run via Stateline, Deerlodgo ana
Phoebe on to DeLamar, shortening
both Distance and time and cutting
out two present routes, one running
from Phoebe to Spring Valley, or

District Attorney Barnes of San.
Francisco will make no further
move in the Durrant case until the
Attorney General has acted. Under

General has control of all criminal
cases when appealed to the Supreme

that in re-sentencing Durrant be
wonld give him sixty days at least in
which to prepare for death, and this
indicates that Durrant, if executed
at all, will not be 30 until early
spring.
