| Especial to Times -Mountaineer.
San Quentin, Cal. Jan. 7.-Theodor
Durrant was hanged at. 1875 thi
morning In the state penitentiary. 81
ascendcd the scaffold calmly, accom-
panied by Father Logan, Catholic
priest, he having been baptized int
the Catholic Church earlier in the
day. He maintained the stoacism tina
has characterized his actions from the
time he was first arrested, meetiag hi,
fate as one would welcome a respite
from a long mental suspense.
On reaching the scaffold Durrant
made brief speech asserting his inn
cence, and forgiving all those who
took part in his prosecution. Wh"n
the trap was sprung the murderer's
DO ly shot down through the opening
in the floor. and he died without q
struggle, his neck being broken by
the fill. In II minutes he was cut
dowa. and the attending physician
pronounced life extinct.
As the condemned man stood on the
scaffCld he showed no signs If weaken
ing, and was brave to the last. Had
he been going forth to the world and
liberty be would have exhibited no
more emotion. In fact he was perhaps
the coolest and most self possessed of
any present.
After bis arms and feet had been
pinio ,ed, he was asker if be had any.
thing to say. In a clear, calm, dis
tinct voice he said:
"I desire to say that although am
an innocent man, innocent of every
crime that has been charged against
me, have no aninosity toward those
who have prosecuted me, not even the
press of San Francisco which has
bounded me to the grave. If any man
thinks am going to spring a sensa.

It is sensation to proclaim that am

When he ceased speaking the black
ap was drawn over his face by the
ficer in charge. and in another sec.
nd Theodore Durrant was no more.
Durrant's father was with him to the
ast, standing at tho foot of the gal.

Possible Evils Should the Demurrer in the Jarman-Rea Case Be

SAN JOSE, Oct. 1.-Attorney Delmas ar gued all day Friday in the JarmanzRea islander case. He finished shortly before adjournment, after talking for one and a half days. Attorney Morehouse then opened his argument in favor of sustain ing the defendants demurrer A few adjourned until Tuesday morning, at which time he will proceed.
 Delmas' argument was strong and con- yincing He said that if the demurrer were sustained and Jarman had no cause of action it would let bars down for every gang slanderer to make house to house canvass at the forthcoming election and maliciously attack the reputation of re- spectable candidate.
 The outcome of: the argument on the demurrer is watched with interest. Ii the demurrer is sustained 1t means dis. missal of the case.

Special Correspondence of The Call.

or near the unrepresented claims and tomorrow will see the driving Of a forest of stakes all through the mining
 district and a tremendous rush upon
 the Gold Commissioners office, which
 will probably be congested for weeks to come with applicants for recording.
 So great has become the general dis
 gust at the mismanagement and evil dent corruption in the Gold Comnlis-
 stoner's office that I hear of move ment being talked of looking to the pre- ferment of charges of bribery against every one connected with it.. The men
 active in revolt are all of them Eng lishmen, Canadians and Australians, the latter being the leaders and by far
 the most outspoken in denunciatfon of
 the methods and mismana cement of
 the office at this time. Gold Commis- Sioner FaWcett is almost universally acquitted of being a party to fraud or corruption, but there is little charity for him on that account inasmuch as it is allowed such license under his eyes. Fawcett acts the part of clerk in his own office and when not engaged in | hearing contests of claims is found standing at desk and issuing miners certificates or making record of claims
 at $10 and $15 a head. He certainly
 earns his salary if merely putting in the full time in his office day by day does that. Many charge the irreguIari-
 ties of his office to this fact, declaring
 that he is so busy with small affairs
 that he is unable to see what is so clear
 to everybody else. - Prosecuting Attorney Wade has, per-
 haps, of. all the high officials of the out going administration, been most direct ly and personally criticized as having fathered or been interested in many of
 the monopolies and rings that have
 worked to the great harm of the free CD miner. The day before he took the steamer for the outside he attacked a young newspaper man, Leroy Pelatier Canadian, for having written too
 freely concerning him to his home
 paper. Pelatier was called upon to
 withdraw his statements, refused and
 was knocked down and badly beaten.
 Wade is as big fellow as Pelatier is
 slight. The sffair took place in the
 warehouse of the N. A. T. Company,
 and was evidently prearranged by
 Wade, the editor of friendly paper being present by invitation.
 Among the many petty annoyances
 to which the people at large are sub
 jected is the lack of sufficient clerical
