urrant's Examination.

SAN Francisco, April 23.-Another
large crowd assembled in Judge Con.
Ions courtroom this morning to hear
the examination of Theodore Durrant.
When Durrant entered the courtroom
he appeared pale and slightly nervous,
but otherwise appeared cool. The
court room was packed by the same
crowd that attended yesterdays pro.
ceedings, with number of new faces
added.
The first witness was Harry Part
ridge, classmate of Durrants at
Cooper's Medical College. Partridge
testified that he answered to Dur
rants name at roll call at one of the
clinics on April 9Th. Durrant not
being present to answer for him
self. April 9Th is the same day that
Miss Willis, who testified yesterday,
said that she rode ON the same train
with Durrant in Alameda when it is
supposed he called upon Miss Will
hams.
Chas. A. Dukes, another student
testified that he saw Durrant at the
ferry on the afternoon of the 18th
instant, and in conversation with the
prisoner he asked him to answer roll
call at the clinic the next day as
Durrant would be absent on trip to
Mt. Diablo with the signal corps.
Durrant said that he was at the ferry
to sec some comrades of the signal
corps.
Clarence Dodge, also student.
who accompanied Dukes, gave cor
roborative evidence of the meeting
with Durrant at the ferry,
Emma Struven, a young girl, was
next introduced to prove that or lie
Friday on which Miss Williams was
murdered, Durran! ucc0stcd witness
and two girl companions near the
church between 8 and 9:45. The wit
ness said that she did not get good
look at the mans face, but he looked
like Durrant from the back. The
cross eXamination failed to shake her
testimony.
Miss Lucille Turner was the next
witness. She said she had known
Durrant about a year. Durrant had
walked home from Emanuel church
with her. Durrant had spoken to
her in words not those of gentle.
man, and asked her to undergo an ex.
animation, and that Durrant suggest
ed quiet place in the church to con
duct the same. She told him that her
folks could attend to such matters.
He spoke to her of the examination
some time during the first of this year.
Witness said she treated Durrant as if
nothing OF the kind had taken place
because she did not wish a GOODNESS
to attract remarks. She said Dur.
rant had given her several questions
to answer on the subject. The
paper was introduced which she
said contained her hand writing.
The paper she said contained the
answers.

FzTsECAL SUCCESS, y
Which Is, Unfortunately, attend
ed by Only a Handful
of People.

The concert given by the st. Paul
Musicians union at the Grand yester-
day afternoon for the benefit of the un-
employed was by long odds the greatest
musical treat of the season. In fact,
it is very doubtful il there has ever be-
fore been such a feast Of good music
given in the Northwest, and yet but a
handful of people was scattered
through the house. 1t is matter of
regret that after the promoters of the
concert had given their time and talent
to this deserving charity the entertain
ment was not better patr0nized.
Mrs. G. 3. Yale and Mrs. S. Y. uar-
ris were the soioists of the occasion,
and their voices were never heard to
better effect than yesterday. Mrs.
Yale sang ''My heart at thy sweet

its conclusion Manager George Kings
bury, OF the Grand, stepped from the
wings, and in very happy little speech
presented Mr. Safranek with an ebony
baton, tipped with carved ivory, in the
name of Dir. Hurd, to whom the march
was dedicated. The overture from
civilian Telp' called forth a storm OF
applause. The "Andante and Polon-

relief the artistic merit of the band
