failures during Ihe last half averaged Hi-

clal review tomorrow will say :
Although dull and somewhat reactionary
conditions ruled at the beginning of the
vveck. the last three days have ! brought a
dl ol.ay of speculative activity and strength
In the market. The earlier hesitancy wis
ippirently duo lo dlsappolnlment cm the
P irt of traders , 'who had bought stocks on
the thcorj- tint there would be a pronounced
Jimiiary rise , because the public did not
come Into the market at the very com
mencement of the now buslncs-s vcar The
small professionals consequently liquidated
long holdings to cover Monday nnd Tues-
daj and put oul considerable lines of short
silos hoping that the decline would ex
tend further. The le-adlng factors In spcc-
ulitlon ieeni to have contributed to this re
sult and their brokers were for a tlmo con-
sldonble sellers on the niaiket Among the
unsettling factors were rumors of possible
compile Ulons among the Kmopean power.- .

Supreme Court Decisions.
XB , Wjo. , Jan. 7. ( Special. )
The Wjomlng supreme court was In session
today nnd handed down several Important
decllons In the case of John Kelley against
Oliver P Khoacls , as assessor of Laramlo
county. Chief Justice I'otter rendered the
opinion. Suit was brought by the plaintiff ,
Kelley , to recover $230 , collected by the as
sessor In 1893 , upon u band of sheep which
were grazling In Laramlo cotintj- , having been
brought Into the state from Utah and dilven
across Iho state to the earitern boundary and
then shipped easl. The lax was collecled
by Iho assessor under the provisions of the
act of 1S95 , piovldlns for the taxation of llvo
stock brought Into the state for the purpose
of grazing. The court ruled that the law of
1895 w.is constitutional ; that It did mot vie
late any of the provisions ot the federal CT
stale constitutions ; that the law was op-
pllcablo to stock brought Into the st-Uo prior
to the last day of the year 1893 It v.aa
held , however , that the sheep being In
transll , and for no olhcr purpose whatever ,
the glazing was "merely cm Incident of the
transportation , and the property was not
subject to state taxation.
ID the case of EJward W. Stone against
the Board o' County Commissioners of Lira-
mlo county , suit was brought by Stone to
recover the amount of salary paid by him
to L. K. Stcvie , as deputy county treasurer
for the flrst six months of 1891 , Kelward W.
Stone being at tlwt lime Ircasurer of Lara-
nile counl > and Iho county commissioners
refusing to allow him a deputy. The district

plaintiff nnd this Judgment Is ainrmed.

