ban Francisco, Cal., Oct 22. The prosecution in the trial of W. H. T. Durrant has found a witness who will testify that everything was not right in Emanuel church prior to the murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams. This witness is a colored bootjbjack named "Budd" Wilson. Last inight when he was served with a subpoena he told this story: "I know King and Durrant so well that they talked freely with me. I was surprised that such religious young men should be carrying on so, but I eoncluded they were about the same as othrs. I learned from those two Doys t:.ómselves tnat tfley were taking girls to the church every nlght. I often heard them teil of the fun they had and of the different glrls who : ;ompanied them. I know myself of flve ' girls who used to go there with them. The people in the mission would be surprised if they knew who the girls were. They all belong to respectable families, and the worst of it all is that their parents never dreamed that such things were go ing on."
