thing Is possible Miss Lanigan is the clearest of the three young lady wit nesses who tripped from the Normal School on that afternoon On the preliminary examination she was entirely self possessed

Day After Day at the Accused I The sweet pea girl Is not the only person who has visited Judge Murphys court flay after day to gaze at Theodore Durrant There is another individual a man with the gazing habit but his purpose In scrutinizing the prisoner differs from that of the emotional girl He Is not fascinated with Durrant He merely want to hypnotize him That is the reason he sits for hours with his mind and eyes concentrated on the accused No one told Durrant this strange aetlng man with the largebulging eyes was tryinr to gain control of his will He felt it himself and for weeks has been in mental conflict with the stranger He frequently discusses the man with Jailer Sattler on their way to and jfrom the court but he has refused to talk of the affair for publication At first Durrant keDt the affair to himwif 1 sW but as the mans gaze became annoying ic angered him and he told the following vstory toSattlerf The man attracted his attention at the opening jjesslon of the ftrst day of court He stared at Durrant that morning constantly and succeeded In making him know he was watched He was present again in the afternoon and since then has not missed a ses sionHe Is one of the first to enter the courtroom In the morning and la almost invariably the last stranger to withdraw when the proceedings of the day areoverv Durrant has assured Sattler that the man has no Influence over him other than that of irritating him He never feels the gaze if the man is behind him but when the fellow faces him with that peculiar look It makes him Indignant The man has never resorted to any of the well known hypnotlafdevlces to gain control over DurrantHe never sways his body or slowly moves his headrtHe does nothing but look1 At first Durrant thought the man excessively impudent He thought his staring was prompted by curiosity As the man continued to look and stare 1 day after day Durrant finally understood what he was attempting and angrily said to Battler Why do you know that bothersome fellow Is trying to hypnotize mer The nypnotist annoys the friends of the prisonernartlcularly the ladles who accompany rMrsjDurrantTwd sit with her during the sessions of court Before the court was moved Into the present chamber this mysterious man took un his position a good part of the time right nnaer judge Murphys desk From that place he had a rood view of the nn onerHe always managed to get where 4 he can at least partiallysee the face ofDurrant Last Thursday the hypnotist annoyed Durrant exceedlnglyH Henot only stared at him all dayrwith his head supported in his hands but after court adjourned he hung around until ordered to leave by one of the deputies After the crowd had left he went up to the railing and stood there watching Durrant intently while he put on his overcoat and said good by to his parents The man Is a mystery toall who have heard ot him No one knows his purpose in seeking to hypnotize the accused He make friends with no one He slips Into court and dodges out when the session is over He Is as mysterious In his way as was the girl who carried sweet pea blossoms to the courtroom Durrant described the hypnotist to Sattler as being a peculiar looking person He is well built of medium height and has every appearance of being a gentleman He dresses well and is quiet In his manner The marked peculiarity of the man lies In his eyes They are large round and bulgy He has a smooth face and is about SO years of age So annoying has he become to Durrant that the prisoner asked Sattler if he could not be refused admittance to the courtroom TRIED TO BURN A THEATER MAST LIVES MIGHT HAVE BEEX LOST Incendiaries Set Fire to Bottle Koe aUra Old Stand la a Knmber of Places The timely discovery of a fire un doubtedly of incendiary

effecting an entrance they found the entire building In a blaze of light and burning in a dozen different places at once There was a fire in the scenery on the stage a fire under the gallery upon which the boxes are located and a fire burning in many different places in the cellar Fortunately the flames had not gained much headway and were easily extinguished At the same time the cause of the fire was discovered In each of the places where the fire had rnrned the tips had been taken off the burners the gas Ignited and turned toward the woodwork Twelve burners had been treated In this way and a candle left burning against the scenery on the stage The greatest damage was done in the cellar Here the ends of the pipes had been torn off and the gas lighted and the ends forced against the

