SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-The proseou-
ton in the case of Durrant announced to-
day that its witnesses would he through
with direct examination next Wednesday.
The crowd at the trial yesterday exceeded
In size that of any previous day since the
case opened.
George King, the organist, was called
for further cross examination. After a
few unimportant questions from the op-
posing attorneys King was excused, to the
surprise Of all, it having been expected
that the prosecution would interrogate
closely upon the alleged variation in his
statements concerning Durrant made at
different times.
Frank o. Sidemann, formerly janitor at
the church, testified that on April g. the
day Blanche Lamont disappeared the gas
fixtures were in perfect order.
Adolph Oppenheim, a pawnbroker, tes-
titled that on April Durrant came to his
store and offered for sale a ring with a
small chip diamond. The witness selected
a ring from those identified as belonging
to Blanche Lamont, and said that was the
ring offered him by Durrant. He had de-
clined to purchase it, and Durrant had
taken it away with him.
The witness stated that since testfying
at the preliminary examination he had re-
ceived two letters Offering him bribes to
modify his testimony. One of the letters
offered him $500 on condition that he
stated on the stand that he could not posi-
lively identify Durrant. He was not to
see any one in connection with the bribe
until after he had given his testimony,
when the money would be paid to him.
The second letter was of similar charac-
ter The witness said he had turned both
letters over to the police.
Oppenheim was still on the stand when
the court adjourned until Monday.

In % recent letter to the manufacturers Mr.
W. i. Benjamin, editor of the Spectator
Rushford, n. ", says 1T may be a pleas
ure to you to know the high esteem in which
Chmherlaius medicines are held by the
people of your own state, where they must
be best known. An aunt of mine, who re-
sides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me
q few years since, and before leaving home
wrote me, asking if they were sold here,
stating If they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like to be
without them.n The medicines referred to
are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous
for its cures of colds and Group Chamber
laiu's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back,
pains ina the side and chest, and Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diawhoea Remedy
for bowel complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use I'm Iowa for almost @
quarter of a century. The people have
learned that they are articles of great worth
and merit and naquaIod by any other.
They are for sale here by Guhlyr Bros,
