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.

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 might wash his hands and later nskctl thir Ihe person who dlreeled should say nothing about the Incident When he was arrested at Mount Diablo , Miss Wllllims' purho was found In his overcoat pocket. Dun ml fald he found Iho ipurso on the sidewalk while going homo fiom the entertainment He was poeti In 110 vlclnltv of the church at 12 oYlock that night , and It Is supposed that ho nvent bark to the library whete he hid strangled Miss Wlllinms , and , finding her breathing feebly , cut her wrists and foicea par of her clothing down her thro it The theory of the prosecution has always been that Durrint murdered MIrs Williams to conco il fie muider of Mls-t Limont The two young women wete nuilialntinccs , and Duinnt suspected tint Miss Williams be lieved ho knew something about the disap pearance ot Blanc 10 Lamont. \MCriJI. .