Sweet Pea Girl in an Interview SHE IS SICK OF THE CASE WILL APPEAR AT THE TRIAL IIO MORE Mrs Bowers Says She Has So Testi mony to Give In the Prison ers Favor The sweet pea girl will vanish as one of the incidents of the Durrant trial She has declared she will no longer attend the trial The notoriety which has been caused through the revelation of her identity has cured her of any further public interest In the case Late last evening Mrs Bowers consented to an interview It was very brief She denied that she was ever with Durrant on a street car in San Francisco or that she proposed to tes tify for him In any way While begging the question as to the reasons why she had Interested herself in the case Mrs Bowers emphatically pro tested that she would take no further Interest in the trial Mrs Bowers was about ready to leave the hotel in com pany with a tall dark complexioned man with black hair who declined to reveal his identity further than to say he was a friend of the lady I think there has been enough noto riety given me over this matter said Mrs Bowers I do not care to talk about the case I shall not attend the trial any more and I am not going to give any testimony Mrs Bowers explained her friend saw Durrant on the boat when he was arrested and she thought he was innocent I think that Is the first time she ever saw him My Idea Is that the only reason she was Interested in the case was because she thought he was inno ay ear and a half ago have come to grief Frank Wilson la serving a term In the Oregon State prison for burglary and George Young alias Kid Young was arrested In this city yesterday morning hy Detectives Gibson and Reynolds and Sergeant Martin The police learned that Young had returnedtothis city about two weeks ago and Detectives Gibson and Rey nolds were detailed to find him They located xoung and his pretty wife at 430 oclock yesterdays mornlnsr In a lodging house on Stockton street neari I Geary zoungwas taken out of bed and Drougnt to the City Prison He was nut in the tonka and will be charged with Durgiary The robbery of the Jacobsen residence created quite a sensation especially wnen tne audisn Walter Guy Fernauid and Mrs Gamier and her son were arrested in Los Angeles and brought to this city Fernauid according to facts known and corroborated bv his con fession after he received a sentence of rour years in the Folsom penitentiary put in considerable time making love to Miss Jacobsen In doins so he learned that 18000 or more In diamonds and U100 in com were in a certain trunk In the hallway of the Jnrohspn resldenc Fernauld planned with George Young and Frank Wilson to rob the trunH Miss Jacobsens dude lover made a dia gram or the house and Young and Wll son committed the burglary while Fernauid watched outside Fernauid received only 200 In cash and seventeen diamonds valued at about 200 more Though Mrs Gamier and her son were not directly Implicated it was believed they had full knowledge of the crime The case against them was dismissed ane robbery took place February 16 liVt that she never spoke to him In her life and she has not known him except through seeing him in the courtroom Mrs Bowers declined to discuss the family difficulties which had caused her to seek an abode elsewhere thab under her husbands roof at 264 Elev enth street in Oakland The husband of the sweet pea girl has given up hope that she will return to him He Is quite disconsolate over the entire affair and thinks he has lit tie chance of inducing her to return to her home He attributes all his and her woes to the fact that she has be come mentally unbalanced from dwell ing on the thousand and one details of the Durrant case and her apparent de votion to the prisoner Of one other thing he was positive That his wife was unacquainted with Durrant before the trial and is en tlrely unable to give any testimony favorable to the prisoner should she feel so disposed In the event however that is her peculiar state of mind she volunteered testimony to the attorneys for Durrant and succeeded In making them believe It was true Mr Bowers Is prepared to furnish witnesses to prove that she could not possibly have known Durrant previous to the tragedies in Emmanuel Church He was notonly prepared he stated yesterday but he would do so should his runaway wife attempt to take the stand It Is pretty safe to say that the defense has never thought for one moment of putting her on the stand and that all reports to that effect are fabrications So far as my wifes actual knowledge of Durrant Is concerned said Mr Bowers yesterday I have to depend on conjecture She sent books and flowers to him and did many things that were quite out of plate but I could nof argue her cut of it Of course I did not know as a matter of fact that she had been attending the trial so steadily until her picture first appeared In the Chron icle I left home early every morn Ing for my business and did not return until late In the evening and I could not be certain where she went I do not care what my wife may say as to her knowledge of Durrant nor am I prepared to state Just now what will be done in case she should make any statements Should she go on the witness stand however and profess to know anything that occurred prior to the time sh commenced to attend this trial I shall for the protection of my name be compelled to produce wit nesses who will give irrefutable test mony to the effect that It would have been impossible under the circumstances for her to have known anything about Durrant or his case I

