He then went to the sheriff, towhom he
confessed his guilt as perpetrator OF the
Emanuel church murders. To the district

his statements convinced his auditors Of
his perfect innocence and complete insan-
ity.
Barrett, who was formerly "A waiter in
San Francisco restaurant, says he saw
Durant and the girls on street car, and,
admiring Miss Lamont and Miss Williams,
he boarded the car in the hope Of making
their acquaintance. The trio alighted at
Emanuel church, Barrett following Dn.

followed still BY Barrett, while Miss viii
liams waited outside. Barrett says he hid

Il restaurant
| Meanwhile Durant had been overcome
| by gas and was So dazcd that he did mo-
see Barrett carrying The bodies TO the bel

to be hanged for his crime, and that h'
was sure nc would eventually be foun'
