much pleased with the decision. He is
convinced that Durrant committed the
murder and has chafed at the delay in
carrying out the sentence. Nir. Barnes
says that Durrant would not have to be
resentenced. He said that all that was
necessary would be for the district at
torney when he received official notice of
the decision, to go into court and ask
for an order to proceed with the execu-
ton and that a day be fixed for it.
The decision of the Supreme court has
paved the way for the execution Of five
other murderers, who have been SEN
fenced to death. but whose execution has
been deferred pending the decision of the
Durrant case. Among these are Train
wrecker Werden. Harvey Allender of
San Jose and Ebanks Of San Diego. who
butchered an aged couple.
Durrant's parents were notified this
morning of the courts decision, and were
deeply affected. Mrs. Durrant wept. but
said her son was Innocent and that she
did not yet give up hope that he would
be vindicated and his innocence proved
District Attorney Barnes stated that
the only thing the attorneys for Durrant
could do now was to appeal from the
order of the Supreme court, but that he
thought they would not try this, as they
were sure to fail.
