[T —— 14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1897. DURRANT MAY Prison Directors in Favor of a Commutation of Sentence. HIS TRIAL DECLARED UNFAIR. Strong Belief Expressed That Governor Budd?’ Will Temper the Decree of Judge Bahrs to Imprisonment for Fifty days hence, if tie law's decree as pronounced by Judge Bahrs is carried out, Theodore Durrant will be hanged by the neck until he 1s dead. But each passing day, it is claimed by those who have doubts of his guilt, by bis attorneys and by his friends and relatives, adds to the n his sentence being commutea to life im- prisonment. The most significant ex- piessions along this line come from no less the Board of Prison Directors. 1t is true that they have no legal power to change the fate of the doomed man, but as an advisory body to the Governor their influence would mean much to the pris- er. In no case have they the power to grant pardons or ten r justice with leniency. Petitions for pardons or commutation of sentence are simply referred to them for | their consideration, and should they deem any particular case worthy of favorable action, they communicate their views to toe Governor, with whatever recommen- | dation they consider proper under the circumstanc While the Governor has invariably beeded such suggestions as the D irectors may make, he is still absolntely free to pass upon the matter as he thinks fit. In capital cases, however, the board as- sumes not even this advisory duty unless it1s specially imposed on it by the Gov- ernor, as was done in the case of the Cummings brothers, sentenced to death from San Bernardino. In that case the Governor had abont made up his mind to commute their sentence to life imprison- ment, but before doing so referred the matter to the Prison Directors, telling them frankly of the bent of his mind. After due consideration of the testimony and of the case in all its phases the board eonveyed e the Governor its agreement with his views, and the commutation fol- lowed in due course. It is very probable that should the Gov- ernor be petitioned for commutation in bebalf of Durrant, as it is announced that he will be, he wiil again call upon the board to pass uvoa the matter. It is positively known that two mem- bers of the board—De Pue and Fitzgerald —are of the opinion that Durrant d:d not bave a fair trial, and that they are in- clined to favor a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment. Another of the directors—Devlin—asserts that he is open to the conviction that Durrant did not have a fair trial, and might be influenced to advise 1or 8 commuiation, while the re- maining two—Hayes and Wilkins—are strongly opposed to any clemency being exercised. The most startling expression eiicited ay was from Director Hayes, who his unqualified opinion that no one wouid see Durrant hanged for the Teazon that there would be no execution on June 11; commute the sentence of the convictea murderer to life imprisonment. WILL NOT BE HANGED. Prison Director Hayes Says That Is His Opinlon Concerning Durrant. Prison Director Daniel E. Hayes said that he thought it possible, and, indeed, very likely that Governor Budd might ask the advice of the Prison Directors con- cerning the commutation of Durrant’s sen- tence if any great pressure shonld be NEW TO-DAY. ——— A higpy man is a healthy man, and a bealthy man is {,enerally happy. ou never saw a happy man in your life who had indi- gestion. If a man gets up in the morning with a foul taste and fouler breath; if he feels listless and lizzy and blind the minute he steps | out of bed; if his breakfast doesn’t taste good ; if he feels utterly incapable of work, it is a pretty sure sign that his digestion is out of order—that his principal trouble is constipation. If he lets this condition run on, there is no telling where it will stop. Nine - tenths of all human sickness comes from constipation. The first thing that every doctor asks when he is called to see a patient is whether the bowels are in good order. It is nonsense to call a doctor for such a simple thing. It is nonsense to let such a simple thing g\'cw into such a serious thing, as it always does if neglected. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They not only afford immediate and pleas. ant relief from all the distressing symp. toms, but they cure permanently and posi- t There are 10,000 medicines that can be taken, to give temporary relief. The ““Pleasant Pellets” are the only things that really cure. There are plenty of druggists who will try to sell you something else. You know just as well as we do that am honest druggist wouldn’t do such a thing— that an honest druggist would give you what you ask for. You know that when a druggist insists on giving you something else, there must be a reason for it. We know what that reason is—he makes a big- ger profit on the other thing. Any drug- gist in America will supply the * Pellets * if you #nsist on it. The People’s Common_Sense Medical Adviser, in plain Ea- glish, or Medicisie Simplificd by V. Pierce, M.

