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.

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 .
