IOLECTURE FOR DURRANT
Mrs. John Martin to Take the
Platform Next
Week.
She Wanted to Inspect the Emmanuel
Church B lfry in Order to
Be Well Posted.

Mrs. John Martin has signi6ed her in
behalf of Theodore Durrant. When at
the Emmanuel Church last Sunday she
asked P. d. Code, the superintendent OF
the Sunday-school, to allow her to in
spect the library and the belfry where the
murders were committed. Superintend-
ent Code, however. refused her permits
sion. She explained as the reason for her
request that she intended to deliver pub
lie lecture on the Durrant case next week,
and wished to be thoroughly posted. In
her quest of information, Mrs. Martin has
also addressed Pastor Gibson, Miss Daisy
Wolfe and others.
DR.. Gibson has made no statement re-
Gently in reference to his intention to re-
ID aiming with or leaving Emmanuel
Church. Secretary Lynch, who arrived
from the East few days ago, does not
have 10 return until late in the fall, and
he has declared his intention of remain
ing as long as DR.. q bson needs him. So
the pastor may indefinitely postpone his
resignation.
Governor Budd will be busy oil day con-
ferring with Durrant's attorneys. He will
probably render his decision on the Pc
tition for comm utation of sentence on
Thursday, or Friday 1.-the latest. At the
same time he will give his decision in the
Worden case.
Captain Lees is not seeking Governor
Budd in the matter, but is willing to
afford him any information in his power.
He Is perfectly satisfied to rest on the
official record Of the case.

alike, as is alleged TO be the case with
some OF the words in the Will.
II shall permit no more time to be
wasted in experiments in this case, Mr..
Wheeler said Judge Slack. with an
emphasis and positiveness of tone that left
no room Tor an argument on the subject.
GumDel was allowed to run loose over
the will from this point on to the nour OF
adjournment. He devoted most of his
time to picking ont additional words
which, he claimed, had either been
pieced, retouched or traced. A good deal
OF it was going over old ground, and in all
was so dull and uninteresting that the
lobby was soon deserted, and only those
whose business kept them in the court
room remained to see the show out.
There was but one little stir of life be-
fore the curtain fell, and that was an
other collision between Gumpel and his
Nemesis, Foote.
The expert was demon strating again on
the black board, when Mr.. Foote discoy-
cred that the chalk copy of Fairs writing
was far from resembling the original.
Look hereV' said the attorney. do
you mean to say that you have made an
honest copy Of those words?"
mo. was only ustrating-thats
ALL REPLIED Gumpel.
''Illustrating--eh? Are you not trying
to fool somebody"
II couldn't fool you," said Gumpel.
mo; you bet you couldn't But you
might fool the jury. What I want to
know Is what you did that for ?"
"Oh, it was just careessness," replied
the expert rather abashed.
80 it's carelessness now, is it?" said
the attorney sarcastically. well, has
there been any carelessness about your
other experiments here?"
Gumpel pleaded that there had NOT, and
then he was released from his uncom-

THE WRONG MAN
THROWN IN JAIL
Policeman Rob- Alters a
Warrant to Fit the
Case.
Manuel Casin Arrested Instead
of Muchly Wanted Manuel
Casino.
The Mistake Discovered in Judge
Lows Court After Casin Spent
a Night in Jail.

Miss Gregoria Velasco, a dumpy-
Mexican belle from the quarters where
tamales are made, is hot on the trail OF
one Manuel Casino, whom she accuses of
beiraying her. She caused warrant to
be issued for his arrest last week, and the
document was placed in the hands of Po-
liceman F. w. Robl for service
Ali this was regular enough in its way
if the policeman had known and attended
strictly to business; but as he did not
there is great gnashing of teeth and there
is a likelihood OF lone of the finest" los
ing his star.
The story of this unfortunate affair came
out yesterday morning in Judge Low
court when Manuel Casin was called
from the prisoners dock to answer tn Q
charge of betrayal.
Casin is an arissoc-atic Spaniard. and
factor in Central American politics.
After being arrested Monday afternoon on
Montgomery street he was stripped al the
police station of all his jewelry and
money, the value OF which would have
amply paid his bail excepting the red.tape
regulations prohibiting such transactions.
AS q consequence Casin. unable TO COM
municate with his friends, remained in
fronted with his accusers in the morning
in Judge Lows court.
Miss Gregoria Velasco and Manuel
Casin, her alleged beirayer, gazed upon
each other with positive amazenent.
II don't know that woman" asserted
Casin.
"That is not Cassino," declared the
woman.
Judge Low was at loss to know what
to do until he listened to Policeman Robi,s
tale.
He had been intrusted with warrant
for the arrest OF Manuel Casino. and
Manuel Casin had been pointed out to
i'm on Montgomery street The dis
crepancy in the name, according to the
officer was but clerical error, so he used
the rubber at the end of his pencil to cor.
middle and an to- at the end of the name
Casino"
This case is dismissed Judge Low
ordered. "Officer, you have arrested the
wrong man."
The case will not be allowed to rest there,
however, ii the proud Spaniard has his
say. He claims that there is a conspiracy
a ainst him. OF only by the Pc ice Court
practitioners, but by men higher in the lad
der OF the Bar Association, and he does
aoi propose to grow Very mucn Older be-
tore he opens up with direct accu ions.
II am not very much asioni,he al tn s
contr etemps," Casin statet yesterday
afternoon. II have been pursued ty vii
iains OF every type and have paid them
$4,000 on one pretext or another in the
past III ee years. A few days ayo / paid
out $3.50 in one of these blackm ailing ases

10 Offers Win Their Fight to Be Reoog-

This City.
The metal roofers of this City have won
their hight to have their trade recognized

They have always contended that without

from fire is greatly enhanced. At the
suggestion of Supervisor Britt the Fire
Department Committee of the board de-
cided yesterday to recommend that Sec
ton 20, subdivision of the fire ordinance
lie amended to read as follows:

within the fire limits and the roofs of all brick
and stone buildings hereafter Ell ected within
the City and County of San Francisco shall be
covered with either metal, slate, tiles, terra
Gotta or asphaltum laid over felt provided,
however, that said asphaltum and felt shall
be laid over a surface OF either sheet asbestos
al least one-sixteenth of an inch thick or
other freproof material, and shall in addi-
ton, be covered with at least three quarters of
an inch of gravel screened through a screen
the meshes OF which shall not exceed a half
inch square, to protect said roofs of buildings
from fire.

The Camera club connected with the
Y. NJ. c. A. scored success Monday even
ing in their exhibition of slides in Union
hall. They had secured 20 pictures of the
Boston Camera club, largely of White
Mountain scenery. Prof Crawford and
Photographer Blake talked of them to the
audience, the first as to the places in which
the pictures were taken, and the latter of
the good and poor points of the pictures
themselves from an artistic point of view.
The club secured Rev. George W. Perry of
Chester, Vermont state geologist, to bring
his own lantern and use it, which he did
with excellent success. After the New
Hampshire views were shown Mr.. Perry
suggested that we in Vermont need not
feel ashamed of our scenery, and threw
number of his own pictures of Vermont
scenery upon the screen. The unanimous
verdict of the audience was that Mr.. Per
RVS pictures were superior to the Boston
collection, either from the artistic stand
point, or as far as scenery was concerned.
The evening was much enjoyed by the audi
ence of about 200people. President S. W.
Wilder, jr., of the Camera club is TO be
congratulated upon his success, and we I'M
derstand it is his intention to follow this
up by more extensive exhibitions later
