the legislature they believe Gov.
Leedy will call during the winter.
The brewers decided it costs too much
to run their business in Kansas under
the prohibitory laws. The worm has
turned, and the brewers claim it is
better and cheaper to make final
stand and get some hocus pocus action
of the legislature that will unsettle
the law, than to continue doing bust

A RESPITE FOR DURRANT.

California Supreme Court Authorizes An
other Delay In the Famous Murder Gaze.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l2.-Theodore
Durrant was not hanged at San QUEEN
tin to-day after all, the supreme court
Of this state having granted him an
other respite at the eleventh hour. Up
to four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when the news flashed over the wires
from Sacramento that the court, now
In session there, had granted writ Of
probable cause, and instructed Warden
Hale not to carry out the execution Of
Durrant until further orders, there
was apparently no further hope for the
condemned murderer. The stay was
granted upon the following grounds:
That no official knowledq Of the action Of
the supreme court Of the United States in the
matter Of Durrant's appealing from the de-
cision Of the federal court, had yet been re-
celved; that the superior court had acted too
hastily in sentencing Durrant to be hanged to-
day, as the law required that he be given at
least 90 days grace. and, thirdly, that the
tendency Of an appeal in the supreme court
affecting the condemned was Of itself sufficient
cause for stay Of execution.
Durrant was greatly elated over the
news Of the respite. and said he could
not understand why Christian people
should beg him in letters to confess.
II am innocent" he said, land would
never confess to such vile crimes.
Sooner or later the truth will be
known. have faith that the real
perpetrator will yet be discovered and
punished. All Of these little stays
