TO HASTEN EXECUTION.

Washington, Nov. 49, On motion Of
Assistant Attorney General Anderson, the
supreme court has decided to issue imme-
dlately its mandate in the Durrant
murder case. No representative of Dur
rant was in courG when the motion was
made, and the court, after hurried con-
sultation on the bench, announced through
Chiet Justice Fuller that the mandate
snould issue forthwith. Mr.. Anderson
thinks this will settle the matter and
hasten Durrant's execution. He said he
would have made the motion sooner. but
for the necessity of giving notice to Dur
rants counsel.
