CRIMINAL
Will Make Another Trial.
Durrants Attorneys Fighting Hard
to Save His Neck

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 3.-Des-
pite the fact that his petition for a
writ of habeas corpus in the United
States district court bad been denied
10y Judge Hawley, and that Judge
Gilbert denied a similar petition on
behalf of Durrant, the attorney for
Salter d. Wordeu will attempt to Sc
cure such a writ in the circuit court
and will also apply for leave to appear
in the circuit court of appeals and to
the supreme court of the United
States.
WRIT REFUSED.
Murderer Durrant's first effort to
gain a respite by appealing to the fed
eral courts has failed, United States
Circuit Judge Gilbert having refused
IN secure a writ of habeas corpus, for
which his attorney applied. Notice
of intention to appeal to the United
States supreme court was filed and the
application for leave to appeal will be
made formally. This, however, may
he refused as in the Butler case, al
though Durrant's attorneys are con-
fident that leave will be given.
ARRANGEMENTS.
There will be 200 invitations issued
for the execution Of DuTrant. War
den Hale has fixed 10:30 a. m. as the
hour of execution. Twenty-Five med
ical men will be permitted to witness
the tragedy. At the request Of his
attorneys Durrant yesterday made a
formal demand for release, claiming
to be unjustly imprisoned. This will
be part of the appeal to the supreme
court, and is to cover the point which
might be made that by failing to pro-
test and demand his release he had
lost the right to complain.
The appeal raises a point which, ac-
cording to the statement of Durrant's
counsel, has never been raised in this
state and must be decided before Dur
rant can be hanged. The contention
is that Judge Bahrs inflicted two pen
alties imprisonment and death
while the law says one or the other.
Counsel Will hold 'tbat Durrant IS
life in San Quentin is not detention,
but Imprisonment; that the position
of the Encouragement is untenable,
as life in the county jail carries with
it no shaving, stripes and no indignity
other than detention.
This statement will also be heard in
the federal court where it is expected
that the same course will be taken as
in the Worden case-that of securing
a writ of habeas corpus.
