A TERRIBLE ARRAIGNMENT

in the Building*.
San Francisco, October 24:—The
prosecution havebeen making
koles in Durrent's case. Miss Carrie
Cunningham, the reporter, watt alleges
that she got a statement regarding' the
body in the belfry from Durrant, was
questioned about the envelopes shown
her by Durrant on which she says was
Written a request that it should not be
°reflect except on his conviction; but
ker testimony concerning- it was not
allowed,
Miss Cunningham said the had inter-
viewed Durrant on October a, and the
_District Attorney asked her ;—" In the
eourse of that interview did he say to
you, When I Was fixing the sunburn -
era I heard a noise and followed it to
the belfry and saw her on the second
landing. She was murdered on the see -
end landing ?' "
"Yes, he made that statement to
e."
" About whom were you speaking ?"
" Blanche Lamont."
Mr. Barnes the read from Durrant's
testimony in which he said that such
a story had been brought to him and
that he had refused to either affirm
or deny it, and had told Miss Cunning-
ham that such a story, if published,
'would get him into trouble and that
he had sworn her to secrecy,
"Did anything of that kind take
piece ?"
Miss Cunningham replied :---" I gave
a note to Mr. Durrant asking him to
please give me the whole story and. I
promised I would be a. witness for him
and tell his story on the stand. He
said, Will you promise me not to tell
this story ?' He said I was not to tell
anyone without his consent, I told
him It was a good newspaper story,
and he asked me not to publish it
without his consent and I told him I
would not."
"Did you say to him in an interview
you had on October 6, Are you sure
it was the second landing where you
saw Blanche killed ?' Is not that a
little to one side of the gallery ?' "
"Excuse me," said the witness, "he
did not tell me he saw her killed."
Mr. Barnes then reframed his ques-
tion. "And did Durrant not reply,
No, you ca.n look directly into it ?'
Did you then say, 'Oh, yes, it was on
the second landing where the
blood fell on the covered pic-
ture -frame ' ? Did he then re-
ply' that there was not any
blood at all and that the spots had
been analyzed and found to be only
water ? Did such a conversation take
place ?"
"Such a conversation took place. It
was not exactly as you stated. Those
were not his words about the blood.
With that exception it is correct."
Miss Cunningham was cross-examin-
ed at some length without making any
change or modification in her testi-
mony.
Dr. K. H. Mayes, fatten the Insane
Asylum at Stockton, gave testimony
as to hallucination, which showed
that the old ladlewho said they saw
Durrant on the way to churca were
probably not victims of it. He was
questioned as to the effects of gas on
a person working over the sunburn -
ors. as Durrant said he was. He said
that a man to have worked over the
burners two minutes would have been
insensible. He also said gas, instead
of making a person inhaling it pale,
would flush him. He was asked if, af-
ter inhaling the gas, a man could have
taken down a 50 -foot ladder and. de-
scend to the lower floor, but the ques-
tian was ruled out, as was one asking
for th.e witness' opinion as to the ap-
pearance of a person after having
committed a murder. The witness fur-
ther teatified that the removal of a.
person to the fresh air after having
been subjected to gas would not cause
a revival in the time it is alleged to
have done in Durrant's ease.
Dr. Rosenstein, another expert, cor-
roborated Dr. Mayes' testimony.
The following is the address in part
of District Attorney Peixotto for the
prosecution in the Durrant case:—"We
recognize the validity of the contention
of the counsel for the defendant that
the burden of proof is on the State.
The State must establish by proof suffi-
cient to satisfy a „Jury of reasonable,
sensible: men the truth of the charge.
It is true that we have proved the guilt
of this defendant largely by circum-
stantial evidence. But we have prov-
ed the corpus delicti by direct evidence.
That is to say, that Blanche Lamont
Is dea,c1; that the dead body discovered
in the belfry of the Einmanuel Baptist
Church was hers. On this there has
been no controversy, and there cannot
be any. We are prepared to answer
the queries of counsel for the defence
as to where, when and how the deceas-
ed met her death, and also to say what
the motive for the crime was. Where?
We answer in the Emmanuel Baptist
Church. When ? Between 4,30 and 5
o'clock in the afternoon of the fatal
April 3. Who caused it? Theodore Dur-
rant. How was it caused ? By strang-
ulation. The fingers of this same Due -
rant were clasped tightly araund the
, innocent throat of the victim. and her
, young life was crushed out, What was
, the motive ? An ungovernable passion,
:that same passion that has ruled the
'World, made nations totter and decay,
land broughten frothe noblest
heights of ambition mfrom the
to degradation. It
was the same motive that made certain
:of the Cee.sars infamous, that made
Nero, Tiberius and Caracalla, delight

