CARRIE CUNNINGHAM
She Gives Strong Evidence
Against Durrani.
THE UTTERS BAD ADMISSIONS
Th Whereabout! of George Kins the
Night That Minnie Williams Was
Murdered Being Questioned.
San Francisco, Oct. 23. Dr. Gilbert
F. Graham was recalled for further ex
amination in the DurraDt trial this
morning, but was aeon withdrawn, and
Miss Carrie Cunningham, a newspaper
reporter, was called. She testified that
on August 18 Durrant told her that
while he was repairing the sunburners
he looked through a crack in the wall
and sa-v Blanche Lamont on the sec
ond landing of the belfry. An effort was
then made to obtain light on the state
ment said to have been written by Dur
rant to his attorneys. "To be opened if
he should be convicted, and to be re
turned if he was acquitted." District
Attorney Barnes intimated a week ago
that Durrant had shown Miss Cunning
bam an envelope bearing such an in
scription, but the court ruled the ques
tion was improper, and this matter was
dropped.
Miss Cunningham was then tempor
arily excused, and Dr. Mays was called
to rebut the testimony of the preceding
witness on the hallucinations of women
and the effects of gas. He was asked
tv hat condition a man would be in if be
inhaled gas from the burners. The wit
ness replied he would be' unconscious in
three minutes.
Miss Carrie Cunningham was then re
called for further cross-examination, but
nothing important was elicited when
court took a recess till 2 o,cleck.
George R. King is annoyed, but in no
way exercised over the rumor current in
the mission to the effect that he has no
alibi for the night Minnie Williams was
murdered. The young man thinks he is
more competent to settle the question of
his whereabouts on the evening of the
13th of April than the residents of the
mission.
He claims that he can establish a
complete alibi for that fateful nightjn
April, and that he can produce witness
es to tell where he was at certain hours
and how he passed his time. He is very
confident concerning the reliability of
his alibi, and ridiculed the possibility of
its being shattered. He says he spent
the evening, as he often did other even
ings, at the Tivoli, and that nothing
unusual occurred. To the police George
King made the statements that he was
at tbe Tivoli on the evening of April 13,
and that he was accompanied by Zach
Howard. This statement is verified by
Howard.
That George King and Durrant were
both absent from the Christian Endeav
or meeting at the Vogel residence on the
evening Minnie Williams met her tragic
fate has ever been a significant fact to
the mission people. It is probably due
to this coincidence that the rumor was
started. King and Durrant were intN
mate friends, and it was natural for peo
ple accustomed to seeing them together
'to connect their names.
Battleship Oregon.
Niw York, Oct. 23. -A Herald Wash
ington special says :
There will ,be no further delay in pre
paring the battleship Oregon for sea.
The navy department is working indus
triously to get her out of the contractor's
hands. It is said this activity is not due
in any way to the idea of prospective
trouble with Great Britain or any other
nation, though it is admitted the vessel
would be of a great value in case of dif
ficulty occuring.
Three 13-inch guns for this vessel
have been shipped, and as soon as the
gun car returns the fourth will be sent
to the works . of the builders. Two of
tne mounts for the 13-inch guns are al
ready in San Francisco, and the remain
ing mounts for these weapons were
shipped yesterday. The shipment of
the eight-inch guns has been com
menced, and it is expected that by Dec
ember 1 the main and secondary batter
ies for this vessel will be in position.
The armor for one turret is still unde
livered, but, according to Captain Samp
son, this will be shipped to San Francis
co some time next month, and ought to
be fitted to the ship by December 1.
It is expected the government's trial
of this vessel will take place during the
winter, and that she ought to be in com
mission during the spring or early next
year.

a day or two, -issue his call for a meeting
in the first week of December. The na
tional convention will meet within 10
days after May 23, 1896. Senator Carter,
James S. Clarkson and William H.
Hah 11 met last night at the Holland
house, and consulted about the wording
of the call, a rough draft of which Mr.
Carter has drawn up. The call will be
formal and will not attempt to outline
party policy.
"While down in the southwestern part
of the state eomo time ago," says Mr.
W. Cbalmt-rs, editor of the Chico (Cal.)
Enterprise, "I had an attack of dysen
tery. Having , heard of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I
bought a bottle. A couple of doses of it
completely cured me. Now I am
a champion of that remedy for all sto
mach and bowel complaints." For sale
