TRIAL OF DURANT

On GOOu Friday nlSnt, m 1S95, Theodore Durant enticed two girls into the Emanuel Baptist church in San Francisco and murdered them. The mutilated body of Minnie Will Hams was discovered in the library of the church on April 13, and the Lamont was discovered in the belfry of the. church. It was evidently the work of the same murderous hand, and Durant, being at once suspected of both crimes, was placed under ar rest.
 The girls were members of the Emanuel church, and were twenty ore years of age and pretty. Both had been receiving attentions from Durant who was the librarian of the church. Miss Lamont had .disap- peared on April 3, and d diligent search was being made for her The last person seen in her company was Durant. Miss Williams was killed just ten days later Both girls had heen strangled Durant was twenty three years of age and resided in the neighborhood. He was a dental stu dent
 Theodore Durant was formally charged with the murder of Minnie Williams on April 16 He at once made preparation to defend himself by appointing General Dickinson as his counsel. On April 19 the cor oner's jury investigating the case re- turned a verdict charging Durant with the murder
 The reason the coroner's jury first took up the Williams case was that | they felt they had the best evidence 1 gainst Durant as to her murder, for | they had d found in his possession a rocketbook belonging to Minnie Will Hams. The preliminary trial of Du- lant began April 22 and was con- tInued for several days, when murder
 vas formally charged against him :! The pastor of the church, Rev. John George Gibson, was a witness al l tlIis trial, and at one time the de-
 fendants lawyers tried to place the | crime upon him.
 On April 29 Durant was arraigned
 for the murder of Blanche Lamont and it was for this crime that he
 was eventually found guilty, and the murder of the Williams girl was only incidentally brought into the
 trial. It was brought out that Du-
 rant had murdered the Williams gir l in order to conceal the murder oi l Miss Lamont, for he believed tha,
 she knew something of the disap- pearance of her friend.
 1 The regular trial of the case was
 begun on July 22. 1895, and was ono Of the most celebrated in the historS
 Of criminal jurisprudence. It wa. continued without interruption unti November 1. Close to 1900 talesmel were examined before the required twelve jurymen could be obtained

There Are Still Ostrich PIumes at Baike's Big curio Store for
 Easter Gifts

More men have been buying ostrich rlumes this year at BaIke's Big Curio store than might have been supposed to have any interest in
 that sort of decoration. They were
 men to whose attention it had been
 brought that ostrich plumes made
 the best kind of an Easter gift. In
 that discovery they unburdened
 themselves of d great load. Mention
 is made of their discovery now that
 other burdened souls may find relief rival of Easter. It is not long until then and men who have not yet chosen the Easter gifts that they will have to make are invited to call at once.
 These are the Arizona ostIich
 plumes. better than any others or

are and were made up of people who are as far apart in their political be- liefs and principles as the progress ives and reactionary republicans and democrats are today.
 These two old parties remind one of the Mississippi river. in the analy- sis of their component parts: the re- publican party has its Hadleys and it's Harnesses; it's La Follettes and it's Penroses The democratic party has it's Wilson's and it's Murphys; it's Taggarts and its Underwoods. If you should place any of these cou- plets in room and keep them there until they had come to an agree ment on the principles of govern ment. on opening the door you would be unable to find a recognizable corpse on which to hold a coroner's inquest.

Amalgamation Impossible
By Geo. B. Wilcoxl

About once month, or oftener. We read of an amalgamation agree ment between the republicans and progressives. These reports all come from the same source: the Stand Pat" press. Only a short time ago they announced that they had per- fected an amalagamation deal with the progressives of West Virginia.
 To show how wantonly the situa- ton down there was misrepresenta : ted to the public, I quote a resolu- of West Virginia, at Huntington on March 20, last
 "RESOLVED-Tha we the mem- bers of the progressive party of West Virginia, in regular meeting assem- bled at Huntington on this goth day it is the purpose and intent of the progressives to nominate true pro- gressive party men for all offices to be filled at the next general election
 pledged to enact and support pro- gressive principles as enunciated in our state and national platforms and we welcome the cooperation and support of all persons, of whatever
 party of which they have heretofore affiliated, who now profess to favor such progressive principles
 How inconsistent these old sextons of the republican graveyard are! They seem to have lost all power of
 rational reasoning. They seem tC have overlooked the fact that the progressive party is made up of over 4,000,000 voters, 1,000,000 of whom were formerly democrats, and that il there was to be any amalgamation il would be easier for progressives to support the present democratic ad- ministration than go back to the re- publican boss ruled organization. These progressive voters left the old parties for, good and sufficient reasons: those reasons are just as manifest now as they were in 1912 Both the old parties have outlived their usefulness, and both of them

