Her head was thrown back and round
her neck was dark ring of discolored
bruised flesh. Her arms lay straight
down by her sides, and her hands were
Z irhtly -clenched.
On the floor beside her, supporting the
motionless form upon his knee, was the
young sergeant, Eben Miles. His head
was bert down so that Ned could not
zee his face. He was uttering no articu-
late word, but from his lips there issued
indistinct mutterings, like the whispered
gibbcrish of an i'm beetle.
A little way off, leaning heavily
against the table, was the landlord. Rob.
ert France. He was shaking from head
to foot; his black eyes seemed to be start
ing out OF his head; his matted hair
hung in rough disorder far over his pale
face. As the door opened and Ned came
In, France rushed towards him, and seiz-
ing him by the arm in strong grip,
pointed TO the two figures on the door
with a shaking finger.
"Look at him. Look at her. She's
dead. He's killed her, m ordered her-my
wife, my poor wife.
He seemed scarcely sane, as, enashing
his teeth and clenching his fists, he sud
denly dropped Neds arm, and made fran
tic rush in the direction of the sergeant.
When, however, Eben looked up, with a
wild stare, as II not recognizing the per-
son of his wouldbe assnilant, tbs land
lord fell back step, ana staggering
against the table again, threw himself
into a chair, and buried his head in his
hands wit IN a loud groan
"Gonel Gonel My darling, my dar-
ling wife. Killed. Murdere I" sobhed he
once more, as Ned advanced into the mid
die of the room and gazed in bewilder-
ment at the soldier and his CHASTITY bur-
den.
II was upon this quiet, silent figure,
and not upon the rsving. bsreaved hus-
band, that Ned's interest was a, once CEN

made Ned doubt even this. The sergeant

There are few more beautiful women or
popular singers than Miss Theresa Vaughn
whose refined and exquisite singing in
the burlesque, "1492. A" will long be re-

Durrant's father was not In the room
when the verdict was returned. AS soon
as the jury retired, he went out into the
corridors, not believing the jury would re-
turn for several hours, and he first
learned that his son had been convicted
when a cheer went up from the crowd in
the building as the news spread.
Durrant recovered his old-time COM
posure as soon as he left his mother, and
prepared 10 return To the county Jail.
With his overcoat swung carelessly over
his arm. he walked leisurely out Of the
room, twirling his slight mustache with
apparently as little concern as II he were
merely a spectator, instead of the prin-
cipal figure in the exciting scene.
The verdict fell with all it's force on
Durrant and his family, who had banked
all their hopes on a disagreement. Mrs.
Durrant steadfastly maintained that a
shadow of doubt would rest in the mind
of one Of the Jurors and that her son would
not be convicted. She was, therefore,
totally unprepared for the jury to find her
son guilty in 20 minutes.

DURRANTGUILTY
Jury Renders Verdict OF Murder IT,
the First Degree.
CROWD cHEEaED THE DECISION.
But Few Minutes Deliberation
and but One Ballot.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. e.-Theodore Dur
rant, assistant superintendent OF Emanuel
Baptist church Sunday school, was yester-
day convicted of the murder of Blanche
Lamont. for which he has been on trial
since July % last. The jury were out 20
minutes, and arrived at the verdict on the
first ballot.
II was exactly 21 minutes from the time
the jury left the courtroom 10 the time
the verdict was announced, but that time
was not all taken up in deliberation. In
fact, there was no deliberation at all.
The jury had evidently decided upon a
verdict before they left the box. 1t was
1884 when they filed out of the courtroom
into the grand jury room, which had
been placed az their disposal,
1t took the II men until $3.50 o'clock be-
fore they settled themselves comfortably,
and at $3.50 knock on the door announced
90 the anxious walters that verdict had
been found. 1t took just five minutes Of
actual time TO elect foreman and take
the one ballot necessary. AS there was no
recommendation of mercy, the punish
ment was fixed at death.

