PLEA FOR MERCY REMAINS
DURRANT HOPES FOR COMMUTA-
TION OF SENTENCE.
No Chance of Aid from Federal Courts
No Cause to Justify a Writ of
Error-Plea of Mitigation.

The condition of the Durrant case is
that the verdict and judgment of con-
viction of the murder of Blanche La
mont will stand. Efforts will be made
to transfer the case in some way to
the Federal Courts, but there is not
the smallest likelihood that any such
court will lend itself to proceeding
of the sort, says the Examiner of the
18th.
What then remains? Nothing but a
plea for mercy, a plea in mitigation on
the ground that the verdict is based
on circumstantial evidence. Outside of
suffering fire of dlatory motions
the courts are done with the case. The
prerogative of the Governor to COM
mute the punishment remains, and
that is all that will save Durrant's
neck.
Durrant's guilt was made so clear
that the jury deliberated but twenty
minutes after a trial lasting three
months. but that will not prevent
large numbers of people from signing
petitions for an exercise of executive
clemency. Incorporated with the petit
ton will be cunning plea attacking
the credibility of the witnesses, plea
of the sort which Justice Henshaw re-
buked in the opinion of the Supreme
~ 4
ance will be the supposed danger of
hanging an innocent man on circum-
stantial evidence. The danger is senti-
mental, rather than real, but the SEN
timent has been carefully nursed as
the commercial basis of most detective
novels.
If the murder of Blanche Lamont
stood alone this sentiment might have
more force. There is a certain reluct-
ance to send man to the gallows
when no witness saw him commit the
crime in the absence of a confession,
although there is a very striking in
stance in this State where a man was
hanged on circumstantial evidence
hanged for a crime which he did not
commit with his own hands. Lloyd
l.. Majors was executed in Alameda
county as an accessory before the fact
to the murder of Renowden in Santa
Clara county. Majors did not commit
the murder, but he planned it and was,
of course, equally guilty with the men
who did the deed. Outside of the evil
dence of one of his accomplices who
wanted to save his neck, the case was
wholly circumstantial and was strong
enough without the testimony of his
fellow conspirator, which was of little
weight.

WALES IN AMERICA.
His Memorable Visit to the United States
In 1860.

In 1850.
Stephen Fiske, in recalling "When the
Prince of Wales was in America, writes
in The Ladies' Home journal that on
Sept. II, 1860, he conferred the United
States for the first time, riding to the
American side for a farewell view of Mag
ara. Then, after the usual ceremonies at
Hamilton, the prince crossed to Detroit on
Sept go and became the guest of the peo-
pie Of this repub The Duke of Newcas-
tie had insisted that the prince, as Baron
Renfrew, should be received by the people,
not officially by the government, and this
arrangement was carried out during his
tour. 1t seemed as if all the people, head
ed by the governor of Michigan, had rush
ed to welcome him at Detroit The crowds
were SO dense that the royal party could
not get to their hotel through the main
streets.
"There was a similar crowd at Chicago,
which WAS reached two days later. st.
Louis, where the prince had splendid 70
ception on the fair grounds and opened
the Western Academy of Arts, and Gin
cinnati, where another tremendous crowd
awaited him and he danced all night at
another ball, made the prince glad to get
to the comparative quiet of Washington,
where he was introduced by Lord Lyons
to President Buchanan and Miss Harriet
Lane and was elegantly but privately en-
tertained at the White House +"
Subsequently he visited Richmond,
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and some
other eastern cities, in nearly all of which
he was sumptuously entertained, and was
the guest of honor at receptions, balls, din
ners, etc. On Oct. 90 the prince reem-
barked from Portland, Me-, for England.
Owing to severe storm his ship, Hero,
had been driven out of her course, was sew
eral days overdue, and. her officers and
crew were reduced to scant salt fare. Eng
land was greatly alarmed for the safety of
the young prince and rejoiced when the
Hero finally landed him safe ON his native
shore

That Park Music Protest.

I see in the HERALD of yesterday q
protest against the program for the
concert of Sunday next. What is
wrong about it? II it is disgrace to
play pieces on Sunday it would be q
disgrace to play the same pieces on any
week day. The park is q public place
where all kinds of people of all kinds
of religion assemble to hear the music
of the famous McGinties. Suppose the
bandmaster would play the "Stabat
Mater ''The Massish" and others?
Some would want the pieces rendered
az the dedication of the rebuilding of
the temple at Jerusalem after the cap
tivity, and inidels might want some
thing else. During my service in the
Pontifical Zouaves in Rome we often
had military mass with music. The
bandmsster was German, and what
pieces did he play? Here are some of
them:
'sIch weiz nicht WAS soil es bedeuten,
SIN elnen Kuehlen Grunde," "Scheir
80 Yahre bist du alt, !" "MorRenwroth," I"
aud others. The French, Hollander,
Belgians, Canadians and others did
not understand the titles, but pro-
nounced the music magnificent, and
nobody objected, as they believed With
the Apostle Paul, in anything you do
in eating and drinking do to the honor
of God. Let the baudmaster alone and
if you don't like his music, why, dOun't
listen to it.

The Luetgert Case.

CHICAGO, October 6.-When the
Luetgert murder trial resumed this
morning the prisoner announced in
the most positive terms that he would
| address the jury to make up for bis
failure to take the witness stand.
The prosecution opened its second
inning in the cause celebre by prOduc-
ing evidence to rebute the case of the
defense.
The case this morning gives an ele-
ment of pathetic interest by the
presence of little Elmer, the youngest
son of the prisoner. The little fellow
had not been in the court room for a
mon tn, and when he scram bled over the
chairs and benches to get to his fathers
side, the prisoner grasped him in his
arms and kissed him.
Gordon Clark. the first wi ness, es-
tablished the fact that Luetgert knew
the difference in the various brands of
Hunyadi water, and that Bialk's trips
the to drug store for mineral water on
the night of May 1 were unnecessary
because he had several bottles of water
in the factory.
Dietricht Bicknes, the brother OF
Mrs. Luetgert, and the man who STIR
red up the police, has given up hope
that the state will be able to convict
Luetgert of numbering his wife. 81
do not think Luetgert will be found
guilty." said he during this morning.
81 don't say he is not guilty, but it has
not been shown and can't be. They
haven't enough to work from" He
said the state do IS not expect verdict
of gu lty aud that even q mis-trial
would be surprise,
