In Alameda Miss Williams residad H.

ian to accompany him to the city as he
had something important to taIk aho,,+
She declined to go, however ramarL;,c.

peasant consequences. The girl indig-
hahtiy repulsed him, and afterwards

DURANT ARRAIGNED.
This afternoon Durant was arraigned
In the police court for the murder of
Marian Williams. The hearing was
set for Monday next.
A squad of police resumed their
search OF Emanuel Church this after
noon for further traces of Blanche La
monts murderer. Under a beam in the
roof of the church the girls shoes were
found. Her school books were discov-
cred secreted between the plaster and
the framing. The discovery is i'm
portant, showing that Miss Lamont did
not go home from school after her
meeting with Durant. Blanche's miss
ing glove and hat pin were also found
secreted on the roof.
Police Detective Anthony has ident-
lhed Durant as the man who. eighteen
months ago, took the daughter of an
ex-policeman to San Jose and BETRAYED
her. After returning here, Anthony
says, Durant forced the girl to become
an inmate of a disreputable house.
The police now believe Durant intended
TO burn the church and so destroy the
evidence of his crimes.

DURRANT's STATEMENT.

In 1t He Charges That Rev. Gibson anu
Young Man Murdered Blanche La
mont.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 2S.-The Exam
iner says: The mysterious statement
which Theodore Durrant addressed to
his attorneys, and over which there
has been SO much speculation, was
placed in the hands of the attorneys
for the defense before Mr.. Deuprey
made his opening statement to the
jury. Every effort has been made to
keep these facts secret, but they have
leaked out at last and denials are with
out effect. Durrant's attorneys knew
his secret then and know it now. In
giving his sealed statement to his at
torneys, Durrant made special writ
ten request that twas not to be opened
until after the trial, and only then in
the event of his conviction. Ii the jury
brought in verdict of acquittal, or II
there was a disagreement, then the
| document, with seals unbroken, was
to be returned The attorneys did not
know quite what to do. They sought
the advice of others and finally deter
mined to open the letter.
What they read was a revelation.
Their client had told them nothing OF
what he wrote in his letter. If what
he said were true he should be the
leading witness for the state in case
against brace of murderers instead OF
man defending his own life against
tremendous odds. He told his attor'
news that he knew the murderers Of
Blanche Lamont, for there were more
than one. lie informed his lawyers
that when he assembled to the upper
galleries of Emanuel church he saw
the last details of murder. He wrote
in his letter that he saw the Rev. j
George Gibson and young man promi
nent in the affairs of the church bend
ing over the dead body OF Blanche La
mont. How the attorneys accepted
this statement is best Judged by theil
actions. They deny that they received
the statement, forgetting that they
did not keep their own secret. Thei
client denies that he sent it, forgetting
that he had gone so far in his origina
and sensational plan.

counts, Francis j. Kieckhoefer, chief
of the bureau, and Edward Hayward,

eral days ago and the announcement
of his appointment may be made to-
