DCRRANT'S SEALED STORY
Given TO His wyers, and They Took
the Liberty TO Open 1t.


| San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Thc mysterious
statement which Theodore Durrant ad-
! dressed to his attorneys, and overswhich
| there has been so much speculation, was
| placed in the hands OF the attorneys for the
| defense before Mr.. Deuprey made his opening
statement before the jury.
Every effort has been made to keep these
| facts secret, but they have leaked out at
I last and denials are without effect
Durrant's attorneys knew this secret then
I and know ii now. In giving his sealed
| statement to his attorneys Durrant made Il
special written request that IL WAS not
to be opened until after the trial, and then
only after conviction.
III the jury brought in verdict of acqUittal
or if there was disagreement, then the
document, with seals unblSken, was to be
returned The attorneys did not know quite
what to do.
They sought the advice of others, and
finally determined 10 open the letter and
did SO, notwithstanding theinjunction which
the student had placed upon them. What
they read was n 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 a brace
OF murdererS instead of man defending
his own life against tremendous odds.
He told his attorneys that he knew the
murdercrs of Blanche Lamont. for their
were more than one. He informed his
law ycrs that when he assembled the upper
galleries of Emmanuel Church he saw the
last details of the murder.
He wrote in his letter that he saw the
Rev. ]. George Gibson and a young man
prominent in the affairs of the church bend
ing over the body of Blanche Lamont.
How the attorneys accepted this state
mcnt is best judged by their actions.
They deny that they received the state
ment, forgetting that they did not keep their
own statement.
Their client denies that he sent it. for
getting that he had gone so far in his
original and sensational PLAN
Attorney Eugene Deuprcy is still very
weak, and it is by no means certain that he
will appear again in the case Gen. Dickin-
son says he will cose at noon on Tuesday,
and verdict may. therefore, be conri-
IDENTIFY expected not later than Friday.
