were governors of states under the im

Great
bat
Panic In the Eternal . City
No Lives Lost. .
Rome, Nov. 1. A severe and pro
longed earthquake shock was felt here at
4 :38 this morning. Many houses swayed
badly, walls cracked and pictures fell
from walls. The peopls ran panic-stricken
into the streets, and a serious disaster
was apprehended. Happily the first
shock seems to have ended the subterra
neous disturbance without serious dam
age. Some idea of the alarm created
may be gathered from the fact that pris
oners broke out in open revolt and tried
to escape. The Vatican buildings were
severely shaken, but the pope was per
fectly tranquil. He sent to the nearest
police depot to inquire if there had been
any loss of life or serious damage.
The series of shocks lasted 11 seconds.
Two clocks in the observatory were
stopped and the old tower of the Roman
college cracked. Two houses collapsed
and it is reported several persons are in
jured. Four palaces and the Bank of
Italy are uninhabitable. The Pallacio
Odeschalcie and five other palaces are
seriously injured. The Vatican build
ings, the Quirinal, the main railroad
station and the ministry offices are also
reported to have sustained some damage.
THE PENALTY IS DEATH.
Durrant
of
Convicted of the Murder
Blanche Lamont.
San Francisco, Nov. 1. Theodore
Durrant, assistant superintendantof the
Emanuel Baptist church Sunday school,
was today convicted of the murder of
Blanche Laniont, for which he has been
on trial since July 22 last. The jury was
out 20 minutes, and arrived at the ver
dict on the first ballot. As there was no
recommendation of mercy, the punish
ment was fixed at death.
It was exactly 21 minutes from the
time the juty left the courtroom to the
time the verdict was announced, but
that time was all taken up in delibera
tion. In fact, there was no deliberation
at all. The jury had evidently decided
upon a verdict before they left the box.
It was 3:34 when they fi!ed out of the
courtroom into the grand jury room
which had been placed at their disposal.
It took the 12 men until 3 :50 o'clock be
fore they settled themselves comfortably,
and at 3:35 a knock on the door an
nounced to the anxious waiters that a
verdict had been found. It took just
live minutes of actual time to elect a
foreman and take the one ballot neces
sary. The scene in the courtroom When the
verdict was announced will never be
forgotten by those who were present.
Judge Murphy finished his charge at
3:30, and the jury at once retired. Al
though there was supposed to be little
prospect ot a verdict being returned be
fore 7 or S o clock in the evening, tne
throng of spectators, who had remained
in the overcrowded courtroom all the aft
ernoon to hear the judge's charge,' set
tled themselves back in their seats to
await the return of the jury. Mrs. Dur
rant and the prisoner talked and laughed
together as if an acquittal were, a fore
gone conclusion. They were joined by
half a dozen friends, and the conversa
tion was becoming animated, when it
became whispered about that the jury
bad agreed upon a verdict.
In an instant a hush fell upon the lit
tle circle that had gathered around the
prisoner. Durrant's face', always pale,
assumed a ghastly hue, and his mother
was speechless. Then the big doors at
the rear of the room opened, and . the
members of the jury filed, in and took
their seats in. the box.
In the intense excitement which fol
lowed, the room, although it was filled
to its utmost capacity, was almost as
quiet as if it had been vacant. Judge
Murphy, who had retired to his cham
bers, was summoned, and took bis place
upon the bench. Clerk Morris asked
the usual question, as to whether the
jury had agreed upon a verdict. Fore
man Warren Dutton arose and replied
in the affirmative, saying :
"We, the jurv, find the defendant,
William Henry Theodore Durrant,
guilty of murder in the first-degree."
As the aged foreman, pale and trem
bling, read the words which fixed Dur
rant's fate, a low rumbling noise like
the roar of a mob arose from the rear of
the courtroom. The next moment, men
were cheering wildly, while women hys
terically wept in their excitement. The
bailiff rapped loudly for order, but the
tumult continued for a minute before
anything like quiel could be brought
out of the disorder. Then District At
torney Barnes arose and asked that a
day be set upon which the sentence of
death should be passed upon the pris
oner. Judge Murphy said that sen
tence would be passed next Friday,
upon which day be would also set the
day for the trial of Durrant on the
charge of murdering Minnie Williams.
During the tumult which-followed the
announcement of the verdict, Durrant
and his mother were lost sight of, ex
cept by the few who sat near them. As
the last words of the verdict were
uttered, Durrant made a spasmodic
effort to arise to his feet, but before he
could do so, his mother, with a half
sigh, half moan, threw her arms around
his neck and sank back into her chair.
His mother's grief seemed to make
Durrant forget his own position, and for
the next few minutes he sat with his
arms around her neck, trying to sooth
her.- The long strain, however, bad
completely shattered her self-control,
and" it was some time before Mrs. Dur
rant could leave the courtroom.
