Washington, Nov. 8. - The United
States supreme court affirmed the de-
cision of the circuit court of Cali
fornia refusing writ of habeas cor
pus TO William Henry Theodore Dur
rant, under sentence of death for the
murder of Miss Blanche Lamont, in San
Francisco, in April, 1895. The case has
attracted attention throughout the
whole of the United States. and this de-
cision permits the law TO take its course
with the condemned man. Chief Jus
tice Fuller announced the courts con
clusion, but made no remarks in do
ing so, save to cite few authorities on
which the court based its decision.
