The Eman ue.1 Eaprtist ohurdh, on Bairttlettit etreet, beitween Twenity-eecoind and Twenty' third, in '6hl8 ofty, has been he scene of two of itflie most aitrootous murders ever commuted in the atarte. Yeaterdlay the multiiilofted and murdered MJnnle Willltoms was found In Uhe lfbrary of the edSfloe. Today the dead body of BlainWhe Uamonlt was found ta he tow er of the eame dhurch. The same hand, the BAirtJhonDtles beiUeve, edew txLh girls, aimd W. H. T. Duranlt, tlhe young" man suspeoted of both crimes, Is now In custody. i Blandhe llaimanlt and Minnie Wil Hams were memtoers of iflhe Etmaniiol Baptlat dhurdh, land . 'members of the Siuidiay sdhool otaas. Tihe former was a puipdl alt the inormall sdhooJ, on Pow ell ebre-at, 4m, tiMs olity; ithe taitter was a comirjainlon toi a faintly in, Alcuneda, across itfhe toay from itlhls city. Both were 21 years old, brumerttea, and pret ty, modest glrto. Boitlh ihlad ibeen recip ients of alutentloins from a young med ical student miamed, Jurajnit, who is also libiurtam of the dlmro:h, and secre tary of the Youn People's Society of the churcai. f April 3 Miss jjmmaivt disappeared. iiugenx seiairon laaied to reveal any trace of her Whereabouts, and her aunt, Mrs. Nuible, with whom she had heen living, was tolUainy unlaJUle to itlhrow any lighit on the affair. Miss WiTtftta lived with friends to Alamoda, wfcy'fiSive her a ihome unitil she coudd secure a position. She had been a regular atltendlant at the Eman uel Church, having formerly lived in that nelgihiboithood. (but on the separa iron or sier fialtlhier and mother, had removed ito Alameda. Friday mornfljig the Morgan family, wtth whom she llv ed, hiad packed their Ihousehold good preparaitory -to removing to Taoomi, ana muss wimiams had removed her possessions to the house of Mrs. Voy, near the ohurdh. Friday evening she was tp have attended a meeting of the Young People's Socdelty of Emanuel unurcin ait Dr. Vogel's house. Ait 7:16 o'aloo Elhe left Mrs. Voy's .house to attend ithe meeting, JaWng a latchkey wlltih her. She never appeared there. About the fume tlme Durant left his home on latiroaks street, In the same vicinity, toounld for the same meetiim. At 8 o'lot k he met PhlUp Perkins and askeJ Mm some questions about a trip to Mount Diaibfo, which the signal corps of which he was a member was to moke the next day. At 9:30 he ap peared at Dr. Vogel's house, where the young people's meeting -was in prog ress, ana none were merrier 'than he during the remainder of he evening. At ii o'clock he left w!itih a party of young people, and went ihome. The next morning Duranlt arose early, and went with his comrades of the signal corps for Mount Diablo, 60 miles away. The two murders are so closely con rceaiea wot timat St is now necessary to go back to the Lamont case. Yes tenlay Mrs.. Noble, the 'aunt of Miss Lamont, received through the mails a paiper conUatoiJing the three rings worn by her niece the night 0he disappeared On the paper were wTtltlten the name artd adkiress of Theodore Duran. This wbh Ithe Haut luhlalt Ml as Williams', an intimate frtanid of Miss Lamartt, had been heard to say that she knew Blanche hald ibeen murdWied, but Wad refused to tell wthait she knew and how. led the ipollce ito suspedt Vhalt the same man who killed iMiss Wiliiams had slain (Miss IJaimttnt, end thait learning that Miss Wllltam knew of his first crime, attempted further conceal merit by committing a second murder. Late last night daeottves had about decided Khiat Duramt had murdered Miss Winienis, and the theory was fur ther Strang-Hbenod this momdng, iwhen. on making a thorough search of Dman- uel church they found the dead and outraged body of Miss Lamont conceal ed in the steeple. Death had been caused by strang-ulatton. The body was found Just Inside the door of the rower room, naked ana on the floor. Around tfiie neck there were streaks, the marks bf fingers that had been pressed deep lnfto the tender flesh. The mouth was open, showing the regular teeth. The features were badly dis torted, being drawn at one corner and the Up swollen and bloodstained. The nose was the only feature tint retain ed Ks original shape, for the cheeks were bloated. The glrf's UgWt-hrown hair was matted wtth dirt, and hung loosely about her htouMer. The body was in the first stage of decomposition. tedtlvee before they opened the door. Wlhlen the officers reached Ithe head of the Stairs, Whey fount tine door of the tower looked. They broke in the door. It was so dark