Another Durant Case.

Every reader will remember the Du-
rant murder case, his trial and convic-
ton for the murder of two young women
in church in San Francisco few years
ago. Every one was firmly convinced of
Durant's guilt. He was duly convicted,
sentenced and hanged on circumstantial
evidence. About year later the pastor
of the church where the crime was COM
mitted became i'll and died. Before his
death he made statement, confessing he
murdered the two young women and that
Durant was innocent Of the crime I'm
agine the feelings of the judge, the jury,
the lawyers and sheriff who executed
young Durant. They will always hear
his last words: Il am innocent of the
murder of Blanche LaMont and Minnie
Williams. Oh, the horror of cutting off
young man in the morning of his life,
and yet you hear of such cases only too
often. James NJ. Martin has written a
strong story on the text, 'Circumstantial
Evidence" which will be seen in Mount
Holly in the near future.

Political Notes.

One by one the roses fall. Dick Lip
pincott has declined to run on the Demo
cratic ticket for the office of coroner This
leaves three names on the ticket at pres
ent
The Democratic executive committee
was in session on Saturday. The vacan-
cies on the ticket caused much discussion,
but at the hour of adjournment nothing
had been done to remedy the matter.
In case of vacancies on a ticket the law
provides that they may be filled by COM
mittee appointed by the convention for
that purpose. The Democratic conven-
ton did not follow that provision. A mo-
ton was made to appoint such com
mittee but the chairman ruled it out on
the ground that ''it was the prerogative
of the central committee to perform that
duty" The persons who fill the vacan-
cies will be required to make affidavit
that they were appointed by the conven
ton for that purpose.
There is mistaken idea about the
question of coroner assuming control in
case of death of the sheriff. Many think
the senior coroner is the person, but the
law says the coroner or either of them"
shall serve writs and perform other func-
tions of the sheriff's office. In this county
the work would be done by the coroner
selected by the person in interest. The
court would probably designate the one
to act in judicial matters. The import
ance of having efficient coroners is APP
parent. Those on the Republican ticket
are all right.

ceeded to show the transfers Of

veloped the fact that he receives $35 a
month rent from some Makiki proper

er point brought up as to the applica-
ton of the points of exceptions raised,
