DURRANTs SEALED STATEMENT
A Revelation to His Attorneys When
They Read 1t.

A Revelation to His Attorneys When
They Read It.
The San Francisco Examiner says
the mysterious statement which Theo-
dore Durrant addressed to his attor-
neys, and over which there has been
so much speculation, was placed in
the hands of the attorneys for the de-
tense 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 without effect.
In giving his sealed statement to his
attorneys, Durrant made q special
written request that it was not to be
opened until after the trial and then
only after conviction. If the jury
brought in a verdict of acquittal or if
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
determined to open the letter, and did
so, notwithstanding the injunction
which the student had placed upon
them.
What they read was a revelation.
Their client had told them nothing of
what he wrote in his letter. If what
he said we're true he should be the
leading witness for the state in a case
against O brace of murderers instead
of man defending his own life against
tremendous odds. He told his attor-
neys that he knew the murderers of
Blanche Lamont, for there were more
than one. he informed his lawyers
that when he assembled to the upper
galleries of Emanuel church he saw
the last details of q murder. He says
he saw Rev. George Gibson and a
young man, prominent In the affairs
of the church, bending over the body
of Blanche Lamont.
How the attorneys accepted this
statement is best judged by their &C
tions. They deny that they received
this statement, forgetting that they
did not keep their own secret. Theil
client denies that he sent it, forget
ting that he had gone so far in his
original and sensational plan.

guessed, the very note she had written
two hours before.
She read it through to solve the mys-