But I would | | not vote to commute Darrant's sentence if | the sense of the board was a-ked in the matier. 1 have no doubt concerning the fairne<s of the trial. Dirrant had a fair trial in my opinion. Perhaps I ought not | to sav in advance how [asa member of | the board would vote in a supposititious | case. but that 18 the way I feel aboutit.”’ | Prison Director Hayes further stated that he does not believe Durrant will be | executed. Mr. Hayes’' expression of | opinion was brought out while discussing the morbid taste of the people who take | great delight in witnessing scenes that terrify. At the last meeting of the Prison Directors at San Quentin on Saturday they decided not 1o issue any more permits io witness the ex=cution” than is provided for in the statutes. It was while speaking of this action that Mr. Hayes said: “You | would be surprised to know what a rush | | and scramble there is for invitations, or, | | rather, permits, to see Theodore Durrant | hanged. Warden Hale has received sev- | eral hundred letters begging for passes to witness the execution. I, too, have re- ceived many such requests—fully a hun- dred, Tam sure. Many send letters and a great many spend hours waiting to see me in order to ask for a permit. 1 have received as many as a dozen letters from | people jn the East who ask for permits io see Durrant hanged and they | say thatif their requests are granted they | will come to this coast at once in_order tc | see him executec. I have refused to grant | all such requests and so have the other directors, and Warden Hale has been in- | structed to act upon the line of this poi- 1cy. You would be surprised to know the | names of some who are the most desirous | | of witnessing the execution. You would | give them credit for better taste.” “But there will not be any one to see Durrant hanged,” he added. “‘How is that? What reasons have you | for believing that no one will see Durrant executed ?” was asked. “I have reason to believe that Governor | Buda will commute the sentence to im- prisonment for lite,”” was Director Hayes’ | answer. Mr. Hayes would not state di- | rectly what the reasons were on which the Governor would interfere with the carry- ing out of the death sentence, but he in- timated that the circumstantial nature of | the evidence connecting the doomed man with the murder of Blanche Lamont would weigh greatly with Governor Budd in Durrant’s behalf. u — - NOT FAIRLY TRIED. | Emphatic Opinion Expressed by | Prison Director Fitzgerald Re- garding tne Case. | Director Robert M. Fitzgerald was em- | | phatic anda outspoken in nis opinion re- | garding Durrant. | “Sofar as the press and the publicis | concerned,” he said, “Durraat has not | had a fair show: he has not had the trial intended by our institutions aud our laws. “Iam not now entering into the ques- | | tion of his guilt or innocence. I velieve | tuat it would be possible, with the press | and all the reporters against a man, 1o | | convict him in a case where there was no | guilt, and very easilv. This phase of the | | sitnation, I feel, is the most important in the whole matter. | | “Ithink that if some of the relatives of | | the girls whom he is alleged to have mur- | dered should shoot him, it would beé bat a | | degree worse than the hueand cry that | bas been raised in this case. | “This is the way I feel about the case and have felt aboutit. I have not, from | what I have aiready read of the case, be- come convinced of his guilt. I think | there are a great many who feel exacily as Ido. Itseems for some reason or other that people think it would be either un- | popular or unwise to express their opin- |ions. 1 don’t feel so. I am as much entitled to express my opinion as any private individual, and do so now simply 45 a citizen, and notas a member of Lh Board of Prison Directors. | “‘Lwish rignt here to say that I have never bad an individual speak to me in Durrant’s favor. I never saw him except on Saturday when he appeared before the board, and 1 know none of hisrelatives in any degree. I never saw one of them. “Thequestion of identity in this case would leave ubsolutely no impression on me. I havehad actual experience where evidence was more positive, and yet it turned out to be absolutely erroneous. “The heat engencered by the excite- | ment of the discovery of the doubie | tragedy and the trial of the accused is now | passing away, and Idaily see ind‘cations | that people now recognize that Durrant bes not had the fair and impartial trial that he shoula have had.” gy DEVLIN UNBIASED. | On a Sufficlent Showing Might Be Induced to Vote for Com- mutation. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Avril 20.—“What do I think about the execution of Dur- rant?” said Prison Director Robert T. Devlin to a CALL representative this even. ing. “Why, really I have never given the matter a thought, This is something new, isit not? I have not even heard the matter discussed. Ofcourse, as a lawyer, when a jury and court, after caretul ex. amination nto the testimony adduced pro anda con in a case, find the defendant guilty, I believe the sentence of the court should be carried out; that is speaking in a general way, *“About this particolar case I can only say that I am entirely unbiased. I know of no reason why the sentence of death shouid be changed 1o that of life imprison- ment, nor, for that matter, do I person- ally know of ary reason why it should not be, “In the Durrant case, never having fol- lowed the testimony but in a superfeial, | returned and general way, 1 can only say that unless JAMES R_SOVEREIGN, General Master Box 34, Sulphur Springs, Ark W.

