Hopeful almost' to the very l&st minute that something would ,in- tervene to .'save hnv- he walked to the scaffold and -made a speech protesting his innocence as calmly and- with as distinct enunciation' arf if he had been addressing an assemblage of friends upon some ordinary -topic. His face was pale, his eyes v ere red but his voice was firtnf and he stood as solid ly as a rockj while he proclaimed 'his innocencj and professed forgiveness to tnose wno, ne, saia, naa -nounaea mm to death. . . There was not ,a hitch 'or .ccident to ,mar the Dlans of Warden Hale in carrying out the sentence. The' noose was ad juste I,, the trap " sprung,' the stout rope held .apd Durrant's deai body dangle 3. at the end. The neck was broken by the' fall of four "feet, and five mirutes later the murderer's Viody was Vut down and placed in the Coffin. ' .- In snite f)f the exciting events of Thursday n ght, wrien Durrant was besieged by newspaper reporters and talked to his parents'. uatU Hj30 p. m., he "rested easily during the nighty and shortly after 6 o'clock" he' awoke and bade his guards good morning.- War den Hale had provided a new suit of clothing of Idark material, and Jfhese Durrant ciuickly. donned. He noticed the absence of the collar, and necktie, however, anjd knowing full well the reason for the omission he asked for them, explaining that auin down col- . lar .would nolt rnterfej w itih the' noose. Then he sai down to. breakfast and ate heartily. During trre early morn ing hours D lrraist did no have much to say bpyord expressing a desire that no newspaper nien.shoUldE be allowed to see him. This request was complied with. I Consistent to the last, Durrant died professing religion. But he .died ac cepting at the last moment the com forts of the Catholic church, instead of those of the Baptist faith, in which: he was reared. Rev. Mr. IJader, a Protest ant minister,, had, arranged to ascend the scaffold 'vith Durrant, but the min ister would not say that he thought Durrant innbcent, and the condemned' nan declintd his services unless he professed belief in his innocence. Then it was that! the once ardent Baptist turned to. the Catholic church for con solation. anl called upon Father La gan, a priest who had frequently vis ited him in prison," to attend him Father Lagan responded and perform ed the last sblemn rites of the church Durrant remained in close consulta tion with, the priest, and seemed to be deeply interested in the impressive cer emonies.. As the hour ' oi tae ' erecu'icn ap- proached . th pri.onen. becair.e some what festles His father and mother were admitt id to bid 'him a last fare well. The elder Durrant -grasped his son byr the4 then turned hand, and the young man :o comfort his mother, who cally. Durrant embraced cried hyster her tenderly!, and sayingv , "The hour us to part," put her gently has come for away, The brief stricken mother was led to a rri jvate room,, where she re- mainedunti after the execution. The father, hojvej, went to the execution.l room -and, supported-by two friends,1 saw his son meet death. " - At 10:31 o'clock Durrant, aeccmpanied by Father Lagan, appeared at the door of the execution room. He Was fol lowed -by his father, a friend, Warden Hale and thi? guards. The father' and his friend walked around the sallows to the front' while Durrant and his keepers -clirriped to the; gallows plat form. Instantly- on arriving at the gallows Dumnt's Jegs and arms -.ere pinioned an the rope "was. pl&ed about his n;. The. hangman .was about to adjust the black cap when Durrant anniuncyj his desire to speak. Permission was given, and the doomed murderer spkke as follows: ' ." "I desire td say that, although I am. an innocent man, innocent of everv crime that lias been charged against me, I bear na animosity towards those that, have persecuted me, not even the press of San Francisco, which hounded me to the grave. If any man thinks J .am. going to spring- a sensatum I am no,t, except it is a' sensation that I am an innocent man, brought to the grave by my persecutors. But I for give . them al'..

The eager crowd of spectators grouped closer to the wooden framework, that they might not lose a Word of what was being said. Not a siound could be the even tones of the man about to' di. .

At the same man Lunt. liaised his : had, the tralp was sprung, and with a rattle DuTrartt's body shot, through the opening.

Markus McGeisey and Palmer"!SFmpson, two- Seminole Indians. They were charged with murder, their victim be ing. Mrs. James Simmons, a respectable farmer's 'wife, -living in Oklahoma. The crime was a most revolting bne( arid the criminals were punished in a most .re volting ina'nner: Mrs. Simmons was outraged-'and mtu"dereL ; The bodyj was horribly mutilated. The entire -populace lurried .out to hunt ahem down and punish the guilty parties, and they w'ere found, at the home of ;McGeisey, near Maud.fa small town on! the Seminole nation; After securing' their r prisoners the mob set fire to ' McGeisey's house and barn, and did not Ieaveuntil they saw all of his' earthly possessions reduced, to ashes. The prisoners were then carried back across the line ihto Oklahoma Terri tory; and near the scene of their crime they: wefe ; burned v at' the stake."

Ac . cording to this infprmation the mob's work is not yet finished, and will be completed only when four more Indians have been dealt ;with in the same man ner aa, McGeisey and Simpson. Th'e citi zens' jose was scouring" the country for. the four men when he messengii left Maud', and it is probable that at least part of the quartette have by this time paid the penalty decreed -.oy the mad populace. '. ' The crime which led to the burning' of -the" two meh was committed on last Thursday. .Markus McGeisey was th' owner of( spme property. On his- land lived a white', family named. Simmonsi During the absenc of the husband on Thursday McGeisewent to tW Sim mons 'cabin, and asked for a. drink of water.. Mrs, Simmons was at home wit-h.herSfour small children. The In dian was; given the water, and he then as", ed for. a-saddle. On being refused the saddle McGeisey grabbed the wo- majv.wno had.-her Daby in her arms, arid dragged her out" of the . house. When the woman attempted to run away the Indian seized a Winchester rifle aud dealt her a blow on the head. crushing the skull. The .woman died in stantly. I The murdered woman's husband did not return home Thursday evening, and the qHidren were unable to move the body jinto the house from where it had fallen in the yard. The little ones stayed up and watched their mother's jcorpse until the bitter cold compelled; them to relax their vigil ,and seek shelter from the weather in the cabin. -During the night the body was almost devoured by hogs.- .' . . The news, of the murder spread rapidly, and the whole pcfpulaee for 20 miles around was aroused. About 20 Indians were arrested. The oldest chi"d told the crowd that. McGeisey was the uiLty man, " and a posse , of 20 men arrested him and Simpson. Both con fessed : to i the crime apd named four others, who they declared were equal ly guiltyJ It developed that the In dians desired to get rid of certain white settlers, 4nd that McGeisey had been hired to db the murder, - The feeling 'was so bitter that the crowd wojuld not be satisfied with the ordinary jmethod of lynching, and it was .vote to burn them at the stake. The victims Were accordingly chained to an oak tree. Fence rails and dry wood wasj.then piled high tftibve them,; and in a : ew jnmutes tne inaianswere wrapped In -roaring- flames, while the timbers crackled -beneath their feet. Never a-word did the Indians utter while being roasted olive.. They saw apparently that they were powerless, and endured their lots like stoics.