tered before their eyes; the same mot-
ive that made such a monster possible

and said that "sin has many tools, but
a he is the handle that fits them all."
When the defendant had committed the
greatest sin in the whole category he
psea the handle. He described the

er. The presence of the body in the
tetanal showed that the girl was in the

London, Oct. 24.—The Standard says
that the Pope bas communicated to sev-
eral Cardinals another letter to the
English regarding' their veturn to the
Church of Rome. It is believed that
the objection urged against the former
letter will be combatted with studied
moderation, that explanations will be
given and that all coneessions possible
will be Made by his Holiness. The Pope
has invited to visit, Rome In the next
few months several Italian and foreign
Cardinals to consult upon various ques-
tions, It is believed he is preparing
the way for an ecumenical council to
pronounce upon the question of his tem-
poval power as an article of faith.
A despatch from Malaga says that
Martha Beeson, whose husband, a not-
ed musical instrument maker of London
and New York, secured a warrant for
her arrest* on the charge of having
stolen $35,000 and taken away their
daughter, has been taken into custody
there.
The Marquis of Dufferin, the Brit-
ish Ambassador to France, whose re-
signation of the post. of Lord Warden
of the Cinque Ports was recently an-
nounced, explains, as the reason of his
resignation, that as on the conclusion
of his diplomatic career next summer
he proposes to reside almost continu-
ously in Ireland, he felt that he would
be precluded from discharging accept-
ably the duties of the Lord Warden.
Therefore, as a matter of conscience,
he meat retire from the position. Lord
Dufferin's residence is at Clandeboye,
County Down, Ireland.

Vengeance Wreaked on the Voting

Torture --Commission or Control.
London, Oct. 24.—The Chronicle's Con-
stantinople correspondent telegvaphs
that more arrests have been made of
members of the Young Turkish party.
He adds that the most brutal measures
are being adopted tor the suppression
of the revolutionary movement. The
Government officials slate the Moslem
lawyer Izzet, who was arrested on the
charge of being the author of an incen-
diary placard that was recently posted
about the city. and who was said to
have died in pi•ison. is still alive.
The Daily News says that Sir Phil-
ip Currie, the British Ambassador to
Turkey, has urgently requested the
Westminster Committee for further aid
for the inhabitants of Sassoun.
The Standard publishes a despatch
from Constantinople saying that most
sinister stories are abroad regarding
the vengeance wrecked on the Young
Turkish party. Various versions are
given asato what ha -peened to Tzzet af-
ter his arrest. but i1 is certain that he
was severely tortured in the Yildiz
prison before he was removed to the
:Best-di:tacit arisen, where he was mer-
cilessly 'beaten on the stomach with
clubs in the presence of many wit-
nesses. He was then sent back to the

