One of the oftenest worked expedients of
men anxious to escape the consequences of
their acts is to cry Stop thi eff" and join
in the pursuit.
In the same article with the denial of
the Young interview the New York Jour
nalist's branch paper has long story
about Miss Effie Clapp. The gfst OF the
story is that this young lady saw Durrant
and Minnie Williams near Emmanuel
Church shortly after o'clock on the even
ing of the murder.
AS matter of fact Miss Clapp saw moth
ing of the kind. She did have testing
conversation with two girls, in which they
told her that nineteen reporters had inter
viewed them, and she gayly retorted that
she would have to tell a story to make her
self as interesting as they were. She has
repeatedly explained the jest to represent
atives of the Examiner, as well as to all
others who have spoken to her on the sub
ject, but the Examiner, nevertheless seri-
ously revamps the story as if it were
trustworthy account of real occurrence.

another very important sale of real
estate on Market street was made yester-
day-the second to be announced within a
week. This time it is a lot down near the
ferries depot-25 Market street-which for
merly belonged to the Crawford estate.
An agreeable feature of the transaction
was the price paid for the lot, it being
close to $1,000 front foot for lot 137 IS
feet deep. The lot has frontage of 45 feet
IL inches, and is deep enough to admit of
the construction of high modern build
ing upon it and at the same time afford
ample room for business both wholesale
and retail. 1t was bought by W. NJ. Nc
Carthy, through Shainwald, Buckbee G.
Co.. for $4,000.
The new owner has leased the lot to
general merchandise firm for long term
OF years, with contract that he shall at
once erect six-story building, specially
arranged for and adapted to the occupants
uses.
As much as $4,000 is to be expended in
this structure. There will be high base

She Did Say She Knew Too Much
About Blanche Lamont'S
End.
ONE OF THE EXAMINERS FIBs.
The New York Journalists San Fran.
cisco Paper Has Again Been Say.
ing the Thing Which Is Not.

The objectionable sin of newspaper is
to be beaten on the news, and it is perhaps
natural that a journal finding itself suffer-
ing in this way should endeavor to palllate
the fault.
A favorite course at such a time is to
deny the truth of anything that does not
appear in the columns of the suffering
paper. This line has been followed with
success by the Arizona Kicker and other
influential journals of like character and
has, since the proprietor's departure. been
adopted by the minor Western property of
W. R. Hearst of New York.
THE CALL would not have mentioned
this-indeed, it is with reluctance that
this paper exposes its neighbours short
comings even now-but the Examiner has
taken the opportunity recently to refer to
news matters it failed to publish, and
which did appear in THE CALL, as being
untrue.
The most recent incident occurred yes
terday. The day before there was pub
lished in this paper a very important piece
of evidence against Durrant.
The weak point in the case of the muir
der of Minnie Williams was the absence of
proof of Durrant's motive. The elucida-
ton OF this point was supplied by con-
versation that occurred between Frank A.
Young of Alameda and Minnie Williams
the day before the girls death. Minnie
Williams on that occasion said to Young,
~ know too much about the disappear
ance OF Blanche Lamont" which would,
of course, explain why Durrant wished her
out of the way.
1t was objectionable for a journal pre-
tending to be metropolitan newspaper to
have overlooked SO important an item, so
the Examiner, by way of excuse to its
readers, pronounced the story untrue. 1t
SO happened that the interview referred to
was held In the presence of several wit
nesses, among them E. L. Marshall, editor
of the Alameda Telegram. The accom-
panying letter proves the truth of the in
terview:

And the Judge came in from behind the
scenes, as it were, out of his chamber door,
instead of pushing his way through the
awe-stricken crowd. One familiar face was
that of ex-Juror Seiberlich. He sat over

scene. But only few people could see
him, whereas he once sat high in the box,

different. Here, for instance, was Ben
Napthaly, enjoying prominent seat not

and his nod of recognition hearty, but his
was new face in the crowd. He con-
graduated Mr.. Barnes upon his success in
conducting the great trial and his speech
at the close. Mr.. Barnes said he valued
such words from so high source. They
shook hands and all that. 1t was pleasant
but new.

WHAT POTTER SPENT.
Miller & Lux's Manager Admits That II is
Extravagant Habits Cost Him
$4,000.

During the trial of Jesse Sheldon Potter
in Judge Bucks court at Redwood City a.
day or two ago the prosecution of Potter
on the grounds Of fast and dissolute living
suddenly dropped after consultation be-
tween the attorneys in the case. 1t was
reported at the time that private agree
ment had been made by which Potter
would admit certain of the charges in order
to keep the matter out of the trial and save
his friends.
The following is the solutio of the
matter:
Thursday after noon, Just before court
an1ourned, the prosecution filed supple
mental allegations against Potter, in which
several matters that appeared originally
were dropped, but in which the charge that
Potter had spent sum aggregating in the
neighborhood of 100000 for fast and disso-
lutte living still remained.
Potter's answer to this allegation, which
was filed in court at the same time, prac-
tically admits it's truth by limiting the
amount to a sum not exceeding SIZE, 900.
1t is quite probable, therefore. that
Potter will not be recalled, and that he
will be relieved from the unenviable posi-
ton OF being witness against himself.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-11-09

The court proceeds:
''You were duly informed against by the
District Attorney of this City and County
in an information filed against you in this
court and accusing you of the willful and
malicious murder of Blanche Lamont, a
human being, on the Sd day of April, 1895
To this information and accusation you
interposed the plea of not guilty, where
upon the cause was heard before Jury in
this court. After long and painful trial,
the jury returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree. This is the time fixed for
pronouncing the sentence of the court.
Have you anything to say why the sem
tence should not now be pronounced ?"
Mr.. Dickinson arises and stands beside
Durrant.
"You may sit down." says the court to
the prisoner.
Durrant resumes his chair.

score, but that the commissions he
claimed were for work that had not been
paid for.
They presented a large bill of particu-

names on the delinquent list, among them
Mrs. John Drew for so large a sum as $500
for 1900 cabinets, 200 Paris panels and SIS
big 16x20's.
Williams declared that he was not re-

commissions were due him.
There was no written contract between
