Remarkable Grounds Upon Which ThcO-
dOre Durrant Seeks Pardon.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Theodore
Durrant, through his attorneys, has
asked Gov. Budd to pardon him on the
ground that the real murderer of
Blanche Lamont has at last confessed
his crime.
The lawyers declare that they have
not been hoaxed, nor is it their pur-
pose to impose upon the executive.
They insist that in the person of John
Rosenberg, a convict at San Quentin
prison, they have discovered the man
who is guilty of the horrors of Eman-
uel church.
John Rosenberg has made a sworn
confession before notary public,
and in the presence of several wit
nesses, that he killed Blanche Lamont
at the instigation of stranger. and
in consideration of the payment of
S7oO for his bloody work 1t is with
this sensation that the attorneys
strengthened their case at Sacramento.
The story and its details is one of the
most remarkable that has developed in
the long case.
Rosenberg is Russian sailor, and
arrived in this city on sailing vessel
from Hamburg, Germany, during the
last week of March, 1895, or on the
first day of April. He is now serving a
term for horse stealing. and appears to
be sane.
