Durrnnt's Atrocious Crime.
William Henry Theodore Durrant. who
Quentin Friday, gave his life in exchange
for the lives of two young women who
we're members OF the church to which he
belonged. While Durrant was convicted
of but one murder under the law, he was
held responsible by public opinion for the
murder of both Blanche Lamont and Min
ME Williams. and IL is felt that his death
expiates one crime as much as the other.
Blanche Lamont disappeared on April

The hangman was about to ADJUST the
black cap, when Durrant announced his
desire 10 speak. Permission was given
and the doomed murderer spoke briefly,
in quiet tones, asserting his innocence
and forgiving those who had prosecuted
him. mentioning especially the press Of
san Francisco. His last words were:
II am innocent" The words were de-

Mr.. VERNON AvENUE.-The county
authorities have determined to extend
Mt Vernon avenue from its present
terminus in Jefferson district to the
corporation line. The proposed plan
IS to construct the road to Il point OF
the northwestern suburbs. 1t has been
suggested by City Treasurer Harlow
Who is Interesting himself in the mat
Ter, that this plan be changed so as to
build the read to connect with Wash,
ington street. Then it is suggested
that the city would Improve Washing
ion street, make it q part Of Mt. Yer
aon avenue and grade that street to
Che north end of the electric rall%sg
bridge over Hunting creek. Then tbs
railroad company would be asked to
relay passageway on that bridge ana
when sll this is done the Fairfax
county authorities will be urged to
lake up the matter and extend ths aye
nue toward Mt. Vernon. With this
start Congress would then be petition
ed to take charge of the matter and
construct national boulevard connact'
ing Washington city with MI. VeFnop

posed by the Mt. Vernon Avenue AS
