As has appeared durine the trial
he offered his services to assist in the
searon. ine followmg week dragged
wearny on. oaturaay morning Mrs.
Koeier, the wife of the nndpvrakfir
called here to tell me that a body had
ueeu louno ana tnat it was not
mancne s.
"Knowing my frightful anxiety, my
inBuuH ai tne cnurcn teared that I
would hear that a body had been found
ana might think it was Blanche,
mey naa oispatciied Mrs. Keeler to
ton me tnat it was the body of some
one else. In referring to Blanche's
disappearance and to the fact that
ineoaore was the last one to see her,
Mrs. Keeler remarked that he had cone
out of town. Like a flash his conduct
irom tnat Wednesday night praver
meeting passed before me. I remem
bered it all, his seeking me at the
prayer meeting, his strange call Fri
day morning, what Maud had said,
aud his dreadful interpretation of her
absence. A sickening realization came
to me, and I said to Mrs. Keeler:
" 'Durrant has killed that girl.' "
"That was after noon Saturday,
wnen the detectives were seeking
this information, Mrs. Noble said that
she did not know who first mentioned
Durrant's name. She did not know
tnat sne herself had set the machinery
of the law in operation against him.
Mr. Nolte, who found the body of
Minnie Williams, said today:
"Durrant's name was not mentioned
while I was at the ohurch. In fact. I
asked Mr. Gibson if he found out who
did it to let me know. He did not send
me word, and the first mention I knew
was in the papers."
Dr Vogel, who was called and iden
tified the body of Minnie Williams,
said:
"Durrant's name was not mentioned
at tne time the body was found. I
heard it ilrst in the afternoon. I was.
presumably, the first person to tell him
that day Blanohe was missing. That
was the Sunday after the disappear
ance, when Deteotive Anthony called on
me. I told Theodore on his way into
the church, going up the stairs. I can
not say now how he acted when I tnM
him. I had not connected him with
her absenoe, and was not on the watch
to see now ne behaved."
The case of the prosecution in rebut
tal has been carefully gone over by
both Barnes and Lees, and the order of
wiuiewies nas been decided upon. Dr.
wiuenr. uranam will be the first
witness. , ne will testify that he, in
company with J. S. Dunnigan, visited
Durrant at the city prison, and that
ine prisoner took him aside and asked
him for the notes of Dr. Cheney's lec
ture, saying that if he had the notes of
o lucmre ne could prove an abibi.
He will be followed by Dunnigan, who
will corroborate Graham iu all mater
ial points. Students Dodge and Dukes

with Durrant at the ferry landing the

fendant told them that he was wait; n
