that the U. S. Supreme Court has sus-
pended the sentence OF Charles Nord-

preme Court must pass upon his case
before the State authorities can exc.

STILL UNCERTAIN.-A San Fran
cisco dispatch of Wednesday says that
the execution of Theodore Durrant,
the convicted murderer of Blanche
Lamont, may never take place. Two
of the State Board of Prison Directors
in interviews have said they think
Durrant should not be hanged; two
others favor his execution, and the
fifth is non-committal Gov. Budd
declines to say how he will act when
the petition for clemency is presented
to him, but many of his confidential
friends state that the Governor has
privately expressed his belief in Dur
rants guilt. They consider it i'm.
