the verdIct was announced wi never be for-
gotten by thee who were present. Judge
Murphy Inllhell hl charge at 3:30 : , and the !
jury at once rotird. Although there vas
supposed to bo little prospect of a verdict he'
lug returned before 7 or 8 o'clock In the even-
tog tim throng of spectators who hal rc-
malnell In the overcrowded court room all
the afternoon to hear the judge's charge set-
t ! 11 thermel\e : back In their seat to await
lie return of the jury.
Irs. Durrant and the prloner talked and
laughed together , as I an acquittaL were a
foregone conclusion. They were joined by
half a dozen friend ! and the converitlon
was becoming animated when It became whls-
1 > led about that the jury had agreed upon a
verdict. In an Instant a hush fell upon the
little circle that hall gathered arol11 the
prlner. Durmnt's face , always pa\ll , as-
sumed a ghastly hue and hle mother was
speechle Then the big dears at the rear
of the room opened and tile Jury fed In all
tool their seat" In the box. Intense excitement -
mont folloWed , but the room although filled
to Its utmost capacity , was almost as quiet as
I It had been vacant. Judge Murphy , who
had retired to his cliarnberi , was fllmone
- and took his 111ac upon the bench. Clerk

" \ \ ' " the jury " said he , "fnll the derend-
ant , WiIam Henry Theodore Durrant , guilty
of mun'er In the first degree. "
As the aged foreman , pale and trembling .
read the words that fixed Durranl's fate , a
low rumblni noise like the roar of a mob
al'oso from the rear of the court room. The
next moment men were cheering wllly ( . while
. womcli wept hysterically In excitement. The
\omen bysterlcaly
bailiff rallped loudly for order but the tumult

contnued out of tIe dlsordcr.
quiet could ho bromht t'IO '
Then District Attorney Barnes arose and
askell that a lay ho set upon which the scn-
tenco of death ho passed upon the prisoner.
'Jllgc Murphy salll that sentence woutd be
:
Passed next Friday. upon which day he
woul also set .tlc , . day for the trial of Dur-
rant on the charge oC murdering Minnie Wi-
hams. During the tumult that followed the ' ,
nnnounccment of the verdict Durrant and
his mother were lost sight of . except by the
low who sat nearest to thcm. As the last
wonls of the verdict were tittered Durrant
rnad < a spasmoic etort 10 arise 10 his feet ,
but before ho could 110 so his mother , with
a hal sIgh , hal iiioan threw her arms around
his flock and sunk back Into her chair. Ills
mother's grief seemed to make Durrnt for-
get his own liosltion. and for the next few
minutes h' sat with his arms around her
neck trying to seethe her. The long strain
of the trial , liowevc.r had completely shat-
creEl her selC-control , all It was some ( line
before Mrs. Durrant could leave lie court

Durrant's father was not In the room when
th : verdict was returned. As soon as the
jury retired ho went out Into the corridors ,
not helhvlng that the jury would return for
several hours , all he first learned that his
Mn had been convicted when I cheer went
up from the crowd In the building as the
news sllread.

CO"Im IE\ :
Durrant recovered his old-time composure
lS soon as he Il ! his mother and prepared
to retnr to the county jail. ¶ 'Ith his over-
coat swung carelessly over his arm , he
walked leisurely out of the room , twirling
his slight ijioustacho with apparently as little
slthtmoustache wih nppenty lS lte
concern aK If he were merely a spectator of
Instenll oC the principal figure In the ( xclt-
lug beene. Aside from spactators , Irs. Noble
laucho I.amont's aunt , and Maude Lament ,
the dead glrl's sister were apparently the
happiest persons In the room. When the
verdict was announced Mau.lo . Lament sprang
front her eat , clapped her hands and then
cried of sheer excitement. Mrs. Noble mixed
emles wih tears and shook hunlh with I
number of friends who crowded around to
congratulate her.
As son as Durrant left the building the
crowd surged out of the room and gathered
' around the door :1t of which the prisoner
tisnaily came to reach the prison van. FearIng -
Ing that seine violence might ho offered the
prisoner , ho was taken out of another Iloor
and driven by I cIrcuitous route to the county

and to dismis the same tt hIs pleasnre.
Assistant City Attorney Corish gave liLa
opinion yesterday to the ( effect that under
the exlslng laws the Board of Fire nnll Po-
lIce Commisflo' bad no luthorly to appoint -
point any special polcmen whatever. That
pOWEr was vested solely In the maor and
while the ( commissioners held the power of
conlrmaton ! they lad no right to arrogate to
themselves the appointIng power.
The fact that a list was submitted to the (
mayor Indicates that the members oC the
hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners were
aware of the fact that the appointing power
was vested In the mayor. The fact that
, they ( secretly made the appolntrents on the
fohlowimig day , before the mayor had an opportunity -
1 portunity ( to submit his appoIntments , shows
that ( I was the deliberate Intenlon of the
board to evade the ( plain provIsion of the law
and pack the booth with men who could be
depnded on for any criminal act by which
the dervIsh gang could be contnued In Its
control ( of the ( city and county offices.
In order to appear to conform to the law
which ( hey practically nullified , the board has
desfjnatell the men appointed as patrolmemi
Instead of specIal pohicenien. According to
the section of the harlr which Is referred
to In the letter of Chief Slgwart the memo-
hers of the ( Board of Fire and Police Commissioners -
missioners have the authority to appoint such
patrolmen as the funds furnished by the city
councIl will admit. instead of making their
appointments as specIal police , they hale
added twenty-four patrolmen to the ( regular
forc These mel wilt be assigned to duty
on the day before electIon and ( lien dismissed
at the pleasure of the board. On this techni- (
calty the ( board expect to be able to defy
the ( law ! carry out the Infamous scbemes
of the Ku Klux gang.
' . 'ihe authority for ( lie statement that the
extta"patroiuiien" were appointed on Tues-
day night Is Secretary Brownlee o the (
)
board. No report of any such acton was
given ant at the time , either to the repre- I
sentatves of the press or to the ma'or.
Secretary Irownlee further explains that the :
extra police are to be asslgnell to regular
thuity , while the regulars wi bo put on duty
at the booths In ( bus lanner Iroatch ( wil
make It certain that every man who Is on
duty at an election booth Is one who Is dependent -
pendent on him . for _ hIsbread and butter.
