FORGED DEED.
Strange Controversy in San Francisco
Court

San Francisco. June Am alleged for
ged deed formed the subject Of judicial
inquiry in Judge Hunts department OF
the superior court yesterday. The trial
was sensational from the fact that II
drew from one witness a virtual confess
sion OF forgery. ard from another wit
ness direct confession Of perjury.
The controversy before Judge Hunt in
wolves the ownership OF a lot on Lyon
street The property formerly belonged
to Catherine J. Wallace. 1t subsequen y
passed into the possession of Wallace uh-
der a deed purporting to have been exc
cuted by his mother on December 9,
six days before her death. The deed is
now attacked as a forgery by jeremiah
Shelley. who sues administrator Of Mrs.
Wallace's estate. The deed was acknowl-
edged by Eugene B. Nc Manus bsfore
Notary Public Thomas NJ O'Brien. Some
months ago the depositions of McManus
and his wife were taken. McAIanus
swore that he drew up the deed and his
wife swore that she was present when
Mrs. Wallace made her mark. When
Mrs. McManus testified she repudia.ed
every statement contained in her depo-
sitlon because Notary o'Brien told her
that II she refused to do so she would be
sent to San Quentin
Eugene B. McManus testified that he
drew the deed up at the instance of Wal
lace some days after the funeral OF the
lat'ers mother.
Il signed her name TO it," he testified.
The charges made by Mrs. NIcManus
are fatty denied by Notary O'Rricu,
who swears that he never saw the
woman. The notary also fatty contra
diets McManus.

DURRANT BREAKING.
And There Is Much Rejoicing in San
Quentin Thereat.

San Francisco. June S.-Theodore Dur
rant seems to be breaking down. A mem
ber Of the death watch was seated at his
side last night looking down upon him
as he tossed and tumbled in restless sleep.
The warden was at once notified Of the
change in Durrant's demeanor. Orders
were issued to increase the death watch
and to maintain the vigil with greater
care than before.
Captain Edgar commanded that
guard be stationed every minute of the
day and night in the cage with the
condemned man. Whatever Durrant may
do, the eyes of the guard will be on him
Three men will watch with him until
he dies on the gallows.
Durrant's father carried to the con-
demned man yesterday the news that the
United States district court had denied
the writ of habeas corpus and that the
next fight for life must be made at Wash
ington before the supreme court.
A special messenger will hurry across
the continent but he cannot reach Wash
ington before next Wednesday. He will
have the greatest good fortune Il he
receives an audience from the supreme
court that day. 1t is probable that a
hearing win not be granted before Thurs
day of next week and on the following
day Durrant must die il the national
tribunal does not exert its authority
The elder Durrant wept as he told his
son the story. but he bade the con-
demned man be of good cheer ami
not to lose heart until the last hope is
gone. If the journey is made without
accident a return staying the execution
may be served by telegraph on the war
den. The son said he would be brave

DURRANT'S LIFE
IS PROLONGED
His Attorneys Confident His EXecu-
tiOn Viii BE Deferred.
SUPREME COURT TO HEARCAsE
Statute Authorizing the Appeal Acts as
ipso iseto Stay Of Proceedings
Precedent HAS Been Set

San Francisco. June 3.-Durrants attor-
neys now believe that they have positive
~ postponed the execution OF their client
until the United States Supreme Court
can give them a hearing. II is true their
petition for a writ OF habeas corpus mas
been denied, but from this order Of 3e-
nial they claim to have an appeal rs u
matter Of right and they declare that the
statute authorizing the appeal acts ipso
facto as stay Of proceedings under the
judgment Of the state court until the
appeal is finally determined. In tnat
case It is lmmaterial whether the court
grants a supersedeas or not.
In some sense they have a precedent
on which to base this confidence in the
action OF Judge Hawley, who allowed an
appeal In the Worden case to the United
States Circuit Court OF Appeals, the petit
ton in that case having been filed IN
the district court. but denied a super
sedeas leaving worden to whatever pro-
lection from hanging the federal statutes
acting as stay may give him.
Durrant's attorneys expect a similar
order to be entered by the circuit court
this morning when they perfect their ap-
peal That is, they expect the appeal
to be allowed as a matter OF right, but
do not expect the court to formally
grant = supcrsedeas They know that
the supreme court has adjourned until
October, and assert that the filing of an
appeal will at least postpone the execu-
ton that long.
The contention OF the attorneys l.
based on section 766 OF the revised stat
utes, 1t is asserted that Attorney GEN
eral Fitzgerald will advise wardens .1une
and Hale that If they hang either wor.
den or Durrant under present conditions
they will be guilty OF judicial murder
He will render an opinion today IN he
Worden case.
Judge Carroll Cook expressed the opin-
ion last night that the appeal to the
supreme court would act as stay OF
execution. Congressman Mcguire has
asked Governor Budd to grant a respite
In Worden's case until newly discovered
evidence can be presented.

to settle in the South Seas, and they
were refused a landing on any of the

San Francisco. June 5-The attorneys

writ Of supersedeas for the purpose Of
staying execution Of sentence. but this

persedeas this order Of the court acts
as stay Of proceedings. Attorney Tt.z-
gerald wired to Warden Hale to take

peal TO the United States Supreme Codrr.

4 DIsPENsARY FOR HENDERSON.
A Number Of Citizens Here Yesterday to
Ask it's Establishment.

The proposition to establish Dispen-
sary for Vance county, located at Hen
derSOn, creates great interest Quite a
delegation from Henderson was here yes
teTday and appeared before the PrOposi-
tiOns and Grievances committee Of the
Senate in reference to the dispensary
Those in favor of the dispensary were:
Messrs. T. 7. Hicks, 4. NJ, Pittman.
Capt. w. B. Shaw, A. J. Harris. Dr.
II. II. Harris, DR. w T. Cheatham, J. II.
Moss, chairman of the board of county
commissioners; J. II. Houghteling. county
commissioner; ID. w. Hardee and J. Y.
Eaton, a colored attorney, and others.
Speeches were made before the commit
tee by Capt. Shaw. Mr.. Hicks, Mr.. Pitt
man, Mr. Harris and Attorney J. Y.
Eaton (coI), county attorney.
Thos opposed to it were w II. Smith.
sheriff of the county; w. II. Reavis (cOl
iailor of the county; S. S. Written. J. J.
LochIen, VIII Whitten and others
Mr.. J. II. BTidgers, attorney for those
opposed to the dispensary. was unable
to be presente and make his argument be-
fore the committee and at request of the
opponents of the measure consideration
was postponed 1t will be heard by the
committee next Tuesday night.
In the argument before the committee,
Mr. Hicks said that so per cent Of the
property owners Of the county were in
favor of the establishment of a dispen-
sary. The commissioners of Vance coun-
ty have refused to grant license to any
applicant who has applied and Judge
Robinson decided this week that he could
not require the commissioners to issue
license until the issues of fact raised by
the answers of the board should be tried
by jury at next term of court. There
is not bar-rOom now open in Henderson.
and the saloon men are kept busy fight
ing for license in the courts and fighting
against n dispensary law before the
Legislature. There is also proposition
to hold an election in Vance county to
adopt the local option law With all
these matters pending it may be said that
the Henderson people have enough to
think about, and almost as many sides
as could be desired
The opponents of the dispensary have
retained j. NJ. Moody, Esq, the Repub-
hcan lawyer, who as State Senator from
Haywood, secured the passage of a dis
pensary for his own county 1t has been
a success IN Haywood and it is funny
that its opponents in Henderson should
hire a Haywood lawyer, who secured the
passage of the law for his own county,
TO oppose it for another county.