The Suttee's recent vigor has taken the

to the Armenians. the despatch says
that the new scheme nt' reform is mere-

has been systematically ignored in the

last, has been traversece to the Spring
AesizeS. The matter did not come before
the court to -day mita after the noon
adjournment, when Mr. 43. B. Osier;
foe the prisoner. stated that he hail
procured further affiaav its. in aaeord-
ance with the request of the court.
Before reading them, however, he re,
marked that yesterday as Soon as the
defence had disclosed the name of
tt eh witness, John Pawlitzsid, from
whom. Kurthinski bought the cloth,
the Crown had sant after hita awl
brought him to Berlin elect secured an
affidavit from him in the mattea
that affidavit was produeed and Mee
be would ask the privilege of cross-ex-
amining the men in open enure that is
if his Lordship placea sufficient import-
ance in his affidavit. Proceeding, Mr.
Oslee read an affidavit from Jahanno,
Pawlitzeki, John Pawatzakas wife, la
which she swore that she owned the
cloth in the fall ot 1894, that it had
stains on it similar to those now on the
Piece, and that when Kurchinski took
it she tem iihn that if his wife found
i1 too badly marked to be able to use
it she could return It. Caroline Spring-
er, a talloress, hiving in Kossuth,, put
in an affidavit; to the effect that she
was employed by Mrs. Kurchinski in
the fall of last year to make up some
garments from the cloth in question,
that the piece was badly stained itha
epotted, and that she had to cup up the
cloth a great deal to get enough ma-
terial for the purpose and avoid the
spots. Upon this clecument Mr. Oster
asked for a postponement of the trial.
He very much regretted the necessity,
he said, but the matter had to be fur-
ther investigated and the spots analYa-
ed, ete. It would take days to. do this
and it would be impossible to hava,
the evidence ready for this court, His
client was placed in a most unfortun-
ate posttinn, as he had to lie in jail
In the meantime, but that could not be
helped, Further. the learned counsel
asked that the garments, clothes or any
other articles upon which there were
suspected blood stains be placed in
the custeay of some responsible per -
sae to take charge of in the iatereste
of both the prisoner and the. Crown.
Mr. Johnston, replying to Mr. Os-
ter's remarks, said that the argument
he had advanced yesterday against the
motion applied with erten t force still.
and as to the fresh affidavits he would
point out that sufficientdistinction
was not drawn therein between the
nie lathe stains' made in the manufac-
ture or the cloth and the alleged blood-
stains. The Crown counsel then t•ead
Ichn Pawlitzskas affidavit, which
proved to be along the lines stated In
these despatches yestercla.y, viz., that
ellen he snal the pinta in September.
.894, there were no bloodstains oe marks
thereon similar to those on the pants
('rd cloth now produced. Continuing
Mr. Johnston said that the matter was
ta course at his Lordship's diseeetiese
and if be thought it would prejudice
the prisoner's case to proveed the
Crown would not press for the trial to
go on. At the same time the .Crown
had a duty to perform in the matter
in urging that the affidavits cad not
liselose atalicieet cause for such de-
lay.
, Judge, Robertson said it was a very'.
grave matter to decide, and for his
own part he had a very strong opinion
thereon. Two witnesses had been
found to swear that the stains had
been there right along, but he must
say it was a most extraordinary thing,
that prisoner's wife and others, know-
ing the Crown had the matter under in-
quiry, ha.d said teething about it until
now. Still on the principle that it was
better that ten guilty men shourd go
unpunished than that one innocent man
should unjustly suffer, he would orate.
a postponement of the trial until the
next Assize. Some discussion then
arose as to the custody of The Mottles,
cloth, etc., and finally, on the suggest -
len of Mr. Osier. they were placed in
the custody of Provincial Detective
William Greer, in whom both sides ex-
preesed complete confidence. •
After the ease had been disposed of
the prisoner's tamily had an interview
with him in the jail. The meeting
was a very pathetic one, all the prin-
cipals being deeply affected. Kurschin-
ski himself wase not at all pleesed at
the postponement; he even declared
thathe would sooner die than *have the
case drag, over and have to lie in jail
another six months. The Crown, on
the other hand. Is not at all dissatisfied
at the delay, feeling that the matter
baying once been raised it is far better
to have it definitely cleared up than Lo
leave any suspicion of doubt.
The forenoon was taken up with' the
trial of T-Tenry Oppertsheiser for rape,
which began yesterday. The jury wa.s
out nen rly five hours, and at 6 o'clock

Two :married ladies were talking about

"Does your husband forget things?"
asked One.
"Never," said the other.
"Well, mine does. I think there is hard-
ly a day when he comes home from his
office that he doesn't forget to apologize
for his forgetfulnesa Or course. I have
to ;tempt the apology on his promise to
do better, and the next day the very same
thing occurs. .
"That must be extremely annoying."
"It is. Sometimes I get so vexed with
him that I really have to scold him."
"And that never is pleasant."
"I should say not. I'd rather be any-
thing else than a scold, but, some hus-
bands actually drive their wives to it.
I've been married ten years and some-
times I almost fear if he doesn't impaove

"I've been married a dozen years and
I never have ally such trouble."
"Maybe your husabnd is au exception."
"No; he's only average as married men
go." .
"Wasn't he ever forgetful?"
He was at first, but I cured him of it. ' '
"Gracious, I thought it was incurable."

