JUST A. EXPECTED.
Only Ones at Frisco that Had Hope We're
Durrant and Attorneys.

San Francisco. Nov. S.-The news that
the United States supreme court had de-
cided not to interfere with the execution
of Theodore Durrant spread quickly over
the city. today. The decision of the su-
preme court was not unexpected here,
and apparently only Durrant and his at
;orneys seemed to have any hope that the
murderer would be saved from the gal
lows.
District Attorney Barnes. who conduct
ed the sensational trials. says that Dur
rant will not have to be re-sentenced. He
said that all that was necessary would be
for the district attorney, when he re-
ceived official notice of the decision,
to go into court and ask for an order to
proceed with the execution and that a day
be fixed for it.
DurraEt's parents were notified. this
morning. of the courts decision and were
deeply affected.
District Attorney Barnes said that the
only thing that the attorneys for Durrant
could do was TO appeal from the order OF
the supreme court. but that they would
rot try this, as they were sure to fail.

in the Nebraska maximum freight rate
case which had been confidently ex-
pected, today. There has been assur-
ance felt in Wall street circles that the
verdict in this case would be favorable
to the railroads. The news of the post
ponement led to the circulation of ru-
mors that the verdict would affirm the
validity of the contested statute. This
rumor induced much selling.
Special weakness was induced also
in the Coalers by the very discouraeinp
reports of the condition Of that indus
try due to over-productiOn, cutting of
prices and the persistent mild weather.
There was not lacking the stock Span

ing factors did not begin to be felt un-
til some slight improvement over Sat