Wllllim Henry Theodore Durrani , who
was executed today at San Quentln , Rave
his 11 To In cxchariKe for the lives of two
} OUIIK women , who vvcro members of
the church to which ho belonged ,
\Vhllo Currant was convicted of but
oiio murder under the law , he was bold
responsible by public opinion for the mur
der of both Ol.ncho Lament and Minnie
Williams , and It Is felt that his do.Uh ex-
plitcs one crime as much as the other.
Uurrant'8 crimes vvcro peculiar In their
atrocity , from any point of view. He nas
reared In a Christian home , and until the
tlmo of his arrest was regarded as 11 model
> OUIIR man of Industrious 'habits ' , who was
tryln ? to inork hh > muy through a mcdlc.il
collego. TJ'o only characteristic that
neemed marked In his nature vv.m his piety.
Ho had benn n prominent member of the
nnmiuiol IJ.iptlst church for several years
and for a year previous to his arrest hid
been assistant superintendent of the Sunday
school. In this capiclty he made the ac
quaintance of lilinchc L/imont and of Min-
nlo Williams , both of vv'iom ' were destined
to be murdered by him In the church where
they worshiped together
Blanche I.imont OKipnoarcil on April " ,
IS1' ' " ) , and was never seen alive afterward
She loft the homo of her aunt Mrs C G
Nobhi , o that d ly to KO to Fchool , and for
ton diij-s no trice of her could bo found.
Many members of nmanucl church nsslstcil
In the .scarrh for tno missing Klrl. and
among others -\\as Theodore Durrani , who
hid often uc'ed as Jllss Lumont's escoit.
Ho seemed grcatl } distressed on account
of Miss Limont's dlsippcurance , and at
length c\pressinl the belief th it she had
lolned the lanks of the fallen women 'Ihis
theoiy seemed plausible to the police , and a
search was made among the places where
U ivni believed the missing girl might bo
found. Durianl assisted In ttic Inqulrj ,
which came to naught. Ten diyo had
passed .since Miss Limont disappeared , and
her filends had almost given up hope of
over knowing her fate , when a dlscovciy
was made vvhleh led to the finding of Mls > s
L.unont'a body.
FINDING OP THD HODV.
The women of nmanuel church wore en
gaged In decorating the edifice preparatory
to the celebration of faster Sunday services ,
when the mangled body of Minnie Williams
wa-i found , almost naked , In the library. A
numbei of ugly knife wounds and some
rags tint had been forced down the > ouns
v.om.m'i tlnoiL told ot the uneiiu.il stiug-
glo she hnd made to protect her honor
Miss Williams' body was illseoveitd In
the aft rnoun and late the sinio night the
Hist clew to the murderer w is obtained
IVoni porno Jf the young woman's friends
It was learned that she had been seen the
evening bufoic with Durrant , and , although
thcro v\as nolhlng else to show that ho had
any connection with the crime , the police
derided to nTost him Durrani's homo wab
visited late at nlpiht , but he was not there
Ills parents said that 'ho bud left at mid
night with the signal corps of the National
Gurud , to which ho belonged , to make some
hcllogiaphliig experiments on Mount Diablo
The next tialn cairled two detectlvn to-
v\ard the mount-iln , and , after completing
their journey h > stage , Durrant was found
Into In the afternoon and arrested. But
the news that he was charged with tlif
murder of Minnie Williams was not first
Impaited to him by the olllcers. A message
was Hashed on the lajs of the sun by the
hellographers In this city , who were taking
part In the experiments of the slfnal cotps ,
and Durrant Know that he was to be
arrested before the o'lleers arrived.
Whllo the.se events vveio taking place
on Mount Diablo , sixty miles awa > . a dls-
tovery hud been made In this city which
( Hied the .stieets with men and womui
CO Ing for \tngeinco I'rom the first the
police associated the finding of Miss Wil
liams' body with the disappearance of Miss
Lumont , and a hearch was at once begun
In the church for her body. Men noticed
all night tearing up floors and breaking
down p trillions and at 10 o'clock Sunday
moinlng the body of Miss Jyimonl was
found. A broken door Knob and a lurnoil
bolt excited the su'-plclona of the beiirchers
and the door loading to tin- belfry of the
chuich was broken down. Up the winding
stairs the policemen groped their way and
at the thlid landing , Ijlng In the corner of
Hie darkened btlfry. the naked body of the
murdered girl was found. No knlfo had
been used to commit the crime , as was the
ciso In the murder of Miss Williams , but
the imprint of five lingers burled In ber
tin oat revealed the manner In which the
youngf woman met 'her ' death
WAS A DOUBLE CHIME
The post mortem examination showed that
murder was not the only crime that hud
been committed. The news of the discovery
of the second body In the church had spiead
with lncredlblo velocity , and at b o'clock ,
when Durrant , In custody of the oltlcers ,
alighted from a feny boat at the loot ot
Market stteet. In this city , he was met
by ii dense crowd that was ominous be
cause of Its silence The police were pre
pared for an oiitbienk , however , and two
companies of armed mun vvtre ptc&uit.
Dun ant was placed In a closed can luge
Fin rounded by llfty men mined with Win
chester ! ) and dilvcn to the city piison
Dm rant then protested his Innocence , ni
liu did to the hour of his death , but the
evidence against him accumulated lapldly
and on April 21 an Infoimillion was tiled
against tilm by Dlstilct Attotney Uarne.s
charging him with the muider of Blanche
lj imonl.
The trlil , which began on July 22 and
listed until November 1 , was one of the
most celebrated In criminal jurisprudence.
Neatly 1'JOO talesmen were examined before
tv Jury was scoured and six weeks passed
