The Final Struggle for Life.
A San
Quentin Convict Says
Killed Miss Lamont.
He
San Francisco, May 15. Theodore
Durrant, though his attorneys, asked
Governor Budd to pardon him, on the
ground that the real murderer of
Blanche Lamont has at last confessed
his crime. The lawyers declare that
they have not been hoaxed, nor is It
tncir purpose to impose on the execu
tive. They Insist that In the person
of John 'Rosenburg, a convict at San
Qucutln prison, they have discovered
the man who is guilty! of the horrors
in Emanuel church.
John Rosenberg has made a sworn
confession before a notary public and
in tile presence of several witnesses
that ho killed Blanche Lamont at-the
instigation of a stranger, and in con
slderatlon of the payment of $700 for
his bloody work.
The story and Its details is one of
the most remarkable that has devel
oped in the case.
FALSE CONFESSION.
San francisco, May 15. The al
leged confession of Convict Rosen
berg, of Sun Quentin prison, that he
muidercd Blanche Lamont, is utterly
discredited here, no one placing the
least credence in it. The police pro
nounces it a baseless fabrication.
The ship Ilospldar, on which Rosen
berg says he came hither from Ham
burg, arrived, according to the rec
ords of the harbor commissioners, in
Noyember, 1805. In cither case her
arrival Was subsequent to the murder
of Blanche Lamont, for which Dur
rant is to be hanged. She was mur
dered in April, 1895, so Rosenberg
could not possibly bo her murdprer.
TUB LAST CARD. - ' -
Durrani's plea for life was mude be
fore Goyernor Budd, Durrani's attor
neys relying chiefly upon the alleged
confession of a-risoner in San Quen
tin named John Rosenberg. The al
leged confession of the convict, Ros
enberg, was to the effect that he had
killed Blanche Lamont at the instiga
tion of a stranger, who paid him $700
for the job.
Before the attornoyand reporters
were admitted to the executive ofllcc,
Governor Budd sent for the records in
the case of John Rosenberg, and the
records disclosed that the prisoner
was sent from. Santa Clara county on
Saturday. April 17, 10 days after
Durrant, arrived In San Quentin.
In his description Rosenburg Is cred
ited with being five feet eight Inches
high, weight, 145 pounds, with vac
cine marks on the left upper arm and
small dots ot the base of tho left
thumb. This tallies very similarly
with the description of Durrant.
The governor then had Private Sec
retary Shields call up the district at
torney of Santa Clara county. This
action on tho part of tho governor
would indicate that he suspected a
put-up job on the part of Rosenberg.
Declared Not Insane. Upon
complaint of C. D. Abbott. W. II. Ab
bott was today examined as to his in
sanity before Judge G, P. Terrell,
J. A. Richardson and E, A. Pierce,
conducted the examination and de
clared the man not insane. Abbott is
the man who was received at the
jail April 29th, under commitment to
await the action of the grand Jury for
criminally assaulting a child.

SALEM, OKEGOK, SATURDAY, EATT
WASHINGTON
Tho Distressed Americans.
Relief Neasures Discussed By Mc
Kinley's Cabinet,
M
Washington, May H.-KThe meet
ing of tho cabluct was devoted almost
entirely to the consideration of the
Cuban question. The meeting oc
cured an hour earlier than'usual, ow
ing to the importance of the question
to be discussed, and the fact that the
president and cabinet were to leave
for Philadelphia at 12:15 o'clock to
attend the dedication of the Wash
ington monument. The cabinet dis
cussion was upon the advisability of
asking congress to provido immediate
relief to tho Americans who are, ac
cording to reports received from Con-sul-General
Lee, penned up, in tho
cities of Cuba and in actual'dungcr of
starvation.
WILL ACT
President McKinley has under earn
est consideration the advisability of
sending a message to congress next
week on the Cuban question. ( He is
inclined to suggest the mcasurcto be
adopted to relieve tho distress among
the American residents of Cuba.
The message, if it goes In, will be
entirely pacific. In order to have the
facts In which to predicate a message,
President McKinley has had cable
grams sent to every consular ofllec In
Cuba, making each give exact infor
mation as to the status of affairs in
his district by telegraph at once.
SOME OREGON PEOPLE.
While at Lebanon the other day
a number of persons remarked to the
writer that Rev. Lindsay, who has
been engaged as pastor of the First
Baptist church of Salem, was well
thought of at Lebanon. lie made a
lasting impression by his evangelistic
work there,
Col. C. B. Montague, county clerk of
Linn county, is probable the only man
living in Oregon who witnessed tho
transfer of tho Alaskan territory
from Eussia to tho United States. lie
was chief clerk in the quartermaster's
department of the regular army when
the change took place. Hie
duties required that lie charter
a steamer and several sailing vessels
to take tho timber and lumber from
San Francisco,to Alaska, for erection
of forts and military post buildings
at Sitka, Wrangcll's Island and Ouna-
iaska. This involved expenditures
amounting to several hundred thous
and dollars. Col. Montague, before
the panic of 1893 set in was worth
3100,000 of property In Oregon, .-and
Washington. While in the regular
army Col. Montague obtained a largo
and beautiful tract of land- near
Vancouver, where ho was stationed,
and for which he was offered 825,000
a few years ago. lie still has that
farm to fall back upon In case he should
retire from a political career. It is
not generally known that Col. Mon
tague came within a few votes of be
ing the fusion nominee for congress
in this district last year, in which
case he would now bo occupying Mr.
Thos. Tongue's scat, as he Is a vote
getter of acknowledged ability.
Wo have a joke on Ex-Mayor Gatch
of Salem. Last summer the States
man said one day that members of all
political parties were running to Hon.
CJaud Gatch for advice. This was
true. Ho Is probably the trusted con
fident of more men's political secrets
and ambitions than any man of his
ago In Oregon. As his futher, who
was for many years president of State
university of Washington, at a big
Balary, has recently reslgncp owing to
Populist control, tho young ex-mayor
may be called upon to tell Ills worthy
father Just what to do.