the officers could nut see and one of ifchw struck a match. As the light (tared they saw before 'tUiem the dead body of the girl for whom tthey were searching. The body was taken to Ithe morgue, where it was placed on a Blab aide by side of Minnie Williams. As soon as the news became known an Immense crowd surrounded the dhuroh, and had to be kepi back by the yoface. The chief of police sertt for Who Rev. Dr. Gdlbson, pastor of the church, and the report ibeoame current that he had ibeen accused of (the crimes aoad had been arrested. Then the crowd surged to Dr. Gibson's house and the excite ment grew more mltense, It spread all over the oifty. Extra ipapers were got ten out, and tlhbUBands of persons flocked to ithe scene. .The ruiuor of the arrest 'Was .later denied, and St be came known .that Dr. Gibson and the sexton of the churoh had been merely called ito (toll what hiey knew. At 6 o'clock came the tows that iDurant had been arrested at Walnut creek on the road to Mount iDtabSo. .He was caught by Detective Anthony, who left In pursuit of him early ItthJs morning. The detective amid his .prisoner left on the .train for Ban iPmnciaoo, arriving this evening. Another Jarge crowd had gialthered at the ferry 'to thee the suspected murderer come In, tout a de tadhmenlt of .ipollce were in waiting, and kept the crowd back. Duroni was hustled into a patrol wagon, and whirl ed away to the ctty prison, where he was locked up. The police are certain rthlat Ithley have the rlgtJt man. Thpy claim to have two wlltaiesses who saw Duramlt and Miss Williams in company Hast Friday night, and also state that when a search was made of Du rant's house today that In IJJhe .pocket of his coat was found a purae whMMlss Wil liams is known to have oanried Fri day night. Duranlt is about 23 years old, and was bom and raised Jn the neighborhood in which the murders oc curred. He is a graduate of Cogswell high school, and has been studying medicine for a year. He ta a member of -the -Second 'Brigade signal and was awrtatant superintendent of the 'Emanuel church Sunday school. He was always of a quiet disposition, and his friends refuse to believe, ln spite of the evidence, that he commit ted the crimes attributed to him. The police, however, thlnfc that Duramt Is another "Jack the Ripper," With a ma nia for murder. They State 'that It is highly probable that Dunant is respon sible for the killing of Eugene Ware', a. young drug clerk, who was found stabbed 'to death several months ago, in the store where he worked. No trace was ever found of the assassin,' and the theory Is AhlaJt Dunant killed Mm. No motive for this murder was discov ered, and the fiendish cruelty of It (Ware" was stabbed in 18 places) leads to the belief that it was the work of an insane person. Duranlt's .parents are highly esteemed people of the dWtriot ta which they live. His father is chief engineer in Buckiirvghtaan & Hecht's shoe factory, and while not rich, was able to give bis children a good education and start them In Mfe. Durartt made the follow ing statement for ithe rjress: ."The last time T met .Mies Lamont was on the morning of ithe da she dis appeared. We talked about ibooks, and I promised to bring a book for her to prayer meeting that might. Miss La mont did not appear alt prayer meeting, and the following Friday i took the book to her house and gave it to her sister. The tatter toOd me that Blancaie had gone to school .evidently trying to keep he fact of her Msappewanoe a secret.' This is all I tonow yt the La mont case. The .last tlimej saw Min nie Williams was three weeks ago." Wlhen carafranlted toy ith'e evidence that Wise Williams' purse had been found In his pocket, Duranlt gave the following explanation: "I .was going home from Wh meeting at Dr. Vogel's, (FVXd&y otgWt, when my foot struck a small object on ithe side walk. I picked It up and found It was man pocket sninror. iNear by was yurse, which I also picked up and p-Jt ikt my poclwt, I took both purse and mirror home with me, Intending to till uny .p&rarta of my Una, Et Was late however, and I Went righlt t hec. In the morartng I was in e (hurry to get away with the signal corps, land forgot all about it.1 The police itake exoetptlon to Dupant's statement that he Wad not seen Miss Wlirtams for three weeks. They say they can prove That tie was wtth her Monday and Tuesday, and probably later. From all abearance. Miss Lamont ww not murdered ta the room where her body was found. The body had been drugged up