SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26, 1S95.-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 this fact secret, but they nave
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
attorneys, Durrant made a special writ
ten request thai it was not to be opened
until after the trial and then only alter
conviction. If the jury brought in a YER
dict of acquittal or if there was a dls-
agreement, then the document, with me
seals unbroken, was to be returned. lne
attorneys did not know quite what to DO
They sought the advice of others ana
finally decided to open the. letter ana diq

He told his attorneys that he knew

there were more than one. He informed
his lawyers that when he assembled to the
upper galleries of Emmanuel Church he
saw the last details of a murder. He
wrote in his letter hat he saw the Rsv,
J.. George Gibson and a young man prom
inent in the affairs of the church bending
over the body of Blanche Lamont How
the attorneys accepted this statement IS
best judged by their actions:
They deny that they received the state

their own secret. Their client denies
that he sent it. forgetting that he mad