Knows Nothing About Commuta- tion, but Insists Theodore Is Innocent. Theodore Durrant’s father was not at his home, at 1025 Fair Oaks street, last evening. At 10:30 o’clock he had not re- Mrs. Durrant bad no idea when he would b= in. As a consequence no opinion or utterance could be secured from Mr. Durrant last evening. Mrs Darrant listened attentively and with evi- dent interest to a statement that some of the Board of Prison Directors might think | favorably of commuting the sentence of her son to life imprisonment, but sne de- clined to express any opinion. I have not seen our attorneys to-day,” she said, | “and I do not want to say anything. Mr. | Durrant is out and may not be in for a | long time. 1do not know when he will come in. Idonot think that he would care 1o be interviewed. Iam ot at lib- | erty to speak for him. Since you ask it I suppose that I can say that he naturally would like anything that would be favora- ble to Theodore, but understand clearly that I am not speaking for him. I know nothing about any movement for the com- matation of the sentence.” Mrs. Durrant stood at the half-opened door of her home as she spoke. Suddenly she procluimed anew her belief in the in- nocence of her son. Her hand shook and her voice trembled as she said: My boy, my baby, is innocent.”’ Tears stood in her eyes and her emotion was yitiful to witness. A lLttie pause and she went on: ‘‘Oh, what a persecution it has peen; but 1 know that he is innocent; that he is as innocent of the crime charged against him as an unborn babe.”” B ke AT SAN QUENTIN. The Days Are Fleeting Toward the Time of Executlon. SAN QUENTIN, CAL., April 20.—The prison life of Theodore Durrant, convicted of the murder of Blanche Lamont, is pass- ing without incident. The youthful mur- derer is & model prisoner. He complies with the rules of the prison without a | sign of reluctence and has made friends with the other prisoners in murderers’ row. His mother and father are his only visitors, and the meetings between them | are always affecting. No fear is felt by the prison authorities that Dorrant will attempt to take his own lite, and the dreary uneven:ful days are slowly dragging away and the fatal June 11 is drawing closer. Stiil the Prison Directors and Warden Hale are deluged by applications for passes to witness the hanging. but strin- gent rules are to govern the affair. It is not to be made a holicay occasion nor are morbidly inclined to be in atiendance. The Prison Directors recognize that the execution is a :rave occasion and not an exhivition on theatrical lines. TEACHERS GIVE. THANKS A Show of Appreciation for the Passage of the Annuity Bill. Legislators Received in the Girls’ High School at a Large Meetine. There was a meeting of school teachers in the Girls’ High School yesterday, the object of which was to recognize and show appreciation for the efforts of the San Francisco aelegation to tie last Legisla- ture in securing the passage of the teach- ers’ annuity bill. There were present ot the delegation, Assemblymen Jones, Dibble, Pohiman and Muicrevy, and the committee from the teachers themselves, consisting of T. H. McCarthy, vice-principal of the Wash- ington Grammar School; Miss Frances Hodgkinson of the Girls’ High School and Miss French of Berkeley. A. L. Mann, principal of the Denman Grammar School, presided and explained the objects of the meeting. He said it Was t0 54OW 8 proper spirit of apprecia- tion of the efforts of the iegisiators most active in their support of the bill, and then he introduced the gentlemen them- selves. Mr. Mann said, too, that of the 927 teachers in the department 671 had signi- fied an intention to join the annuity as- sociation and he expected that within a few weeks the remainder of the teache: would also join. ‘Assemblyman Jones also spoke, detail- ing the evenis and the efforts precedin and leading up to the passage of the bill. Assemblyman Dibble and "Assemblyman Pohiman and Assemblyman Mulcrevy aiso spoke. School Directors Head and Bantel, P. M. Fisher, ex-Superintendent of Schools of Alameda county, T. H. McCarthy, M.

WOMAN’S RELIEF CORPS | IN LINE. i A Patriotic Message From Agnes | Hitt, National Presi- dent. SUCCESS OF THE SCHEME IS ASSURED. Grand Armv Posts in Department Enc mpment Will In¢orse and Aid the Movement. The plan to erect in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, a monument to the mem- | | | carries with it a proposition to create a Lincoly day in the public schools of the Urited States, meets with the readiest recognition und most hearty support of leading men and organizations through- out the Union. The enthusiasm already awakened is a surprise to the promoters of the patriotic enterprise. W. W. Stone, president ol the Lincoin Monument League, the man from whose mind the idea emanated, 1s bimself surprised at the magnitude of the success already achieved. In an Interview last evening he said: *‘To tell you the truth, we did not an- ticipate commencing public action on the monument fund until after Memorial day, but the enterprise of THE CALL in seizing hold of the proposition and estimating 1ts possibilities has resulted in almost carry- ing us off our feet in the rush of publicity. Impatient demands are coming in from ail sides for certificates. “‘Most of our executive board will start on the morning train for Salinas. Thede- partment encampmentof the Grand Army of the Republic will be notified that we are alive and want recoguition.” President Stone was one time at the head of the Knights of Labor on this coast and recently he wrote the following letter to James R. Sovereign, the successor of Powderly : SAN FRANCISCO, April 5, 1897. James R. Sovereign, General Master Workman Knights of Labor—My DEAR SI& AND BROTHER: 1inclose herewith u circuiar of our Lincoin Monument League, to which L beg leave to | call your attention. You will see that we are Wworking on a seem- ingly double line. We are laboring to raise funds for & suitable monument to Abraham Lincoln, to be erected in our grand park here, 2nd it is our purpose to establish, 1t possible, & Lincoin day in the schools of thé country. Instead of turning children out into the streets on a legal holiday to fritter their time away in idle piny we propo: s of our schoolhouses and prepare suit. le songs and recitations for a Lincoln day. Tu this way we shall be able to give tho chil. dren an object lesson in histors that will remain impressed on their minds during their lifetime. You wiil be able to assist us very materially in this enterprise. From my knowledge of our local assemblies they meet, tran: usiness in & perfunctory manner and adjourn. Why not give them something (0do? Let them become iuterested in our Lincoin Monu- ment Lesgue; let them appoint commitiees to g0 out and visit schoois and schoolteachers and talk about the value of patriotic instruc- tion; have them take hold of Lincoln day and Lincoln monument and tney will have an ob- Jective point that will iight up their meetings and infuse new life into the order.

