When William Henry Theodore Dur-
rant died on the gallows Friday morn
ing, at San Quentin, Cal. for the mur-
der Of Blanche Lamont, he gave such
an exhibition Of GOODNESS and nerve as
las seldom been seen under similar
circumstances. Hopeful almost to the
very last minute that something or
someone would intervene to save him,
he walked to the scaffoid and made his
little speech, protestiug his innocence,
as calmly and with as distinct enuncia-
tion as if he had been addressing an
assemblage Of friends npon some ordi-
nary topic OF the day. His fnce was
pale, his eyes were red. bnt his voice
was as firm and he stood as solidiy as
rock while he proclaimed bis innocence
and proffered forgiveness to those
who, he sail, had bounded him to
death.
There was not hitch or an accident
to mar the plans Of Warden Hale, in
carrying out the sentence of the law.
The moose was adjusted, the trap was
sprung, the stout rope held and Dur
rants dead body dangled at the end.
The neck was broken by the fall of five
feet, and fourteen minutes later the
murderer's body was cut down and
placed in the coffin.
In spite OF the exciting events of
Thursday night, when Durrant was be-
sieged by newspaper reporters.
he talked to his parents un
til 1880 pm. He rested easily
during the night, and shortly af-
ter 6 o'clock he awoke and bade his
guards good morning Warden Hale
had provided suit OF new clothes OF
dark material in honor of the occasion,
and these clothes Durrant quickly
donned. He noticed the absence OF
collar and necktie, however, and
knowing full well the reason for their
omission, be asked for them, explain
ing that turn-down collar would not
interfere with the moose. Then he sat
down to most excellent breakfast and
ate heartily. During the early morn
ing hours Dnrrant did not have much
to say, beyond expressing desire that
no newspaper men should he allowed
to see him. This request was complied
with.
Consistent to the last. Dnrrant died
protesting religion. He accepted, at
the last moment, the comforts OF the
| Catholic Church, instead OF those OF
the Baptist faitn in which he was
reared. Rev. RAIDER, q Protestant
minister. had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant, but the minister
would not say he thought Durrant in
nocent and the condemned man de-
| clined 70 accept his services, unless the
reverend gentleman professed belief in
| b;s ;nnocence.
II was a sad day not only for Dur
rant but for eight other murderers,
who are confined In san Ouentin and
whose fate depended upon the success
,naaa III the efforts of Durrent's attor-
nava IN his behalf. They were all pre-
naraa a fol1ow the same tactics for de-
| iav Init now that the courts have
shown that Il is possible to hang a

on Thursday and Friday nights OF
last week were first. class in every
particular. and were entitled to a
much better patronage than they
received. "rhe Merchant of Ven

who heard DR.. Nourse's lecture on
the same subject were highly
pleased, but those who heard it and
saw the play by Dvorak say DR..
Nourse was completely "aid in the
shade" and that was saying a great
deal.
