The cries which “rnt up from them fell upon the ear of the convicted murderer’s mother like a& blow, and it seemed to bring her first realiza-. tion of the force of the wordsT)f the jury’s foreman. Her face was averted as she had nerved herself for the ordeal; but, though pcssessed of mharvelous courage, a cry burst from herlips, followed by a hysterical outburst of sobs. f As he listened -intently to theiwords which sealed his fate, Durrant paLtiaHy rose from his seat. =~ The look pn his face was one of defiance, and E’q was rpparent that he had it in mindito address the jury. The first cry from his mother changed his mind, if He had such intention. He sat down, tuned to his mother and took her fondly!in his arms. She rested her head &)n his shoulder and with his left armjabout her slender form he held herin a tender embrace, patting her with his lefit hand and with his right stroking her hair. He seemed oblivious to the factithat a verdict which meant death to him had been returned, oblivious to everything except the weeping woman who had sat patiently by his side through the long trial, cheering him with wérds of hope. If his display was of n'prve it was marvelous, and if of callojusness to any but filial sensations, 1f was egually marvelous. j After their diseharge, as the jurymen marched by Durrant and his ;ﬁ'other, they all looked sympatheticalljr upon the sad picture of the weeping woman upon the shoulder of her condiemned son. Then Judge Murphy ann%unced that next Friday he would pags sentence upon Durrant, and at thé¢ same time he would fix the time for beginning the .trial of Durrant-for th}e meurder of Minnie Williams. The verdict of the jury I_n‘eetis with general approbation. The towniis wild over it, and it resembles the aftdrmath to an election. Durrant himself takes it coolly and says he has not yit lost hope. His attorneys will take lan appeal to the supreme court on a bili of exceptions, the material: for wh?ch accumulated during the trial. i The material for the Minnie Williams trial has all been gathered and thie prosecution is prepared to go right ahead with it. It is certain that Judge Murphy will set an early day for the hearing. The general impression is that the result in that case will be thie same as the one just concluded. aok .