She is heartily in accord with the monument scheme, as the annexed letter will testify: WOMAN'S RELIEF CORP: OFFICE OF NATIONAL PRESIDE g L April 15, 1897, neoin Monument A ADE: Your leiter Liuliy agree with you in nday in schools, but I do not altogether agree with your opinion as to the dute. It might be weil this year to observe the 28th day of Mar fora Lincoln monument day. but I should much prefer, if such a day is established, that it should be either Febru- ary 12 or April 14. The reasons are ocbvious. The school children of Indianapolis have furnished the flowers for Memorisl day for a number of years.and I think itisalmosia general practice throughout the State and the country. Oneof the tundamen principles of the Womun's Relief Corvs is to inculcate lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children. By & resolution passed in the National Convention in 1893 an active crusade on that line was begun. You will now find almost every corps at work introducing patrioiic salutes, patriotic primers and charis into our pubiie schools.

Peter Donahue, who leaves on Thursday for an extended European trip, was the guest of honor at a dinner given last even- ing by Mr. and Mrs. W. D. O'Kane at their elegant home on Broad way. The guests were seated at a round table that glittered with a wealth of silverware, Bohemian glass and an exquisite faience. In the center of the table was a circular bed of deep pink roses, interminglea with maidenhair and delicate fern. The menu was in keeping with the ex- quisite appointments. Covers were laid for ten. THE SECRETARY THANKED Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Honor, Candidates to Be Voted For To-Day O ficers and Representatives Entertained. The Grand Lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Honor convened in annual ses- sion yesterday in the Alcazar building. Tnere was a full representation from all the lodges of the jurisdiction, and ail the grand officers were in attendance. The morring session was tuken up in the examination of the credentials of the representatives and the conferring of the grand lodge degree on a dozen candidates entitled to receive the same. At the afternoon session the reports of the grand brotector, grand secretary, grand treasurer and the finance committee were presented and referred to a commit- tee consisting of H. W. Quitzow, T. H. Berkey and Mrs. E. R. 0’ Donnell. The grand secretary was instructed to send a message of greeting to Supreme Secretary Lockhardt at Bradford, Pa.

Matters that come under the head of secret work were brought up during the afternoon and the lodge then adjourned to meet this morning, when the election for officers will take place. Mrs. Belle W.

Do you know the reason why you will 20 to the hospital, my poor friend? Because you have allowed yourself to go from bad to worse. You did not know that that heat, swelling and ten- derness in your left side were all signs of congestion of the ovary. Any intelligent woman could have told you that congestion is fatal to the uterine system, tion, and that you were in awful danger. Now (_, you will have to undergo the operation of ovariotomy, the cutting out of the ovary. Yes, you will recover, at least I hope you will; but you will never be quite the same woman again. Congestion of the ovaries is fatal to health. If you have any such symptoms be advised in time; take a medicine of specific powers! You can find none better than Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, prepared especially to meet the needs of woman’s sexual system. You can get it at any good druggist's. Following we publish a letter from a woman in Milwaukee, which relates how she was cured of ovarian trouble: ** Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I suffered with congestion of the ovaries and inflamma tion of the womb. Ihad been troubled with suppressed and painful menstrua- tion from a girl. The doctors told me the ovaries wculd have to be removed I took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still remained in mis erable healthin both body and mind, ex pecting to part with my reason eacl coming month. After using one bottlc of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound and a package of Sanative Waslj Iwasvery much relieved. I continued to use your remedies until cured. The last nine months have been passed ir perfect good health.
