DURANT FOUND GUILTY
The Jury Was Out but Twenty
Eight Minutes.
CROWD WAS WELL PLEASED
And Cheered When the Verdict Was Announced.
Mrs. Durant Broke Down and
Wept Bitterly.
San Francisco, Nov. 1.—Theodore Du
rant murdered Blanche Lament.
That wa# the verdict of the jury in the
case this evening. The jury was out
twenty-eight minutes. The verdict was
received with a shout of applause from
the audience, who packed the court room.
The closing scene of the great trial was
full of dramatic interest. The district at
torney's peroration was an able effort.
He said he had struggled to suppress his
feeling of repugnance to the defendant
and to be absolutely fair to him, and to
lay aside the feeling of horror and de
testation which hindered and oppressed
him. He oonfldently asserted that noth
ing had been stated in bis address to the
jury which had not been proved by com
petent evidence. Link by link the chain
had been welded until it had been shown
beyond doubt that Durant had murdered
Blanche Lamont on April 3 by strangula
tion.
The charge of Judge Murphy occupied
a little over an hour in delivery. Before
it began General Dickinson, Durant’s
counsel formally objected to the portions
of Mr. Barnes’ address abusive in their
nature, but the court considered them
proper.
The charge was a cold statement of
the law unrelieved by any stde desserla
tion. It was very fair and covered the
greater of alibi, circumstantial evidence
and the motive completely. The motive
would not necessarily need to be shown
as it might not appear on the surface.
Circumstantial evidence as to the mo
tive would apply as to 'other points in
the case. He stated that the California
law as to murder in the first degree,
which involved one whose death resulted
to a victim of a criminal assault, whether
the killing was or was not meditated. As
soon as the court completed the charge
Dickinson took an exception on the
ground that his honor had not read the
instructions submitted as the defense had
written them. The jury was then given
In charge of two deputy sheriffs and con
ducted to the jury room.
Suppressed excitement was manifested
throughout the court room and the cor
ridors outside during the wait which suc
ceeded the departure of the jury. There
was a great deal1 of speculation as to how
long the Jury would remain out. The
general opinion among those who had
followed the trial that an agreement
would soon be reached, but owing to the
mass of e^dence it was thought possi
ble that th? Jury might remain out all
night The result showed that the jury
men had also digested the evidence and
that the overwhelming case which the
prosecution had piled up had left* them
no option or room for doubt.
The Jury took the first ballot, which
was for murder in the first degree. Word
was sent at once to the court, and Judge
Murphy sent for the Jury. While this
was going on Durant sat in the court
room beside his counsel conversing with
his mother and several of her lady
friends.
As soon as Mrs. Durant learned that
the jury was coming in her demeanor
changed from one of gaiety, and a look
of dread came over her face, which was
not reflected in that of her son. He
stoically watched the Jurymen as they
took their seats, as if to get from their
features the import of the verdict which
their early return portended. As Fore
man Dutton pronounced the verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree, the
large audience, which had listened in per
fect silence for the words which he was
to utter, rose and uttered a yell which
echoed far out in the corridor.
Most of those in the audience were
women. The cries which went up from
them fell upon the ear of the convicted
murderer’s mother like a blow, and it
brought her first realization of the force
of the words of the'foreman. Her face
was averted, as she had nerved herself
for the ordeal, but though possessed of
marvelous courage, a cry burst from her
lips, followed by a hysterical outburst
or sobs.
As he listened Intently to the words
which sealed his fate, Durant partially
rose from his seat. The look on his face
was one of defiance, and It was apparent
that he had it In mind to address the
jury. The first cry from his mother
changed his mind—If he had such inten
tion. He sat down, turned to his moth
er and took her fordly in his arms. She
rested her head on his shoulder, and he
put his left arm about h»r slender form
and held her in a tender embrace, patting
her with his left hand and with his right
stroking her hair. Hg. seemed oblivious
to the fact that a verdict which sealed
his fate had been returned—oblivious to
everything except the weeping woman in
his arms. If his display was of nerve,
it was marvelous; and if of callousness
to any but filial sensations, it was equal
ly marvelous.
