OTHERS VISITED THE BELFRY.
Strange Remarks Which Were Made
by the Janitor's Son-Lamont
Inquest.

The tower of the Emmanuel Baptist
Church was not the lonely, deserted spot
which those believe who argue that
Theodore Durrant must be guilty of two
murders because they assume that he
possessed exclusively familiar acquaint-
ance with the hidden hooks and corners of
that edifce. There is evidence to show
that not only were half hundred others
visitors to the now haunted .belfry but
their visits were SO frequent as to become
> a source of annoyance.
e. Half way up the stairs which lead from
: the celebrated tower door to the belfry,
where Blanche Lamont's body was found,
is a small opening, perhaps foot square,
which lights the interior.
- A shutter swinging inward serves to
:close the aperture in stormy weather, but
usually ii stands wide open. Visitors to
the belfry must pass this open shutter, and
passing it can have no other destination
than the now blood-stained floor at the
very top of the tower.
e. That the visitors were numerous the
shutter bears silent but incontrovertible
witness. 1t has but one smooth surface,
but that is covered from top to bottom
with names written in pencil. Some have
been there for years, and the weather has
left of them only scarcely perceptible