Judge Murphy finished his charge at
$780, and the jury at once retired AL
though there was supposed to be little
prospect of verdict being returned be-
fore late i'm the evening the throng OF
spectators who had remained in the over
crowded courtroom To hear the judges
charge settled themselves back in their
seats to await the return Of the jury. Mrs.
Durrant and the prisoner talked and
laughed together as if an acquittal were
foregone conclusion. They were sur
rounded by half dozen friends, and the
conversation was animated when IL be-
came whispered about that the jury had
agreed upon n verdict.
In an instant n hush fell upon the little
circle that had gathered around. the
prisoner. Durrants face, always pallid,
assumed a CHASTITY hue, and his mother
was speechless Then the door at the
rear of the room opened and the jury filed
in and took their seats in the box. In
tense excitement followed. The room,
although filed to its utmost capacity, was
almost as quiet as IL 1t had been vacant.
An Impressive Scene.
Judge Murphy was summoned, and took
his place on the bench. Clerk Morris
asked the usual question as to whether
che jury had agreed upon verdict Fore
man Warren Dutton arose and replied In
the affirmative. "We, the jury" he said,
"hnd the defendant. William Henry
Theodore Durrant, guilty of murder in
the first degree"
As the aged foreman, pale and trem-
bling, read the words L at fixed Durrant's
fate, low rumbling noise, like the roar of
n mob, arose from the rear of the court
room. The next moment men were cheer.

Then the door was thrown open, and
Minnie, her face white as the dead, drawn
with great terror, stood within the
room.
"Hsrrieti" she gasped. "Harrietl"
"Whst about herr" cried Robert

direction this new sound came.
One moment he stood, irresolute; then,
touching the walls with shaking, clammy
fingers, and creeping blindly s+eHg with
slow footsteps, instead OF the run at
which he had started, he came TO q door
which yielded, creaking, to his hano. At
the same instant there came from within
the room smother cry, the cry that he had
first heard:
"Heip, help. It's murderl"
Ned threw open the door, and entered
the room. IL was the club room, but 1T
did not seem the same apartment to Ned

"But wasn't 1t enough to make a man
mad, now, to hear her talking as IL l
didn't care for my wife?' said he, as
they went along the corridor together.
"Why, I'm that fond OF my old woman,
though we do have a few words some
through fire and water TO hunt down any
rascal that would do her HARM"
"Why, you don't surely think"
"Oh, no. She's at her aunt's, safe
enough. But IL she does't come back the

just let things here slice, and go and

AS they parted for the night, and Ned
went into mis- room, he heard poor little
Minnie's sobs through the door OF her
room, which she had left ajar.
Ned Fothergill went to bed rather dis
turbed by the occurrences of the evening.
Although he was inclined to think the
husbands explanation OF his wife's ab-
sence the most plausible one he had yet
been sufficiently infected by pretty Min
MES fears TO feel rather uneasy about
the attractive hostess of 1.-THE Griffin.n
He had seen enough OF Bob's sombre
jealousy, of his wife's coquetry, of the
sergeant's evident admiration, to feel
doubtful whether there were not more in
this DISAPPEARANCE OF the lady than mot
the eve.
And he was turning the matter over
ana over In his mind when he fell asleep.

what, when the early rays OF dawn were

Springing out OF bed in an indescriba BILE

through the hou~~- followed quickly by

There was q noise. as of heavy weight
crashing down on the floor. And then
there was dead silence.
CHAPTER III.
A Black Deed.
Ned Fothergill flung himself into his
clothes, snd rushed out OF his room and
along the corridor, toward the room
where Ae aud the landlord OF the inn,
and Eben Miles, the soldier, had had
supper on the previous evening.
IL was instinct, rather than an acute
sense OF the direction whence the cries
came, which led him straight TO that
apartment.
But before he reached Il. woman's
frantic scream reechoed through the house
