Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1897-05-06

The effort being made to save Dur.
rant ought to fail. The principle
plea is thai he did not have a fail
trial. A fair trial. in such cases
means a trial that allows a H. murderer
to escape Justice. What kind of a
show did he give Blanche Lamont?
10 say that such a man is innocent is
TO cast dIscredlt on the testimony of a
score or witnesses. Because he as
serts his innocence many people be-
lIeve that he must be. He was ca lcht
In lnnumerable lies ali through the
trial and why should he not continna
lying and Insist on his innocence? In
any other country but this, the mans
neck would be stretched long ago.
1here are other episodes in the life OF
Durrant which were not introduced at
the trial because they formed no part
OF the crime charged, but if the public
put knew OF them there would be no
more sympathy in his behalf.

that Logan Carlisle, who was the
chief clerk, could examine every i'm
portant official letter sent ont by the
treasury while his father was Sacre-
tary, but Secretary Gage couldn't see
that any good purpose was served bv
such a method. so he promptly abo)-
1shed the rule as soon Az his atlanta,
was called to it, as he thinks he has
quite enough to do without attempt-
Ing to sup rvise all the official CORES

Inc above is almost the greatest
charge ever made against a Monarch