The triumphant shout from HOO throats
in the court room had been hushed by
the bailiffs and a hush fell upon the
crowd when Judge Murphy began to ad
dress the jury. He assured them that
they had the thanks of the court for the
manner In which they had performed
their duty and believed they would have
the thanks of the entire community. As
the jurymen marched by Durant and his
mother they all looked sympathetically
upon the sad picture of the weeping wom
an upon the shoulder of her condemned
son.
Then Judge Murphy announced that
next Friday he would pass sentence upon
Durant and at the same time he would
fix the time for beginning the trial of Du
rant for the murder of Minnie Williams.
The verdict of the Jury meets with gen
eral approbation. The town is wild to
night over it and it resembles the after
math of an eleotion.
Durant, takes it coolly and says he has
not yet lost hope. His attorneys tomor
row will appeal to the supreme court on a
bill of exceptions, the material for which
accumulated during the trial.
The material for the Minnie Williams
trial has all been gathered and the prose
cution Is prepared to go right ahead with
It. It is certain that Judge Murphy will
set an early day for the hearing. The
freneral impression is that the proceed
ngs in the case will be the same as the
one just concluded. So far as known Du
rant’s defense in the case yet to be tried
will be as weak as the one Just closed.

MORROW &
SUFFRAGE PLAN ADOPTED.
The Sole Object of the South Carolina Consti
tutional Convention Has Been Accom
plished-Plan in Detail.
Columbia, S. C.. Nov. 1.—At 11:25 to
night the constitutional convention of
South Carolina adopted the essential sec
tion of the suffrage plan, putting on the
parliamentary clincher, thereby accom
plishing the sole object of the convention.
The section was adopted in the following
shape:
Section 4. The qualifications for suf
frage shall be as follows:
(a.) Residence in the state for two
years, in the county one year, in the elec
tion district in which the elector offers to
vote four months and the payment six
months before any election of any poll
tax then due and payable; provided,
however, that ministers in charge of an
organized church and teachers of public
schools shall be entitled to vote after
six months' residence in the state If oth
erwise qualified.
(b.) Registration w'hich shall provide
for the enrollment of every elector once
in ten years, and also an enrollment dur
ing each and every year of every elector
not previously registered under the pro
visions of this article.
(c)—Up to January 1, 1898, all male
persons of voting age applying for reg
istration who can read any section in this
constitution or understand and explain it
when read to them by the registration
officer shall be entitled to register and
become electors. A separate record of
all persons registered before January 1,
1898. sworn to by the registration of c,
shall be filed—one copy with the clerk
of the court and one in the office of the
secretary of state—on or befure February
1, 1898, and such persons shall remain
during life qualified electors unless dis
qualified by the other provisions of this
article. The certificate of the clerk of
court or secretary of state shall be suffi
cient evidence to establish the right of
said citizens to any future registration
and the franchise under the limitations
herein imposed.
(d) —Any person who shall apply tor
registration after January 1, 1898, If oth
erwise qualified, shall be registered, pro
vided he can both read and write any
section of this constitution, or can show
that he owns and has paid all taxes col
lectible during the previous year on prop
erty In this state assessed at $300 or
more.
(e) —Managers of eleotions shall re
quire of every elector offering to vote
at any election before allowing him to
vote proof of the payment of all taxes,
Including poll tax, assessed against him
and collectible for the previous year.
(f) —The general assembly shall provide
for issuing to eacih elector a certificate of
registration, and shall provide for the
renewal of such certificate when lost, mu
tilated or destroyed if the applicant is
still a qualified elector under the provi
sions of this constitution.
There was much opposition expressed
to the plan when many members on
the floor could only mean fraud under the
understanding feature, the supervisors
being the judges of the sufficiency of the
‘‘understanding" most of It melted away
after it came to the final vote, which is
69 to 37. Irby's opposition did not seem
to count for muchv There was no end of
speaking at the night session.
