they are wearing cutters this season

through the severcst weather. The

NERVE never FAILED HIM
THEODORE DURRANT is HUNG
Met n Painless Death After Making
an AvowaI of InnOcence-His
Fnther Saw the Trap Give Way
40 Hitch or Accident.

When William Henry Theodore Dur
rant died on the gallows at the San QUEEN
tin prison, Cal, on the appointed day
last week for the murder of Blanche La
mont he gave such an exhibition of cool.
ness and nerve as has seldom been seen
under similar circumstances Hopeful al
most to the last that something or some
one would intervene to save him, be
walked to the scaffold this morning and
made his little speech protesting his in
nocence as calmly and with as distinct
enunciation as If he had been addressing
an assemblage of friends upon some or
binary topic of the day. His face was
pale, his eyes were red, but his voice was
firm and he stood as solid as a rock
while he proclaimed his innocence and
professed forgiveness to those who, he
said, had bounded him to death.
There was not hitch or accident to
mar the plans of Warden Hale in carry
ing out the sentence of the law. The
moose was adjusted, the trap was sprung,
the stout rope held, and Durrant's dead
body DANCED at the end. The neck was
broken by the fall of over five feet, and Is
minutes later the murdeTer's body was
cut down and placed in the coffin.

Held Up IA Gambling Hall.

Prescott. AriZ.. Jan. l2-One man has
succeeded in holding up the Palace sa-
loon, gambling place, and, at the point
of pistol, securing all the money in sight.
He terrorized about 20 patrons OF the
place and made his escape with nearly
$500. He is believed to have had an ac-
complice ON the outside and both men are
supposed to have escaped on north
bound train.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1898-01-15

In spite of the exciting events OF last
night, when Durrant was besieged by
newspaper reporters and talked to his
parents till 1870 p. M, he rested easily
during the night, and shortly after e
o'clock he awoke and babe his guards
good morning. Warden Hale had provid-
ed neat suit of dark material in honor
of the occasion and those clothes Durrant
quickly donned. He noticed the absence
of collar and necktie, and knowing full
well the reason for their omission, he ask
ed for them, explaining that a rundown
collar would not interfere with the moose.
Then he sat down to a most excellent
breakfast and ate heartily.
During the early morning hours Dur
rant did not have much to say beyond eX-
pressing a desire that no newspaper men
should be allowed to see him. This re-
quest was complied with.
Embraces Catholicism.
Consistent to the last, Durrant died pro-
Tossing religion. But he died accepting at
the last moment the comforts of the Cath
Ollie church instead of those of the Bap-
fist faith, in which he was reared. Rev.
Raeder, Protestant minister, had ar
ranged to ascend the scat1old with Dur
rant, but the minister would not say that
he thought Durrant innocent, and the
condemned man declined to accept his
services until Raeder protested belief in
his innocence. Then it was that the once
ardent Baptist turned to the Catholic
church for consolation, and called upon
Father Lagan, priest who had visited
him in prison. to attend him. Father La
gan responded promptly and performed
the last solemn rites of the church. Dur
rant remained in close consultation with
the priest and seemed to be deeply inter
ested in the impressive ceremony.
As the hour of execution approached,
the prisoner became somewhat restless.
His father and mother were admitted to
bid him last farewell. The elder Dur
rant grasped his son by the hand, and the
Young man then turned to comfort his
mother, who cried Historically. Durrant
embraced her tenderly, and saying, The
hour has come for us to part, put her
gently away. The grief-stlicken mother
was led to a private room, where she re-
NAMED until after the execution. The
father however, went to the execution
room and, supported by two friends, saw
his son meet his death.
Warden Hale did not attempt to hurry
matters, but allowed all possible time for
the supreme court at Washington to take
some action. Finally, when word was
flashed across the continent that the SUI
preme court had declined to interfere, the
warden ordered the program OF the day
to be carried out.
Procession to the GalIOws.
At 1884 o'clock Durrant, accompanied
by Father Lagan, appeared at the door OF
the execution room. He was followed by
his father, friend, Warden Hale and the
guards. The father and his friend walked
around the gallows to the front, while

The doctors, however, were permitted
to 90 forward. where they felt the pulse
and finally decided that Dulrant was
dead. In Just IL minutes and % seconds
all SIGNS of life had vanished and the
most noted criminal of the nineteenth
century was officially dead. The body was
allowed to hang for Is minutes when 1t
was cut down and placed in black coffin

Durrant and his keepers climbed to the
gallows platform. Instantly on arriving
at the gollows his legs and arms were
pinioned and the rope was placed upon his
neck The hangman was about to adjust
the black cap when Durrant announced
his desire to speak. Permission was given.
and the doomed murderer spoke as fol
lows:
Died Protesting Innocence.

an innocent man, innocent of every crime
that has been charged against me, bear
no animosity toward those who have per-
secuted me, not even the press of San
Francisco, which bounded me to the

spring sensation-I am not, except it is
sensation to say that | am ar innocent
man brought to the grave by my persecu-
tors, but | forgive them all. They will
all get their justice from the great God,
who is master Of us all, and there | also
expect to get justice that is justice to an
innocent man.

the crime of which am charged are dis
covered, it will make no difference to me
now-but | say this day will be shame
to the great state of California. for
give everybody who has prosecuted me
an innocent man whose hands have never
been stained with blood, and 90 to meet
my God with forgiveness for all men,
Then the Drop Was Sprung.
The words were delivered slowly and
distinctly and without emphasis. The
eager crowd of spectators grouped closer
to the wooden framework that they might
not lose a word of what was being said.
Not IA sound could be heard except the
even tones of the man about to die. Dur
rant finished quickly and had scarcely
ceased when the black cap was placed
over his face. At the same instant Hang
man Lunt raised his hand, the trap was
sprung and with a rattle Dunant's body
shot through the opening. There was a
sound as of a stout rope drawn taut and
brokennecked criminal swayed to and
fro for a moment, when the body be
came motionless. The crowd surged for
ward. but the warden's voice was heard
to eXclaim: "Stand back"
