DURRANT Is INDIGNANT.
Story Of the Mysterious Statement sent
TO his Attorney AngerS Him.

to his Attorney Anglers Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct. 12-The
story OF the mysterious statement of
Durrant sealed in an envelope marked
ITO be opened if am convicted" brought
forward so prominently by District At
tOrney Barnes, does not seem to worry
the defense's lawyers or the defendant
so much as il angers them. Durrant
himself, is not only wrathful, but pro
tesses TO be greatly surprised at the CON
duct OF the reporter upon whose testi-
mony the prosecution will rely to tab
hsh its point. II do not like to say any
thing against woman, said Durrant,
"but my disappointment is so keen that
cannot keep silent" "
1.-The reporter had been kind to me in
many ways has given me repeated as
surances of belief in my innocence and
has often said that had her PRAYERS for
speedy termination of this terrible
nightmare. She has repeatedly sought
expressions Of opinion from me. Adher-
ing to an inhexible rule of not DENYING
or endorsing anything whether for or
against me, | always gave her the same
answer. My time has not come to talk.
AT recent call she detailed this dra-
matte yarn about my having written a
mysterious something which | put in an
envelope with strict Injunction dis
tlnctly written on the outside, that it be
returned to me in case of acquittal, or
opened In the event of conviction. This
stupid story annoyed me, and realizing
how much talk this would make, | asked
her as a special favor that she make no
mention OF 1t in any way, either to the
press or to the prosecution. She read Iy
assented to my request and even went
further
"'If you doubt me- she said Get
your Bible -
II took that dear book and passed it
to her. She placed it on the wicket door
and solemnly swore that she would make
no mention of it.
Imagine my surprise when the dis
trict Attorney asked me about that en-.
velope. 1t was not that / cared about
the story. 1t was not true. / had moth
ing to fear. So little did it impress me
after | supposed it was relegated to
oblivion where it belonged that had
absolutely forgotten it.
NAObO a otdJChI6ub, IL Is ITue, every
body knows that 1t was made public
but somewhat garbled. There was moth
ing mysterious about it, and no envelope
enclosed it.
"The PRESS talk of my coolness, my
nerve. 1t is not my fortitude in this
hour of darkness, it is my ar-abiding
faith in God that sustains me- have faith
in his goodness that He will protect me
because | am innocent of these frightful
crimes.
"The District Attorney has made con-
siderable sport of my ignorance of the
word 'alibi'. | had never been interested
in things criminal; l have never read
trial, the word was as strange to me as
if it had been sanskrit. After my ar
rest | heard the word several times,
wondered what it was and did not ask,
as knew it would make me appear ig-
norant. The conversation soon in
Structed me-"
