HANGING OF MAI
Remarkable Exhibition of Nerve bj
the California Murderer.
DIED PE0TI3TINOHI3 IHH00ENGE
In Speech From the Boa (Told II
Forgave Those Who "Hounded Him
. to the Grave" Condemned Man's
Father Witnessed the Execution.
Ban Quentln. CaL, Jan. . When Wilt
lam Henry Theodore Durrant died on
the gallows yesterday for the murder ,
of Blanche Lamont he gave an exhi- I
bltlon of coolness and nerve such as has
lAMAm h U. .aan iihiIm .Imlla nlmiim. '
stances. Hopeful almost to the very
last minute that something would in
tervene to save htm, he walked to the
scaffold and made a speech protesting I
his Innocence as calmly and with as
distinct enunciation as If he had been
addressing an assemblage of friends
upon some ordinary topic. His face
was pale, his eyes were red, but his
voice was firm, and he stood as solid
ly as a rock while he proclaimed his
Innocence and professed forgiveness to
those who, he said, had hounded him
to death.
There was not a hitch or accident
to mar the plans of Warden Hale in
carrying out the sentence. The noose
was adjusted, the trap sprung, the
stout rope held and Durrant'a dead
body dangled at the end. The neck
was broken by the fall of four feet,
and five minutes later the murderer's
body was cut down and placed In the
coffin.
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. Rader, a Protest
ant minister, had arranged to ascend
the scaffold with Durrant, but the min
ister would not say that he thought
Durrant Innocent, and the condemned
man declined 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, and 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 solemn 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- of the execution ap
proached the prisoner became some
what restless. His father and mother
were admitted to bid him a last fare
well. The elder Durrant grasped his
son by the hand, and the young man
then turned to comfort his mother, who
cried hysterically. Durrant embraced
her tenderly, and saying, "The hour
has come for us to part," put her gently
away. The grief stricken mother was
led to a private room, where she re
mained until after the execution. The
father, however, went to the execution
room and, supported by two friends,
saw his son meet death.
At 10:34 o'clock Durrant, accompanied
by Father Lagan, appeared at the door
of the execution room. He was fol
lowed by his father, a friend, Warden
Hale and the guards. The father and
his friend walked around the gallows
to the front, while Durrant and his
keepers climbed to the gallows plat
form. Instantly on arriving at the
gallows Durrani's legs and arms were
pinioned and the rope was placed
about his neck. The hangman was
about to adjust the black cap when
Durrant announced his desire to speak.
Permission was given, and the doomed
murderer spoke as follows:
"I desire to say that, although I am
an Innocent man, Innocent of everv
crime that has been charged agalnBt
me, I bear no animosity towards those
that have persecuted me, not even the
press of San Francisco, which hounded
me to the grave. If any man thinks
I am going to spring a sensation I
am not, except it Is a sensation that I
am an Innocent man, brought to the
grave by my persecutors. But I for
give them alt. They will get their Jus
tice from the great God, who Is mas
ter of us all, and there I also expect
to get Justice that Is, the Justice of an
innocent man. Whether or not the per
petrators of the crime of which) I am
charged are discovered, It will make
no difference to me now, but I say this
day wilt be a shame to the great state
of California. I forgive everybody who
has persecuted me, an innocent man,
whose hands have never been stained
with blood, and I go to meet mv God
with forgiveness for all men;"
Durrant had scarcely ceased speaking
when the black cap was placed over his
face. At the same instant Hangman
Lunt raised his hand, the trap was
sprung, and with a rattle Dun-ant's
body shot through tho opening.
In Just 11 minutes and 28 seconds all
signs of life had vanished. The body
was allowed to hang for 15 minutes.
when it was cut down and placed In a
blaok coffin. Then, accompanied by the
pnrents, It was taken to San Francisco.