cumstantial, but when taken togeth- CT formed a chain so strong as to admit of no reasonable doubt The case was submitted to the jury on the afternoon of November 1 and they were only out twenty minutes before they brought in a verdict oi guilty. A few days later Judge Mur- phy sentenced the prisoner to be hanged on February 21. 1896.
 Then began q fight for delay, viz orously maintained for almost twen- tE months. not even ceasing witf the execution of the death sentence pUrant appealed from the judgment tc the supreme court, but his appea vas not perfected for many months l. was August l, 1896, before the bill of exceptions and the transcript of testimony reached the suprem, court. The case was then placed or the calendar for the following Octo- Der.
 The supreme court affirmed tho decision of the superior court or March 3, 1897, and within ten days the prisoners attorneys filed a peti- tion for a rehearing. On the follow ing April 10 Durant was re-sentenced to be hanged at San Quentin prisor on Friday June II.
 Every effort was then made to in duce Governor Budd to grant elem ency. which he did to July 9, wheT no attempt was made to carry Ou the sentence. Thus the case dragged cn until the end of the year and nt stone was left unturned, finally al appeal being sent to the suprem' court at Washington. This last ef fort was refused on January '. 1898 by a declination to interfere ant Theodore Durant was executed ol the morning of the same day a 10:37, in the San Quentin prison which is the California state peni tentiary.

B|G INCREASE
 IN SCHOOL KIDS
Recent Census of County Superintendent Barome- ter of Wonderful Growth of Phoenix and Maricopa County. Daily Attend ance Away Up

The healthy growth of Phoenix and
 Maricopa county is strikingly re-
 flected in the school census for the first five school months of 1914, Which was completed yesterday by
 County Superintendent of Schools J. A. Higgins. An increase of 571 in
 the average daily attendance for the
 first five school months of 1914 over the average daily attendance for the
 entire year of 1913 is shown for
 Phoenix.
 This not only testifies to a mar
 velous growth in population, but it
 more than one third of the reserve
 furd for county schools The fund will he appartioned on the basis of
 tie increase shown in the report
 The total increase for the entire county with it's xty-eight districts which were in existence last year is 1A70 in average daily attendance. The
 reserve fund amounts to more than s2l 000. Apportioning the fund on schools will receive almost $S,000, or more than one-third of the total fund. The apportionment brings the per capita allowance to about s14. So far as Superintendent Wiggins has been able to ascertain, the coun- ty never has shown a greater in crease in school attendance. The growth is not confined to one or q few localities, but is general through fty hn NAa has shown falling off An indica- tion of how the daily attendance in schools has come up this year is given by comparison with the figures of last year. Last year the increase l over the previous year was S6S. which was at that time considered a grat- | flying showing. The average daily attendance in Phoenix last year was 2.002 as compared with 2,573 for the | first five school months of this year. School months are computed on the basis of twenty days to each month. l The total daily average attendance | for the entire county for the five | months was 6,77S. The report tells ! in figures the story of the wonderful Prosperity which some of the smaller
 communities have enjoyed. Districts which q year ago had only few pupils in attendance at the school have now grown into educa tional | units of considerable size. Among the noticeable ones in this class is District No. Al, composed of the city | of Gilbert The average daily at ! tendance for last year was forty For
 the first five school months of this
 year 1t was eighty-six. growth of
 more than 100 per cent. Many other
 small districts show similar increases. l Figures next year at this time will
 be even more interesting as four
 new districts will be included in the statistics. These districts were not
 in existence last year and conse- | quently cannot be used in the com
 parative tables.
 The increase in school attendance certainly speaks well for Phoenix and
 Maricopa county" said Superinten- dent Higgins. If the growth were confined only to certain districts.
 there would not be so much occasion
 for enthusiasm. However, the figures
 show that the same gratifying con-
 ditions exist throughout the county
