ONE MORE APPEAL.
Durrant's Lawyers Again Go tn rhe
Supreme Court.

San Francisco, May 22-Theodore
Durrant's attorneys, having exhausted
every other means TO save the neck of
their client, have again appealed To
the supreme court, this time basing
their motion for IA stay of execution
upon alleged errors upon the part OF
Judge Bahrs, ut the time of his pass
ing sentence upon the convicted muir
derer. The main point relied upon by
counsel for the appellant is thai Judge
Bahrs refused to giant Durrant's mo-
ton for a postponemcnt of his SEN
tcnce of his offering additional testi-
mony. 1t is also claimed that the
court erred in having ordered that
Durrant he confined at San Quentin I'M
til the date set for his execution. The
authorities are confident that the ap-
peal will not interfere with the cxecu-
ton.
