Editor of The BEE:
Your suggestion in the BEE of the
2nd instant that the patriotic people OF
this city should tender a compliment
tary testimonial to Mrs. John Waller
and her children, with view of aiding
them financially, is certainly timely and
should be acted upon promptly. No
man really serves God who does not
help suffering humanity.
Mr. Waller and his wife and children
are American citizens, and the fact
that he is now unjustly confined and
languishing in a foreign prison, is suf-
hcient to arouse not only the patriot
ism, but the charitable spirit OF our
best citizens regardless of race, creed,
or color.
/ am willing and ready, Mr.. Editor

tmOnial success.

Mr.. Graham rehearsed in minute de-
tail Holmes every transaction in connec-
ton with PietzeIs murder, tracing his
movements from place to place, and
drawing out every little circumstance
that weighed against the prisoner with
infinite slearness and force.
When he came to the testimony of Mrs.
Pietzel, he told the jury never in his of
fetal experience had he heard such a
tale as that told in the broken sentences
Of that despairlng, hopeless woman
that will-o-the wisp whom she kept flying
from place to place in the vain hope of
meeting her husband. And all the while
he was carrying with him three separate
detachments, Mrs. Pietzel, Miss Yoke
and the children, all within four blocks
of each other, almost travelling together,
under Holmes leading strings, and yet
each party ignorant of the presence of
the other two.
"Wh&t marvellous ingenuity, what
craft, what cunning" cried the District
Attorney.
why did he resort to all this duplici
tyi Why did he adopt so many subter
fuges, and why did be tell these many
storiesi 1t was because he had murder
ed Benjamin f. Pietzel"
Mr. Graham declared that there was
not one word of evidence to show that
Pietxel had committed or even contem-
plated suicide.
In conclusion, Mr. Graham said he de-
sired the jury to consider only the evi
denee connected with the murder of
Pietsel in the Callowhill street house and
nothing else.
81 ask you to remember this testi
mony. | ask you to remember that it is
uncontradicted, unchallepged and unre-
mitted. On the face Of that testimony
there can be but one conclusion-that
this man is guilty In the manner and
form as he stands indicted

MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE.
Durrant Says his Trial and Conviction
Seems Like a Dream.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 2-Theo-
dOre Durrant, convicted of murder, is
the same self-possessed, quiet, iron
nerved man that has been tried for his
life. He still mainoains his innocence
and after being taken back to jail from
the court room, said TO a reporter:
They say that my dear little mother
screamed when the verdict was announc-
ed. It's all like a dream to me. The
first thing that / remembered was that
her arms were around my neck. Every
thing else was cruel, so sudden, so harsh.
felt safe in her arms, / could stand
any injustice, any wrong, but for my
mother and sister"
What did you want to do or say Just
after the verdict was rendered.
81 wanted to get up and shout my in
nOcence. Before God, am innocent of
that crime. l wanted to get up and
cali God to smite me where / stood, if
my heart and conscience were not as
pure as those who were bowling with
JOY that had been branded as a mUr-
derer. told everything honestly and
fearlessly when / was on the stand. ]

me. Do you suppose if were guilty

When | was first arrested / gave my
statement and all / have said since has
been materially the same. Iwould have
got up yesterday but my mother, several
friends and the chief iailor closed in
around me and held me down. Even
so, do not now know why / did not
scream my protest above it all"
did you know any Of the people
about you?"
Eyes, some; I saw Mrs. Noble and
Maud and their friends clapping and
cheering. 1t seems to me with their
hearts so full of pity for their sister that
Mrs. Mobiles might have thought Of
my mother, She had all she wanted in
full measure and / think the ordinary
pity that one might feel for another's
misfortune would have prevented her
from gloating in so cruel manner.
Yes, heard the judge-who was both
judge and rosecutlOn-thank the jury
for doing their duty. can think Of it
all now, but yet / have within me the
consciousness of my innocence and /
shall not break down. feel the way
must be clear and will be vindicated at
last".
When asked if he contemplated sui
eide, Durrant said
Never. / think Of no such thing. /
think that man is coward who would
commit suicide. You can rest assured
that | will never do that. am hopeful,
believe me, that the way will clear. l
have kind letters from friends My father
came last evening with loving messages
and / rest in the assurance that light will
come"
Attorneys Dickinson and Duprey, who
defended Durrant, insist that their client
is an innocent man. They will ask Fri
day for a new trial, which will probably
be denied by Judge Murphy Then the
case will be appealed to the Supreme
Court on the ground that the judge
erred in a number of his rulings during
the trial. Attorney Duprey when speak

missed at noon on condition that the

Clarke said he was willing to abandon
