knee?, pale and nervous, and who in answer to his questions, declaicd he had been repairing the electric wires— that some gas had escaped in the roof, and that he wes nauseated. We have therefore, Durrant's assertion that he did not meet Miss Lamont—and which his counsel are endeavoring to substan tiate by proving he attended a medi cal lecture up to 3.45, thus making it simply impossible for him to have reached the church and committed a foul deed, such as must have been committed, in so few minutes before he heard King practising music down s'airs, and the statement of three young ladies who saw Miss Lamont board the car, school books in hand, and in his society. The gap will have to be bridged over somehow. Further, and as illustrative of the nerve, or innocence, of Durrant, he called upon the girl's aunt two days after her dis appearance, was noised abroad aod loft a copy of " Newcomes" and hoped everything would turn out all right; besides which the poor girl's little bits of jewellery were returned to the aunt some eight or nine days after wrapped in a piece of newspaper and addressed in a disguised hand which some profess to claim is more than like Durrant's.

Tha evidence in Minnie Williams' case is more emphatic. Durrant says he had not seen her for some three weeks before the murder. Mr Morgan, Minnie's employer and friend, swears Durrant called over to see her at Alameda a few days before her death, and two young ladies corroborate the fact that Durrant was in Alarneda at a time he claims he was absent. A detective and two fellow-students swear Durrant was waiting about at the Pan Francisco ferry depot on Friday after noon at the time Minnie Williams was expected over, and to both students he gave a different reason for his wait ing. Many witnesses declaie they saw Durrant, or someone very like him, waiting about near the church as though expecting someone, and that some young girl did come, and that | the man took a key from his pocket, opened the side door, and entered, and the time was about eight o'clock— that is, p few minutes near the time when Minnie Williams left Mrs Voy's to attend Dr Vog«Ps social. Durrant was also due, as secretary, to this social, and at half-past nine he came in, perspiring and flurried, and with his hair mussed about, and he asked permission to wash his hands and tidy himself, as he had been in the armoury and had got soiled with some things there, but hurried off to get to the social. Others say he was never at the armoury, and, more strange than all, Minnie Williams' puise was found in his pocket when the police searched his clothing; in fact, after the charges —some very reckless—against other members, including the pastor, who held the keys of the church, had been been investigated, the police seem satisfied the human h'end is in their charge. It is certain that no one but a person intimately acquainted with the plan of the building could have done the deeds. The belfry was seldom used, and had it not been for the second murder the first victim might have decomposed beyond recognition or have been removed piecemeal before the tower was again entered. And in the last sacrifice the slayer, after leaving the poor, bruised and outraged body, went up some stairs, down the entire length of the church, up three steps to the platform, across to a little door, opened it, and, in the intense darkness, hhd to feel his way down a little flight of stairs, leaving on the wall the marks of his blood-stained fingers, then a turn, down a passage to a door where he again left his blood-red marks on the wall into the lavatory and still in that terrible gloom, as he washed his bands, scattering a few drops of the same innocent life blood on the wall and basin. From there he may ha T>e crept back again across the floor and down the stairs into that narrow chamber where, huddled up in an awful heap Jay his victim. But time presses; he must be off; it may be important to prove an alibi so he dons his coal, turns, re-enters the church, once more crosses it, goes down to the side door, slips out, waits behind the high gate opening on to the street to hear if any one is about; or, perhaps, slips down the back wall and crosses the paddock, regains the bustling thoroughfares, and is gone.

It is hardly necessary to point out that the evidence against Durranti* so far purely circumstantial and it will require a much stronger chain to bind him and fasten the deed where many believe it should be fastened. One great point in the accused's favor id the complete absence of the least trace of blood upon any article of clothing he is known to have possessed, nor can any be found, or ony clue obtained to the possibility of his having in any way hidden or destroyed it. Against this, however, expert medical men contend the wounds were post mortem, and, therefore, the blood would not gush out as from a Hying body, thus enabling any yillain capable of such work tp avoid mu.cb, if any, personal soiling.

But the final outcome of the tragedy does not concern the outside world much. The shame of the deed rests upon the c'ty, and the shame will be the more intensified if its courts and polise cannot offer up some small atonement to an outraged community lor the wickedness wrought in its midst.

I have narrated the above, not, as tb.pse who read my letters are aware, from any delight in the horrible, but simply because the prime is, truly, the prjmepf thp century, and. it is as well a fair and condensed epitome of the same should be given. My narrative is not ta^en entirely frp,ni the news papers, but frqm my own observations, a slight knowledge pf some of tbe characters, and the bare facts sub mitted in evidence and proven ty witnesses. The newspapers are very entertaining reading, buthardly directed so much by the love of truth as the love of sensation. A few words in CONCLUSION will not be amiss, but will serve to show the condition of affairs in San Francisco more clearly than columns of denunciation. We have at this present hour 36 murderers awaiting trial, sen tence, or execution in our gaols. In five years there have been 15Q murders jjj Ban JTraociscp, but during the same

11 period there has only been one hang b ing, and then it was a Chinaman. - Last year there were 778 arrests in , which the crime involved the use, dis -3 play, or possession of a deadly weapon. 5 Xhis number, of course, did not i cover all the crimes of this character; ■ as many more were never reported, or - their perpetrators never discovered; ; and even of the large number known i only 239 have up to date been con victed. I suppose it would be no ex aggeration to say that at least 50 per cent of the people in this city go to sleep with a pistol under their pillow, and a large number always carry arms about with them in their daily pere grinations. The press reeks with all phases of human depravity—so much so, in fact, that one'i moral sense be comes dulled, and that which at first created repulsion in time is accepted without tremor and as a mere matter of everyday news, In this last mania cal outburst, however, serious men read the signs of a coming judgment. The anger of an offended Deity will not for long be withheld, and men must not hope to mock with impuuity His aw forever. From platform and pul pit comes the universal wail, What next ? What next. ? Innocence and ■ purity outraged on God's altar, the blood of the helpless staining the floor of his sanctuary ! Yet, strange contradiction in the human mind, far from the people of this city mourning in sackcloth and ashes, a large party of its men and women are travelling and feasting and speechmaking the State over in order to boom California as a n't abiding place for mortal man, and with the especial object of increasing the popu lation of San Francisco by the year 1900 to half a million people !
