Bait Fasscrsco. April Ill—There is no
abatement of pupil ar interest in the
dreadful crimes that have deseersted
Emanuel Baptist church. It was sup
posed that the arrest of Theodore Durant
would put an and to the mystery stir-l
rounding the deaths of the two young
girls who were lured to their fate. but the
prisoner coolly denies any knowledge of
the crimes and declares tintiy that he can
bring proof to show that it would have
been physically impossible for him to have
been in the church when the crimes were,
committed. lie hits afollowing in the
church that remains loyal to him, but the
majority believe with the police that the
evidence ngulnst him is conclusive.
The chief mystery nowis whether he
hndhllcompiiccs. Those who have mode
a study of the scene of tho nmrdorof
Blanch Llll'llnllh declare that no one of the
strength of Durant, who is only .5 loot 7
inches and of slight build. could have corn
rind. unaided. the body of the woman up
the narrow winding stuirwoy tothc church
hclfry. ‘ "
On this point they been their belief that
he had at least one accomplice in the
church. and the man suspected is n churn
of Durunt, who has shown great syrups»
thy for Durant. lie was in. the church on
the morning that lilnrmh Lamont was
killed. Durant declared that the man
was playing the argon while he won fix-
ing the electric wimp ncnr the heifry,
where the girl's body was found.
The fact that Mrs. Forsytho, n marrlerl
woman. who was it member of the Enron-
uel church, has been missing for n wool:
has unused the suspicion that a conspiracy
existed BHIOI’IK two or more members of
the church for ruining Women. and that
their work become so hold that murder
was inevitable to prevent discovery.
Another Woman Missing.
The facts as gathered by the police show
thnt Durnut tried to seduce Blanch Lev
mont and then killed her, and the murder
of the wound girl was to prevent her from
revealing his nttcmpts to ruin Miss an
moot.
Theodore Durant has been fornmlly
charged wlth the murder of Minnie Wil-
liams. The coroner's inquest upon Miss
Williams will be held today. it will hen
dual investigutlon. The police will pro-
duce their evidence regarding the murder
of both girls. They any they hove more
than enough testimony to convict Durant
of murder.
The city is alive with sensational ru-
mors regarding the horrible tmfif'lly. The
street in from. of tho lvlnionucl Baptist
church was blocked rill (lay with curious
and excited crowds. Police unit defectives
spent the day in marching nil nmks and
corners of the city for further evidence
which may throw light upon the crime.
The police believe it impossible for the
butcher of Miss Willlums to have armour
pllshod his lirutul murder without boring
uncured with blood some article of cloth-
lug.
To find some trnco of tho msucsin's
prcwm-u was the ob jot-t of their “inflammat-
