aEPRIEvE FOR DURRANr.
The Governor will Await Decision by the
Supreme Court.


San Francisco, June 1O.-Theodore
Durrant. it is said, will be reprievd
to-day. Gov. Budd has decided upon
this course in order to settle the ques-
tion of the rights of the Federal courts
to interfere in the execution Of a SEN
tence imposed by the State court. He
has named July 9 as the day upon
which the sentence shall be carried out.
The object of the reprieve, as the at
torney general explained, is to avoid
the necessity of re-sentencing the con-
victed man. If the position taken by
the Governor be supported by the state
Supreme Court the sentence VIII be
carried out on July 9, just as it would
have beep tomorrow but for the habeas
corpus proceedings. The position tax
en- by Governor Budd is that the haoeas
corpus proceedings and the appeal in
cident to the denial Of the writ sued
out by Durrants attorneys does not
act as a stay of proceedings. In other
words. the Governor desires that the
Supreme Court pass upon the opinion
rendered by Attorney General Fitzger-
aid. holding that the proceedings DO
constitute a stay.
Durrant is still in the condemed cell,
and until definite orders are received
he will not be moved to other quarters.
The Governor has stated that it Is
his intention for the law to take It's
course against the murderer Of Blanche
Lamont. This, he said, when he de-
cided not to interfere in behalf OF the
condemned man. Now he says that
the sentence must be carried out or he
must learn that the Federal courts have
the right to interfere with the State
courts in cases such as the one at issue