before the taking of testimony was begun.
The evld"iipo throughout wasclicumst.intlil ,
but i lien laken together formed a chain so
itrong as to admit of no rea onnblo doubt.
The prosecution pioduccd uvltnesscs who
traced Dm rant's movements on April 3
from the time he left Cooper Medical college -
lego until ho enlercd Ihe church with Miss
Limont To all of this tes Imony the pris
oner entered a denial , and In rebuttal pro
duced the roll call of the college , which
showed that ho IWUH attending a lectuto at
the hour when Miss Lament iwas murdered.
The prosecution disputed the loiiawilty of
the roll call ami fallowed that students were
accustomed to have cli&smates answer for
them when they were not present. As the
case became more hopeless Durrani went
on the stand hlmsHt , and , although ho
maintained a remarkable composuio
throughout , his teHllmony on a number of
Impottant points was palpably false. The
case was submitted to Iho Jury on the
afternoon of November J , 1803 , after having
bren on trial over three months Tnenty
minutes after they left the court loom the
jurors returned and tendered n verdict ot
guilty In the first degree. The California
law glvos the jury posver to fix the punish
ment of the criminal , but as no lecom-
menditlon of mercy was made Judge
Murphy , n. ftiw days laler , s > cnlenced Dur
rant to bo h ingcd on February 21 , 1890.
FIGHT FOIl DELAY
Then began n light for delay , vigorously
maintained up to the moment of
execution , Durrant appealed from the
judgment of the supreme court , but bis
appeal was not perfocled for many months
A preliminary proceeding waj the Kettle-
mcnt of Iho bill of exceptions a very
lenglhy document.
The defendant's ntlorneya first prepired
their bill of exceptions , the district attorney
added amendments thereto , then followed
frequent meetings of opposing counsel to
determine ) their differences : the document
WHH lead by the court and given to the
printers , but It was Augusl 1 , lt > 96 , before
the bill of exceptions and Iho iranserlpt
reached Iho supreme court The case was
then placed on HIP September court cilen-
dar , and nt Los Angeles , In the following
October the defendant's attorneys not ap
pearing , the case was bubmltled on the
papers Illcd.
Durrani's nltorneys subseouenlly moved
to sel aside the submission , and they were
allowed to Die briefs , but wore permitted lo
n uko no oral argument Attorney General
riUgeruld Hied u brief In reply , Durrant'a
attoineys answering the attorney general In
.another brief , and the case nuia not rcall )
1 under submission un 11 January , 1S9T.
The supreme court nlllrmed the doclclon
of the superior coutt on March 3. 1S ! 7 , and
within ten days I. c , , on March 13 Dui-
innt'ti attorneys tiled a petition for a rn-
hcarlng , The application for a rehearing
was denied by Iho supreme court on April
2 , and the fol'oAlng ' day u romlltltur was
handed down to department three of the
nuperlor court , ordering that court to pass
final judgment. B
Superior JudgJPahrs of department three
fixed Saturday , April 10 , as the day for pubs.
Ins sen encp nnd on that day Durrant was
r -sentenced and ordered to bo hmijel at
San Quentln atnto prison/on Friday June
11. Un the afternoon MI April 10 Durrnnt
wai taken from the county Jail , where ho
had been confined ever since hewas held lo
answer lo the police-court , and laken lo
San Uucnlln
FINAL
The attorneys for I uftiint were flllll not
willing lo give up , but took the case lo tNe
fedor.ll court The United Stiles circuit
court denied the write of habeas corpus
nskod for and the ca if "W/8 appealed to the
United Stales supreme court , which
handed dottn an - opinion affirming
thit of the laser court This appeal had the
cflocl , however of delaying the cxecullon
set for Juno 11 On hftBanding down of
this opinion Judge Bihrs promptly rcscn-
lenced Ihe condemned ithn.
LAST UPFOUT FOlt CON'DIJMNED.
An appeal from Ihls senlenco was taken
and Iho supreme courl granled n stay on
the ground thai undue hnslo hid been ox-
erclsed by the lower court. The supicme
court finally re-sentenced the accused to be
hung on January 7 , 1VR The ntiorncys
again turned Ihelr attention to the federal
court , asking a writ of habeas corpus , which
was denied , n * was nl o the rluht to ap
peal to the federal supreme court. Even
then the attorneys for thp uecu ed did not
give up , but applied to the United Slates
supreme court for a stiy of execution , which
was denied , and with this exhausted their
list legal rorourco. In the meantime con
stant pressure had been brought to bear
on Governor BiuM to mcure a rcmlsslui of
the death penalty and allow the con-
demneel man to servo out his natural life
In prison , but this , too , was In vain.
Durrani was never Irled for Iho murder
of MKs William' , bill Iho evidence of his
guilt was a. * conclusive as In the Lament
cuso. Miss Williams lived In Alamoda. and
on the afternoon she was murdered Dur
rant was seen to meet her at Iho fetry
and boird a westbound car. She came to
this city for the puiposo of attending an
entertainment to bo given by the cfturch In
the evening , and It Is supposed that when
Durrant met her ho maOe un appointment
bcforo going to the entertainment. At
any rate , Miss AVII11 ims nvent to Iho home
of n friend In this city , and at 7.D o'clcx-k
starlcd for the cntertilnmcnl. Half an hour
later she was seen standing In front ot
Emanuel Baptist church talking to Durrant.
She was never seen again alive At ! l 30
that night Durrant arrived atthe residence
of Mrs. Vosel , where the entertainment was
being given nvltb Hushed face and In a
highly nervous condlllon Ho asked lo bo
shown to a toilet room In order thai he

