DURRANT RESPITED.
Blanche LnmOnt's Murderer Granted "a
New Lease of Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-Theodore
Durrant, the murderer of Blanche Lamont,
was reprieved to-day. Governor Budd de-
cided upon this course in order to settle the
question of the rights of the federals courts
to interfere in the execution of a sentence
imposed by the state court. He has named
July as the day on which the sentence
shall be carried out. The object of the re-
prieve, as the attorney general explained
last night, is to avoid the necessity of re-
sentencing the convicted man. If the posi-
ton taken by the Governor be supported
will be carried out on July 8, just as it
would have been tomorrow but for the
habeas corpus proceedings. To-day the
necessary kilograms ordering stay of eX-
ecution were sent to Sacramento by the
Governor. The position taken by Governor
Budd is that the habeaS corpus proceedings
and the appeal incident to the denial of the
writ sued out by Durrant's attorneys, does
not act as a stay of proceedings. In other
words, the Governor desires that the Su-
preme Court pass upon the opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Fitzgerald,
holding that the proceedings do constitute
a stay Durrant is still in the condemned
cell and until definite orders are received
he will not be moved to other quarters
1t was announced tonight by Governor
Budd who IS at Yosemite, that he will
grant as many respites as necessary to Sc
cure action by the Supreme Court.
