DURRANT APPEAL CASE.
Not Likely to be Decided Until the
End of the Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-The Su-
preme Court of California has handed
down no decision on the appeal of
Theodore Durrant, found guilty of the
murder of Blanche Lamont, twenty
one months ago. 1t is understood the
appeal has not yet been been consid-
cred by the Supreme Justices, but
many attorneys believe that the Jus
tees will grant Durrant a new trial.
So many important civil cases have
precedence over the Durrant case that
it is said a decision will not be handed
down before the end of the year.
In an interview to-day Durrant ex-
pressed his sympathy with murderer
Butler, because the newspapers are
bounding him." as he said. Durrant
expresses his belief in Buffers inno-
cence.
