the girl disappeared This was an inn
portant piece of the circumstantial evil
dence on which he was convicted.
But the mystery Of the disappearance
of Miss Lamont was not solved until
after the murder of Minnie Williams
and although the murderer was not
tried for the latter crime, the two awful
occurrences are 100 closely linked to-
gether to be separated
Nine days after the Lamont girl dis
appeared Durrant and Miss Williams
were both expected st a meeting of the
Christian Endeavor Society OF the
church, which took place at the resi-
dence of a member of the congregation
Durrant came late, and with disordered
appearance. Miss Williams did not
come. DTrant said he did not know
where the young lady had gone.
The next morning the murderer went
out of the city on a scientific expedition,
and one of the young lady members of
the church undertook to show a strang-
ear the library which Durrant had ar
ranged. There to their horror, they
found the body of Miss Williams lying
in the chamber with evidences of hav-
ing been choked. Portions of her dress
were torn off and stuffed into the mouth
of the young woman, being secured
there by means of a short stick driven
through the tongue. Her hands were
nearly severed from the wrists, and
she had been stabbed through the heart
with a knife that had broken into two
or three pieces, one of them remaining
in the member. Durrant was arrested,
and, as in Miss Lamont's case-which
was afterward shown--it was stated
that he and Miss Williams had been
seen standing in the gaslight near the
church on the evening when both We're
to attend the meeting of the Christian
Endeavor Society
The theory was that after going alone
to the meeting, Durrant returned, fear
ing that his ghastly work had not been
completed, and, entering the church,
took one Of the silver knives used for
social entertainments, and added the
stabbing to the choking, which he had
done before going to the gathering. The
theory went further in ascribing the
murder of Miss Williams to the fear
that she might tell what she knew of
the disappearance of Miss Lamont.
With the discovery of Miss williams
body as stated above, the detectives at
once set about in the search for that of
MISS Lamont, and they found it in the
| steeple.
One of the theories advanced to ex-
plain the motive in the Lamont murder
IS that Durrant, being medical stu
dent, might have wished to get a sub
Ject FOR dissecting purposes.

II is freely predicted by those In n

diction Is based on the fact that he has

Of the public questions which interest

his intention to stand by. That is ono
reason why the people are so enthusi-
astic in their support Of Governor
Leedy and their associates. They
have never hesitated to tell the people
whom they serve and just where they
stand on all public questions and have
firmly adhered to their views There
has never been any attempt at decep'

Fletcher Meredith Of the Hutchinson
Herald, is openly against Long and
Stanley. He says that he Is against
Long because he advocates principles
that he does not believe in and because
he has been the moving spirit in all
kinds of needless and unr OcessNry
rows He is against Stanley because
he is masquerading before the people
OF the state pretending to be for prln-
ciples which he does not represent and
that on nearly every proposition he
carries water on both shoulders. This
is especially true of his position on the
prohibitory question. He also alleges
that Stanley is making pledges which
he has no intention whatever Of full
filing and that he is generally an UNI
safe man, He also opposes him be-
cause he represents the gang and ia
very intimately connected with tho
machine. Mr.. Meredith is not the
only republican who takes this view
of the republican nominee for gov
ernor.