TEE CONTEST Df OHIO.
Charcea of Bribery Both For
Asralnot Senator Haana.
Columbus, 0 Jan. 10. The latest
sensation In the senatorial contest here
la a charge by the friends of Hanna
that two prominent officials are Impli
cated In an attempt to bribe a member
of the legislature to vote against Mr.
Hanna. According to the story pub
lished this legislator had a stenog
rapher concealed in his room, who took
down the whole Interview, and the
Hannaites are holding this In reserve
to await the next move of their oppo
nents. The antl-Hanna men also claim
to have a clear case of attempted
bribery of one of their number, the
proofs of which they will produce at
the proper time.
Meantime the secret conferences of
the opposing factions continue, and
both sides express confidence as to the
ultimate result. There Is some talk
among the antl-Hanna men of putting
up Mr. Kurti, the leader of the antl
Hanna forces, for senator for both the
long and short term. But the Demo
crats are Insisting upon the affidavits
of eight Republican senators to vote
against Hanna before they will agree
to vote for anv Republican, and at
present, therefore, there Is no settled
candidate against Hanna.
The protests against the action of
Governor Rushnell In opposing Hanna,
which have been coming from all parts
of the state for the past ten days, took
formidable shaps in a mass convention
of Republicans here this afternoon,
when resolution were adopted vigor
ously denouncing Rushnell and the
antl-Hanna members of the legislature.
The governor's inauguration at noon
was quite up to the expectations of the
governor's friends In the point of num
bers and enthusiasm, despite the ef
forts of Hanna's friends to belittle It.
WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.
Father, Mother and Child Slaughtered
With an Ax.
Worcester, Mass., Jan. 11. Francis D,
Newton, a prosperous farmer of Brook
field; his wife, Sarah, and their 10-year-old
adopted daughter, Ethel, were
found murdered In their beds yester
day. The crime was discovered by
neighbors, whose curiosity was aroused
by the lowing of the unfed cattle. The
three had been killed with an ax.
A hired man who has been employed
by Newton Is mlsBlng, and the au
thorities are making a search for him.
He was known only by the name of
Paul. He was lost seen Friday night.
Just before midnight, by a neighbor
who was returning from a grange meet
ing. From this It Is believed that the
murders were committed between 10
and 11 o'clock Friday night. Newton
was 45 years of age and his wife was
three years younger.
The motive for the crime Is not
known. Robbery has been referred to
as a probable cause, but that. It Is
throught, does not account for the
slaughter of the whole family. More
over, Mr. Newton's gold watch was
found In his vest, which hung over a
chair back In his chamber.
A WOMAN'S REVENGE
IT a Influenced Her Husband' Voto
Aeulimt Her Slanderer.
Syracuse, N. Y.. Jan. 11. Mrs. Clar
ence E. Rice, wife of the Republican
alderman of the Sixth ward, announced
yesterday that her husband would no
longer continue with the Republicans in
the flzht for control of the common
council, but would vote for Democratic
candidates for city offices. Mrs. Rice
said: "The Republican machine has
made an entirely uncalled for attack
on me. Alderman Hill, one of the lead
ers, stated In an Interview that through
my Influence my husband voted for Al
derman Matty, thus coupling my name
with that of Mr. Mattv. When my
husband saw the Interview he left It
to me how It should be answered. My
answer Is that Mr. Rice shall vote for
the Democratic candidate for city
treasurer, and I think I can thus strike
a blow at the machine that it will feel."