the belfry stairs, and Into Khe tower fOotn. Her raWMn roiuu muutxi nxo various cor ners of the room. uiuer crowiey, in speeUVng of the case tortdht, after detailing the cir cumstances of Mlrs Win lams' disap pearance last Friday night, and the fact that a person answerta Durant's description had fceen seen entering the church with a woman who answer Vogel's house at about 9:30 or 10 p. m., remaining there' until about 11:30. Dr. Vogel states that at the time Du- ran't arrived alt his house he noticed that Dunant was some win at exercised, and .that great 'beads of perspiration came from his fcrehead. His hair was disheveled, and he asked .Dr. Vogel's permtmlon to wash his handB and ccmb his hair iboforo he wade tils ap pearance where the young people were, stating to the doctor that he had Jus returned from the signal corps, and con sequently Huts heundB were dirty. He afterwards came down stairs, and dur ing the evening read a letter purport tag to come from his slstar, in German, and after reading Ithe letter he seemed more composed. "About a month ago, I am informed, Purarit accompanied a young lady from churoh, and during the conversa tion which ensued he asked the young Jady If ,she were not suffering from some female oomplalnt, amd suggested to her that he would prescribe for her. and that It did baneftt her. On a later occasion, one day after churoh. Dunant asked her If she had ever been exam. lued. She was somewhat surprised at Wis queel titan, and answered no, Durant then told her that she ought, to be, and that he could do It, . She told him she did mot desire Wo be examined, that her folks would attend to th&t, no tuien tow ner rnat there .was no fear of detedtiton, and he proposed that he Jonew a good place in the ohuroh, where no one would find it out. She was very much surprised at thda offer, which She midiginiainltjy repulsed. "When Dtwanlt left Dr. Vogel's resi dence about 11:30 he left there In com pany with a young man by the name of Wolf, and a number of young la dles. They walked from Vogel's house to Twenlty-fourth and Howard streets, when Whe panUes separated, and Du ramlt continued west on Twanty-fourth ebreot. . AJbout 12 !15 a. m., Wolf went to Ms stable, and saddled his horse. Crossing the corner of Twenty-fourth and Barttett streets, he noticed Du rant standing on that comer. When these facts were rniaide known to me I detailed Detective Seymour to Tamal pals, undensltainofng ftlhalt Durant was to go there, and Detective Anthony to go to Mojlrft Dliablo. I was Informed that Durant .might be at either place. ' '"f also came ito the conclusion that the person Who murdered Miss Wll Jiams had something to do with the disappearance of Miss Lamont. I kept the facts to myself, and only- advised the detectives who were working on the case of my wiwplotons. I told them that I thought Miss Lamont would also b-j four.d in the ohuroh. I accord IhkI.v Instructed 'Dateatlves aibeon and fi:oay ,inr wake wlhlat force of officers t-yicqulred and make la thorough I.-' estimation Of the Ohurdh. Gibson and Cody,', with Sergeants Ilurke and Reynolds, succeeded In finding the body of Miss Lamont in the steeple. I then directed Serpdamt Burke, beln satis fied that -my suspicions wree correct, to go upon my reoponslblllity to Du rami's houoe and there search for any evidence procurable. Burke took Offl cer Joseph wDh him and they found a Ik ng ulster and a photograph album containing a photograph of himself and two of Miss WMiiimo, and In the pock et of the ulster MIrs Williams' purse was found,, containing an Oakland car ticket. The purse has 'been nonltlvelv identified by Miss WMllams' father, for - he gave it to her as a Christmas present. ' Up n examination in my office this evening I asked Durant the following: "Young man, you will bo placed on trial for your life. I only want to ask you one ouefltlon, and do not wish to oonvidt you from your own, mouth. DM you ever see this purse?' "He said 'Yes.' "I asked him 'when?' ."He said: 'Last Friday night. I found it about 20 minutes to 12 o'clock, at the comer of Twenty-tlulrd and Bantlee streets.' " Durant appeared confident and com posed in his cell, which Is one of the steel tanks in the new city hall. His attorney was present during the intcr "lew given .to the reporters, and when liAf made the statement ithat he had not seen Miss Williams for three weeks -wlhloh Is said positively to be at va rance wtth the facts his attorney in terrupted him, saying he had talked onjugh.
