DURRANI GUILTY.
THK JURY SAY IIE MURDERED
POOR BLANCHE LAMONT.
1 he \ erdiet Generally Approved—At¬
torneys Will Appeal.
Theodore Durrnut is the murderer
of Blanche Lamout. That was the ver¬
diet of the jury at San Francisco Fri¬
day afternoon, after being out twenty-
eight minutes. The verdict was ro-
ceived with a shout of applause from
tho audience who packed the court¬
room.
The closing scene of tho great trial
was full of dramatic interest, pathos
and excitement. The district attor¬
ney’s peroration was an able effort.
Link by link the chain had been
welded until it bad been shown be¬
yond doubt that Durrant had murder¬
ed Blanche Lamout on April 3d by
strangulation.
The charge of Judge Murphy occu¬
pied a little over an hour in delivery.
As soon R8 llie court completed the
charge Air. Dickinson took an excep¬
tion on the ground that his honor had
not read the instructions submitted ns
the defense had written them. The
jury was then given in charge of two
deputy sheriffs aud conducted to the
jury room.
Suppressed excitement was man¬
ifested thoughout the courtroom and
the corridors outside during the wait
which succeeded the departure of tho
jury. There was a gireat deal of spec¬
ulation as to how long the jury would
remain out.
(Ill the First Ballot.
The jury took the first ballot, which
was for murd r in the first degree.
Word was scut at once to the court
and Judge Murphy sent for the jury.
While til's was going on Durrant sat
in the courtroom beside his counsel
conversing with his mother aud several
of her lady friends.
As soon as Mrs. Durrant learned
that the jury was coming in her de¬
meanor changed from one of gayety
nnd a look of dread came over her
face, which was not reflected in thatol
her son. lie stoically watched the
jurymen as they took their seats, as i!
to get from their features the import
of the verdict which their early return
portended.
As Foreman Dutton prouounced tin-
verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree the large audience which had
listened in perfect silence for the
words which lie v,as to utter, rose and
uttered a yell which echoed (ar out in
tho corridors.
Most of those in tho audience were
women. The cries which went up
from them fell upon the enr of the
convicted murderer’s mother like a
blow and it brought her the first real¬
ization of the force of the words of the
foreman. Her face was averted as she
had nerved herself for the ordeal, but
though possessed of marvelous cour¬
age, a cry burst from her lips, followed
by a hysterical outburst of sobs.
As he listened intently to tho words
which sealed his fate Durant par¬
tially rose from bis seat. The look on
his face was one of defiance aud it was
apparent that be bad it in mind to ad¬
dress the jury. The first cry from his
mother changed his mind if he had
such intention. He sat down, turned
to his mother, and took her fondly in
his arms.
As the jurymen marched by Durrant
and his mother they looked sympa¬
thetically upon the sad picture of the
weeping woman upon the shoulder of
her condemned son.
Then Judge Murphy would announced that
next Friday he pass sentence
upon Durrant and at the time he would
fix the time for beginning the trial of
Durrant for the murder of Minnie
Williams.
Meets With Approbation.
The vordict of the jury meets with
general approbation, The town is
wild over it and it resembled the af¬
termath of an election, Durrant
himself takes it eooliy and says he has
not yet lost hope. His attorney will
appeal to the supreme court on a hill
of exceptions, the material for which
accumulated during the trial.
TO HELP CUBA FIGHT.
Report That There Will Soon Bo a
Call for 25,000 Volunteers.
A special from Rockford, Ill., says:
W. H. Decram, who is interested in
Cuban affairs, and in communication
with the insurgent headquarters in
l^ew York, will, it is said, open a re¬
cruiting station in Rockford after No¬
vember 1.
Mr. Deeram is bound to secrecy, but
without knowing his interlocutor, let
drop the fact, to a supposed recruit,
that 25,000 young men of good habits
and physique w ill doubtless be called
for alter the mass meetings which are
to be held simultaneously iu all cities
<d the United States on the evening of
October 31.