At the morning session the convention
had what may be termed "historical
day.” It resolved itself into an historical
society and historical records had the
dust shaken from them and were careful
fullv examined. The side show tihat was
in progress on the south side of the hall
during the hlstorcal society meeting may
be appropriately entitled “The Black
Crook.” And It was all, so to speak, an
attempt to prove that black was white,
though there were some whites who were
endeavoring to prove that black was
black, and in a few Instances very, very
black. The blacks devoted their efforts
to proving the first proposition—the
whiteness of the blacks.
To be more explicit, the history of the
reconstruction period was under discus
sion all day, and some Interesting pages
were added to the record of that memora
ble period, which was steeped in fraud
and robbery'- It was all brought about
by Senator Tillman’s reply to the speech
es which were made at the beginning of
the discussion on the suffrage matter.
The senator threw the career of Smalls
and Whlpper up In his speech and
oharged that they were both members of
the famous original “Black Crook com
pany," which 4ad a continuous run in
this state from the close of the war to
1876. Some Interesting matter, new so
far as the general public Is concerned,
was brought out, and Whipper, the ne
gro delegate from Beaufort, made a
splendid speech In hl^ own defense.
Miller, Smalls and Whlpper, the three
leading negro members, made powerful
speeches, the last ttvo defending them
selves from personal attacks on their
records. Whlpper concluded his powerful
speeon tnus:
“I throw down the gauntlet now and
challenge the world to go through all the
records and find one thing against me.
You would besmear every negro who de
fends his race In the lack of argument.
Such argument came very far from com
ing up to what our people consider the
high standard of gentility.
"They want to engraft into this consti
tution something that will deceive the
world and themselves. You may de
ceive yourselves, but you won't deceive
the world. I was plaintiff at first, but
now I am disposed to become defendant.
Put it there if you dare, and you will see
"our constitutional lawyers treading on
H as if they were walking
on eggs. It won’t be three years before
you have another constitution to meet
the exigency. You have magnificent, in
exhaustible’ water supply In this state.
It is going to waste because you are al
ways fighting to chain the negro down.
You wish to continue to wear the chains
that hu*»g around you during slavery.
You can birrd down the negro, but you
will make the greatest mistake of your
lives. You can wen now hear the rum
ble of the car of negro development and
progress coming, laden with negroes ed
ucated and being educated. We are not
scared. The negro will ere long come
and claim hts own. I am ptanding here
trying to make South Carolina feel that
,1 have lived here on her soil."
The convention, after adopting the
plan, adjourned at 11:40 p. m. until 7:30
p. m. on Tuesday next.

T
THINGS DRAMATIC.
A top heavy house witnessed the pro
duction of "A Ride fort Life” at O'Brien's
last night, but those who were present
seemed to enjoy the play very much.
From the frequent applause emanating
from the gallery, it was evident that the
gods were highly pleased with the en
tertainment furnished.
Jack Woodruff and Edward Marston
both love Annie Powers. Marston corn
knits a murder, for which Woodruff is ar
rested, convicted and sentenced to hang.
By the aid of friends he escapes from
Jail the night before the date fixed for
the execution, and, mounting a locomo
tive provided for the occasion, eludes
the officers. With his father and loved
ones, he goes to the border between the
United States and Mexico, and they oc
cupy a house through the middle of
which the border line runs. Here he is
discovered by detectives.
An Italian who saw Marston commit
the murder, and who has been his part
ner all the time, divulges the story of
the crime, and is shot by Marston, who
ts taken in custody by the officers. Wood
ruff is set free.
The locomotive used on the stage is 34
fee* long, and running at full speed pre
sents a very realistic scene.
The cast is very good. Atkins Law
rence plays the part of Jack Woodruff
very cleverly, and Harry Driscoll does
very well as Marston.
