Condemned Mans Apparent Faith That He
Was Not Born to Hang.
Mrs. Durrant. the mother Of the pris-
oner. was a passenger on the $3.50 boat
from San Francisco. She was cheerful
on the way over saying that she had
put her faith in God and felt that he
wouldn't desert her. On arrival at the
prison she was informed that her sons
life had been spared and she might see
him later. Thank God" she said.
Then she went to a hotel for rest and
refreshments. At p. m. she returned
to the prison and was admitted to Cap-
tain Edgar's office where her boy was
waiting to meet her. Mrs. Durrant re-
mained with her son in close conversa-
ton for some time. A reporter was
subsequently admitted to the prison Of
flee where Durrant and his mother were
seated on sofa in each others arms.
Durrant had expressed desire tc
make a statement, and in the course Of
an interview said: Naturally was
greatly elated at the news of the re.
prieve. All / could do was to thank
God.
WAS the reprieve a surprise" was
asked.
Not exactly. All along I have had
perfect faith in my God. This after
noon 1 was visited by two Sisters of
Charity and I believe that their PRAYERS
and the prayers of all those who have
interceded for me have been instru-
mental in bringing about this result"
Then Durrant remarked that he could
not understand why Christian people
should beg him in letters to confess.
Il am innocent" he said, "and would
never confess to such vile crime.
Sooner or later the truth will be known.
l have faith that the real perpetrator
will yet be discovered and punished. All
OF these little stays bring us nearer it.
/ know that the Lord will sooner or
later set all things right. shall never
give up the fight. because the Lord is
with me-" he added embracing and
kissing his mother. On Mrs. Durrant's
face was smile of contentment. but
the son looked sad, and his eyes were
dull. He earnestly repeated many times
that faith in God would save him in the
future as in the past
You may say l am innocent" said
Durrant in conclusion. Il will never
yield and God is with me-"
