HOPES AWAY. •
BOTH PLEAS OVERRULED
The Murderers Will Now Pay
The Penalty.
* San Frans'sco, Cal , Dec. 8—
Late yesterday afternoon the su
premo court dispelled the last
hope of W. T. Durrant, the mur
derer of Blanche Lamont and Min
nie Williams, by {disposing in a
summary manner of bis two ap.
'peals
Ina written opinion fr mi the
pen of Chief Justice Beatty, which
is concurred in by all butete of
his associates, the court affirms
l'be judgment of Judge 1 alors ,’in
'remanding the prisoners t< be:
Quentin until the date set for his
execution, but he cites the sen
fencing of Durrant to be hanged
on November 11th and remainde
the case to the superior court
with instructions to proceed ac
cording to law. As tha remst
titur was ordered issued forthwith
and the court holds that execution
can only be stayed now by the is
suance of a eertifeate of probable
cause it only remains toresentence
the condemned murderer, which
will probably be done tommor
! row.
Justice Garroutte alone dissent
jed from this opinion, main
taining [that Durrant’s ap
peals should have been distn iss
ed as the time required by law for
their per r ection had been allowed
to lapse.
The action of the San Fransisco
supreme court yesterday put at
naught the efforts that have been
made by the alleged widow ot
Blanther, known as Arthur D.
forbes in Atlanta while he was I
Manager of the Southern Purchas- [
ing Agency in that city. When
B anther suicided it is said a
a written confession was
found, showing that be was the
murderer of the girls, ano that
Durrent was innocent.
Since then the woman who
claim* to have been the wife of
blanther has made every possi
ble effort to secure the ropening
of the Durrant case, but the su
preme court has decided to pay
but little attention to the numer
ous letters and telegram which
have emanated from the woman .

1
Waverly. Ta. J Dm. 9—Mist
Delilah Fales has confessed hei
ehare in the tragic death “of Jer
ome Km n. The matj was fount
dead in a lonely wood on the 23d
of last August and the young
woman now confesses ah’’ fired tin
bullets that kill, d him. Shewa,
indicated V day, and it is eaic
her alleged accomplice before th,
fact, a son of the victim, will be
ini cted tomorrow.
.'list Fules charges that when
she wfis a mere child of thirteen
years the elder Kern betrayed her.
and that ever alter he harassed
her with his attentions. More
than that, he sought by blacken
ing her reputation she states to
keep others from paying court to
to her. Twice before she became
attached to the murdeied man’s
son she had been in a fairway
to become hapily married but as
many times had Jerome Kern,
poisoned her lovers against her.
At iast when by the same meth
od he sought to prevent hie son
from marrying her the pent up
hatred of years vented itself "in
the commission of the crime. She
said;
‘‘l killed Irin with premedi
tation and deliberation. I prayed
God to give me strength to do it
with all the earnestness I could
command as I have prayed Hiu:
for forgiveness. I have suffered
pa ngs* of c nscience. On the
contrary a restful calm seemed to
come into my life from the mo
ment I knew tie was dead. 1 nev
er slept so well as I did that night
after I fired those fatal shots.”
Miss. F Jes’a confession starts
by telling of the love afidir of
herself and youug Kerr and of the
father. They discussed the ques
ion of putting him out cf the way
and they agr.ed that that would
be the best way out Jof the diffi
cnlty,
One day elder Kern suggested
to the young woman that she
meet him She saw here opportu
ni'y that she had been waiting
for and she assented making an
appointment for the following
morning in the woods near her
home. They met and he assisted
her to alight from her vehicle.
Says her confession :
“He was on hie knees before
tne. I saw my chance to kill him.
I had the revolver just inside my
coat, which was buttoned up As
l-.e was kneeling ’here 1 pulled the
revo ver out and shot him quickly
in the chest. He whirl, d round on
his knees a little ways as he fell
forward I shot him in the right
side of his back. I don't
know whe'her his clothes caught
fire or not.l hunied awav.” >
Then follows a detail of the
plotting of the two to lay the
crime at ihe door of John Lew.s
a foi iner lover of I) dilah s. ’I hey
even paepared a letter purporting
to have been written by the de
ceased on the day of his murder
and which was left whore it would
be readily found as it was a few
days ag) This letter said that if
harm came to Kern, Lewis
must be held responsible,
Wi liam Kern’s confession cor
rob >rates that of Miss Fales in
almost every derail.