Story of Restoration from Se veva
Nervous Prostration,.
When disease that affeete the nervous
system takes hold of one, physicians have '
a ease that very ol'ten entirely baffles
them. The one who thus suffers, unless
relief is speedily obtained,quickly becomes
meat for the daties of life. Nervous pros- ,
tration is a disease on which so many
other diseases build. Indigestion ahnoste
certainly goes with it. Disease of the kid-
neys is sere to be a coneamitant. General I
debility, in its many agonizing forme, is i
naturally a part of nervoua prostration.
One of the worst cases of the kind. that
has been known in Canada was that of
Mr, Thomas Martin, of Oshawa, Ont. lie
had been a sufferer from nervousness for
over two years, to the extent that he was
at short intervals taken with nervous
spasms, that altogether unmanned hisn.
His suffering was intense; he could, not
sleep or even sit in a chair. The distress-
ing feeling that accompanied the disease
was terrible. "All this," seld he, "was
my lot for over two years, 1 lied been
treated by several doctors Ill my own
town. I did not stop here, Mit callea in
the skill of leading Toronto Ouse:dates.
Patent medicines almost innumerable
ware tried, but I got nothing more than
temporary relief, and very temporary as
that. I saw South American Norville ad-
vertised as a medicine specially strong in
ouring nervous troubles, and I Bemired a
bottle. I must confess that I obtained.
very great relief from the first bottle, anti
I have not had an attack of the nervous
spasms since, now some months ago;
whereas before using this medicine I used
to have three or four attacks a day. Feel-
ing so much relief from the first bottle
I thought I would give this medicine a
fair trial. I have used in all six bottles,
and 1 feel perfectly satisfied that the ner-
vous spasms have left my system for good,
as I have not had one for some months. I
can safely recommend South American
Nervine to any who suffer from nervous-
ness, as I am sum it will cure them, as it
has cured me."
The story is worth repeating, that the
virtue of South American Nervine is in
the fact that it immediately strikes at the
nerve centres, from whith come all forms
of disease It heals there, and in doing so
removes the disease, whatever part of the
system is rattaoked. Nervousness, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, sick headache, general
debility, are all troubles that eautish
quickly when this great:discovery is used.
It not only cures the disease but it is one
of the greatest flesh madames that has
ever been discovered, and will in a short
time add flesh to those who have been
dragged down low through sickness of
any kind. Sold by your 'local druggist.
Oil and Gas Stoves in Sleeping !looms.
Oil stoves ana fats stoves should never
be kept burning in a sleeping room for,
having no connection with a chimney
flue they throw poisonous carbonic oxide
into the air of the apartment and make
it unfit for respiration. An oil I amp, left
burning all night, is baa enough, but an
oil stove is worse.

Dodd's Kianey Pills.
Richinond, Ont., Oct. 21.—This not very
distant suburb of the Canadian capital
has been highly wrought up during the,
past few days over the. recovery of a well-
known business man here, Mr. J. Mc-
Carthy, who being declared to be in an.
advanced stage of Bright's disease of the
kidneys, had been given up to die.
Curious to know the paraculars of a
case creating so much local interest your
sorreepondent made Nude to call and in-
troduce himself to Mr. McCarthy, and
found him in his shop and 'willing to talk.'
of his case.
"I have called to see Mr. MoOarehy; are
you that gentleman?"
"Yes, sir," said be, "what can Edo for
you?"
"Hearing that there was something
very unusual about your recoverf from a
seemingly fatal illness I have called to
learn the facts," said I.
"Well, sir," replied he, "'lam never too
busy to talk abnut my doctor, I mean
Dodd's .Kidney Pills, for,with the blessing
of God, they have saved my life."
"Is it true that you bad been given up
to die, and that your doctors both named
your trouble Bright's disease?" asked. I.
"Yes, sir," he answered, "although ail-
ing for some time it was only about seven
months ago that my case became serious.
After doctoring here and in Ottawa about
four months I had ho dose my shop fear-
ing that I must die of Bright's disease,
"About ten weekago Mr. ItileCord, a
farmer living out near here, advisect me
to use Dodd's Kidney Pills as lilies, had
cured him of diabetes, and so I commene-
ed. After using Elko boxes all dietress
teft me. I have used twelve boxes in all;
have just reamenect my shop and e.spect
to do business at the old stand for some
years yet, as I am just coming 50 years of
age. There is no use trying, to describe
iny sufferings. You. can understand when
toll you that my weight ran down from
1(35 to 120 pounds, I am nearly up to my
own weight, lint feel as well as ever in
my life, and I am perfectly cured."
Ikeld's Kidney Pills is the eille medi-
cine ever known to cure Bright's disease.
