DarrMBt Mnt How Meet Ula rale - After Ike Lsss Delaja oribe Lmi, Teehwleal Palais or Lawyers Are Brushed Aside. Ban FbaNoisoO, November 10, Wm. Henry Theodore Durrant, the condemned murderer of Miss Blanche Lunioot and presumably the slayer of Miss Minnie Williams also, is to hang Nov. 12th. He was taken before Judge Bahrs to day to liave the date for the execution fixed. The Supreme Court of the United States refused on Monday to grant a. writ of habeas corpus f r Durrant and thus t delay the hanging. Attired in his best suit of clothes, over which he wore a faultlessly fitting over coat, Durrant made a conspicuous fig ure on the train and ferry boat, as lie was tuken from Han Qientin prison to court. At the city hall, great crowds impeded the progress of the party, and it was with difficulty that they were beaten back by the oflicers, ' When Judge Bahrs called upon Dur rant to stand at the bar, the young mur derer sprang erect, and then his marvel ous self control asserted itself. He was deadly pale, but calm and self possessed. As the date of his doom was pronoun ced just the suspicion of a sneer appeared on the corners ot his mouth. And when all was over and the officials began to clear the courtroom, he resumed his seat and chatted unconcerned1' with his father and some sympathizing friends. HISTORY OF HIS CHIMB. The dead body of Minnie Williams was found in the libraiy if Emanuel Baptist Church, Sun Francisco, April 12 lev.). Miss Lamont bad been missing for some time and the finding of the body of Miss Williams led to the belief that that of Miss Lainout might also be concealed there. This proved lo be the fact. A hul l icil search revealed the body in the belfry of the church, Suspicion fell upon young Durrant, who was a medical student, ap proaching graduation and conversing with the .method of handling lite human form in such manner as to avoid getting blood on his clothing. It was alsoTcnown that Durrant had b-'eu a leading spirit in the Emanuel Sun-day-3cliojl, which was attended by the Williams and Lamont girls. Furl her more, evidence was at hand showing that Miss Lamont was last seen alive in Durrani's company. Mrs. Vogel saw Durrant join Blanche Lamont ns she left school on the after noon of the murder. Mrs, Crosselt saw them together travelling south on a "Va lencia street cur. They got off at Tw'cnty second street and walked in the direction ot the church. Mas; Leake saw them enter the chuteh. At 5 o'clock the same afternoon Dur-ra-nt was seen in the church by (Jcnrge King, the organist, lie was dishevelled in appearance and said he was not well. Durrant on the witness stand admitted his presence iu the churc ll at ft o'clock that uftcrnoon. The defense nt the trial insisted that no moiivo lor Hie crnn;; was proved. The court took the ground that proof of motive was not essential. It was stated to be ut best a speculative question trenching on the realms of metaphysical criminology, and the opinion added: 'The deed may be due lo a single mo tive so bla k, so horrible, so monstrous that even when the books of the learned criminologist have been studied the nor mal mind still shrinks from a belief In the possibility of its existence," The case was given lo the jury Novem ber 1895, about seven mouths after the discovery of tho murder, and, although the evidence was circumstantial, the jury was out but five minutes. Durrant was sentenced to death on December tt, 181)5. - Since that lime every possible effort has been made by bis friends to prevent execution of tho sentence. Every tech. nlcallty known lo the sharpest pleaders has been resorted to save the younj man's life. TUB MARKETS. Yesterday's market quotations furnish ed by W. A. Porterfleld & Co.

Senor Dupny de Lome, the Spanish minister has re ceived the following cable message from 1 General Blanco, governor-general of Cuba, In regard to the "reconcentrados." "Extensive zones of cultivation have , been organized, daily rations are provi ded by the state and work is furnished. They will be well treated and cam be employed by the planters: they have free transportation and are protected in every way. Provincial protective committees have been formed and have already en tered upon their functions; they will con tinue to be organized in the remaining provinces with tho object of procuring the necessary relief funds. Subscrip tions have been set on foot to relieve lirst necessities, and everything that is hu manely possible is being done. An edict is published today not only grouting permission to grind sugar, but advising that this be done, and offering the necessary military and civil protec tion. Not a moment is lost in attending to all immediate needs which form the object of my personal attention. It is impossible to do more than I have done in the time that has elapsed."
