Durrant Executed at San Quentin After Proclaiming Innocence
Theodore Durrant was hanged at San Quentin at 10 37 AM after a final speech asserting innocence and forgiving his persecutors. He faced the gallows calmly, received Catholic rites, and died without struggle, his death watched by six officers as crowds gathered outside the prison. Local sentiment split between belief in his guilt and sympathy for a man once seen as devout and respectable who was linked to the murders of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams.
