DURRANT HANGED AT LAST. m.-
Pays the- Penalty of His Terrible
Crime on the Scaffold.
San Francisco, Jan. 7.—Theodore
Durrant, the murderer of Blanche La-
ment and Minnie Williams. was hanged
at 10:30 this morning, after the most re—
markable fight for life in the history
of California.‘ '
Nearly 200 persons witnessed the
hanging. ‘Before Durrant was brought
into the death chamber Warden Hale
made a speech to the assembled crowd.
demanding absolute silence and order
during the execution.
Durrant's father has not decided what
disposition he will make of the body.
Owing to the fact that some of the
cemetery associations refuse to receive
it on account of the notoriety that
would result, the elder Durrant threat-
ens to bury the body under the broad
waters of the Pacific Ocean. Friends
are trying to induce the parents to have
the body cremated.
Yesterday afternoon every barrier
that had kept him from the gallows so
long was swept away.
Gov. Budd, to whom a last appeal
had been made by the attorneys for
the young murderer, announced that
he would not interfere in the case, and
that the law must take its course.
In Washington an attorney for Dur-
rant made a forlorn appeal to Justice
Brewer, of the United States Supreme
Court, to.interfere and grant a stay in
the proceedings, but Justice Brewer.
after looking into the subject thorough-
ly, announced that he could not act.
This sealed the murderer’s doom.
EXPRESS COMPANY ROBBE
Clerk Has Disappeared with $10,552
in Cash and Bonds.
New York, Jan. 7.-—The sum of $5,582
and five $1,000 bonds of the Consumers’
Gas Company of Chicago were stolen
from the American Express Company
yesterday morning. A clerk in the
employ of the express company is ac-
cused of the theft.
The bonds and money were stolen
from a branch office of the company at
Forty-seventh street and Madison ave-
nue. The theft was first discovered
when a messenger went from the
Grand Central station to the office yes—-
terday morning to get the packages
which were to go out on the early
trains.
He arrived at the branch office at 6
o’clock and, to his surprise, found the
doors standing wide open. No one was
in the place. The messenger investi—
gated and found that the doors of the
safe were also open. He then reported
the facts to General Manager Julier,
who, upon examining the safe, found
that the five bonds and the money were
gone.
Mr. Julier also thinks that securities
valued at $1,500 were taken. The clerk
had been in the employ of the company
for several years. So efficient was his
work and so trustworthy was he con~
sidered that the officers of the com-.
pany sent him up to the branch office
on Madison avenue to take charge as
night clerk three days ago because the
regular night clerk, was sick. Both
the police and private detective agen-
cieshave been notified of the theft,
but as yet no clew to the whereabouts
of the missing clerk has been obtained.

’Phoned from a Submarine Boat.
Baltimore. Jan. 7.——Successful tele-

yesterday between the lake submarine
boat Argonaut and points in this city
and W’ashington. Everythin worked
admirably. The voice 'from t e waters
could be heard as plainly as though the
person with whom you were conversing
was at your side. XVith this arrange-
ment it now has on board, the Argo—

in reasonable distance of any telephone
line, and form a connection, such as it
has in Baltimore, with the community