COLUMBUS , O , Jan , 7. This was ft quiet
day amonp the army of political workers
enlisted In the scnntorl.il conlest. Senator
tlanna's managers were apparenlly more
cheerful loday , but the cause for It was not
apparent. They bavo adopted quite n dif
ferent policy In their canvass from thai fol
lowed at the beginning of the contcsl here.
It Is nol so easy to secure Inslilo Informa
llon , nnd Ihls policy Is generally approved
by the senator's suppoitcrs , Whatever Im
portant developments there may bo are not
kept under cover , nnd as a result the op
position lias been forced to partially change
Us plans ,
The efforts ot the steering conimlltco lo
whip the democratic members of the legis
lature Into line to vote for a republican for
senator have not 'been ' so successful as they
expected. As a result It Is staled mithorl-
lallvely lonlfihl that there will bo a caucus
of the democratic members next Monday
nlghl. The purpose of Ihe caucus Is to locate
the doubtful members and pledge those who
are willing to carry out the proposed fusion
so that enough members can bo kept In line
to Insure Iho maintenance of a deadlock ,
should one bo forced.
The most reliable Information tonight Is
that Mr. Kurt ? will bo proposed as the can
didate of the opposition , 'both for the long
and the short term 11 is believed by Ihe
democratic leaders now that iMr Kurtz will
bo more acceptable to the majoilty of the
democratic members of the legislature than
any other man

In the organization of Ihe IcslaYilure The
oppo. . ition will bo divided. Two of the Ham
ilton count > members are counted to vote
for a free silver republican It Is chimed
by the leaders of the opposlllon lhal all Iho
democrats will stand toselhor , but Ihls claim
is not borne out b > the information from
other sources It is claimed by sonic that nt
least twrnty democrats win reiu o to UUBHU

It develops that the Kuitz people had de
cided to tuke advantage of the cffcrto of
certain republicans to ttirow cold water on
the ceremonies attending the Inauguration
of Governor Binhnell. The Kurtz people
thought the disapproval of Governor Uusn-
nell's attitude would keep the Hanna repub
licans away from the city , and thc > set nbout
to bring a big crowd of Governor Bubhnell s
frlcnel.3 here. It Is elated that for Uils purpose -
pose rollroid tickets were sent to ceiUM
lecalllles where Iho governor's friends were
thought to be numerous , for free distribution ,
for the purpose of bringing as many as possi
ble to Iho cltj.
