DuRRANT MURDER CASE.
Pardon Will he Asked for on the
Ground That the Real MUIR
derer Has COnfessed.


San Francisco, Calf, May 14.-Theo-
dore Durrant, through his attorneys, will
ask Governor Budd today to pardon him
on the ground that the real murderer OF
Blanche Lamont has at last confessed
his crime. The lawyers declare that they
have not been hoaxed nor is it their pur.
pose to impose upon the executive. They
insist that in the person of John Rosen.
berg, convict at the San Quentin prison,
they have discovered the man who Is
guilty of the horrors Of Emmanuel
church.
John Rosenberg has made sworn con-
fession before a notary public and in the
presence of several witnesses that he
killed Blanche Lamont at the instiga-
ton of a stranger and in consideration
of the payment of 800 for his bloody
work. 1t is with this sensation that the
attorneys will strengthen their case at
Sacramento today. The story and it's de-
tails is one of the most remarkable that
has developed in the long case.
Rosenberg is a Russian sailor, and ar
rived in this city on a sailing vessel from
Hamburg, Germany, during the last
week of March, 1895, or on the first day
of April He IL now serving a term for
horse stealing and appears to be sane.

WILL PROTECT HIS PRISONER.
The Sheriff of Hill County warns O
Prospective Mob.

Hillsboro. Tex, May 13.-(Special)-
Sheriff Bell received telegram from
Constable w. A. Aubrey of Aquilla to.
day, stating that the pistol had been
found with which it is alleged that Glen
Pauley was killed at Lebanon last Sat
urday night, together with other evil
dence.
A report reached Sheriff Bell this even
ing of clever plan to mob Hedrick
when he is carried out on the 21st inst.
for his examining trial. The plan, as
he heard il, is to crowd around the pris-
oner, seize the officers and bind them
while the mob hangs Hedrick. When it
was reported to Sheriff Bell he said, with
emphasis: eff they undertake it, some
body is going to get killed, for will pro-
tect Hedrick with my life while he is in
my. charge. I will shoot any man that
makes break towards him. If they
mob him they will have to kill me first. I
am dead in earnest about this and mean
what I say" flg. 81
There will probably be an effort made
to get the examining trial changed to
Hillsboro. but if it is not, Sheriff Bell will
escort Hedrick, with guard of picked
and determined deputies, and if there is
an attempt made to take him there is
likely to be several people killed.

RAD STATE OF AFFAIRS
Exists in the Upper Congo Districts
| According to a Missionary.

London, May 13.-A representative of
the Associated Press had an interview to-
day with Rev. Mr.. Sjoblom of the Ameri-
can Baptist mission in the Upper Congo,
who has just returned to London. He
said:
"When left in February matters in
the Upper Congo were as bad as ever.
The commission the king of Belgium ap-
pointed to inquire into the atrocities
committed, the victims being natives, has
had almost no result. The officials are
indisposed to act on missionary evidence,
and only few cases of barbarity were
punished. The iniquitous rubber traffic
continues. When the natives are unable
to obtain rubber the state troops burn the
|, villages. murder the natives and cut of
! their hands, which are afterwards smoked
and sent to the state officials. Parts OF
the Equotorsville district are in a state
of open warfare"

the Rev. Sjoblom will be made question