He further stated that a fund has
been pledged for paying those who en¬
list after the enthusiasm has been
stirred up at the big meeting, for
which purpose speakers will be sent
out from headquarters of friends of
the insurgents, Decram already has
promises of a large number of local
young men to enlist.
CHINA’S FIRST INSTALLMENT.
It, Was Paid to Japan Through the
Bank of England.
It is reported that the first install¬
ment of the Chinese war indemnity—
$8,000,000—was paid to Jap an.by the
Bank of England Thursday, and that
representatives of China and Japan
were present at the bank and formally
witnessed the transfer of the money
from one account to the other.
HOLMES ON TRIAL.
The Accused Perpetrator of Many
Crimes Defends Himself.
H. H. Ilolmas, who, according to his
own remarkable confessions, stands at
the head of the list of modern crimi¬
nals, was put on trial in tho court of
Oyer and Terminer at Philadelphia
before Judge Arnold Monday morning
for tho murder of Benjamin E. Piet-
zel.
Promptly at ten o’clock Holmes was
brought into court aud placed in the
dock. Tho prosecution announced
ready, whereupon Air. Shoemaker, of
counsel for tho defense, asked for a
continuance of the’case. He urged
tho lack of time for preparation.
“There are three homicide cases in¬
volved in this case,” ho urged, “and wo
have had ouly as much time as would
be adequate preparation of one.”
Mr. Rotan, of the defense, presented
the plea for a respite, but it was over¬
ruled by Judge Arnold. Mr. Shoe¬
maker and Mr. Rotan created a mild
sensation by saying that if tho judge’s
decision was irrevocable they would
withdraw from ihe case, but Judge
Arnold spoiled this by declaring that
a member of the bar who would with¬
draw from a murder caso on the very
eve of its trial would bo called upon to
show cause why he should not bo dis¬
barred for unprofessional conduct and
ordered that tho trial begin by calling
n jury.
One juror had been admitted by the
commonwealth when there was another
sensation. Holmes arose in the dock
and, in a quavering voice, said to
Judge Arnold; “May it please the
court, I have no inclination to con¬
tinue with the trial of this case with
Mr. Rotan and Mr. Shoemaker ns my
counsel, feeling that, in view of their
desire to withdraw, my interests
would be damaged. I therefore dis¬
charge them as my counsel.”
“You cannot discharge them, Mr.
Holmes.” answered Judge Arnold.
“That is for tho court, and if they
withdraw from this case, they will be
punished.”
“If,” continued Homes, bis tones
being still more tremulous, “if your
honor will give mo until tomorrow to
secure additional counsel—”
“Wo will have no more debate, Mr.
Holmes. The matter is decided.”
At this juncture both Mr. Shoe¬
maker and Mr, Rotan left the court¬
house, and Holmes began nis own
defense, by examining and challeng¬
ing jurors.
READY FOR THE JURY.
Closing Argument Made : u tlie Durant
Murder Case.
District Attorney Barnes made the
closing argument in the Durant ease,
Wednesday morning. He said: “Tbe
individual who perpetrated the hideous
murder with which tho defendant
stands charged, and which has har¬
rowed the soul and frozen the blood of
this community is no ordinary crimi¬
nal ; and his crime in every aspect in
which it may be considered, is without
a parallel.” hurling the
Mr. Barnes, after most
scathing invectives upon tho prisoner’s
head, closed with an eloquent appeal
to the jury to avenge the murder of
Blanche Lamont and protect the
women and girls of the state by re¬
turning a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree, with tho penalty of
death.
OWNED TOO MUCH LAND.
Thorpe Bought 1,400 Acres and the
Enraged People Burn His Houses.
William Thorpe, a wealthy railroad
contractor, with an office at 45 Broad¬
way, New York, recently purchased
fourteen hundred acres of land in the
lower part of Luzurnc county, Pa.
He erected a number of buildings,
planted trees and built fences. The
Biddings have been destroyed by in¬
cendiaries, tbe trees torn up, and the
fences destroyed.
Detectives are now at work on the
ease. It is alleged that some people
living in the vicinity said after Mr.
1 borpe had made his pmrehase that
fourteen hundred acres of land was too
much for ono man to own.

