NEW TRIAL DENIED.
SUPREME COURT REFUSES DUR
RANTS APPLICATION.
Chief Justice Beatty Alone Dissents
From the Observation-Disclosures
Attorneys, However, Have Not
Exhausted Their Resources.

San Francisco. March 3.-W. H. T.
Durrant, convicted of the murder of
Blanche Lamont in Emmanuel church on
April 3, 1895, was denied a new trial in
a decision handed down by the supreme
court of California.
Chief Justice Beatty alone dissents from
the decision. Much of the opinion, which
IS very lengthy, is devoted to disposing
of technical points raised by the defense
Regarding the credibility of witnesses,
the court holds that is a matter for the
jury alone to determine. The court re-
views the evidence against Durrant and
deems it legal and sufficient evidence
unon which TO base the verdict Finally
tie court holds that the proof of an I'M
DERIVING motive for the crime is not es-
sential. 1t is understood the attorneys
for Durrant have not yet exhausted their
resources in his behalf. and propose to
carry the case to the United States su-
preme court. If this action is taken Dur
rant may escape the gallows for an in
definite period.

on his Inauguration as president he
will again wear his college fraternity

though similar in general design, is
more elaborate and costly. and is the
gift of the fraternity at large. The
