body lay. Durrant accompanied them.
He stood in the little room where
Minnie Williams was choked and
gashed to death, and he passed UP
the narrow staircase through which
he had dragged the body of Miss La
mont. but in that trying ordeal his
nerve and assurance did not desert
him. He even smiled as he brushed
from his neat clothes the dust and
cobwebs which touched him in the
belfry.
A model of the church was used in
evidence in court. A French doll
with movable joints was also one of
the legal exhibits. The witnesses
used it to illustrate the position in
which the body had been found. Then
there was lay figure on which they
hung the dead girls clothes, so that
those who had seen her pass towards
her death in the church but who did
not know her by sight might refresh
their memory as to her appearance.
Her rings, slippers, her prayer-book,
hat and glove lay on the prosecutors
table, and they all did their part in
weaving round Durrant the meshes of
evidence that he was a cold-blooded
assassin.
The defense pinned its faith upon
the absence of any one who had seen
the prisoner kill the girl, and in the
'ibi of the Cooper medical college
Not one of the seventy students who
attended DR.. Cheney's lecture on the
afternoon of April could say that he
saw Durrant there, but his name was
On the roll-call, and great emphasis
was laid on that fact. 1t was proved
however, that the same roll contained
the name of at least one man who
wasn't anywhere near the .eo1ure
room. Then the defense threw out
vague hints that perhaps Parson Glib.
son knew sometime about the king,
but this entirely fell through, and was
simply a case of little mud-raising
to covere retreat.
The women of San Francisco were
much wrought up by the trial, and
many threats were made to kill Dur
rant. Large crowds attended the
court house, and they grew so violent
in their demonstrations against the
prisoner that at times it was hard to
control them. Durrant was finally
executed.
