be guilty of murder. If the APP
peal is not from the judgment,
but from an order of the super
Tor court made after a judgment
of conviction has been given and
confirmed, then Durrant may be
legally hanged on June 18th.
The attorneys who represent
Durrant claim their appeal is one
involving the judgment itself.
The prosecution insists that the
judgment is in no way involved,
and that the appeal is simply
from an order of the court. AS
already outlined in the Examiner,
a case in every way similar has
been decided in this state when
when a murderer was hanged
while an appeal from an order of
the superior court was pending
in the supreme court.
Durrant's attorneys are famil-
lar with the case, but they claim
that the lawyers representing
the descendant did not insist upon
their legal rights. Durrant's
representatives freely admit that
if their appeal were granted their
client would gain nothing more
than the dubious privilege of
being again sentenced to death.
While the lawyers claim that in
this appeal the very judgment is
involved, they also admit that in
the state courts they cannot APP
peal from the judgment. Their
own logic involves them in a
contradiction, but they intend to
make the most of the situation.
They have no reason to expect
that the issue will be determined
before June 18th, and if it is not,
they defy Warden Hale to hang
Durrant. AT the same time the
attorneys will attempt to gain
the same point from a different
direction. They have prepared
their appeal to the federal courts,
and early next week they will
present the documents before
the United States circuit court.
Two objects are sought in this
appeal. In the first place it is
hoped that check will be plac-
ed in the state courts, and that
some order staying the execu-
ton may be obtained from the
federal tribunals. If the circuit
court refuses to entertain the APP
peal and decides that no federal
question is involved, an appeal
from this decision will be taken
to the highest court in the ma,
tion.
While all this is in progress,
Governor Budd will be asked tc
commute the sentence of death
to one of life Imprisonment. II
the chief executive will not grant
this request he will be asked to
grant a reprieve until the legal
question now raised may be de-
termined in the courts. If all
these schemes fail, Theodore
Durrant will be hanged for the
awful murder of Blanche Lamont.

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-05-18

The attorneys for Theodore
Durrant have so surrounded the
condemned man with the technic-
al barriers of the law that they
believe the wirden of San Quen-
tin will not dare to execute the
sentence of death on June 18th.
The lawyers representing the
murderer have now but one pur-
pose in view-tbey wish to keep
their client alive until after the
day set by the court for his death.
If that day be passed, the muir
derer of Blanche Lamont will
have to be sentenced again, and
new opportunities for legal quib-
bling will arise to save him from
the gallows. The campai sn of
delay and obstruction, as the at
torneys will conduct it, has at
last been outlined. Some of the
steps in the case have already
been taken.
Eugene Deuprey has again
thrown the murderer into the
state courts, and within q week
he will be before the United
States circuit court. The heavy
machinery of the law has been
set in motion, and the lawyers
declare that it will be moving on
June 18th. They claim it is ut
terly out of the question to deter
mine before June 18th the ques-
tions they have raised, and they
declare that Warden Hale will
not dare to put Durrant to death
before these questions have been
settled in the courts.
If the warden should under
take to carry out the sentence of
death, he would be served with
O notice not to do so. If he
should ignore this notice and
hang Durrant, the attorneys Of
the condemned man declare that
they will arrest the warden for
murder and proceed against his
bondsmen for damages. This in
outline is the plan of the defense,
and it is perhaps interesting that
it does not involve a single issue
relating to the guilt or innocence
of the murderer That question
is left out of consideration. The
attorneys of Durrant are now
using the courts to prevent the
execution of decree of the same
courts.
The campaign in the state tri-
bunals is an involved one. At
torney Deuprey has finished his
bill of exceptions to the order of
Judge Bahrs sentencing Durrant
TO death. District Attorney
Barnes and Mr.. Deuprey will
meet and agree that the bill of
exceptions is correct. This will
be purely formal proceeding
as an agreement in the matter
was reached yesterday afternoon.
The bill of exceptions will then
be printed, and on May 10th will
be filed in the supreme court as
an appeal. The defense claims
that twenty-five days more must
then be exhausted before all the
briefs in the case have been
printed and fled.
Lit will be June 4th one week
before the day set for Durrant's
deatn. Inc defense Will insist
upon an oral argument, and will
ask that the case be taken up in
its regular order. In this way
the attorneys expect to have an
issue pending in the supreme
court of the state on June 18th.
From this point of view it will
be impossible for the APPELLATE to
consider the case before the July
term.
In this phase of the case the
vital question is whether or not
Durrant may be legally hung. II
the appeal is one from the judg-
ment of conviction, it is claimed
that Durrant can not legally be