The specialty acts of Miss Corrie Ezler
and Frank Cl. Mack were well received,
and little Miss Mabel Taliaferro’s sing
ing wras heartily encored.
“A Ride for Life” will be produced
again today at matinee and night.
J. K. Emmet as “Fritz in a Mad House.”
J. K. Emmet undoubtedly owes much
of his remarkable success, both artistic
and financial, to his keen desire and
earnest effort to please the public, as well
as to his undoubted dramatic gifts, at
tainments and magnetio personalities.
Unlike many "star” actors, he has never
attempted to give the public an impres
sion of his own superiority by contrast
with the efforts of a supporting com
pany of mediocre actors. He has always
surrounded himself with aotors of splen
did ability and reputation, and has won
his success through his own positively
personal merits and the general excel
lence of his productions. He shows his
appreciation of the generous patronage
of the public by engaging a stronger
company than ever this year to support
him in his charming play, "Fritz In a
Mad House." The company included:
Misses Emyline Barr. Laura fl. Huwe*
Kate Eckert, Kitty Francis, Messrs. L.
P. Hicks, Willard Newell, (Hilbert Braith
watt, Charles Stewart, George Hernan
dez, Charles A. Prince, Little Baby
Spencer Sinnot and others. Mr. Emmet
and his company will present “Fritz In
a Mad House” at O’Brien's next Tues
day night.
Sousa’s Band.
The announcement that Sousa's band
has been engaged for one performance
htre will be received with delight by all
music lovers in the city. Sousa's has a
reputation second to no musician in
America, and he comes here on the 8th
with a band of first-class artists in their
line.
John Philip Sousa, tthe noted bandmas
ter, has the faculty of catering to all
classes of ears. The Wagner enthusiast,,
the lover of sentimental Italian music,
and the every day American, who likes
soul-stirring marches, will each find
something to please him. The enthusi
asm at his concerts would be a revelation
to those who imagine that music is mere
ly something to analyze, dissect and
study. Perhaps they might conclude,
in time, that the ultimate purpose of mu
Ble is that soulful enjoyment arising out
of the vocal and Instrumental expression
of melodius and harmonic numbers, but
at present they deceive themselves into
the belief that music pleasant to hear and
agreeable to a sentimental nature must
be trivial and worthless. John Philip
Sousa disapproves this ridiculous theory
in the most substantial manner. HIS
programmes are composed of extracts
trom the works of tihe best music writers.
s< arranged as to form pleasing and ef
fective contrasts, and while the expres
sion of a military band is more limited
than that of a grand orchestra, owing
to the absence of strings, he does not
fall to lend a charm even to those ex
oerpts from Wagner so frequently in
troduced in his programmes. Sousa
seems to have struck the key note of pop
ular concerts.

The Complaint of Eraat Faber, the German
Manufacturer.
United States Consul Theodore M. Ste
phan. at Annberg, Germany, In a report
to the department of state, gives pub
licity to the complaint of Ernst Faber,
the German lead pencil maker, as to
cheap American pencils.
"The valuable cedarwood,” Mr. Faber
says, "is wasted In a barbarous manner

in America; whole districts of the finest
forest land have been cleared, blit never
replanted, so that we obtain always
more rarely really good cedar wood, and
the blocks which we are now obliged to
use supply only half as many pencils
as formerly. Not only does the oost of
the production of the pencils rise consid
erably In consequence of the bad wood,
but the American industry pours upon
the market its surplus product of thous
ands of gross below cost price, and so do
presses the prices in countries which im
pose only low duties or none at all. The
consequence of this is that the German
manufacturers can only compete at a loss
and that the trade In cheap markets,
such as India, Mexico, Japan, Australia,
etc., is as good as lost. The English mar
ket has been literally swamped of late
years with cheap American pencils at
ridiculously low prices. The conditions
In other countries are almost as unfavor
able to the eOrman export trade as in
the United States. Italy, Russia and
France impose immense duties on pen
cils, and In France the use of German
pencils In schools, public boards, rail
ways, etc., is forbidden."