CUBAN SYMPATHIZERS.
Indiantans Pledge Money and Sup¬
port to tlie Insurgents.
A proclamation has been issued by
the mayor of Anderson, Ind., calling

Dr. Robert Battey, of Rome, is now
recovering from his late illness and
expects to be able to attend to busi¬
ness in a short time. No more pub¬
lic-spirited citizen lives in Romo.
He has built quite a number of elegant
houses in the city in the last few years.
His reputation has given quite a name
to Rome, and thousands know it who
probably would never have heard of it
but for him.
The wholesale liquor dealers of Sa¬
vannah have raised a fund for the pur¬
pose of fighting the dispensary hill,

They will have representatives in At¬
lanta and will work conjointly with the

stop the progress of that legislation.
The passage of tho bill would require
the raising of $100,000 more from real

Tho state convention of all tho
Christian churches of Georgia held an
interesting session of throe days at
Atlanta. The following officers wero
elected for the ensuing year: Presi¬
dent, Dr. C. 1’. Williamson, pastor of
the First Christian church; vice presi¬
dent, II. O, Bowen, of Savannah;
corresponding secretary, If. 0. Combs,
of Macon; treasurer, John Cooper, of
Atlanta; state evangelist, E. E. Sliel-
nut. Under tho direction of the* e
able lenders tho progress of the church

zation of the Central railroad was
taken a few days ago when a dcod to
tlio property was tiled for record in
the offico of Clerk Tanner at Atlanta.
The deed was from the special masters
of tho court, Alfred E. Buck nnd
George W. Owens, and was made to
tho purchasers of tlio property. Samuel
Thomas and Xhomas F. Ryan. The
consideration for which the deed was
made was the sum of two million dol¬
lars. It covers the property known
ns the Southwestern railroad, both be¬
long,subject to the tripartite mortgage
bonds of tho Farmers’Loan and Trust
Company, of Now York.

The Savautiali Nows thinks tho idea
of tho Georgia legislature passing a
special act directed against a dance is
littlo if any short of ridiculous.
There is already a plenty of law to
deal with all indecent exhibitions, nnd
it is tho duty of tho police or other
officers of the law to see that such ex¬
hibitions are si ppressed. The Atlanta
exposition is incorporated with tho
city for police purposes. It is tho
business of the Atlanta polico authori¬
ties to see that tho shows in tho
grounds are unobjectionable. The
legislature would beengagod in mighty
small business in enacting a special law
to meet a situation that oould bo met
anti mnstered by one policeinnn with a
club under existing i InwB.

Fitzgerald \3h»nA- Banking VaeiUMen.
The new city of Fitzgerald, now
just arising from the ground lately
covered by a pine forest, is beginning
to show every sign of busy life. The
survey of the town has been almost
completed and the demand for town
lots seems to be almost general and
comes from almost every section, In-
quiries are answered with tho infor¬
mation that lots will ba put on sale
within a few days. The town is in
noed of railway facilities, but those
will soon be provided as a road has
been bought by the colony extended manage¬
ment and will soon be to tho
place and give communication with
the outside world, both by tho South¬
ern Railway and the Plant System.
Notwithstanding tho fact that there
is no railroad yet, stocks of goods arc
being bought to be shipped there und
numbers of merchants will soon be
ready for traffic with the new settlers..
One of the crying needs of tho col¬
ony is a bank. At present there are
no banking facilities whatever. Many
of the colonists have brought their
money in the shape of bills of exchange
which cannot- be readily converted
into currency. Tho need of small
chaugo is so urgent that Iho uso of
postage stamps is frequently resorted
to. Of course, n bank will come in
time, but the demand for one is al¬
ready urgent and the first banker in
tho field will reap a rich harvest.
There aro thousands of colonists on
tho colony lands, and as soon as the
allotment of holdings is made an un¬
paralleled activity in building will be
witnessed.
The colonists are all pleased with
the colony location and with the cli¬
mate of this section.
A. P. A. FIXED PLACES.
Candidates for Office First Applied to
the Order’s Seeret Junta.
The Omuhft (Neb.) Bee has created pub¬ a
politiaal sensation in that city by
licizing fao simile copies of tbe secret
correspondence and archives of the
executive council of tho A. P. P., in
which candidates for positions before
tho conventions and applicants for
clerkships under city officers applied
directly to tho secret junta of securing tho or¬
der as tbe initial step toward
plrc s. All the original rosters of the
council and accumulated correspond¬
ence have been secured and the A. P.
i. members aro demoralized.
OLD TEMPLE FARM SOLD.
It is the Place Whore Cornwallis Sur-
rendered In 1781.
The farm known as the old Temple
farm, on the York river, at Yorktown,
Va., has just been sold to a gentleman
from Columbus, Ohio. Next to J unes-
town, Va,, tlio Temple farm is the
most historical, aud in many ways tho
most celebrated, of any farm in the
United States, It is tho farm on
which Lord Cornwallis surrendered to
tho combined armies of Washington
and LaFayette, October Iff, 1781. A
portion of the buildings then standing
still remain. The farm contained
about 500 acres and sold for $45,000.
The present owner proposes to make
his permanent residence there.

Debs and Ills Men May Fight the
Great Northern.
A St. Louis paper states that the
American Railway Union is on the
eve of a strike, compared with which
the strike of 18ff4 will be a mere skir¬
mish. Debs and his followers, it is

its agreement. Every road in the
west and northwest will tic drawn into
it. The situation is deemed critical
by the corporation threatened.