An average man who should under
take to live on strawberries alone
would have to consume eight-eight
pounds of them in day in order to OBJ
tain a sufficient quantity Of one of the
most important elements of food, pro-
TEN. But while he was getting the
proper amount Of protein from the
strawberries, they would give him sew
en- times too much of another necessary
compound, namely, carbohydrates.
Forty-four pounds Of tomatoes day
would supply nearly the right quantity
and proportion Of protein, carbohy-
drates, and fat, the three most essen
tial constituents Of food. The chief
value of fruit consists in its acids,
which are important to health.

The usefulness of the Senate of Color
ado as legislative body has been Sc
riously menaced, it appears, by the
presence of young and beautiful wom-
en-, and the Senators have been forced
to take drastic measures of self-protec-
ton This action has been precipitated
by the hopeless imbecility of some Of
the more susceptible members and has
taken the form Of absolute Punishment
Of all women from the Senate chamber
When the memorable purpose Of the
solons became apparent an effort was
made to effect compromise on a prom
ise by the women that they would never
enter the Senate unless heavily yelled.
But the Senators who were banded to-
gether to defend their impressionable
associates would not yield to these
tempting Establishments. The decree
was made to include even the women
stenographers who have been wont to
preserve for posterity and others the
oratorical graces Of the Senators. It
looks as If there were some sinister
purpose back Of all this that is not yet
revealed. What is the Senate going to
do Of which it is ashamed?

Matthias Splitlog, the aged chief Of
the Wyandotte Indians, who recently
died at Washington, was noted man
in his day, man Of enterprise and lib
crafty, with shrewd business qualifica-
lions, ard died the wealthiest Indian in
the United States. He belonged to a
Canada tribe, but came to Ohio early,
married Wyandotte, and was adopted
into the tribe. Splitlog was great
stickler for promptness in his business
transactions, and never failed to meet
an appointment at the exact minute.
Some years ago he sold valuable tract
of land in Kansas City, KAN, to syn
dicate for $4,000 and arranged TO
meet the purchasers at a certain hank
at 10 o'clock the next morning to close
the deal. The Indian was on time to
the second, but for some reason two or
three Of the syndicate were few min
utes late. Owing to this lack of pune
tuality Splitlog refused to make the
sale at the price agreed upon, but de-
manded several thousand dollars more
and got it. He declined to accept q
check for the purchase money and in
sisted that every dollar should be paid
in gold, which was done.

Wyoming's game warden is credited
with the statement that the number
Of elk wintering in the Jackson's Hole
country is greater than for many pre-
vious years. A conservative estimate
fixes the number at 10000. They are
on every hill and in every valley, and
the nights sounds are most piteous
from the crying of the calves lost from
their mothers. Every morning thou
sands are seen travelling from the great
swamps along the Snake River to the
eros Ventre hills. The game warden
says: II recently gazed upon a sight
which far surpassed anything that
had ever seen, and it utterly astonished
and amazed me. For a distance of six
miles herd Of elk was stretched out.
The animals had made a trail through
the snow which was packed as hard
as finted ice. I know there were $4,000
head of elk in that band"

In telling Of the children of CEna, the
Rev. S. G. Miner, a missionary in Foo
chow, speaks first Of the boys. One
fourth of the children of the world are
born to Chinese parents, and the god
dess Mother is the most diligently wor-
SHIPPED, so that they all may be boys.
But this is hard thing for even so
great goddess to control, and many
girls are born. When the news of a
birth is announced everybody asks,
just as they do in America, els it a
boy or a girl?" If it is a boy all the
friends of the parents call at once to
offer ngratulations and presents; but
if the baby is girl they extend SYM
pathy. The kindest remark that the
disappointed mother ever hears under
such circumstances is, "Well, a girl is
worth something" Every city has a
baby tower built on it's outskirts, which
is the burying place of infants. Not in
frequently newly-born girl is drown
ed, left on a missionary's doorstep,
thrown into the street, or, before she
stops breathing, Is tossed into this
death-house.
