YET TWO MORE MOVES.


Attorneys for Murderer Durrant slightly
D.sconcerted, hut still Undismayed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. Although
the attorneys for W. II. T. Durrant,
the condemned murderer of Blanche
Lamont, were considerably discon-
certed by the denial of their applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus and
permission to appeal therefrom in the
United States circuit court yesterday,
they have yet two more moves, by
means of which they hope to prevent
the execution of their client on
Friday next. These are to appeal
to the governor for reprieve, and
TO apply to the supreme court of
the United States for an appeal
from the circuit court decision denying
the petition for writ of habeas cor
pus. Attorney l.. p Boardman, who
left here on Saturday last, was expect
ed to reach Washington last night and
will probably make the latter applica-
ton to-day. While little reliance is
being placed upon the governor, strong
pressure is being brought to bear upon
him in behalf of the condemned muir
derer, and no stone is being left un.

Ing.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Jan. g. On the aft
davit of William S. Foley, who has
been sentenced to hang February Is,
1898, Judge Broaddus yesterday grant
ed him an appeal to the supreme court.
Motions for new trial, and next for
an arrest of Judgment, had already
been made by Attorney Dougherty and
overruled' Dougherty stated among
other things as grounds for his mo-
tions that James A. Courtney, D. M. Hall
and A. j. Kelsey, of the jury, were
incompetent having prejudged the
case; that the court had erred in adj
hitting and excluding testimony, in
proceeding with the trial on the first
day of January, legal holiday, and
in failing to ask defendant, before
sentencing him. if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed
upon him.
The Judge said that the only
important question raised by the
motion was concerning the trial
having been held on New
Years day. Judge Broaddus said,
after allowing the appeal, that the
law was such that the appeal acts as a
stay of execution and that no record
entry or stay would be necessary.
