrant long time and
could not be mistaken about his appe ar
ance. Miss Lamont was unknown to
Rush's friend and he could not identify
her. but as to Durrant he was positive.
The men hesitated for some time about
making their information known to the
hut finally decided that it
was theiradu to do SO. lhey made a
visit to Captain Lees and told him their
story. They were shown the clothing of
Miss Lamont which was found in the
belfry. and both men declared them
selves as certain that they were the gar
ments worn by the girl whom they saw
walking with Durrant.
Then Captain Lees showed them pho
tograph of Durrant. Rush's friend iden-
titled it positively, ald Rush was reason
ably certain that it was the picture of
the man he met on Twenty second street.
Mrs. Leak, the new witness, was form
erly resident Of Gloversvilie, n. Y.
