DURRANF's DAYS NuMnEnED.
No circumstances TO Mitigate the
Atrocity OF HISS Crime.

San Francisco Cal Dec 6-Jrdgc
Murphy this morning denied the motion
for. Il new trial in the case of Theodore
Durrant. and ordered that he be turned
over to the warden of San Quentin pen
ttenttary to be kept until the day hhs
been fixed for passing sentence; upon
him.
Judge Murphy said he approved the
verdict of the jury. II being the only
one that could have been rendered un-
der the circumstances. The defense
gave notice of appeal
Judge Murphy, In denying the motion
for new trial. said to the prisoner:
No fair, conscientious and honest
jury could have arrived at different
result. In the business of your convic-
ton the Court expresses its full and en-
tire concurrence. Indc,d, the verdict
thus rendered was the necessary and
inevitable conclusion resulting from
the evidence OF your guilt as disclosed
at the trial
There are no circumstances to miti-
gate the ntroctty of your crime; It
stands almost without parallel and
without the sernblancc of palliation If.
as is claimed, by the prosecution, you
caused the death of the deceased in n
fclonteuS attempt upon her virtue, then
indeed do you richly deserve the pun
iShment 10 be awarded against YOU
Judge Murphy then ordered that Dur
rant he turned over to the warden OF
san Quentin pcnitentiary within ten
days. and to be kept In close confine-
ment until the day OF his execution.
for which, however. no time was fixed
Durrant heard his fate without the
twitch of n muscle. He stared at the
Judge as defiantly as though he was
being arraigncd on some trivial charge
OF contempt of court When II was all
over he sat down. leaned over to his
father, and smiled

Said pasha Accused orTrcnso,

London, Dec. 6-The Standard will
Tomorrow publish IL dispatch from
Constantinople saying the British EN-
bnssy is surrounded by strong patrols.
The dispatch adds that II would re-
quire columns to explain the. circum-
stances that led Said Pasha seeking re.
fuGe in the Embassy and 1.-THE possible
consequences, OF his step. but that IL Is
sufficient to say that he was lately in
vitcd to resume the Grand Vizierate,
and that on his refusal he was impris-
oned for week in the tower within the
precincts of the VildI2 Palace
The Dnily. News dispatch from Con-
stantinople says that when Said Pnsha
applied to Sir Philip Currie for asylum.
he explained to Sir Philip that his life
was in danger Said Pasha is the only
Minister of marked capacity who has
not been sent away from the Capital.
II was always thought that his procli-
vitles were Russian, rather than Brit
ish, and surprise Is, therefore, express
cd that he did not seek refuge ut the
Russian Embassy. He has the .rcputa-
ton of never having intriglian with any
power and he has always giveni single
minded advice to the Sultan. He urged
upon the Sultan the extreme danger Of
his present course. 1t is alleged that
the Sultan questioned him as to the
origin of the sedtious placurds that
nave been posted about the Capital
and asked him TO use his influence to
these reasonable proclamations. Said
l'asha replied that he did not know
who the authors of the placards were
and being out Of office, he was unable
to fulfill His ,Majesty's wish. The Sui
tan thcreupon rcproached him with
being at the head of the revolutionary
movement
1t Is obvious that the reasons inhuc-
ing him TO take the grave step must
have been most imperative since by
seeking foreign protection he renders his
life worthless should he quit tho I'm
baSsy, except with an English escort Tor
the purpose of cmbarking on a :JroiG,:
ship The fact that tie favori.c Of tic
whole Turkish nation as opposed to the
palace clique. has chosen the British
Embassy for a refuge, gives Sir Phillip
Currie an advantage that he would be
foolish To let slip without fully profit
ing thereby. The nearest parallel To
the present incident was when Sir a.
Layard. I'm Madrid. addressed Marshal
Serreno as lacquey and drove with him
in his own carriage. If the present Incl
dent is adroitly used II may end once
for all the miserable palace regime
