Signs

That

He Is

Guilty of His Crimes.

HIS SLEEP IS NOT PEACEFUL.

Upon Awakening lie Is Self-l'ossessed and Gives No Evidence of Weakening or Acknowledging His Guiit—Partial Examination Held at Which Some Damaging Evidence Is Produced.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.—Theodore Durant keeps his nerve under excellent control. During his walking hours he gives little sign of trepidation, even when undergoing severe ordeals of examination and accusation, His calmness is characterized as cold-blooded by physicians. His slumbers, however, are not so peaceful. Since his incarceration he has not reposed an hour in sleep. When he closes his eyes he invariably becomes the victim of nightmare, and groans and cries in terror. Iiis [jshrieks during the night disturbed all the occupants of the prison and this gave color to the rumor that the murderer had committed suicide. At daybreak yesterday morning he was bathed in cold perspiration.

Those who supposed that after his agonizing dreams he would make a confession, were surprised at his self-po-sessed demeanor after lie had made his careful toilel. Evidently nothing was further from lis mind than to admit his guilt. To an Associated Press reporter he repeated his attorney's caution to make no statement, coupled with a sweeping denial of the charges against him and a renewal of the protestation of iiis innocence. "My attorneys will tell you anything they may think advisable to make known. I hope you will not consider me impolite in refusing to talk of this case with you. I am acting on advice of others and mean no discourtesy."

Subsequently, however, he denied that he had ever seen any of the girls who identified him as the man who had boarded a car with Blanche Lamont when she was last seen alive. "I never saw any of these girls," he said, "and have no recollection of any such meeting with Blanche Lamont as they describe." Tuesday night Durant announced he would not attend the coroner's inquest over the remains of Marian Williams. Yesterday he reconsidered his resolution, and concluded to be present, dressing at the Tequest of the police in garments he had worn on the night Marian Williams is supposed to have been killed. The streets leading to the morgue were densely packed with a morbidly curious crowd. To prevent an attack by the mob Durant was taken from the city hall to the old prison au hour before the tiweset-forthe inquest."

Even at that early hour the crowd was large anu angry. Nothing but the presence of a strong force of policemen, who niingii a wish the mob and suppressed every as.tempt at demonstr? tion, prevented an attack. The greatest bitternesr is everywhere manifested toward Durant and especially by women. Many fashionably attired ladies sought permission to attend the inquest. Durant passed through the throng of people with his head bowed down. His father, who hal preceded the prisoner, came forward and shook hands with his son.

Durant carried into the inquest chamber a book on medical jurisprudence, which he affected to read. He held the book in his left hand, but seldom turned a page. He finally closed it and devoted his attention to the testimony. Police officers described the finding of the body of Miss Williams, its mutilate,1 condition, its disheveled clothing, and the blood-spattered floor on which it lay.

Rev. Dr. G'bson, pastor of Emanuel church, described the position of the remains, and told of the reception late Friday night when Durant appeared late with a flushed face and disarranged clothing. Tiie pastor said Durant was a useful man about the church and was I frequently in the sanctuary when no services were being held.

Frank A. Sadeiinui, the janitor, describes Durant's care of the electrical apparatus, and his peculiar conduct alter Blanche La wont's disappearance, The most sensational testimony of the day, however, was given by Charles H. I Morgan, at whose home in Alameda Miss., Williams resided. lie stated that Durant called at his house and tried to persuade Manan to accompany him to the city as he had something to talk about. She 'cciincd to go, however, ivmacking no could see her at the church reception on Friday night. Morgan-t!mil related how Drsrant had called to see Minnie Sumner and inducvd her to go out with liim. He

took

hor to a secluded spot in Fruit vale and there made abase proposal to her, justitying

by specious arguments based on

his alleged love for hor and promising that by means of his medical knowledge he would be able to save, her from any unpleasant consequences. I

The girl indignantly repulsed him, I and afterward narrated the circumstanc.es to Morgan.

Yesterday afternoon Durant was arraigned in the police court for the murder of Marian Williams. The hearing was set for Monday next.

A squad of police resumed their search

of Emanuel church yesterday afternoon for further traces of .Blanche Lament's murderer. Under a beam in the roof of the church tiie girl's shoes were found. Her school books were discovered secreted between the plaster and framing. The discovery is important, showing that Miss Lamont did not go home from school after her meeting with Durant. Blanche's niis.si.ig glove and a hat pin were also found secreted in the roof.

Police Detective, Anthony has identified Durant as the man who, 18 months ago, took the daughter of an ex-police-man to San Jose and then betrayed her. After returning here Anthony says Durant forced the girl to become an inmate of a disreputable house. The police now believe Durant intended to burn the church and so destroy the evidence of his crimes.