When Informed of his mistake the captain signaled red stack tug and was towed back to a point considerably beyond the Blossom Rock buoy Laptain Thompson said yesterday that when the Allen left Honolulu there had been one or two deaths from the disease and the authorities were engaged In a hot dispute as to whether It was or was not cholera The bark carried a bill of health which did not give the number of deaths and It was not supposed that the ves sel would be quarantined by the captain or the passengers There are fifteen of these passengers on the Allen a number so unusually large as to indicate that there is Indeed an exodnn mm Honolulu Just at this time as Mayor ouiro suspects une passengers take the quarantining In good humor and are making the best of the situation They talk over the rail with anybody who comes alongside but that Is about all the amusement they have A customs inspector in a rowboat is kept off the barks stern to prevent all communication with the vessel The officers assigned to this duty are famlt iar with the work on the harbor side of China steamers Such co operation on the part of the customs service with the quarantine officers was never before known at this port The members of the Board of Health went out on the bay In the State tug uvvciuur aaarnnam yesieraay riarbor Commissioner Colnon was along and It was by his courtesy that the tug was placed at the disposal of the Board It Is probable that If more boats than the Governor Perkins are required while there is danger from cholera one of the State tugs will be used Quarantine Officer Chalmers was found on board one of the vessels In quarantine and taken on board The party then made the rounds of the vessels to be boarded and visited the quarantine station on the island There was some talk that the schooner Martha Tuft from San Marcos Island might be quarantined for she came In with one case of sickness on board She was held In the quarantine grounds over night but in the afternoon yesterday Dr Chalmers visited the schooner and saw the patient who was in his bunk unable to come on deck It was found that the man was suffering with nothing more severe than a bad case of the grip Among the vessels boarded by the Quarantine Officer yesterday were the bark Dominion from New South Wales the barkentlne Tropic Bird from Tahiti the British bark Glenbreck from Newcastle the British ship Columbia from Penarth the British ship Otterburn from Newcastle England and the British ship Levernbank from Newcastle New South Wales The Board of Health met last evening

there were six cases of cholera at tne port of wmen nve resulted in death Dr Chalmers remarked that this was a heavy percentage of deaths a pnysician certificate showed that the Allen was thoroughly

evening Shortly after clock his son was In the rear yard conversing with his wife when his attention was attracted by a sound similar to what would be made by two pistol shots fired In rapid succession He thought that the shots sounded muffled or It might be a board falling down somewhere about the house He did not investigate at once and had forgotten about the sounds when he went into the house about three quarttrs of an hour later Going upstairs he noticed a light In the bath room and It flashed across his mind at once that something was wrong with his father and that was where the sound of shots came from He returned to his father room and found It empty He then walked Into the bathroom and on the floor found the body of his father His head rested against the partition and two bullet holes In the right temple told the story of his tragic ending The revolver which he used was found by his side Shortly afterward oung Coffey visited police headquarters and Informed Captain Lees of the suicide of the brave detective He could not give any reason for the rash act but believed that his father had become despondent through sickness and concluded to end his existence For

an interpreter and I swept the streets at 25 a day at which I had been employed for eight months I saved most of my money for my room cost me 2 50 a month and my food from 5 to 10 cents a day How can you live upon that sum queried the Court Well said the sturdy looking Russian who weighs 209 pounds or more I learned how to live cheaply while I was an exile In the mines of Siberia I find pieces of bread and bits of food In the streets and in barrels where It is thrown by cooks of the restaurants and sometimes I have to pay a few cents for food I have a wife and some children In Russia and I want to get them out here Selig explained that he was to get some interest from his loan to Branstetter and that that Is why he made the loan The story appeared plausible but the Court was greatly