DR HERS BIG CLAIM
Wants Fire Million Dollars From
the French QoTernment
EE CLAIMS TO BE PERSECUTED.
Dr. Hers Being an American Cttlsen,
Oor State Department Is Urared by
Counsel to Press the Claim For Dam
ages to Hie Health ana Reputation.
Washington. Jan. 11. Messrs. Dit
tenhofer, Lauterbach and Limburger,
counsel for Dr. Cornelius Hers, yester
day appeared before Solicitor Penfteld,
at the state department, and presented
a claim for Indemnity in the sum of
$5,000,000 against the French govern
ment for an alleged Illegal attempt to
persecute Dr. Hers. The case Is re
markable In many ways, and it said at
the department Is without a precedent.
The facts In brief are that Dr. Hers,
whose name stands very high In scien
tific circles as an electrician and phys
icist, although
born In France, j
of French pa
rents, Is an
American citi
zen. When he j
was about 3
years of age
his parentsrame
to New York and
acquired Ameri
can citizenship.
Young Horx was
educated In the
New York Free
Academy, now
the Pnllccro nf
CORNELIUS HERZ. the City of New
York, and received two degrees. He
rounded this out by courses in Heidel
berg and other European universities.
At the age of 16 years he was a lieuten
ant In the United States army. In 1871
he was charged by the municipal au
thorities of Chicago with a mission In
connection with the reconstruction of
the city after the fire. He afterwards
held posts of responsibility and honor
In San Francisco and New York.
Meanwhile his fame as an electrician
had spread, and he did much to extend
the study of this branch of science, be
sides establishing, as his brief claims,
the forerunner of one of the largest of
the great electrical' corporations now
In existence in this country. He married
an American woman, and when his
children were born In Paris he caused
them to be registered as American cit
izens at the consulate.
On Jan. 19, 1893, his troubles began.
He was stopping at Bournemouth,
England, with his wife, In bad health,
when he was arrested under extradi
tion proceedings on a warrant from the
French government, charging him with
fraud and embezzlement growing out
of the Panama scandal. Under the
law a prisoner wanted for extradition
must appear at the Bow street police
court Hers was confined to his bed,
and so-unable to appear. The case was
kept open, and he was continued under
arrest in his bed four years, during 1833
to 1898. Then the British parliament
came to the relief and passed a special
act that permitted the magistrate to
attend Here's bedside and take his tes
timony. This was done, and the mag
istrate promptly declared that the
charges were utterly Invalid and scarce
ly deserving of notice. This was May
2, 1898, and Herz was released from
arrest.
Meanwhile the French government
had Instituted proceedings against him
In France and confiscated all of the
property of himself and of his wife.
Dr. Herz alleges that this was persecu
tion pure and simple, and that the
French government knew that the
charges against him were baseless be
fore his trial. Therefore, claiming to
have been Injured In name and health
and in other ways, he demands that
the state department shall prefer u
claim against the French government
in full reparation. Although he names
no special sum. the brief shows that
he demanded the sum of $.'.000,000 In a
letter he sent to the president of the
French republic, but which was never
answered. The state department has
taken the case under advisement.
THE TRIAL OF ESTERHAZY.
in
Accusers I'rexent Very Flimsy
Evidence Airnlnst Him.
Paris. Jan. 11. The trial by court
martial of Major Count Ferdinand Wal-
8ln Ksterhazy, the retired ofllcer of the
French army w ho came Into prominence
In the latter part of November last
through the publication by Figaro of a
umber of letters, which the count Is
alleged to have admitted writing, re
secting In strong terms upon France
and the French army, was opened yes-
terday under the presidency of General
De Luxer. The general Impression is
that the day's proceedings revealed the
utter hollowness of the Dreyfuslans'
charges against Comte Esterhazy and
the tllinslness of the reasons for their
belief In th" Innocence of Dieyfus.
The evidence of Mnthleu Dreyfus was
exceedingly weak. There was a sensa-
'on In court when he declared Comte
E3terhnzy "a disgrace to his profes-
slon." The two men glared at each
other like wild beasts.

TerriMe Vengeance of a Mob on the
Oklahoma Border.
A SEMINOLE UPRISING IMMINENT
They May Declare War on the Whlta
Who FaatenedTwo Manacled Indian
Murderer to a Tree and Lynched
Them by Fire.
Fort Smith, Ark., Jan. 10. Justice In
a more horrible form than that meted
out to Henry Smith, at Parts, Tex., was
administered bv a mob on the Okla
homa border lust Friday night to J.
Markus McGeisey and Palmer Simpson,
two Seminole Indians. They wei
charged with murder, their victim be
ing Mrs. James Simmons, a respectable
farmer's wife, living In Oklahoma. The
crime was a most revolting one, and th
criminals were punished In a most re
volting manner. Mrs. Simmons whs
outraged and murdered. The body
was horribly mutilated.
The entire populuce turned out to
hunt them down and punish the guilty
parties, and they were found at the
home of McGeisey, near Maud, a smHll
town on the Seminole nation. After
securing their prisoner.! the mob set
fire to MeOelsey's house nnd burn, and
did not leave until they Haw all of hi?
earthly possessions reduced to ashes.
The prisoners were then carried back
across the line Into Oklahoma Terri
tory, and near the scene of their crime,
heavily loaded with chains, they wer
burned to death. They met death with
remarkable stoicism. Their manacled
frames, charred and burned beyond
all semblance of human beings, are
still reclining against the tree.
The mob Is scouring the country for
four other Indians who woi declared by
McGeisey, In bin dying conf-stion, to In
equally guilty with them.

Muskogee, I. T., Jan. ID. An alarm
; lug state of riot prevails In the Semi
i nolo nution, and unless Immediate steps
are taken by the United Slates author
ities a Moody Indian uprising may re

of two Indians by whites for murder
and outrage. Late last night Dr. C. P.
Linn, chief physician of the Seminole
nation, telegraphed to Indian Agent
Wisdom and Marshal Bennett for as
sistance In quelling the state of war
that prevails In the nation. He con
firmed the news of the stakj burnings.
Both the Indians came from respect
able Seminole families, and their fear

relatives to frenzy.
