JUDICIAL CONTEST.


The contest court adjourned Fri>
day last at 3 o'clock having finished
the counting of the ballots in the
judicial district. While there has
been no question as to the outcome
of the contest from the start. the
friends of Judge Dunham will be
eratified to know that he has passed
through the trying ordeal and comes
out with no stains on the judicial
ermine and with a record absolutely
clean and clear. Ills majority OF ~
has been increased to 1T. The idle
claims Of the conspiring contestants
have been proven so utterly false and
ridiculous that the judges would be
perfectly justified in putting the
immense bill of costs on those who
signed the petition that alleged
illegal votes for Judge Durham by
the hundred. The question of costs
has not yet been disposed OF, but
surely the innocent tax payers should
not be compelled to foot this bill.
The court will meet again on Dec.
II, when their report will be filed.
We give below the complete table OF
the original vote and the recount.
Read it carefully and be convinced
What an outrage this contest is.
Then remember that although it was
brought in the interest of ''fair elec-
lions" and the 'puritication OF the
ballot" the result shows that almost
every vote rejected on the charge OIL
bribery and the illegal use of money
was Sittser vote.

Corbett and Fitssim mons Meet.

Little Rock, Nov. l.-Corbett and
Fitzsimmons met in the dining room
of the Capitol Hotel at dinner to-
day. There was no blood shed. As
Corbett passed the table at which
Fitzsimmons was seated he made
two rapid steps, danced brief jig,
blew kiss to his lanky rival and
giving the historic password, "boo
boo," skipped out Of the room. Fitz.
simmons grinned affably, and the
guests in the dining room resumed
breathing.
Julian declares this afternoon that
Stuart had offered purse of $4,000

pURRANr IN GUILTY.


Eight Minutes.
San Francisco, Nov. l.-Theodore
Durrant, murdered Blanche Lamont
That was the verdict of the jury in
the case this afternoon. The Jury
was out twenty-eight minutes.
The verdict was received with
shout of applause from the auditors
who packed the court room.
The closing scenes of the great
trial was full of dramatic interest,
pathos and excitement.
The jury, upon reaching the room
selected Warren Dutton, foreman,
and then balloted. The first ballot
was for murder in the first degree.
Word was Immediately sent to the
court room and Judge Murphy sent
for the jury. While this was going
on Durrant sat in the court room be-
side his counsel, conversing with his
mother and several of her lady
friends.
As Foreman Dutton pronounced
the verdict of guilty Of murder in
the first degree the large audience
which had listened in perfect silence
for the words which he was to utter,
rose and uttered yell which echoed
far out in the corridors.
Most of those in the audience were
women. The cries which went up
from them fell upon the ear Of the
convicted murderer's mother like a
blow, and it seemed to bring her
first realization of the force
Of the words of the jury's fore
man. Her face was averted as she
had nervcd herself for the ordeal;
but though possessed of marvellous
courage, cry burst from her lips,
followed by hysterical outburst OF
sobs.
AS he listened intently to the
words which sealed his fate, Durrant
partially rose from his seat. The
look on his face was one of defiance,
and it was apparent that he had it in
mind to address the jury. The first
cry from his mother changed his
mind, if he had such intention. He
sat down, turned to his mother and
took her fondly in his arms. She
rested her head on his shoulder and,
with his left arm about her slender
form, he held her in tender embrace,
patting her with his left hand and
with his right stroked her hair. He
seemed oblivious to the tact that a
verdict which ment death to him had
been returned; oblivious to every>
thing except the weaping woman
who had sat patiently by his side
through the long trial, cheering him
with words of hope. IF his display
was of nerve it was marvellous, and
if of callousness to any but fidial
sensations, it was equally marvellous.
Then Judge Murphy announced
that next Friday he would pass SEN
tence upon Durrant and at the
same time would fix the time for
beginning the trial of Durrant for
the murder Of Minnie Williams.

Held, that it was error for the clerk to
give Judgment in favor of the plaintiff
because the defendant failed to file an
answer at the end of the time allowed,
since the denial in the said affidavit of
