THE TERRIBLE TYPHOON.,

had been anxious 70 see a typhoon,
writes the author Of Ten Years in Indo-
China and China, and had my wish
gratifetl in Hong Kong more than
once. The strength of the wind
at such times is greater than /
could have thought possible: 1t
whirls ships helplessly adrift from the
4 Armest mornings. and with sudden
blast takes away the corners Of houses
and sends projecting verandas flying
across the street ..- T.,
During the height of the gale the
residents for the most part shut them
selves closely in Their houses, carefully
securing their doors and windows. and
so remain with constant apprehension
and dread, lest the dwelling should be
swept away and themselves be- en-
S:tnmbed in the ruins. s:.:...:
Once, while the storm was at it's
Il worst, ventured down to the Praya
Ito see the crowd of Chinese boats that
N had been blown inshore and piled up
lin mass Of wreck just below the city.
The sky was of dark leaden color and
\ the wind caught up the crested waves
and sent them in long, white streaks
3sof vapor across the scene, through
which the dismantled ships were dimly
deserted drifting from their moorings.
s The heavy, stpne-faced wall of the
h Praya had given way. and the great
granite blocks had been washed in upon
the road. Half-binded by the waves
4 MS they leapt over road and dashed in
angry foam against the houses, and
buffeted by the wind, ! made slow
IS headway to the east end of the settle-
ment, where a number Of foreigners
were attempting to rescue two women
from "a small Chinese boat. sS:
We had to cling to the lamp posts
& and stanchions, and seek shelter against
the doorways and walls. Advantages
was taken OF slight lull in the storm
TO fire off rockets, but these were
driven back like feathers against the
1 houses. Then long life-boats were
dragged to the pier, but the first was
broken and disabled the moment 1t
touched the water, while the second
met like fate and its gallant crew
were pitched ont into the sea.
sS In short, every effort proved abor-
tive, and as darkness set IN the unhap.
BY women and their boat were reluc-

~ Next morning the whole length Of

cussing the case. He was excused on
the challenge for cause by the defendant.
Roman G. de Boom of 634 Golden Gate
avenue had read some of the newspaper
accounts, though he did not remember to
have discussed the case. He could accept
circumstantial evidence and thought per-
sons could be mistaken as to identity. He
had served as a juror in criminal cases,
but had no luminosity against the de-
PENDANT
would you like to be sworn as juror
in this case?" asked Mr.. Deuprey.
Il am not anxious, but am willing to do
my duty"
He believed he could try the case i'm
partially. He was born in Belgium AMI
had lived in San Francisco most of the
past twenty-four years.
There was no challenge for cause, but
Mr.. de Boom was afterward excused on
peremptory challenge by the defense.
John H. Ripe, 2536 Bryant, grocer, said
that he could not, under any circum
stances, join in a verdict of guilty where
the punishment was the death penalty,
and the conviction founded upon circum-
stantial evidence. II would simply refuse
to bring in verdict. The States chal-
lenge for cause, based on sections 1073
1914 and 1918 of the Penal Code, was al
lowed.
Thomas W. Seiberlich, 533 Ellis street,
was again questioned by Mr.. Deuprey.
He said he had not read the evidence
before the Coroner's jury nor the commit
ting magistrate, though he had glanced at
the items or the headlines in the news

Thomas w. Seiberlich, manufacturer, re-

toned as to his qualifications.
"Haye YOU any conscientious scruples

"WouId you weigh circumstantial evil
dence. giving it such weight as it was en-
titled to and, if you thought it sufficient,
would you return upon it verdict OF
guilty?'
Yes, sir; I think so"
The Juror testified that he was not a
member of the Emmanuel Church and not
acquainted with the defendant, Durrant,
nor the organist of the church, George
King. He was then passed to the defense.
"Mr. Seiberlich, have you any acqualnt-
ance with any member OF the detective
force of the City and County OF San Fran

Mr.. Deuprey then questioned closely as
to his acquaintance with the same persons
as 10 whom he had inquired so closely
from Mr.. Helbing, but the witness an
swered that he knew none of them.

Henry Messenberg of S57 Suffer street
had not the slightest scruple. against the
lnfiictlon of the death penalty, and was
passed by the prosecution after very few
questions. In answer to query by Mr.
Deuprey, he stated that he had great faith
IN the value of circumstantial evidence.
although he believed in the liability OF
mistake in the matter OF identification.
He was not particularly acquainted with
any members of the Police Department.
but had formed an opinion on the case,
and very strong one-so fixed one that
1t would require the strongest evidence to
remove it.
I'VE challenge the juror under the pro-
visions Of subdivisions 1 and 2 OF section
1918 OF the Penal Code said Mr.. Deuprey,
particularly in this, that his testimony
has ELECTED the fact that he is possessed of
an opinion that would take testimony OF
the strongest kind to remove"
In support of his opinion, Mr.. Deuprey
read several authorities of the Supreme
Court of the State of Washington, but the
court overruled the challenge. Assistant
District Attorney Peixotto then took the
juror.
IF you were sworn in the case as a
juror" he asked, do you feel that you
would and could try the case and make up
your verdict simply and solely according
to the evidence as you would hear 1t In
court and the law as given you by the
