SAN Francisco, April 25.-The pre-.
limlnary examination of Theodore
Durrant for the murder OF Minnie
Williams was resumed this morning.
Rev. John George Gibson was again
on the stand. The cross examination
by Attorney Dickinson for Durrant
plainly indicated the intention of the
defense to try t. saddle the murder
upon the min ,ter.
The day preceding the finding OF
the body Of Blanchc,Lamont, her aunt
received a paper containing the rings
OF Blanche. On the pupcr were writ.
ten the names, George Il. King and
Professor Schernstern, as il to throw
suspicion on them. Dickinson made
Gibson write these amc lie com.
piled, but asked twice how to spell
Schernstern's name.
The parson was II good witness, cool
and collected. Tho defense elected
nothing tangible against him. His
examination is now concluded.
Albert o. McElroy. aged Is years,
testified that on Friday evening, April
18th. he saw a man resembling Dur
rant waiting at the corner OF Bartlett
and Twenty.second streets. 4 young
woman come along, and tho man ap.
preached her and tried tn shield her
from the witness with his shoulders.
The pair went toward the church and
stood in front OF tho gate. Then the
witness crossed the lot back OF the
church, and noticed II light in The
building. 1t moved from window to
window on the ground floor.
Bert MINER, who was with Nc
Elroy ut tho time, corroboratcd the
latter's testimony.

Mixed UpAna,r.

The arrest OF SherifIs Kavanaugh
and Wright, the former Of Platt
county. Nebraska, and the latter OF
Weber county, Utah, and their deten-
ton by the Lander county authorities
promises to lead to some nvely COM
plications between Nevada, Utah and
Nebraska. Michael Lamb, the pris-
ouer who is the cause OF all the
trouble, is still in the county jail here
under commitment OF Justice Rougon.
For some unaccountable reason the
Lander officers want him also. they
claiming TINT he had been committed
to the Lander Jail before Sheriff Kav-
anaugh brought him here. Whether
this is true or not, another iangle Is
imminent between Humboldt and
Lander. The officers OF the latter
county will probably sue out II writ
OF habeas corpus for possession of.the
prisoner.
The two sheriiTs were bound over
by tho Battle Mountain justice on
four charges cach-kidnapping, i'm
personating officers OF this State, OBJ
structing the process Of a court, and
rcscuing n prisoner. Sheriff Easton
OF Lander county took them in charge
and it is rumored will bring them to
Winnemucca to-day and possibly take
them to Carson. They would have nor
trouble in furnishing bonds here.
1t is also thought that Judge Cheney
will be here tomorrow, and that pro.
ceedings will be instituted before him
for the release Of Lamb.
The cas- is badly mixed up and
there are so many stories atloat that
it is difficult to ascertain the facts.
1t is claimed on one side that Shcr-
# Kavanaugh took Lamb forcibly
away from the Battle Mountain oil.
GER, saying he had the State of Ne.
braska at his back and Nevada could
go to sheol. II this be true he is like.
ly to have trouble for acting so hasti.
ly. On the other side il is claimed
that the sheriff did not think he was
violating the law-if he did-and
finding the prisoner for whom he had
come so far in company OF an intoxi.
Gated officer, and being informed that
such had been the state Of affairs for
three or four days, naturally wished
to make sure OF his prisoner and so
brought him here for safe Keeping

SAN FRsNclsoo, 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 rvo
but otherwise appeared cool. The
court oom was packed by the same
crowd that attended yesterdays pro.
ccedings, with q number Of new faces
added.
Tho first witness was Harry Part.
ridge, a classmate OF Durrant's at
Cooper's Medical College. Partridge
testified that he answered to Dur
rants name at roll call at ono OF the
clinics on April Sth. Durrant not
being present to answer for him.
self. April sth 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
liams.
Chas. A. Dukes, another student
testified that he saw Durrant at the
ferry on the afternoon of the 10Th
instant, and III conversation with the
prisoner he asked him to answer roll
call at the clinic the next day rs
Durrant would be absent on n trip to
Mt. Diablo with the signal corps.
Durrunt said that he was at the ferry
to see some comrades OF the signal
corps.
Clarence Dodge, also a student,
who accompanied Dukes, gave cor
roborative evidence Of the meeting
with Durrant Mt the ferry.
Emma Struven, Il young girl, was
next introduced to prove that on the
Friday on which Miss Williams was
murdered, Durrant occosted witness
and two girl companions near the
church between 9 and 9:i5. The wit
ness said that she did not get a good
look at the mans face, but he looked
like Durrant from the back. The
cross.cNamination failed to shake her
testimony.
Miss Lucille Turner was the next
witness. She said che had known
Durrant about n year. Durrant had
walked homo from Emanuel church
with her. Durrant had spoken to
her i'll words not those OF n gentle.
man, and asked her to undergo IN en-
animation, and that Durrant suggest
ell n quiet place i'll 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 saidshe treated Durrant as il
nothing OF the kind had taken place
because she did not wish "a GOODNESS
to attract remarks. She said Dur
