SAN I nANCrSCO , .Sept. 12.-The trolcu-
lon In the Durrant case ha\e found another
. [ law 1n the story told by the young medical
stutent on the day of Danche Lamont's mur-
tier . When Durrant was suddenly confronted
In time church by George King , the organist ,
1\0 \ explained his contlton of utter physical
and nervous collapse by tM statement that
he hall been overcome by gas whie engaged
In repairing electric wires L the attic. Dur-
rant asked ICing to get him some brome
seltzer. The prosecution will contend that I
Durrant hind been asphyxiated his knowledge
of medicine woull have taught 1m that
fresh nix Instead of a nerve tonic was what
he needed. Durrant's classmates at Cooper
: Ielical college will be placed on the stand to
show that the prisoner , as wel as alt of the
students , had been taught that the only
remedy for partial asphyxiation Is oxygen.
Durrant would soon have graduated from cel-
lege , and the prosecution will contend that be
was to well Iformed to have ordered a
nerve tonic which nauseated him when he
drank It If he had really been suffering front
the effects of gas
The prosecutLn also showed that Durrant's
hat and coat were not In the library when
KinK entered the church , but were there
when he rcturned from the drug store. The
Inference will be drawn that Durrant wanted
to get King out of the church , not to bring
him relief with a drug but to give himself
time to rover from his consternation and
an opportunity to carry his coat anti hat
from the rear of the church to the library ,
where It hall been his hnbtt to place them
whie working In the church
As the defense will lay stress on the In-
ability of one man to carry a body up such
a steep fight of stairs as leads to the belfry
of manuel church , the prosecution was
elated at the testimony today of Richard
Charlon , a grocer who had weighe Banche

Henry J. Shalmount , a cable conductor ,
testified that Durrant and Miss Lament hal
rlllen together to school the morning ot
AprIl 2. lIe had seen them frequently before
and his attention was particularly directed
to them on that day by their evllent In-
timacy. The defense admitted the fact that
Durrant anti Miss Lament were together at
that time and this line of inquiry was

abandoned by the proaecutian .

Herman J. Schlagler , a classmate of Dur-

after 7 o'cloee ] this moring reparalons were
begun for exploring No. 4 shaft In search of
the bodies of the miners who were entombed
last Saturday In the Osceola copper mine.
An exploring party , conslslng of Captain
Richards and five miners , was lowerell In a
skip , stopping at each level dpwn to the tour-
teentim. This party was down over an hour ,
and before they reached the surface a
large crowd hntl gathered about tie mouth
of the slmaft , watching most anxlouel for the
return of the IJarty. When they did come
up Il was only to disappoint time crowll for a
time , as they brought no bodIes wih tlmenm
They reported that much gas was still In the
mine. CaptaIn Richards reported that his
party had located twenty-thre bolee : wlhl.n
1.00 feet of the surface , being stretched
along from the fourth to the fifteenth levels.
Captain Edwards and a party of six men
then went down and by 1 o'clock all of time
bodies had been brought to the surface. James
Williams was found only 30 fet from time
surface Captain Treubath was found on the
ladderwy at the fourteenth level In a posi-
to which . denoted that h was taking hold
of time belt rope to signal to the lander on the
surface.
Alter dinner more starchlng parties were
sent down and succeeded In finding two moro
bqJiee' , making twenty-five reco\'ered. There
arc still five missing. The bodies showed no
sign that the men had suffered any before
death. No doubt death to most of them was
painless.
A coroner's jury has been empaneled and
will investigate the cause of the path of the
unfortunates. on Saturday. The funerals will mostly occur
